Diablo 2 Resurrected Introduces First Balance Changes In More Than A Decade

Diablo 2 Resurrected was built to be a faithful recreation of the original game, but Blizzard is also making some tweaks to the fundamentals for the first time in a decade. The latest patch, version 2.4, makes balance changes to the classic action-RPG. As detailed in the patch notes, the 2.4 version makes fairly substantial changes across all seven classes. Some, like the Amazon and Druid, got lots of buffs. Others like Assassin and Sorceress received more minor tweaks. The Barbarian, in particular, got double-digit buffs to several of its weapon masteries. Those balance changes come among several other bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments. The patch promises better pet AI, performance and settings adjustments, and more options for how you appear online and message friends. This patch also paves the way for the first ladder season to begin later this month. You can find the full patch notes below.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Xur is back in Destiny 2 this weekend with a fresh batch of Exotic weapons and armor, as well as new Legendary gear--and it's no longer bugged, making it worth checking out. With the Iron Banner raging this weekend and the Master difficulty mode for the Vow of the Disciple raid launching next week, there are plenty of good reasons to deck yourself out with the best gear you can. Here's where you can find Xur and what he's selling. Xur returns to the solar system with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET Friday, so we'll update this article as soon as he lands. Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET each Friday.

Old Destiny 2 Raids And Dungeons Will Be Worth Revisiting Next Season In A New Weekly Rotation

Bungie will place raids and dungeons released before Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expansion into a rotation in Season 17 according to the This Week At Bungie post. There will be a raid rotator and a dungeon rotator, and completing those activities will give players a Pinnacle reward. Firstly, any new raid and dungeon will give players Pinnacle rewards after every encounter, the way they do right now. Next season, that means the Witch Queen's Vow of the Disciple raid will continue to offer Pinnacle rewards for each encounter, as will a new unnamed dungeon Bungie plans to release. In addition to that seasonal rotation that highlights the newest end-game content, though, Bungie is also adding a weekly rotation for older raids and dungeons, adding incentives to return to them, as well. The developer said, "For the weekly rotation, completing the final encounter in any of the chosen raids or dungeons will award a Pinnacle drop from a Weekly Challenge."Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Best Armor Sets To Use In Elden Ring

Armor sets are one of the most vital elements to a player's build in Elden Ring. While the right weapon takes precedence over an armor set, players will still have a rough time in the Lands Between if they're not pairing their armor correctly with their overall build. There are several categories that armor sets can be broken up into. Obviously, there are sets compatible with melee and magic characters. However, there are also specific pieces of armor that simply look visually better than others or are more advantageous to acquire in the early or late game of Elden Ring. If you're looking for the best armor sets in Elden Ring, read below to see the strongest fits for each category.Table of Contents [hide] * Best Melee Armor Sets * Radahn's Set Best Melee Armor Sets We'll be kicking off this list with some armor sets tailored towards melee characters. These sets don't have to be the heaviest or provide the best protection but will offer the most advantages to players wielding a melee weapon. Radahn's Set Radahn's Set Most Elden Ring players have likely seen the famous red-haired helmet of General Starscourge Radahn by now. Radahn is a demigod located in the region of Caelid but isn't a mandatory fight for players to proceed in Elden Ring. If players choose to take on Radahn and defeat him, then they can return to the Roundtable Hold, talk to Finger Reader Enia, and buy Radahn's full armor set.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Dead Space Remake Changes Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle Based On Fan Feedback

Last month, Motive Studios held a developer stream for its upcoming Dead Space remake, focusing on the audio design for the updated version of the game. Fans had some issues with the sound effects on some of Isaac Clarke's most iconic weapons--specifically the plasma cutter and pulse rifle--and now Motive has taken note and made changes.

Back 4 Blood Ridden Hives Tips

In the Back 4 Blood Ridden Hives DLC, you'll encounter new threats in new levels all while reaping the game's best rewards to date, but only if you can make it out of the titular warrens of woe alive. For that, you can use our Ridden Hive tips, because venturing into a hive only to wind up dead won't net you much of anything in terms of tangible progress. Here are some crucial tips for finding, clearing, and surviving Ridden Hives in Back 4 Blood. Bring Heng on all of your missions To start the Back 4 Blood DLC, you'll need to find randomly-spawning Ridden Hives all around the game's world, but the nature of them means you may walk right past one without knowing it was nearby. To fix this problem, make sure someone in your group is playing as Heng, one of two new Cleaners who comes with the DLC. His passive skill allows him to automatically detect Ridden Hives when they're nearby, guaranteeing that you'll never miss one in your vicinity. Combine Skull Totems to transport them more easily Once you've entered a Ridden Hive, the objective is to collect and escape with Skull Totems. These will be left around the junction-like hives in groups of three per level, and, if you're a horde shooter OG, you'll see they act a bit like the Gnome Chompski figure back from the Left 4 Dead 2 days. Whoever carries the Skull Totem can't swap to another weapon or item without also dropping the totem. That would be a real mess, except in this case, Skull Totems are also great bludgeoning weapons.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried Dies At 67

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried has died at the age of 67, according to an official statement shared by his family through his Twitter account. He died "after a long illness," the specifics of which were not shared. "We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried," read the statement. "In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend, and father to his two young children.

Where To Find Jetpacks In Fortnite

Jetpacks are back in Fortnite. Epic vaulted this unique transportation item way back at the end of Chapter 1. Since then, jetpacks have remained in the vault, waiting for a chance to be unvaulted. That chance is here in Chapter 3, and players can now find and use jetpacks in Fortnite. However, like with most new items, the location of the jetpacks is not readily apparent in Season 2. Luckily, players are able to find them at specific spots on the map. Here's where to find jetpacks in Fortnite Where to get a jetpack in Fortnite As of right now in Season 2, jetpacks are only found on the IO airships floating above the island. There are roughly five airships locations currently on the map, which players can either land on from the Battle Bus or take its attached ascenders or ziplines on the ground. Currently, in Season 2, the IO airships are located above the following POIs: * Condo Canyon * Rocky Reels * Tilted Towers * Command Cavern * Coney Crossroads Keep in mind that the location of these airship blimps will vary each week as the war effort moves forces around the island. Once players have selected a location to drop, they can land on (or zip up to) the walkways of the airship and then use the door to access the inside of it. In the rooms of the airship, a jetpack will be mounted on the wall on the inside of the entrance door. Interact with the jetpack to add it to your inventory.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Elden Ring - How To Beat The Elden Beast

You've finally taken down Radagon. Congratulations! Defeating him is no easy feat. Unfortunately, his fight--which could easy stand alone as one of the toughest encounters in Elden Ring on its own--is really just phase one. Now it's time for phase two. Meet: The Elden Beast, servant to the Greater Will and the true form of the Elden Ring itself. Whereas Radagon is a test of timing and reflex, the Elden Beast is a test of endurance. With one of the most massive health bars in From Software history, it can feel like there's no end in sight, and knowing that you have to beat Radagon all over again just to get back to the arena can lead to particularly demoralizing defeats. But fear not! Once you learn the most dangerous attacks to look out for--and how to avoid them--you'll come out victorious in no time. What to know before going in Basically all the advice for preparing for the Radagon fight remains true for the Elden Beast. You'll want to be at a high level (somewhere in the 150 range to be safe), with at least 40 points invested into Vigor. Get your weapon leveled up as much as possible to maximize damage and shorten the duration of the encounter--the less time you spend fighting, the fewer chances there will be to get caught in one of its devastating attacks.Continue Reading at GameSpot

New HyperX Gaming Headset Boasts 300 Hours Of Battery Life

New gaming headsets from popular brands release so often that it's often hard for them to stand out in any meaningful way. HyperX's latest headset is quite literally a game-changer in one specific way; the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, the latest iteration of the heralded gaming accessory company's signature line, boasts up to 300 hours of battery life. Yes, you read that right. Most high-end wireless headsets offer anywhere from 20 to 40 hours of juice between charges. Somehow, the Cloud Alpha Wireless features roughly 10 times the battery life of other leading headsets. See at HyperX It's worth noting that, like all battery life figures, this is an "up to" figure. Settings such as volume level can of course affect the in-practice battery life. That said, I tested the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless over the past couple of weeks and I've yet to charge it. While I didn't try to game for 300 hours, I did leave the headset on--playing audio from a game menu--to put the battery to the test. After roughly 200 hours of playback, the headset still had 20 percent of juice according to HyperX's proprietary software. That's mighty impressive.HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless The Cloud Alpha Wireless is listed as compatible with PC and PlayStation (both PS5 and PS4). Since it uses a 2.4Ghz dongle, you can also connect it wirelessly to Nintendo Switch. One downside is that the headset doesn't have Bluetooth and you can't use a wired connection since it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Sega's Super Game Project Involves Multiple Games, May Include NFTs

Sega has revealed more details on its 'Super Game' project, which consists of multiple games and the potential incorporation of NFT and cloud technologies. In an interview on Sega Japan’s recruitment website which was translated by VGC, executive VP Shuji Utsumi explained the company's new strategy. "Sega offers a wide range of game content, including hardware and arcade content, which is made possible by its diverse range of technologies," Utsumi said. "We have defined 'Super Game' as the development of AAA titles that cross over Sega's comprehensive range of technologies, and we will aim to achieve this in our five-year plan." According to Utsumi, several titles are being developed within the Super Game framework and each one is being designed to "go beyond" the traditional framework of games. For a Sega title to meet the criteria of a Super Game, it will have to be multiplatform, have a simultaneous worldwide release, feature global multi-language development, and have a AAA scope to its design.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Nintendo Switch Sports Has The Wholesome Wii Sports Thrills I've Missed

16 years ago, Wii Sports changed how people interact with games and who those people are. Its release was a pivotal point in gaming history and culture when everyone and their mother (often quite literally) was playing it. Wii Sports captured an unadulterated sense of fun that was seldom seen in games at the time that appealed to such a broad demographic. Nintendo Switch Sports, a successor of sorts, attempts to recapture the same feeling of standing in a room and brazenly swinging around your limbs to act out a sport while you compete with friends and family. During my hands-on time with Nintendo Switch Sports, I consistently lost at Volleyball but managed to wreck my opponent at Badminton, and regardless of my success, I had gleeful fun. At one point during my 45 minutes of hands-on time with the game, I stood in a room with two Nintendo representatives as we bowled together in the all-new Simultaneous Mode. These people were complete strangers to me, but in that moment, I laughed with them, teased them when they didn't pick up a spare, and cheered when they got a strike--it was an absolute blast. There was a moment when all three of us got a strike at the same time, sending us into a collective roar, even though we were still competing with one another. This is the kind of joy that Wii Sports brought to living rooms around the world, and what Nintendo Switch Sports encapsulates once more. Nintendo Switch Sports already feels like a complete package, which is a contrast to the original Wii Sports that, although very fun, felt more like a proof of concept for the Wii's motion controller than a full-fledged product. Nintendo Switch Sports iterates on what came before by building on Wii Sports and its successor, Wii Sports Resorts. This is immediately apparent in the game's character models, which are more akin to Splatoon's Inklings and their fashionable fits than the rudimentary design of Miis. Don't worry though, the iconic Mii's are still available to use as your avatar. In fact, Nintendo Switch Sports as a whole, from its setting to the character models of those taking part, shares a striking resemblance to Splatoon's stylized aesthetic. And, even as a Wii Sports purist, I'm cool with it.Continue Reading at GameSpot

This is a city for light and darkness, dreams and distortion, the remembered and the forgotten--Scala ad Caelum, the Missing-Link.

Three New Official Atari 2600 Cartridges Are Coming This May

Your Atari 2600 probably hasn't gotten much use in recent... decades, but that could change very soon. Via its Atari XP initiative, Atari is releasing three new cartridges for the system this May, complete with an entirely new physical design and unique numbering for collectors. One of these games is the successor to an absolute classic, and in the future, a fourth particularly legendary Atari game is getting the treatment, as well. Shipping this May, the three Atari 2600 games coming via Atari XP are Yars' Return, Saboteur, and Aquaventure. In contrast to the basic labeling of original-era 2600 games, these limited-edition versions have detailed illustrations on the label. Yars' Return, for instance, shows a big creature front-and-center with the environment in the background. None of these games got releases on the original 2600, though Saboteur was designed by Yars' Revenge (and ET) creator Howard Scott Warshaw and had been planned for it. Yars' Return did not feature his involvement, nor did Aquaventure. Yars' Return limited-edition cartridgeGallery One more game is planned for the program at a later date: Adventure. The legendary game did release on the Atari 2600, so we may get more popular games from the console in the future. Continue Reading at GameSpot

Iron Banter: This Week In Destiny 2 - Grappling With Gambit

Just about every week brings something new to Destiny 2, whether it's story beats, new activities, or interesting new combinations of elements that let players devastate each other in the Crucible. Iron Banter is our weekly look at what's going on in the world of Destiny and a rundown of what's drawing our attention across the solar system. The launch of The Witch Queen also saw Bungie making a series of adjustments to Gambit, a mode the studio had released way back with the Forsaken expansion. I've always found Gambit to be a really interesting addition to Destiny 2, and one of the things most unique about the game. It's a Destiny take on what might be a horde mode in other games, where you take on waves of enemies, but it's structured to be more strategic. Gambit is a mode I've always really liked--at least, on paper. I've leaned into Gambit a little more with the recent addition of the new Labs feature, which makes some slight tweaks to the formula, seemingly both to add some variety and to gather player data for Bungie to make greater changes down the line. And I find I'm still torn on it. I like Gambit as an idea, but it still isn't quite as compelling as I wish it was.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The audio is stellar, and it even boasts the PS5's 3D audio technology. The 7P+ connects wirelessly through a lossless 2.4Ghz USB-C dongle. It can also be used wirelessly with the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC. The 7P+ is also the comfiest headset on this list thanks to ultra-soft ear cushions and a great headband design that includes an elastic band for added comfort. The attached stealth microphone has a slide-out compartment that keeps it tucked away when not in use. In addition to being a great all-around headset from a technical perspective, the 7P+ has stylish look that matches the PS5. See at Amazon Best PS5 gaming headset - runner-up Razer BlackShark V2 Pro The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is one of the most comfortable gaming headsets out there, and it delivers excellent audio quality with its wireless connection. It features the same Hyperspeed wireless tech that Razer uses in its keyboards and mice, providing a low latency connection that works like a charm. Paired with the THX Spatial Audio app, it also makes for a great PC gaming headset. It's available in a number of configurations, including two wired versions. While the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is more expensive than the Pulse 3D headset, it makes up for that in superior audio quality, extreme comfortability, and an excellent microphone. See at Amazon Best PS5 features Razer Kaira Pro In terms of gaming headsets that make great use of the PS5's features, you can't beat the Razer Kaira Pro. One of the hallmark new features on the PS5 is the haptic feedback from the DualSense controller. The Razer Kaira Pro adapts haptics for your ears via Razer's HyperSense technology. Though it may sound strange at first, the Kaira Pro offers an inventive and immersive experience that stands out. The 50mm drivers produce rich sounds that put the Kaira Pro near the top of the class in terms of audio quality, and the detachable microphone makes voice chat crisp and clear. The Kaira Pro is a high-end headset that also looks the part thanks to its white and black design that matches the PS5. It's equipped with Chroma RGB lighting effects that can be tinkered with using a mobile app. Another perk of the Kaira Pro is that it connects wirelessly to PS5 via a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle while also boasting Bluetooth. That means you can use the Kaira Pro as headphones for all Bluetooth-enabled devices, making it a versatile pick that is best on PS5 but great all around. See at Amazon Excellent audio at a great price Sony Pulse 3D The Pulse 3D headset is Sony's official gaming headset for the PS5, and while its plastic frame makes it look and feel somewhat flimsy, it's actually a great budget option. Its audio quality is quite good, pushed even further with Sony's 3D audio technology. Its sleek design also means you won't have a big mic boom in front of your face when chatting with friends. However, those with larger ears may not find the Pulse to be the most comfortable headset. If you want to learn more, check out our Pulse 3D headset review.

Idris Elba Says Cats Was "An Incredible Experience, Being A Feline"

Idris Elba might be the most famous person to ever play two anthropomorphic animals. He spoke about playing an echidna (in Sonic the Hedgehog 2) and a cat (in Cats) in a new interview with The New York Times to promote the new Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie that comes to US cinemas today, April 8. Elba played Macavity the cat in 2019's poorly received Cats film from director Tom Hooper. Elba didn't have anything bad to say about that film but said he's looking forward to never playing a mysterious CG cat again. "From a performance perspective, it is an incredible experience, being a feline. That's something I've experienced and never have to again," Elba said. "That box has been checked." As for playing Knuckles the echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Elba said he landed the role based in part from his experience with voiceover roles in animated films he's done before like Zootopia and Finding Dory. "When my agent called with this, he didn't even get to finish his sentence. I was like, yes, absolutely," Elba said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Elden Ring: Where To Get The Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom Talisman

You have plenty of choices for what type of character build you'd like to make in Elden Ring, but if you're opting to invest heavily in weapons like katanas, whips, or spears, you'll certainly want to raise your Dexterity as much as possible.

Dying Light 2 Update Will Add A New Game Plus Mode

Dying Light 2's city of Villedor is a treat for players to run around in, but once the game's main story is over, it puts players right back in, as if nothing happened. For some, that's a bit jarring, which may be why developer Techland is implementing, among other things, a New Game Plus mode in the game's next update. Announced via a post on Twitter, Techland didn't mince any words, saying that Dying Light 2's 1.3 update would be "one of the biggest patches we've released so far." Along with a New Game Plus mode, Dying Light 2's upcoming patch will include "many fixes for both multi and single-player mode." Survivors, Our team is working hard on patch 3 for DL2 Stay Human. It will be one of the biggest patches we've released so far. Apart from many fixes for both multi and single-player mode, it will also introduce a New Game+ mode, giving you more reasons to re-visit The City.(1/2) — Dying Light (@DyingLightGame) April 5, 2022 Previous patches have partially addressed Dying Light 2's issues for both multiplayer and single-player. A fix for the game that was implemented in February resolved a Death Loop bug that would lock players in a never-ending cycle of spawning and dying. Another patch, implemented in March, remedied some of the game's multiplayer stability issues, as well as instances of enemies and players falling straight through the ground.Continue Reading at GameSpot

One Of The Coolest Games Of The Year So Far Is On Sale

OlliOlli World just launched in February, but several big discounts are already available for the well-reviewed game. Head over to the Switch eShop before March 27, and you'll find the game on sale for just $24, down from $30. While the game feels right at home on Switch, OlliOlli World is also on sale for PS5/PS4 and PC, which is seeing the largest discount. OlliOlli World $21+ (was $30) In addition to the eShop discount, you can swing over to the PlayStation Store and grab the skateboarding game for $23--a discount that runs until March 24. PC players can get a Steam key at Green Man Gaming for just $21. The PC version unsurprisingly requires a controller, but you have the added freedom of picking your favorite gamepad. OlliOlli World takes the fast-paced platforming the series is known for and throws you into the world of Radlandia. Here, you'll have the option to customize a character as you see fit before taking on dozens of challenges and mastering more than 100 moves. It’s a deceptively difficult title, although both fans of the series and newcomers alike will find plenty to love about its quirky skating paradise. Switch eShop Green Man Gaming PlayStation Store Our OlliOlli World review gave the fun title a 9/10, giving particular note to its "chill atmosphere" that's easy to get lost in for hours. "Its controls feel great, its art style is gorgeous, and its characters are light and fun," critic Phil Hornshaw said. "It's a game that will push you to be the most ridiculously skilled skater you can be, or just let you spend some time in its world for a bit. Either way, it's easy for hours to evaporate as you rattle off tricks and snag sick grinds. That seems like a perfect conception of skateboarding to me."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Daniel Radcliffe Doesn't Want To Do Any More Harry Potter Right Now

Daniel Radcliffe appeared in the HBO Max Harry Potter reunion special, but he doesn't want to come back to the Harry Potter series in an acting capacity, at least not right now. Speaking to The New York Times, Radcliffe said he had fun appearing in the HBO Max special because the magical series is no longer a part of his daily life. He's less interested right now in acting in a new Harry Potter production, but he might be open to the idea in a couple more decades. Harry Potter movie director Chris Columbus, who directed Radcliffe in the first two Harry Potter movies, has said he wants Radcliffe to come back for a potential film version of the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Radcliffe said he has a "never-say-never" attitude about coming back to the Harry Potter series in a more official capacity some day, but right now, he's happy to stay on the sidelines and pursue other projects, like his Weird Al movie with Funny or Die.Continue Reading at GameSpot

How The Tables Turn: We Can Finally Eat Kirby

Kirby has been ingesting creatures for decades, so it's about time that he becomes the snack. Amazon is currently taking preorders on a Kirby-themed silicone mold. The mold has 12 different Kirby expressions that will imprint on whichever delicious treats you decide to make. This is an officially licensed product, so rest assured that Nintendo has graciously allowed Kirby to be devoured by fans across the world. Kirby Silicone Mold Tray $22 Nintendo even provided some suggestions for how to prepare Kirby for snack time. The Amazon listing suggests baking chocolates, making jellies, and even freezing Kirby into ice so you can enjoy him on the rocks. On a serious note, this tray is pretty small (7.67 x 5.5 inches), so each Kirby snack will be bite-sized. You might not really be able to savor the flavor, which feels appropriate considering Kirby's own eating habits. See at Amazon Kirby's silicone mold costs $22 and releases on April 24. I have to admit that sounds rather pricey for a small tray like this, but I guess Kirby is a delicacy. In other news, Kirby returns for another adventure next week on Nintendo Switch. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first 3D platformer in series history. In addition to Kirby's familiar copy abilities, the little dude can also wrap himself around objects such as cars and traffic cones.

Hogwarts Legacy Releases This Holiday, State Of Play Reveals Extensive Gameplay

We got our first detailed look at Hogwarts Legacy during a Sony State of Play presentation. The 20-minute presentation showed off how you'll create your student, explore the grounds of Hogwarts, participate in classes, and do combat against enemies. You begin the game as a new student at Hogwarts, starting as a 5th-year student and behind your classmates' skill level. You'll get sorted into one of the four iconic houses, meet up with classmates, attend various types of classes, and even practice your dueling skills. As the presentation noted, this takes place in the 1800s, so you won't see the familiar professors from the Harry Potter films. There are some cameos of familiar characters, though, like Nearly Headless Nick. As you explore the castle you can solve puzzles to discover dungeons and passages, and you'll need to grow plants and brew potions in your free time. The area around Hogwarts is particularly dangerous, and meant to test your skills.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Watch GTA 5 Player Jump Over Fort Zancudo In New, Faster Car From PS5/Xbox Series X|S

Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online are out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and one of the new additions with the port are faster, more powerful cars. One player used the newly added Karin S95 to perform a jump that was previously known to be very difficult or impossible to pull off. Watch as Reddit's Successful-Young8939 narrowly avoids cars on the highway to get enough speed to launch directly over the military base of Fort Zancudo. The airspace is restricted, so the player immediately gets a four-star wanted level, but that's not really what matters here. Successful-Young8939 lives up their username and does indeed successfully hit the ramp with enough speed to fly through the air over the base. The player just barely makes it, hitting the top of the fence on the other side but safely landing all the same. Well done.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Elden Ring Save Scum: When To Save So You Can Unlock All Endings

If you want to experience every single ending in Elden Ring or get all of the achievements without having to play through the game again, there is an excellent point right towards the end of the game where you can set up your save game. This spot is at the very end of the game and you will need to make sure you do the majority of steps to see all of the endings prior to doing this. Here's what you need to do. Note: Elden Ring spoilers ahead. Advance every ending as far as possible One of the important things to do is make sure you have progressed every single ending as far as possible, without achieving any of the endings or locking yourself out of any of them. The majority of the endings you can do every step short of completing the game without issue, but the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending has a soft point of no return so you need to make sure you don't advance that one too far. You can read our Elden Ring all endings guide for the nitty gritty details, but below I am going to list the final step you should take for each ending, prior to finishing the game. Elden Lord, Age of Fracture * This is the default ending of the game, so no extra steps are required to see this ending. Elden Lord, Age of the Duskborn * Complete Fia's questline and acquire the Rune of the Death-Prince. Elden Lord, Age of Despair * Complete the Dung Eater questline and acquire the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. Elden Lord, Age of Order * Complete the Brother Corhyn and Goldmask questline and acquire the Rune of Perfect Order. Age of the Stars * Complete Ranni the Witch's questline. There is no required item for this ending. Lord of the Frenzied Flame Do not enter the Frenzied Flame door until you are ready to see that ending. * Get to the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace just outside the Frenzied Flame door. Do not enter the door. * You can reverse this ending if you do enter the door, but you are adding a bunch of unnecessary work for yourself. When to save scum in Elden Ring The best place to save scum is directly at the end of the game. After beating the final boss of the game, you will be placed near Marika and a Site of Grace. Since there is a Site of Grace here, you can leave and come back before picking an ending. You will want to set up the save they are reverting to, at this Site of Grace. If you are doing this to get all of the achievements, you will only need to see one Elden Lord ending, the Age of Stars ending, and the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending.Continue Reading at GameSpot
