Product Information

Displays the direction. The location of runes that are dropped when you die and landmarks will also be displayed. With the key collected, you can head up to the Academy. Travel to the sunken village that’s connected to the south side of the Academy and fight or right your way past the enemies. The route will take you over a bridge toward a magical blue seal. Interact with the seal to be transported to the Academy – this is what the Academy Glintstone Key is for.

You can also use your weapon’s skill by pressing the [L2/LT] button when the weapon is two-handed or a shield with a skill is equipped. The larger world scale allows for freedom, promotes exploration, and introduces new and exciting mechanics, such as Horse Riding and Mounted Combat. Real-time changes are featured in Elden Ring in the form of the Day and Night cycle, as well as Dynamic Weather. These features also heavily affect gameplay, combat, and the world you are exploring. For example, in cases where you areroaming at night, both players and enemies will change in terms of aggression due to a decrease in visibility, and some unique enemies that only appear at night will come out. Given FromSoftware's previous releases and the fact that the expansionis being announced more than a year after Elden Ring's official launch, we speculate that this content is a fully-fledged expansion meant to add significant content to the game. Please Note: If you want to do Seluvis' questline, Or if you want to give his potion to Dung Eater, you should hold off on delivering the Fingerslayer Blade until this is completed. You should also be aware that a choice must be made at the end of Seluvis' questline and you'll be given the option to betray an associated character. Nothing will be gained from this attempted betrayal and you'll antagonize that character, but absolution can be found at the Church of Vows.Can we make the horse change speeds? I feel like horse games - Witcher 3, BOTW - the horse always has speed variation. I do know how to jump, assigning jump to the jump button is the only normal thing this game does.😂 Is it frustrating sometimes? Yup. Elden Ring demands, well, if not perfection, then something pretty close to it. You may have to fight a boss a dozen times, but every time is a learning opportunity. And if you’re paying attention and learning the dance moves, (almost) every attempt will be a little better than the last. You can get down from a mount using the [L3/L] button or the spectral steed whistle while riding. If you do this while moving, you’ll be able to jump off. Skills can be changed by changing ashes. The type of ashes you can carry is determined by the weapon type. Madness: If you are in a state of madness, you will go mad and lose a great deal of both HP and FP.

In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered. From here, you will just need to climb the ladder and fight your way through several caverns, across precarious edges, and up more ladders. It’s a challenging route, but one that contains bosses and useful gear. There is really one one route through, with some side hallways. You're basically always looking for a ladder or an elevator. Also, weather is finally getting nicer, less time to play, more time to do yardwork, get some exercise and fresh air. So if I can't get past the Capital, at least I tried and had some fun along the way.

Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring. Buy the crafting kit off the merchant in the church (as he tells you to in basically his first line of dialogue ) and then you can buy recipe books from him and other merchants. You will eventually find your way to the Castle Rooftops. In this area, take note there will be a place to hop down where you can loot a body and find a Stonesword Key.
