<br>The Highroad Cave is located in Stormhill, just north of Limgrave near the big bridge. As for why players will want to check this place out, it's one of the good thematic caves in Elden Ring where players will want torches or a lantern. This cave is dimly lit, and that adds to the challenge of travers<br><br> <br>Indeed, Ranni shares a lot with the Nox people. The Nox strangely have a great admiration for the stars despite living deep beneath the ground. However, this affinity makes sense when visiting either Nokron of Nokstella, as their false skies glitter with stars. Even the large, scorpion-skeleton hybrid creatures who use Gravity Sorceries in these locations are called "Malformed Stars." This calls to Ranni's goal in creating an Age of Stars in which the Greater Will is replaced with the Dark Moon and the Outer Gods are kept away from the Lands Between. Thus, stars play an important role in both Ranni's and Nox's mission, which are already similar in their <br><br> <br>In another classic bit of bleak FromSoftware lore, the Nomadic Merchants hide a haunting origin story. They're peaceful in-game, namely the friendly Kalé that the Tarnished meets at the start of the game. Should players try to attack a merchant, they'll respond accordingly by fighting back. But what's eerie about this is that they use the madness-inducing abilities of the Frenzied Fl<br> <br>Blaidd, the half-wolf, greatsword toting guardian of Ranni the Witch, is an Elden Ring NPC with a popularity comparable to that of Solaire from Dark Souls , thanks to his friendly demeanor, combat prowess, and his disarmingly soft-spoken voice. Fortunately, Elden Ring gamers who want to give their character a wolf's head don't need to attack Blaidd for it. After beating the main boss in Caria Manor and progressing into the area beyond, players can acquire the "Black Wolf Mask" item by hopping up some walls near Seluvis's Rise, where Seluvis brews his potions .

The two Crystalians are not exactly fun or fair to fight, but once players have defeated them, they can unlock an elevator that goes up to the rooftops of Raya Lucaria Academy. It's a lovely sight, and there are even more rewards in the chest nea<br><br> <br> Starscourge Radahn may have lost his mind by the time of **Elden Ring ** , but that does not mean he's not a hero of the Lands Between. The demigod son of Rennala and Radagon, Radahn was once hailed as one of the most feared warriors in the world before going down the dark path of madness that would eventually claim him. However, certain items, characters, and locations in the game suggest that he retains an even more impressive potential title through it all: He is one of the most feared warriors in the entire unive<br><br> <br>Affectionately dubbed "Turtle Pope" by the fan base, the Pastor of Vows Miriel is arguably one of the best NPCs in Elden Ring . He's as compassionate as he is knowledgable, and is happy to teach and learn along with the Tarnished upon meeting them. However, for gameplay purposes since even NPCs drop loot or incite interesting storylines, one Redditor indulged a dark and morbid curios<br><br> <br>At the start of Elden Ring, the Lands Between are scarred by war and haunted by the faded remains of imperial glory. Before the Night of the Black Knives, the shattering of the Elden Ring , and the civil war between rival Demigods, an imperial monarchy-slash-religious creed called the Golden Order united the myriad cultures of the Lands Between under its auspices. The Erdtree and dragon-worshiping nobles of Leyndell, the stone-masked sorcerers of Raya Lucaria and Selia, the oppressed demi-humans and Misbegotten underclasses – each of these species and cultures had a place and role within the Golden Order, and show up in Elden Ring proper as both wandering enemies and stout all<br><br> <br>But <a href="https://Www.eldenringpulse.com/articles/my-elden-ring-nightreign-adventure-exploits-frustrations-and-finding-joy-in-limveld.html">Elden Ring Nightreign</a> Ring 's Starscourge Radahn, boss status aside, may have also been trying to keep control of the extraterrestrials already in the Lands Between. One of the Nox's Eternal Cities was struck by a falling star in punishment for their blasphemy. This falling star was Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. Astel is essentially a much larger and more powerful version of the Malformed Stars who also came to the Lands Between from outer space. While these these beings have posed a threat to the Nox and have even destroyed what was meant to be an eternal city, they are kept contained deep beneath the surface of the Lands Between because of the lack entryways into Nokron and Nokstella. But because of Ranni, they - along with other extraterrestrials like Falling Star Beasts - now have an opportunity to find their way to the surf<br><br> <br>More than that, it forces players to think on their toes when dealing with these enemies.
