Elden Ring: Tips for surviving in the Lands Between

Elden Ring is set to release for PC (via Steam), PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 25, 2022. Today we are going to offer you some hints for helping you in this new adventure.

Rise up, Tarnished! Your new adventure is about to start, but there are a few things that you have to keep in mind before going into the Lands Between. Don’t let the despair and the fatigue push you down. So, take your favorite weapons, prepare your spells, and ride that magic horse that is going to bring you to the heights! Literally. This is Elder Ring, and we at BreezyScroll are going to help you deal with this new challenge. FromSoftware, creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has developed this game.

Elder Ring: The Lands Between are waiting

Elden Ring is a single-player adventure game that takes place in a fantasy open world called the Lands Between. Players will take the role of a Tarnished, a character that has the task of finding the power of the Elder Ring and become, as a result, the Elden Lord. To accomplish this mission, it will be necessary to travel around Lands Between, exploring each corner, and defeating the powerful bosses that will appear in our path.

The story comes from Hidetaka Miyazaki, lead of FromSoftware. George R.R. Martin, the writer of A Song of Ice and Fire, has helped in this creative process. Therefore, you can expect a plot full of forces fighting each other. Queen Marika the Eternal is the governor of this land. Her sons claimed “the shards of the Elden Ring” which are the Great Runes. This fact unchained a war named The Shattering, which made that the Greater Will abandon these lands.

Become the next Elden Lord in Elden Ring

The Grace of Gold will guide the Tarnished and will help them to find the Elden Ring. The adventure won’t be easy, so today we are going to offer you a few useful tips in order to make it as easy… as it’s possible. Are you ready, Tarnished?

Have patience

One of the “hot topics” in the video game industry nowadays is the difficulty of some video games. FromSoftware, developers of Dark Souls or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, are kind of experts making difficult games. The gameplay is hard, and you have to think twice before taking certain actions. Don’t feel frustrated if you die ten times in the first area. It’s perfectly normal. The game is designed to make you feel like that. You are not alone. There is no difficulty selection because all of us are the same against this challenge.

“We don’t want to include a difficulty selection because we want to bring everyone to the same level of discussion and the same level of enjoyment,” Miyazaki said (via Twinfinite). “So we want everyone… to first face that challenge and to overcome it in some way that suits them as a player.”

This is a learning process

As we said, you are going to die. That’s for sure. The point is that the more you learn, the less you will die. Elder Ring will be more accessible for players that feel they need a hand to overcome the dangers. For example, you can summon spirits to help you. In fact, you can even complete the game avoiding certain boss fights. However, you still have to pay attention to the environment and the enemies’ movements.

Take note of the environment, and how is the enemy’s behavior. Check if they move fast or if their heavy armor makes them move slowly; check the distance, the type of weapon they are using, and what kind of attacks they do. In this game, you can also approach the enemies using stealth techniques, which also can guarantee you success.

Crafting time!

Since the difficulty is hard, you have to take advantage of everything that is within your reach. As a novelty, in Elder Ring, you’ll be able to craft items. Using materials, you can create certain objects that will make your path easier! Seriously, they can save your life at the most appropriate time.

Explore everything

In addition to finding resources, you will also discover the famous shortcuts that we can also find in other FromSoftware’s games. These shortcuts can save some time for you and allow you to dodge enemies in order to reach your next goal quickly. In Elder Ring, you will be guided by the grace of gold, a trail that will be your personal pathfinder. This makes exploration easier since you know beforehand what is the path you have to follow… so you can try the rest of them!

Be exactly who you want to be

Choose a character class that fits into your own game style. Do you prefer to attack with spells? Keeping the distance? Like you wear the clothes that you like most, you have to pick up the class and the role that fits more with your way to play.
