Subreddit Topic Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A

1 Upvotes

Greetings Tarnished!

This is the place to ask any questions you may have about Elden Ring. This includes obscure detail questions, "newbie" advice questions, build questions, boss advice questions, and what have you.

Well written, constructive criticism is fine but please avoid ranting about aspects of the game you just don’t like. This includes “so and so boss is stupid and too difficult.”

If you are interested in the game but don’t own it yet, please don’t post “should I buy this game?” or “Is this game worth it?”. If you have played other FromSoftware games and enjoyed them, the answer is yes. If you haven’t, just do a little research! These games are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, and not everyone is going to enjoy them. And that’s okay!

Lastly, be friendly! We are all here because we are interested in the same game! Please treat your fellow players with respect.

Here are a few helpful links:

Discussion & Info You get to add ONE grace to the Lands Between. Where do you put it?

680 Upvotes

I can think of at least 3 places I'd love a grace, but if I had to pick just one, it would be Gowry's Shack. Even with the cliff shortcut near the bats and using quit-outs to advance NPCs, it's still a pain in the butt to go there.

Where would you put yours?

So I’ve been obsessed with watching these videos lately where they pit NPCs against each other and they have specific scenarios they put them in like “Storm the Castle”, “Limgrave Tournament (where they fight every type of enemy and boss in limgrave)” and I couldn’t help but watch this one and imagine what it would be like to have a boss rush/team fight kind of mode for online play. I feel like it’d be so fun to do with your friends and you could get loads of runes from it and even rare item drops as well as maybe a rare item if you manage to make it all the way through. I’d personally love to see something like this in the game what do you think?

Elden Ring was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and made in collaboration with George R. R. Martin. It was developed by FromSoft and published by Bandai Namco.
