In Elden Ring Nightreign, every bit of damage you can cause to enemies is a step closer to defeating a boss. The two-hand technique is a classic but effective method to achieve this goal. When you hold a weapon with both hands, you might feel more vulnerable to enemies’ attacks, since you can’t use a shield. Although this is subjective, depending a lot on your playstyle (and your class), it’s...

Stonesword Keys are special items in Elden Ring Nightreign that allow you to open Evergaol, opening up one of the best rune farming locations in the game. Farming runes is a crucial part of the gameplay loop in this game, but some locations are better than others.

Nothing makes you feel as unstoppable in Elden Ring Nightreign as having a legendary weapon. Finding the weapon that best suits not only your class but also your playstyle is a real challenge, though. When you’re out of luck, the best option is to look for some smithing stones and upgrade your initial weapon. However, you can only upgrade weapons so far. The only way for you to ascend it...

Elden Ring Nightreign is here, and as I write this there are nearly 300,000 players roaming Limveld in pursuit of statistically-unlikely success in FromSoft's roguelike remix. The launch hasn't been without criticisms, many of which we shared in our Nightreign review, but that apparently hasn't slowed the influx of newly-christened Nightfarers.In a tweet from the official Elden Ring X account, Bandai Namco announced that two million people have played Elden...

OK, I know you just read that headline, but let me admit first off that I don’t actually think Elden Ring is that hard — not if you take it slow and steady, which the game’s design not only allows but encourages. At every step of the way in Elden Ring, you can decide exactly how you want to play it. It’s very customizable and it rewards patience. Elden Ring...
