<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>Elden Ring is a big game with a sprawling cast of mysterious characters. Many of them received little to no screen time or have unresolved plot threads. The DLC is a perfect opportunity to elaborate on these characters and expand the lore. This is an enticing thought, as Elden Ring ’s lore is already rich and expansive. So any additions may prompt the community to re-contextualize what is known about the history of Elden Ring or even devise new theories to resolve any questions that have been left unanswe<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>Queen Marika the Eternal is the catalyst for the game's events. She is the one who shattered the titular Elden Ring , throwing the Lands Between into a brutal war called The Shattering . Throughout the game, the player finds churches and statues dedicated to Marika. Several NPCs even tell stories about her. When the player finds her seemingly imprisoned inside the Erdtree, her body is broken, and she doesn’t speak. Instead, she transforms, confirming one of the biggest plot twists in the game: Radagon and Marika are one and the s<br><br> <br>Players can encounter the boss Astel, Naturalborn of the Void late in the game. Defeating him is not necessary for the game’s main storyline; however, if players want to complete Ranni’s storyline, they must defeat Astel. And beating Elden Ring 's Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is not easy, even for those seasoned Soulsborne players. If players can get close enough to him, they will find he is not that hard, but reaching him is annoy<br><br> <br>Astel has a lot of AoE attacks, along with several powerful grabs. He teleports around the arena and will use his mandibles to bite the player. Plus, when players first enter the arena, Astel does a beam attack that has a chance to one-shot the player. Getting one shot over and over before even getting close enough to him is exhausting. Astel is an annoying fight that can probably be skipped unless players are completing Ranni’s quest. Later in the game, another version of Astel called Astel, Stars of Darkness can be encountered in the Yelough Anix Tun<br><br> <br>Even though the player defeats Mohg, Miquella’s cocoon remains in the Mohgwyn Palace and is broken open with his long, withered arm hanging from it. Dialogue with Sir Gideon Ofnir implies that Miquella is still alive and merely asleep in the cocoon. This is a clear hint indicating that the DLC may take place inside Miquella’s dreamworld. It’s reasonable to assume that Miquella will be a major boss fight, especially since the Tarnished defeated Male<br><br> <br>The challenging bosses in Elden Ring will require players to study their move sets or summon help. However, there is a difference between a difficult boss and an annoying boss. An annoying boss may have ridiculous attacks, or they may not be alone during the fight.

These similarities are not necessarily connections or references, though. Instead, they are merely efficient use of assets for game design. However, FromSoftware occasionally places items and assets in its games which fuel theories about connections between the worlds and themes of the Soulslike ga<br><br> <br>Elden Ring features perhaps the most complex questlines yet crafted, but, due to the game's open-ended nature, most of them are easy to miss.
