Dark Souls’ industry impact has been huge. So much so that everyone from the Indie company to the big companies that make AAA games has been affected by this trend in some way or wanted to be a part of the movement and benefit from it. Once upon a time, our front, our back, our right, our left, in short, everywhere were filled with games that tried to somehow feed the Souls-like game genre. This alone proves how much of an impact the Dark Souls series has had on the game industry.
After Software Dark Souls, although it has signed games that use souls-like in different genres such as Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the biggest bomb that has hit the market so far is probably on February 25, 2022. Elden Ring took its place. Although Elden Ring looks like a souls-like game from the outside, it has many differences when you go inside. For this reason, we decided to talk about interesting information about Elden Ring in this article.
Interesting information about Elden Ring:

Game tutorial (tutorial) hidden
This information alone will be enough for Elden Ring to receive the most different department design award directly. But this is a fact. If you go to the place where you need to progress within the logic frame at the beginning of the game, you directly skip the tutorial part of the game. If you want to learn the basics of fighting mechanics, stealth and pretty much everything the game has to offer, all you have to do is jump off a cliff in a strange way. Before logging into The Lands Between, be sure to find out what lies beneath the black hole. From Software is a truly amazing company.
Excerpts from old games
Fans of the Souls series enjoy references to old games. These specific references have appeared in all soul games except Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The first of these is Patches. Patches: a character loved in previous souls games and reappearing in Elden Ring. If you defeat Patches in an on-demand battle and spare his life, you can gain access to the goods Patches sells as a reward. So our friend takes his place as an NPC. In addition, an extra story related to Patches will be opened in the future. As we mentioned, Moonlight Greatsword is a weapon in all souls games except Sekiro. Its inclusion as Dark Moon Greatsword in Elden Ring was a nice gesture to fans from developer company From Software.
The sword inspired by the Berserk manga
Elden Ring features the sword of Guts, the main character of Kentaro Miura in the Berserk manga, which is now venerated. Elden Ring’s designer and director, Hideta Miyazaki, is a fan of the Berserk manga and she doesn’t hide it. It’s inspired by Berserk in previous souls games, and Hideta Miyazaki seems to have used the same inspiration for Elden Ring. This sword, called Dragonslayer Sword, is very similar to the main character Guts’ sword. The location of the sword seems like a graveyard full of small swords, which makes things a little emotional.
George RR Martin (author of Game of Thrones) Joins Elden Ring
Anyone more or less familiar with the TV series has named Game of Thrones somehow heard. George RR Martin is the author of the books that helped make a show like Game of Thrones exist. Although George RR Martin was famous before the series, the series made this reputation increase. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki was, like many people, a fan of Martin’s work. In this case, it caused our director to go to Martin and ask for help. Hidetaka Miyazaki collaborated with Martin to develop the world and story of Elden Ring, and many, including themselves, seem to be pleased with the outcome.
Taking advantage of the weather conditions
The fact that the weather is not just a visual animation is just one of the beauties of Elden Ring. If you use fire and lightning attacks, spells, your job may become easier or harder depending on the effect of the weather. As you can imagine, the damage of fire decreases with the effect of rain. Likewise, lightning spells or attacks used during rain can be more effective than normal. So much so that although this situation is limited to a detail like 10% for both parties, it is impressive that such an event was even considered.
Avoiding attacks by jumping and leaning
Although Souls games are known for their sensitive hitboxes especially in the latest games, this situation is much more advanced in Elden Ring. way it appears. Mechanics such as jumping and bending, which are not found in old souls games and appear in Elden Ring, can be used as a mechanic in battles if you can keep the timing. Area damage, shock wave, etc. While you can jump over attacks, you can also dodge the attacks of enemies who can apply large-scale lateral attacks. These mechanics, which are a bit difficult to get used to, make the game a little easier as well as entertaining if learned.
Scaring the creatures
Making the creatures scared and running away from you is a mechanic that actually works in the world of Elden Ring. Of course, it is not the case for every creature, but it will come in handy in specific situations. Enemies in animal form are wolves, dogs from hell, etc. Although they are not strong alone, they can be quite annoying and troublesome when they follow you in a herd. In such cases, the Beast-Repellent Torch (monster repellent torch) will be the equipment that comes to your rescue. All you have to do is pick up the torch and watch the animals run around like mad cows.
Torrent control
A mount like Torrent is truly the kind of mount every open world game needs. We can officially say that it is an unavailable Indian fabric. Especially after you get used to the double jump feature of the mount, everything about the open world can be much more comfortable. You can use this double jump that torrent has to change the direction of your mount or even the height. Of course, for such a scenario to happen, you need to fall down after the first jump, not straight down, so that you can activate the 2nd jump. The occurrence of such a 2nd jump allows to correct errors that occurred as a result of the first jump, as well as to accidentally discover hidden places.
Going back to the beginning
At the beginning of the game, you have to specifically die on the boss that you encounter. Although scenarios where the opposite can happen are possible, this is how the result is in general. But if you’re longing for revenge, it’s possible to go back to the starting area after getting stronger and improving. You can do this by placing an Imbued Stone Key in the Precipice of Precipation tower inside the Four Belfries at the west end of Liurnia of the Lakes. Doing this will get you back to the starting point. Of course, there’s not much you can do here except get your revenge.
