When the boss attacks from a distance, an Elden Ring player’s attempt to trick the Draconic Tree Sentinel completely fails.

One of the hardest bosses in the game, the Draconic Tree Sentinel, is attempted to be cheated by an Elden Ring player, but it immediately backfires. In Elden Ring, the Draconic Tree Sentinel is feared, and it is simple to understand why. It is a strong foe with a wide variety of attacks and a large health reserve. Some believe that simply avoiding a direct confrontation and attacking from a distance is the simplest way to defeat it.

Two of the most well-known locations in the game contain the Draconic Tree Sentinel. The first one is located on the outskirts of the capital. If the player kills this Draconic Tree Sentinel, Lyndell, the Royal Capital, will be accessible. The other is found watching over the entrance to the Maliketh boss arena. Due to the fact that they are both overworld bosses, these foes are one-time enemies. The Draconic Tree Sentinel in Crumbling Farum Azula has two summons available. If they have made progress in Millicent’s quest, players can summon her, but if not, the Great Horned Tragoth is always available. However, the boss is so challenging that even with the assistance of these characters, they might not be able to defeat them.

An Elden Ring player attempted to avoid a direct confrontation with the terrifying foe in a video that was uploaded to Reddit. The user, drunken corpse666, set up their Jar Cannon aim and found a viewing position high above the Draconic Tree Sentinel on the bridge. The enemy noticed and turned its focus to the player in the distance after firing a shot at the Draconic Tree Sentinel and hitting it. The enemy quickly retaliated with its devastating ranged lightning strike as drunken corpse666 adjusted for a better angle.This attack targets a player nearby and shoots lightning at them from above, knocking them back. Unfortunately, this Elden Ring player’s character was just inches from the edge of the ledge when they were struck by the attack, causing them to drop to their death. The Draconic Tree Sentinel in Elden Ring can be defeated, but it is not simple. Click here to view the full article.

The Draconic Tree Sentinel detected my cheese

The Elden Ring player was struck by lightning and lost over 500,000 runes in addition to their life. It’s entirely possible that the player attempted to cheese the adversary in order to keep their runes but perished in the process. Cheesing in Elden Ring is a viable strategy, but most veterans tend to avoid it.

The game Elden Ring is very challenging. Some even call Elden Ring one of the most challenging games of all time. With threats like the Draconic Tree Sentinel and the potential for instant death, it is understandable why players like drunken corpse666 try to take the easy route even though it is not always advantageous.

After a long wait, FromSoftware has officially announced Elden Ring’s expansion, along with a picture of the new location players will explore.

Shortly after the game’s anniversary, FromSoftware has finally revealed the long-awaited Elden Ring expansion. For every role-playing game (RPG) that FromSoftware has released since the first Dark Souls game, an expansion is available. People have been speculating about the Elden Ring expansion for almost a year, wondering what it would entail, where the story would go, and when it would be revealed.

One of the most eagerly awaited video games ever since it was first revealed was Elden Ring, which captivated players with a world created not only by Hidetaka Miyazaki but also with assistance from renowned author George R.R. Martin. When it was finally released, it received positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised its well-designed open world, setting, and gameplay, which offered a lot of freedom. Since the game’s explosive launch, fans have remained engaged in the community by posting videos of their gameplay and the various strategies they use to defeat Malenia, the hardest boss in Elden Ring, as they wait for any updates on the expansion.

Thankfully, the wait is over as the official Elden Ring Twitter has finally released the first nugget of information regarding the eagerly anticipated expansion. The expansion, which is currently under development, will be called “Shadow of the Erdtree,” according to the tweet. A single image that shows a woman with long blonde hair riding a spirit horse, possibly named Torrent, looking out from what appears to be the edge of the Lands Between and seeing the destroyed Erdtree in the distance as it leaks a golden liquid from its husk is posted alongside this tweet.

Rise, Tarnished, and let us walk a new path together.

Elden Ring players refer to the woman’s location as the Badlands, which is a large, hilly field of weeds dotted with building ruins and what seem to be ghostly representations of gravestones. Although more is certain to be revealed, not much else was said about the expansion, leaving fans to speculate once more with the one image they have.

Although the title of the expansion has been revealed, there are still many unanswered questions. Chief among these is who the maiden is and how significant a role she will play in the narrative. With 20 million copies of Elden Ring recently sold, many people are eagerly anticipating what the game’s upcoming installment will bring. There is optimism that more information will emerge in the upcoming months.

The directors talk about the adjustments being made to make Resident Evil 4 more contemporary as the remake approaches.

Despite the fact that many people believe the original Resident Evil 4 to be the best in the series, the remake’s creators realized that player choice needed to be more prominent to make it more appealing to contemporary players. The Resident Evil franchise has been around for a very long time, but it continues to be incredibly popular thanks to the seventh installment, which rebooted the franchise in 2017, as well as the remakes that have brought new life to the classic entries. It appears that Capcom’s premier horror series will continue to rule the gaming industry.

The developer is going all out for this iteration to ensure that it pleases all types of gamers, especially in light of the recent confirmation of a VR mode for the remake of Resident Evil 4. The 2005 release, while still being an important game in the RE series, was a turning point in the series because it altered the formula that the first three games had established. It has aged over time, though, and the studio wants the remake to feel more contemporary because of this and the way the industry has changed.

The directors of the Resident Evil 4 remake, Yasuhiro Ampo and Kazunori Kadoi, acknowledged in a recent Game Informer video that bringing the original back in its original form would not be feasible in the present. From the beginning, it was clear that adjustments were necessary to accommodate modern gamers. The emphasis on player choice has been a key component of the remake because one such change concerns how players approach specific situations. Ampo claims that contemporary games go beyond simple combat, incorporating extra mechanics like stealth or an escape route, which the developer thought was crucial for this version of RE4.

In addition, the remake of Resident Evil 4 won’t have QTEs, or at least won’t focus on them as much as the original did. Kadoi acknowledged that quick time events are not common in today’s games, which required the development team to take a different approach to situations like the fight between Leon and Krauser and choose a new parry system in its place.

The directors have also stated that they were hesitant to remake Resident Evil 4 because they knew how much of a “masterpiece” the original was. The Capcom team appears to be able to combine a sense of newness with nostalgia for those who played the original release, though. This latest remake is probably going to receive just as many favorable reviews given how well-received RE2 and RE3 remakes were.

A player of Elden Ring posts a video of their strange death while battling the Beast Clergyman in the Crumbling Farum Azula.

The Beast Clergyman in the Crumbling Farum Azula hilariously caused one Elden Ring player to lose their life. The Beast Clergyman’s first phase was successfully completed by the player, but he tragically perished shortly after in an unanticipated manner. One of the hardest boss battles in the game is this one.

One of the late-game areas that becomes accessible after committing a mortal sin by using the Forge of the Giants to burn down the Erdtree is the Crumbling Farum Azula. Players of Elden Ring are well-known for this area’s platforming and its abundance of dragons to slay. The area’s main boss is well-known to many players, but not everyone has figured out all of its tricks. Take, for instance, the battle against the Dragonlord Placidusax’s hidden boss. There is no space or time in the Crumbling Farum Azula. Because of this, players may practically run into the Beast Clergyman simultaneously here and in Caelid.

An Elden Ring player with the username DaddyPingu2874 demonstrated their unusual and somewhat comical method of passing away during the battle with the Beast Clergyman in the video that was uploaded to Reddit. The attack in the video is made with the Bloodhound Fang, a curved sword with a unique weapon art that allows the user to backflip while swinging the sword and then dash forward for a second strike. After several hits, this attack easily knocks down a boss due to its high poise damage.Until they inflict enough poise damage to create a window for a critical hit on the boss, the player dances around the arena dodging attacks. The cutscene for the Beast Clergyman’s second phase was started when they finally dealt the critical hit, but DaddyPingu2874 instantly died as a result. To view the complete link, go here.

Gotta love these moments

The player was teleported to the front of the adversary to launch the attack as soon as the critical hit animation began. The player floated off the arena and remained in midair until the animation was finished because the Beast Clergyman was so close to the edge of the platform. They were killed as a result of this just as the second phase got started.

The player posted about their rather unfortunate fate on Reddit under the title “Gotta love these moments” rather than being upset. Elden Ring players are accustomed to dying strangely; in fact, many have grown to appreciate the illogical ways a character can pass away in the Lands Between. Reddit is flooded with videos of players posting ridiculous ways their Elden Ring character perished. These videos make for amusing shareable moments.

The game Elden Ring provides a lot more than just gameplay. The game is much less painful and more enjoyable when you enjoy the wacky Elden Ring animations and smile after failing.

While the two may be on opposing sides, a Destiny 2 player points out that the narrative arcs of The Traveler and Calus are more similar than some may think.

While it’s not uncommon for some characters in the same universe to have similar character arcs, a Destiny 2 player notes that Calus and The Traveler’s narratives appear to be building to the same point ahead of the release of Lightfall. Both The Traveler and Calus have been prominent characters in the game’s universe for years, with The Traveler being a constant above The Last City until recently, and Calus’ influence growing since his introduction in the original Leviathan raid. Whether it was Bungie’s plan or a complete coincidence, it appears that despite being on opposing sides, these two are heading in the same direction in their respective stories.

Narratively, The Traveler has been a constant in human history for centuries, helping to usher in humanity’s golden age long before Destiny and Destiny 2. Since 2014, players have seen it hover above The Last City, but with the end of Season of the Seraph, it has moved to a new location in high orbit above Earth, leaving the space above The Last City empty. Calus, on the other hand, became a presence in the lives of players beginning with the Leviathan raid before serving as the focal point of Season of Opulence and Season of the Haunted, as well as various bits of lore discussing his history as Cabal emperor.

Bungie has stated that both characters will play significant roles in Lightfall, with The Witness arriving in the Sol System for its long-awaited confrontation with The Traveler, and Calus invading Neomuna on The Witness’ behalf. The two beings’ arcs, however, have landed them at similar points at the end of Season of the Seraph, with the only difference being which side they are on, according to Reddit user WaterDrinkerUltimate. WaterDrinkerUltimate mentions a line from The Witness in the season finale cinematic in which he says The Traveler has “nowhere left to run,” and how it can also be applied to Calus.

Both Calus and the Traveler have “Nowhere left to run”

by u/WaterDrinkerUltimate in DestinyTheGame

For years, the conflict between The Traveler and The Witness has been building, with the lore mentioning the many races The Traveler gifted with The Light before fleeing and abandoning them to The Witness before the latter continued its pursuit. WaterDrinkerUltimate contends that the same could be said of guardians’ pursuit of Calus after discovering that the Calus they encountered in the Leviathan raid was a giant robotic stand-in for the deposed emperor. However, Calus becoming The Witness’ newest disciple appears to have put him in a position where he will be forced to confront the guardians.

It establishes an intriguing narrative link between The Traveler and Calus as they approach Lightfall, where both appear to be focal points of the expansion’s narrative. Bungie has been working for years to blur the lines between good and evil in Destiny 2’s story, most notably with characters like Eramis, Savathun, and Crow. While this link could simply be a coincidence, it blurs the lines further and opens the door for more player speculation about where the Destiny universe is heading.

Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
