There is a little less than a month left to wait to play From Software’s open world. If you are desperately looking for news and news about the game to wait, here is a new gameplay video that shows various situations and locations.
In addition to Castle Morne and Miyazaki’s interview on the swamps, Game Inform received video clips from another area of Elden Ring, named Lurnia of the lakes. This wet and misty area has its own degenerate inhabitants and dangers to overcome. There is no earth-shattering information in it, but the simple pleasure of exploring hostile territory, and discovering interesting new possibilities for approaching the content.
- The video begins with a kind of teleportation stone that leads to a bridge and a large door that seems sealed. Some of the boss dungeons in the game require a specific item in order to enter, this may be one of them. We are curious to see if it is possible to reach this location without using teleportation.
- The spear weapon skill used on enemies is really impressive, being able to start fights with a ranged critical attack sounds really appealing and convenient.
- The darkness spell allows you to blind the enemy to go behind his back and stab him, this is another addition that will help make certain weapons like daggers more popular in PvE.
- You can see a rock island with legs and a bell in the mists, and especially hear it. It had already been shown in a trailer and some screenshots, but in a very different place. There seems to be more than one in the Underworld
- A strange ghostly tree allows you to follow someone’s ghost to the slightly hidden entrance to an optional dungeon. It’s a bit of a shame to see that it uses the same assets and scenery as the Burrowing Troll mine present on the beta, but the topography and the enemies seem to change. Instead of having narrow mine shafts, there is a huge hall and deadly falls in prospect.
- Finally, you can discover the exploration of partially sunken buildings, as well as a golden tree from which a golden seed is extracted. As in the Castle Morne video, this is used to improve healing/mana vials. It quickly takes several to get one more vial. It’s the equivalent of Dark Souls Estus Flasks, and a fundamental part of aiding your progress and defeating tougher bosses.
