Elden Ring's Biggest Nerfs Since Launch

The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War "Transient Moonlight," which essentially is the "Unsheathe" Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it's available soon after choosing a class and starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his kn

However, not all players want a setting to be bleak all the time. There are some light and strange moments, like with the Merchant Kalé. However, for some gamers and modders, this isn't enough and so they've created some truly funny and bizarre mods that absolutely break the g

Minecraft is also a game about exploring a desolate wasteland. However, the Minecraft Diamond Sword mod really shows how different the art styles are and the blocky blue weapon looks so out of place that one can't help but laugh. It's still powerful to wield though, making it one of the funniest mods in the g

As far as jack-of-all-trades staffs in Elden Ring go, the Carian Regal Scepter might be the best of the bunch. As one might expect from such a weapon, it has a daunting Intelligence requirement of 60, but the payoff is arguably worth the trou

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the plot of Elden Ring. _ FromSoftware's collection of notoriously challenging action RPG titles is known for its tremendously detailed worlds and beyond-epic boss battles. Yet, from _Dark Souls ' Solaire of Astora to Bloodborne 's Eileen the Crow, NPCs and their associated questlines have driven a not-insignificant amount of interest in the so-called Soulsborne s

If the Crucible is the primal energy of the Erdtree and where all life once blended together, then it has to contain an incredibly large amount of power. This connection also shows the Erdtree's parasitic nature because it needs to feed off of the energy of the Crucible, unable to survive without an external source of energy. Since the Crucible is where life blends together, it can be assumed that the second source of energy for the Erdtree is the souls of the dead who will tell the Tarnished that they are waiting to return to the Erdtree. The reach of the Erdtree's roots allow it to gather those souls easily, and allows it to spread the Greater Will's Grace through the Lands Between . Regardless of how the energy is used, it's gathered through parasitic me

It boosts the power of full moon sorceries by default, though, given the scarcity of such abilities, the excellent Intelligence scaling damage is more than enough. The Carian Regal Scepter's eventual S scaling is top-tier, and it's obtained by defeating Rennala at Raya Lucaria and exchanging her Remembra

Kenneth Haight can be found in easter Limgrave preaching atop a ruin about how he, not Godrick, is the rightful ruler of Limgrave. Much like the player, Kenneth has a very low opinion of Godrick and refers to him as a "jumped up country bumpk

Both luckily and unluckily for players, Elden Ring 's patches have largely served to buff rather than nerf. This protects the health of the game by allowing new strategies to arise while avoiding taking away anything from the Elden Ring that players may have enjoyed. However, in practice, this has resulted to the rise of the Rivers of Blood katana meta in Elden Ring , which has left other approaches to the game in the d

In reality, Boc is secretly hoping to receive affirmation from the player. Offering him the Golden Needle, a piece of demigod armor to alter, and using the "you're beautiful" Prattling Pete in front of him affords him the praise he's so long desired. While he's not among the most useful characters in Elden Ring , he's one of a very small number of Elden Ring NPCs who aren't predestined for a terrible f

Between the two trees, the Erdtree is the true parasite. This fits the ongoing theme in Elden Ring that the Greater Will, despite being presented as a benevolent Outer God at first, is more vicious and controlling than it tries to make others believe. Because of the Greater Will's true nature, it isn't a surprise that Elden Ring's Age of Stars ending is the favorite among players since Ranni begins a new order of her own that won't directly interfere with the lives of those in the Lands Between in the way the Golden Order does. While there's enough information to deem the Erdtree as a parasite, the lack of information about the Greater Will makes its intentions unclear. The purpose of creating a parasitic tree that uses the power of the Crucible and the dead will only be revealed if FromSoftware adds DLC or creates other future content through an expansion or sequel for **Elden Ring
