Elden Ring: 10 Hardest Achievements To Unlock, Ranked

<br>**[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Elden Ring .] ** Developer FromSoftware is known for its grueling, lengthy games. Prior to the game’s release, producer Yasuhiro Kitao claimed that the main questline would take around 30 hours - but in reality, it can take over 100 hours to beat depending on the player’s approach. From the get-go, the lore behind the Lands Between remains a mystery, and players can choose to investigate the game’s backstory as deeply or as briefly as they so desire. Killing certain NPCs can also prevent particular questlines, so personal choices can make or break how much of the story the player can unco<br><br> <br><img src="https://cdn.administrace.tv/2025/08/25/small_169/983bada5dd25952dbf9c4ef2aa78f237.jpg"; style="max-width:400px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px;" alt="" />Fixing this mechanic in a future update doesn't seem likely, either for Elden Ring 's Eclipse Shotel or other Death Blight weapons and skills. Given that the mechanic seems mostly to have been changed to affect PvP balance, trying to fix it further could cause a domino effect of imbalances.

However, since the 2009 launch of Demon's Souls the studio has become most well-known for its soulslike action RPGs like Dark Souls , Bloodborne and Elden Ring .

If a player equips the weapon in both hands, they can deal some serious damage to enemies and other players. However, the exciting part of this weapon is the infliction of Death Blight, but after a patch, the Death Blight buildup is very slow, and most in-game enemies are immune to it in the first place.
