<br>The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War "Transient Moonlight," which essentially is the "Unsheathe" Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it's available soon after choosing a class and starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his kn<br><br> <br>Queen Marika had several demigod children, but only a select number of them were classified as Empyreans. These special entities are tasked with being vassals of an Outer God known, in this case, as the Greater Will that created the Elden Ring and the Golden Order that governs the l<br><br> <br><img src="https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/elden-ring/1/14/EldenR_FindMerchantKale.jpg" style="max-width:420px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne gam<br><br> <br>The Sword of Night and Flame once stood next to the Moonveil as the best weapon in the <a href="https://www.Eldenringfans.com/articles/elden-ring-nightreign-the-unyielding-2025-game-of-the-year-contender.html">Game of the Year contender</a>. It’s dual ability in the form of the Night-and-Flame Stance allowed the Tarnished to use either a powerful Faith-based or Intelligence-based spell. While both moves were strong, the Intelligence Night spell was especially noteworthy in PvE because of its resemblance to Comet Azure. Combined with Royal Knight’s Resolve, the Sword of Night and Flame allowed players to easily kill bosses from a distance as shown by Schlechtelaunetyp above, and if an opponent closed in at all, they could then use the Flame ability to wipe out any remaining hea<br><br> <br>**Elden Ring ** features tons of references and nods to FromSoftware’s previous games. The infamous NPC Patches is notable, though many players are aware of his presence and know it as something of a recurring joke. However, several Easter eggs fuel the continuous speculation on a connection between the universes of Elden Ring , Bloodborne , and the Dark Souls series. There's no definitive proof that any of these share a continuity, but Elden Ring 's Easter eggs supply compelling implicati<br><br> <br>One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of Elden Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring 's Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same unive<br><br> <br>ZA/UM's Disco Elysium is another excellent CRPG that translates well onto the Steam Deck. Like Divinity: Original Sin II , its isometric approach and PC-friendly gameplay scheme make Disco Elysium easy to play for short or long stretches. However, while many RPGs opt for highly fantastical or sci-fi-heavy premises, Disco Elysium takes a creative twist by taking place in a (somewhat) grounded dystopian setting with no com<br><br> <br>Commander Niall is a difficult boss, but what makes him annoying is the two ghostly Banished Knights that he summons at the beginning of the fight. Winning the fight depends on how well a player can manage the two knights along with Niall himself. The knight with the dual swords is aggressive and should be taken care of first. But if a player defeats both knights, Niall will become aggressive. It is an annoying fight that may make players decide the Consecrated Snowfield is not worth<br><br> <br>Given their popularly turn-based gameplay, the JRPG subgenre also lends itself well to the handheld and pick-up-and-play incentive behind the Steam Deck. That makes 2020's PC re-release of Persona 4 Golden a solid pick, with its extensive runtime particularly friendlier thanks to the Deck's form fac<br><br> <br>Queen Marika’s backstory must be examined to understand her potential motivations in this theory, which is explored thoroughly by Reddit user Mati9S . These can vary depending on the interpretation. Another crucial point of discussion is the history of the Eternal City and its inhabitants, the Nox. They are likely the reason Mimics exist, but their connection to Marika goes deeper. Ranni and the player Tarnished’s role in the plot must also be explored to evaluate the effect of Marika’s possible true nat<br>
