A good backup for when there are multiple enemies or if the enemy is too large to be staggered with Lion's Claw is Ash of War: Flame of the Redmanes . This Ash of War can be obtained just outside of Fort Gael ; players can grab it from an invisible beetle on their way to obtaining Lion's Claw.

Now, the thing about Level 1 runs is that after Limgrave, most enemies will kill the players in just one hit anyway. So, players might as well pick the more dangerous option of the talismans. Still, it can be tedious finding ways to lower HP, so for people who can't be bothered, then the Ritual Sword Talisman is a good alternative.

Black Knife Tiche Ashes is the better option here, though it might take a while and a long questline before players get to unlock her. Tiche, for starters, can apply a debuff to her targets which lowers their maximum HP.

It's pretty tanky once players have upgraded the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes summon to max. This allows players to avoid getting hit or sneak in some tactical Lion's Claws against fast bosses like Malenia. As an added bonus, the Jellyfish deals poison damage to enemies.

Further Persona ports (like 5 Royal and 3 Portable ) were major highlights in Nintendo's recent Direct , and 4 Golden is an affordable way for PC players new to the series to test the waters now. Like with most of Atlus' games in the series, Persona 4 Golden was praised for its investing storytelling and characters, irresistible sense of style, as well as engaging use of turn-based combat thanks to the titular Persona sys

He took Malenia under his tutelage, where she eventually become a swordmaster unparalleled. After this, she put her swordsmanship to practice to protect Miquella and the new order he sought to usher

Updated August 18, 2024, by Hamza Haq: With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, RL1 runs have taken on a new meaning. A whole new area to explore means new challenges to overcome and new items to factor in. The DLC adds an entire game’s worth of items on top of the already massive list in the base SLG Game Resource management, upending the status quo entirely. Much of this build remains the same as the Shadow Realm only unlocks very late in the game. However, some additions have been made to keep things up to date.

Ranni the Witch has also had her fair share or fan-made cosplays. In much of the same way Malenia is adored, Ranni is too, but she possesses more of a mysterious side that intrigues players rather than a fierce warrior-like persona. Ranni was one of the first Elden Ring characters to get attention online, and many theories about exactly who she was and what kind of role she played in the grand story were passed around. It's no surprise that she is a fan favorite, and even the famed cosplayer, Jessica Nigri , showed her love for the character on Twitter by turning heads with an Elden Ring Ranni cosplay . Since then, many fans have created their own Ranni cosplay, but Jessica's remains the most well-known, and it might be the costume that has the most traction out of any ot

In the decaying wilderness of Elden Ring 's Caelid region, players can encounter an ailing red-haired woman named Millicent , suffering and afflicted by a divine contagion called the Scarlet Rot. By giving her an Unalloyed Gold Needle (located in the swamps of Caelid) she implants in her own body, Millicent can drive Elden Ring 's Caelid-centric Scarlet Rot infection into remission, regaining strength and lucidity. Invigorated and newly motivated, Millicent embarks on a quest to discover her origin - a quest that if completed will generate several useful summon signs in the mid-to-late game areas of Elden Ri

Another Malenia cosplay costume - if it can be considered that - came somewhat unexpectedly, but is now a classic nonetheless. During the initial first month after the game launched, players couldn't quit talking online about how much they'd been enjoying the game, so George R.R. Martin created an Elden Ring cosplay of his own, wearing Malenia's famous winged helmet, although it didn't fit him. At that moment, many players hadn't even faced off against the goddess yet because the game was still fledgling, but even Martin knew how players had marveled over her armor that was shown in trailers leading up to the lau

When it comes to JRPGs, Square Enix's Final Fantasy franchise is a titan of the industry, becoming synonymous with the subgenre in the process. The publisher recently finished releasing the last of the games in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, and are perhaps some of the easiest picks for longtime fans looking for a dose of 16-bit-era nostalgia and newcomers with even a cursory interest in getting into the ser

Kitty-Bit Games & Cosplay on Twitter also added to the Malenia cosplay on Twitter by posting photos of a near identical Let Me Solo Her costume creation. Let Me Solo Her has become a massive star within the Elden Ring community due to the story behind the fan-made character. The creator initially had trouble defeating Malenia - as most do during their first playthrough - but after finally defeating her, began using co-op to help others do the same. At this point, Let Me Solo Her is essentially now part of the game, and Bandai Namco sent a real sword to the creator just to show its appreciation for the fan who started it
