These side quests are the ones that were most likely to have left an impression on the player for any number of reasons. As is the nature of the game, side quests are always full of narrative intrigue and because of this, it would be remiss not to discuss the spoilery minutia these quests have to offer. If you have not completed them yourself, you are implored to do so as there are twists and turns you would like to experience for yours

Head into the Fringe Hero's Grave by way of the Stranded Graveyard. Past the chariots and a flamethrower will be a lift. Take it to the top and a corpse teetering over the edge will have another Stonesword

The Blind Swordsman was born and raised in a clan or band of steppe nomads. Instead of focusing on the arts of archery or horsemanship like his fellow nomads, he dedicated himself to mastering the way of the sword, crafting a defensive martial art that used dance-like movements to distract the eyes of the sighted, keen hearing to block enemy attacks, and a honed sense of touch to unleash lethal counter-stri

The next Erdtree Avatar you'll be searching for is located in Caelid. To get there, travel to the Smoldering Church Site of Grace and make your way Northeast ; you will see the Erdtree in the distance. You will come across enemies as you ride down the hill; it is advised that you take them out, so they don't interfere with your bat

If a Tarnished has no desire to run around the map hunting down Stonesword Keys, they have another option. Spending extra Runes they have acquired will allow the Tarnished to not spend precious time hunting for the keys they s

The comparison between fallen leaves and the mist is even made explicit by the cutscene’s narration. Like the other non- Duskborn Elden Ring endings where the player becomes Elden Lord, the narrator states, " The fallen leaves tell a story " about how a Tarnished became Elden Lord " In our home. Across the Fog. The Lands Between ." However, the Age of the Duskborn ending is the only ending to intercut these two lines with " Our seed will look back upon us and recall ." This line emphasizes that the fallen leaves and fog represent death. Furthermore, it makes it explicit that the "seed" or future generations will only be able to remember the Tarnished through stories because the souls or "Remembrances" the Erdtree used to contain are now d

This fact becomes important to the mist when Godwyn’s curse mark is combined with Ranni’s to make the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince. Since the curse marks are combined, the rune can cause both the souls and bodies of living things in the world of Elden Ring 's Lands Between . This is why the Erdtree turns pallid and leafless when the Rune of the Death-Prince becomes part of the Elden Ring: the souls and bodies buried in its roots face permanent death, removing the life force from the tree. And just as Erdtree’s leaves die and fall as a result of this, so too must the tree shed the dead souls it contained. And since the Erdtree emanates a mist in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene, it appears the mist is precisely how the Erdtree sheds itself of these dead so

There is also a sixth location for the bonus Erdtree Avatar ; he will be in the Deeproot Depths . The reason he's not considered one of the five main avatars is that he doesn't have the health bar at the bottom of your screen, so he technically isn't an official boss. Though, taking him out will reward you with the Staff of the Avatar , a mighty wea

The second Erdtree Avatar that you will go to is located in Southwest Liurnia. The fastest way to get there is to travel to the Converted Tower Site of Grace , and on the road that leads north, in the distance, will be the Erdt

Elden Ring 's spirit ash summons may be extremely useful , but some members of the game's community cast harsh judgment upon those who make frequent use of them. Commonly viewed as a crutch used by those who refuse to "git gud," some Elden Ring fans can't seem to justify the use of any item that wasn't previously included in earlier Soulsborne ga

Inside the Sage's Cave are many enemies, but an Axe Skeleton is the one to pay attention to its location. It will be north of the Sage's Cave Site of Grace, and within the skeleton's room is an Illusory Wall that can be rolled through to reveal another Stonesword

The second to last Erdtree Avatar is located in the Northeast of Liurnia . The fastest way to reach this foe is by traveling to the Mausoleum Compound Site of Grace . From this Grace point, visit Blindsurprise here >> you should be able to see the Erdtree Directly to your E

Instead of a simple wind-up and swing, Elden Ring bosses will wind up, feint, dodge, duck, and only swing at the least opportune time for the player. Margit, the Fell Omen is particularly guilty of this, and, as one of the first bosses new players are likely to encounter, he makes for a great "welcome to Elden Ring " mom

With all these direct examples of how fearsome the Scarlet Rot covering Elden Ring 's Caelid can be, the legendary feats of the Blind Swordsman, a character players only hear about second-hand, becomes all the more impressive. By all in-game accounts, this blue-clothed wanderer was no Demigod, had no special affinity with Incantations or Glintstone Sorceries, and merely wielded a single curved sword in battle. And yet, this mysterious legend somehow managed to defeat and seal away the Outer God who brought the rot itself - perhaps because he embodied everything that the Rot was
