Elden Ring

Elden Ring is largely a solo experience, but like past FromSoftware games, does integrate multiplayer where you're able to call in assistance in certain ...

Too many games see a wish for open world co-op and think that means players want an MMO, when really, all they want to do is play with a friend or two. Obviously this could create some problems in practice, but if it manages to work as intended, this seems like a pretty transformative experience that should make for a lot of fun. However, that’s about to change through a new, incredibly impressive-looking mod.

An Elden Ring modder has orchestrated the ultimate Battle Royale, pitting each of the game's demigod bosses against one another.

People have played it using a Fisher Price toy, the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller, and someone has even made a working VR version of the game. Elden Ring has also been beaten in under seven minutes by a speedrunner, completed without taking or dealing damage, and fans are also modding every other entertainment franchise imaginable into the game. YouTube user Garden of Eyes - who's previously modded legendary summon Let Me Solo Her into Elden Ring and pit Malenia against every other boss - uploaded a video of all six demigod bosses battling throughout a handful of different rounds with different rulesets.

The fan behind Sekiro's co-op mod is also making one for Elden Ring and a public beta is coming very soon.

The aim behind the mod is to remove all multiplayer boundaries and allow for connections to persist even after a player dies. The fan behind Sekiro’s co-op mod is also making one for Elden Ring and a public beta is coming very soon. For anyone who wants to properly explore The Lands Between with another player, you’ll be pleased to know that a true co-op experience is coming to the game very soon.

It may not be Bloodborne 2, but one secret location in The Lands Between comes close.

If this particular Iron Virgin catches and kills you in this way, it transports you all the way to a mysterious magma-filled location in Volcano Manor where you’re trapped until you can find a Site of Grace – or also discover that it’s connected to Prison Town. The beauty of Elden Ring is that while intimidatingly vast there is always something fascinating to discover. However, the way you find the secret hidden passage down below the manor, before reaching a small church and slowly opening its double doors, also reminds me of the way hunters explore Yharnam’s Cathedral Ward... only to discover that Old Yharnam lies just beneath it. That place turned out to be Caelid, a complete hellscape where skulls form on cliff faces, where the centre of the map is just one big toxic swamp, and where you’re chased mercilessly by giant dogs and crows. But, even if you did reach the manor and befriend the enigmatic Lady Tanith (who basically turns you into Agent 47, handing you letters identifying NPC targets for you to invade and assassinate), you probably wouldn’t know that there’s actually a whole town hiding beneath it, out of sight. But there’s another, more notable tribute to Bloodborne in Elden Ring. In typical Miyazaki fashion, you’ll very likely miss the first time you play throught the game.

The Elden Ring Seamless Coop mod will remove all multiplayer boundaries and allow for connections to persist after death. Game progression is also shared.

For more information on Elden Ring, the Elden Ring Seamless Coop mod, and everything in between, stay tuned to TechRaptor. Other mods can be used if all players have them installed and active, so if only you have a randomiser it will only work for you. For those that are worrying: no, you won't be banned, as the mod doesn't connect to FromSoftware's online services.

For those who aren't inclined to mod their games, or those who don't game on PC, there'll also be a collection of Twitch streams with a set of bug-hunting alpha ...

All of these restrictions exist for sensible game balance reasons, as the developers at FromSoftware likely want there to be some challenge still present when summoning help. This is in addition to Elden Ring’s strict co-op boundaries, which limit the summoning of cooperative partners to certain areas and automatically dismisses them when the nearby boss or den of enemies is cleared out. The news comes from LukeYui’s YouTube channel, in the form of a groovy new video showing off what folks can expect should they take the mod for a whirl when it becomes available for public beta testing Friday, May 27.

Developed by FromSoftware, "Elden Ring" has been a hit with critics and gamers alike with many considering it a revelation in open-world game design and user ...

Fans of the series seem to also think that "Elden Ring" is far from done. "Theoretically speaking, Martin has perhaps done enough work in the world-building for a sequel to be viable, but that's still questionable." but in a different place, different timeline, different story about a ring that happens to be Elden." To commemorate "Elden Ring" surpassing 12 million copies sold worldwide, FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco published a press release expressing gratitude for the success of "Elden Ring." "It's astonishing to see just how many people have been playing 'Elden Ring'," FromSoftware president and game director Hidetaka Miyazaki said. "Elden Ring" is no different and is created in virtually the same vein as its predecessors. Prior to the massive success of "Elden Ring", FromSoftware had made a name for itself with the " Souls" series, a third-person RPG franchise also known for its difficulty and emphasis on strategic combat.

Blaidd's voice actor agrees the half-wolf is a very good boy and can be a naughty one as well.

Although most of the tweets Arthur read were as innocuous as a horny Twitter post could be for a 2D video game character, one tweet proved to be too much for even this adventurous-seeming voice actor to read aloud. While Arthur’s embarrassment at reading comments about Blaidd being “thicc and hot” occupy its opening minutes, things took a turn for the better in the video’s latter half. Today fans of Elden Ring’s breakout furry husband Blaidd the Half-Wolf are eating well, as his voice actor not only read y’alls’ terminally down-bad tweets for the NPC wolfman, but leaned into them with gusto.

Elden Ring builds of Doctor Strange and Obi-Wan Kenobi fight to decide which is the dominant pop culture franchise this month, Marvel or Star Wars.

So, who wins between Star Wars and Marvel? Watch ’til the end to find out. Doctor Strange, of course, had elegant robes, various powerful Elden Ring spells and incantations, and an equally stylish beard, so both players were pretty equally matched. You can see the full fight below.

An Elden Ring player makes a surprising and potentially valuable discovery when they accidentally glitch through an impassable gate.

It may have only happened due to a perfect storm of variables, which could include the menus, assets loading in, damage from the Omen, walking backward, and other possibilities combining into a frame-perfect impossibility. In the video, the Elden Ring player is shown exploring the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, a dungeon below Lleyndel full of Omen enemies, sewers, and more. The player later confirmed they tried it again and weren't able to replicate the bug.

One Elden Ring player boasts the impressive feat of completing Ranni's questline 50 times and obtaining that many Dark Moon Greatswords.

Ranni is one of the most characters in the game, after all. It has quite the legacy that pairs well with the themes and complexities of Ranni’s quest. Many know that this is one of the game’s longest, most complicated questlines, and to do it without a guide is pure luck.

In a moment straight out of Looney Tunes, a player captures the moment a ladder camper falls to their death while attempting to knock the player off.

Instead, as opposed to an extremely patient Elden Ring rune farming hunter, the host managed to turn themselves into a meme straight out of Looney Tunes. However, it didn't seem like the host was ready to make contact with dat_bass2 only to phase through their body and end up falling off themselves; first of all, it makes no sense, and secondly, the ladder should have stopped the host from flying off. That ladder player was Reddit user dat_bass2, who took the video as well as offering a title of advice: do not use an attack that lunges forward while aimed at a ladder.

If fans ever wondered who would win in a fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Doctor Strange, Elden Ring's PvP with creative players answers the question.

However, Strange’s attack manages to register at the same time and kills Obi-Wan. Both characters perish in the same instant and synchronously buckle to their knees as the “YOU DIED” title card appears. Now that most players who had started Elden Ring months ago have finished its story, players have enjoyed finding creative builds to experiment with in the game’s PvP system. However, a lot of Elden Ring’s fun as an action RPG comes from its role-playing.

Elden Ring is getting a fully-fledged co-operative multiplayer expansion mod later this month, and alpha testing is already underway.

The release of a proper, fully-fledged co-operative multiplayer mode is bound to get many players back into the Lands Between, however. The Seamless Coop mod, on the other hand, is adding hugely important multiplayer functionality for players that just want to enjoy persistent co-op gameplay with friends. Charming as these might be at first, these systems come in the way of regular co-operative multiplayer action in more ways than not.

There's a secret place hidden within the Lands Between, where the downtrodden are safe and where two demigods might make the world a better place.

Again, there are gaps here, but we can infer that Latenna might have been trying to lead the Albinaurics of the Liurnia village here, to Ordina, when they were attacked by Ensha. The Albinaurics seem to have been fleeing to a new home, a place where they could live without being forced to serve others, as it seems they are in Liurnia, or persecuted and murdered, as they were at Volcano Manor. The ghost at the top of the castle suggests that Castle Sol and Niall worked for Miquella in this regard, trying to use the eclipse to restore Godwyn's soul, with Miquella seemingly offering them a place at the Haligtree if they were successful. The ghost suggests that failure meant that Niall and the spirits of his men were stuck in the castle endlessly, guarding the medallion piece, but unable to reach the Haligtree themselves, much like the headless mausoleum knights who've endlessly dedicated themselves to protecting the wandering mausoleums. There are a lot of weird things that this is doing to the Lands Between, seemingly--you can even find Godwyn's body--but for the time being, the important part is that this left Godwyn as a sort of vegetable, and Miquella had apparently hoped to do something to help his half-brother. Digging into the knights of Castle Sol, we can get a bit more of a sense of what they're up to. With Destined Death, both the body and the soul can be killed--that seems to have been the natural way of things. But Marika changed reality by altering the Elden Ring, removing Destined Death and causing souls to return to the Erdtree when they die, creating what we know of as the Golden Order. The second half of the medallion is located in Castle Sol, a stronghold in the mountains. The Grand Lift of Rold will take you to another location, but only if you have a special medallion in your possession when you use it. In the Mountaintops of the Giants, we can see what Latenna was trying to achieve and what Sir Gideon Ofnir's man, Ensha, was trying to find when he slaughtered everyone who lived there. If you invade the Haligtree to face Malenia, are you making the world of the Lands Between a better place, or a worse one? To get there, however, you have to find a secret path through the Mountaintops of the Giants.
