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><img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Elden-Ring-Nightreign-Guardian-Build-Header.jpg?width=1200\u0026height=1200\u0026fit=crop\u0026quality=100\u0026format=png\u0026enable=upscale\u0026auto=webp"; style="max-width:410px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />From one beautiful landscape to another, players fought tooth and nail to reach their objectives, fending off magnificent dragons and wicked fell omens throughout the journey.

One major example of this is an update applied to the game menu that appears when Elden Ring player characters rest at a Sight of Lost Grace checkpoint; if players possess the materials needs to upgrade the number of charges or the restorative powers of their healing/magical energy flasks, a golden dot will appear next to the "Flasks" menu option.
