This guide will cover one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly classes: the Vagabond. So whether you are new to Souls-like games or you are a returning veteran, here is how to best build the Vagab
Where Dark Souls 1 and 3 didn't offer many incentives to experiment with new weapons or magic, Dark Souls 2 encouraged you to try out new things more. Power stances (which made a triumphant return in Elden Ring) are a great example of this, whereby dual-wielding weapons of the same class would put you into a “power stance”, unlocking a whole new move
The Dark Souls 2 DNA runs right through Elden Ring, and we shouldn’t overlook that. Yes, the bosses are a little lacklustre taken as a whole ( but there are some great ones ), yes, the world connectivity is non-existent, and yes, Soul Memory should never have existed, but there was way more to the game than that. It was a Dark Souls game that was less prescriptive, and more experimental, and in that way it paved the way for FromSoftware's open-world triumph eight years later.

Once retrieved, bring the Amber Starlight back to Seluvis. At this point in time, you can stop his little side story with no consequences for Ranni's own questline. You will have to speak with him twice to get the Magic Scorpion Charm Talisman, which boosts your magic damage at the cost of lowering your defense. The other option is to complete his side story and repair the damage done with Ranni, but you will need some Celestial Dew to do t
Both Elden Ring and Dark Souls 2 eschew intricately connected, almost Metroidvania design in favour of More Support expansive and varied worlds. One of the reasons I struggle to go back to Dark Souls 3 is how uninspired the visuals are. There are certainly stand-out moments, but for the most part, it just feels like more of what the original game already did. Cathedral after cathedral, a couple of castles, and the odd sewer. There were very few moments that gave me a reason to stop and take in my surroundi
FromSoftware games are known for big, bad, and bloodthirsty bosses, and Elden Ring is no exception. The game is packed with tough boss fights, and while many of them are optional, Tarnished players will still have to prove their might in combat against the Lands Between's most fearsome foes to beat the game. Fortunately, every boss has a weakness, and players can ensure victory with the right strategy and the best Ashes of War in Elden Ri
The most important, (and difficult,) choice any player makes on a new Elden Ring game is which class to play as. Seeing as there are 10 different playable classes to choose from, it can be a tall order! Luckily, Elden Ring has something for any type of player, and the flexible game mechanics make customizing a unique build easier than e
Status build-ups are a solid choice against many enemies and especially in PVP. While darts are visible, another player may lose sight of it in the heat of battle and either initiate or further a poison buil
Generally, the Longsword is a more effective weapon than the Halberd, but both can still pack a punch! Do not hesitate to utilize the Heater Shield as well, as it has a 100% damage reduction that pairs perfectly with the Vagabond's high endura
A very solid early weapon is the Lordsworn's Greatsword . It is able to be used effectively after only two points are put into the strength stat (16,) and works wonders against early-game enemies. Plus, its massive critical damage is a perfect compliment to those who can master parrying and backstabb
But I've always had a soft spot for Dark Souls 2. It did a lot wrong, but I've always maintained that it also did a lot right. There's a creativity and variety to it that I feel has been almost completely overlooked. For the longest time, I was resigned to Dark Souls' first sequel being a one-off, a failed experiment, a dead end. That being the case, Elden Ring felt like a massive vindication of my love for Dark Souls 2. At times, it almost feels like its spiritual succes
Crafting in Elden Ring is often forgotten and overlooked. Just like stealth, it is an incredible feature people got excited for then reverted to the simple ways of handling problems. Crafting allows you a plethora of items that can easily turn the tide in bat
