Elden Ring is still packed full of secrets, so hereβs our very own Dave Klein (aka DaveControl) with 10 more things you might now know about From Softwareβs latest epic.
Itβs not unusual for From Software games to keep secrets hidden for years after their release. While Elden Ring may have just launched, the internet has come together to unpack its secrets, and itβs got many of them. Luckily, our Soulsborne expert Dave Klein is here with another ten things you may not have found on your playthrough.
From hints at George RR Martinβs involvement, what happens if you kill Melina, to why Gatekeeper Gostoc is such an asshole, weβve got a number of cool things that weβve stumbled across from playing Elden Ring. If Varre has left you puzzled, or youβre wondering how to kick in Elden Ring, or just how to remove the debuff from Fiaβs huge, itβs all here for you in the video above.
We awarded the game 10/10 in our Elden Ring review, with Tamoor Hussain calling it a masterpiece of open-world design that places exploration and player agency at the heart of the experience.

I thought It was Patches that was stealing runes and that locks you in a dark Room with a banished knight
Potential spoiler
You can summon Malena for the boss fight for Morgot.

Why 85 point in strength, unless you one handing going past 66 is a waste
I didnβt follow Varesβ quest-line, and in The Mountain of the Giants he invaded me. I took it personally, so when I started NG+, I ended up killing him without question.
MY RUNES!!
Jokes on you, I knew one of those things.
Did you know that Elden Ring is a video game? Did you know that Elden Ring is a ring?
Beware! Spoilers ahead!
To actually pause the game hit start, bring up explanations, then tap menu explanation. Also bring up the map, tap πΊ or Y, then tap π₯ or X. That should take you straight to the round table. Play around in the menus. There are little tricks throughout.
I'm sure imma get flamed for this but making the main characters have names based on his initials is narcissistic af imo
Rykard and Rya of Volcano Manor make up the second R family to complete the GRRM initials with the other families.
Jesus christ this game is amazing
I don't know how much other people will find it interesting, but Blaidd is actually Welsh for Wolf, which is neat, because he and a lot of the character involved with Renna are played by welsh actors as well.
Like π
0:27 Thought she was holding 2 babies real quick. π€£ Did a double take
Kicking is a souls classic anti-block
That tree affect occurs if Mellina dies when you summon her for the Morgot fight.
Now we now more of Elden Rign than our own lifes jaja
I can kick if I have a bow in my right hand
6:42 you get a buff in exchange. You make it sound as if hugging her is pointless…

Thankfully I killed Gostoc right away. I knew I couldnβt trust him lol

i hate this game bec no map no quest no nothing, like u walking in the darkness without light
If any of you do get to Mohgwyn's Palace using that method, just remember that you CAN fast travel out of there anytime you want. You just have to go to the map screen and press R3 to switch the map back to the aboveground locations. Lots of people keep thinking that place is like Selias Crystal tunnel where you get trapped there, but it's not trust me.
FOR JARAD!!!
But did you know that one boss is Malenia, blade of Miquella?
Main thing that you should know – Horizon FW is 20x times better.
Keep these Elden Ring vids coming!!!!
Great work!!
The animation when melina dies is just her casting a spell when she dies. She does it when you summon her against margott. It's just an aoe heal
