<br>Players have to use Elden Ring' s actual in-game map , too, as the game is considerably larger than Skyrim . According to a Stack Exchange post from Martin Sojka , the total surface area of Bethesda's 2011 RPG comes out to just over 14 square miles - certainly nothing to scoff at. Meanwhile, however, Elden Ring has been determined by Reddit user Lusty-Batch to weigh in at a whopping 79 square kilometers, or 30.5 square miles, making it more than twice the size of Skyrim . Skyrim 's base game has 343 fast-travel locations, while Elden Ring has 300. However, it's important to keep in mind that <a href="https://Www.Eldenringpulse.com/articles/conquering-fulghor-the-ultimate-guide-to-elden-ring-nightreign-s-most-fearsome-nightlord.html">Elden Ring Nightreign Expansion</a> Ring players can only fast travel to sites of grace, whereas Skyrim allows players to fast travel to just about any location they come across.

In this case, players found some branches that allowed them to get over the wall to Selia, getting behind the town, which were then removed in patch 1.03. Interestingly, there are still skips that work for getting into Selia in manners similar to the branches.

See, Thops was disregarded as a sorcerer and scholar at Raya Lucaria, and he was even given the nickname "Thops the Bluntstone" by Elden Ring bullies. It thus appears that he would be treated with hostility upon returning to the school that banished him, and indeed, the Tarnished will find his corpse at a table after giving him an Academy Glintstone. The saddest part about his story is that on Thops's body is a spell (Thops's Barrier) that proves he was on the path to discovering a whole new branch in the Sorcery school of ma<br><br> <br>In some cases, players are not even given the option spare or kill. Blaidd, as Elden Ring 's most tragic character , is destined to go mad because he is a Shadow of an Empyrean who chooses to not fulfill her destiny, and he thus must be put to rest. Iji, too, dies as a consequence of his own accident, as he thought that trying to hold Blaidd in an Evergaol would be the best way to both protect Ranni and keep Blaidd alive.

Instead, he is a modest demi-human seamster who has the singular desire to be loved and appreciated by others.
