To begin his quest, the Tarnished must find and defeat the secret Elden Ring boss under Stormveil and then approach the massive rotting head found behind where the boss appears. Near the head is a bloodstain that reveals Rogier being killed by Blighted Death. Going back to Rogier, he explains the giant head is a "sacred relic" from the black knives plot. During the Golden Age of the Erdtree, someone stole a piece of the Rune of Death from Maliketh, the Black Blade, and murdered Godwyn the Golden. Rogier continues to explain that the murder of Godwyn was the first recorded death of a demigod in history and the catalyst for the smashing of the Elden Ring and the Shatter Other than being the alternate way to reach the Altus Plateau, this dungeon is a valuable place to explore. There are many Smithing and Somber Smithing Stones to locate. Close to the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Outlook Site of Grace is the location of the Elden Ring Serpent-God’s Curved Sword . Another weapon called the Magma Wyrm’s Scalesword is also looted after defeating the dungeon’s boss, Magma Wyrm Ma Despite being a tonally dark narrative, Elden Ring is perhaps a bit more optimistic than The Lord Of The Rings ** when it comes to the notion of wielding power without being corrupted by it, since many of the endings where the Tarnished protagonist becomes Elden Lord are optimistic in tone. Still, the tragic fates of Queen Marika, Rykard, Godrick, Gideon Ofnir, and Tarnished PC in the Lord Of Frenzied Flame finale, the worst Elden Ring ** ending of all , illustrate full well how absolute power and a lack of wisdom can chain souls towards paths of folly and e Later, this gesture can be used to solve a tricky puzzle in the Converted Fringe Tower. By performing the gesture while wearing a Glintstone Crown, players can uncover a secret door that leads to two particularly powerful Sorceries, Cannon of Haima and Gavel of Ha If the Tarnished decides to finish the job, Patches will drop a +7 Spear that can be pretty beneficial so early in the game. If the player holds off on killing Patches, he will open up a shop, allowing the player to buy a plethora of different items. The items he offers can be extremely beneficial depending on the build the player is going for. He also can be spoken to at Volcano Manor advancing his questline and leading the Tarnished on an assassination mission. After doing this, Patches will eventually move back to Murkwater Cave where he will teach the Tarnished his infamous Patches Squat, a gesture that can be found in most Souls ga All <a href="https://Eldenringworld.com/articles/elden-ring-nightreign-s-6-player-mod-why-it-s-a-blessing-and-a-curse.html">soulsborne multiplayer experience</a> games have bosses that players feel bad about defeating. A boss may have a sad backstory, or they were once a friend, or maybe they are too cute to kill. In Dark Souls, there is the boss fight with Sif. In Bloodborne , a Souls game players should not ignore , __ the aftermath of the fight with Father Gascoigne is crushing. Two very different bosses with different lore, but players feel terrible about killing t Once he has studied the Knifeprint, he reveals to the Tarnished that Lunar Princess Ranni conducted the rite and was behind the assassination. Because she performed the rite, Rogier explains that she will have the cursemark of Destined Death on her body. Rogier wants the player to find Ranni and get the cursemark. Shortly after this, Rogier will tell Elden Ring 's Tarnished he will soon fall into a deep sleep. He does eventually fall into this sleep. It will take a few visits, but Rogier does eventually The biggest connecting overlap between Rogier, Fia, and Ranni is the cursemark of Destined Death. Rogier wanted the cursemark to study. However, he dies before he gets the chance to see it. Fia, though, requires the cursemark later in her questline, and Ranni’s body is the only place in-game it is possible to find In The Fellowship Of The Ring , the first installment of The Lord Of The Rings , Saruman the White, recently defected to Sauron's side, tries to corrupt Gandalf by preaching about how Sauron's Ring can grant them the " power to order all things as we will, for that good which only the Wise can see [...] all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. " __ In this quote, Saruman unwittingly describes the once-noble intentions of the once-noble Sauron (to make the lands of Middle-earth a better , more orderly place), and illustrates through mimicry how Sauron firmly believed he was the only one smart enough to solve the problems of the world. This prideful conceit - along with the intoxicating lure of power - corrupts Sauron and Saruman, dooms major characters such as Isildur, Boromir, and Denethor, and threatens to consume even noble characters like Frodo, Gandalf, and Galadriel when they come into contact with the One Ring. In The Lord Of The Rings , the greatest act of heroism is not to take up power, but to give it up when it is right to do
