<br>February saw an influx of popular titles, thanks in part to the major releases of Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West , which took place only a week apart. Earlier in the month, Dying Light 2 and Lost Ark saw large player counts. The list of February 2022 video game releases inclu<br><br> <br>Malekith the Black Blade is a lesson in death. It’s a classic Soulsborne fight where everything is not as it seems. The fight begins against a beast clergymen but in the second phase Maliketh is revealed and he is hungry for blood.

Only a truly foul person would betray the trust that he placed in them and attack Alexander after unearthing him.

An argument can be made that Patches should never be killed in any of his iterations throughout FromSoftware’s games.

Fundamentally, Elden Ring is designed to be a game where the journey is more important than the destination - a game where losing a fight isn't a failure, but an opportunity to learn, experiment, discover, or use lateral thinking in order to surpass Elden Ring' s hardest boss battles or personal barriers of inexperience. Even if a player doesn't beat every single boss or uncover every single secret, it's still possible for them to enjoy every single challenge they overcome within **Elden Ring ** 's game world, without needing to worry about whether they prescribed to the imaginary "correct" way to play or <br><br> <br>" He is a ruthless justiciar who commands a company of inquisitors, reviled for his serpentine demeanor.

Back when it released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , a stealth action game about a prosthesis-bearing shinobi in a fantastical version of Japan's Warring States era, a few video game journalists published articles criticizing the game for lacking an "easy mode." From the perspective of these video game journalists, the high base difficulty made the gameplay and combat of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice less approachable and frustrating for players who didn't have a high skill level. FromSoftware fans and other game journalists responded to this critique by pointing out that overcoming grueling challenges was core to the appeal of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and a traditional "easy mode" wouldn't necessarily be the best way to make it more appealing to a wider audie<br><br> <br>If left to his own devices, Boc will eventually depart in search of Queen Rennala at Raya Lucaria Academy, who can change people's appearances with her golden egg of Rebirth. On his own, the kind, gentle Boc will perish, and if the player gifts Boc with one of the Larval Tear items needed for players to reallocate attribute points, he will successfully reach Rennala and become reborn, but winds up losing everything he used to be in the process. The true happy ending for Boc in **Elden Ring ** requires an obscure item called the Prattling Pate "You're beautiful," found in the Mr. Gelmir region where Volcano Manor, home of the Tarnished hunters , resides; use this item in front of Boc, and he will hear his own mother's voice refer to him as beautiful, giving the gentle Demi-Human the validation needed to love himself for who he<br><br> <br>If a player has been paying attention to Elden Ring 's game lore, they'll notice multiple clues indicating that becoming the Lord of Chaos is an apocalyptically bad idea.
