Produced by From Software, inheriting the spirit of “Demon’s Souls / Dark Souls”, the PS4/PS5/Xbox Seris X|S/PC masterpiece “Elden Ring” (Elden Ring) launched in February, its The difficulty can be called the peak of the recent game. Many players who are trying it for the first time may have been full of maliciousness in the early stage of the game (for example, the first boss is very strong, and the initial wild map will encounter another super strong The boss, etc., but in fact, these are not necessary to fight) to be frightened. Therefore, this time, we will bring you some practical guide content in the early stage. With the lack of sufficient explanations in the game, perhaps the following explanations will make it easier for you to survive in the world of “Ayrden’s Circle”.
Summoning spirits make combat easy
Both pawns and boss battles in this game are extremely difficult, but in fact, the easiest way to overcome the maze is to connect through the game, contact the “golden sign” on the ground and invite players from other worlds to join in, and fight in a multi-personal way. It will be easier. However, for players who can’t access the Internet or only love a single player, another method is to use “Summon Bell” and “Bone Ash” to summon various spirits to help fight.
How to get the Summoning Bell:
-
Reach the blessing location next to “Ruins before the level” to trigger the plot, talk to “Melina” and accept the conditions, you can use runes to improve abilities and levels, and get a spirit horse.
-
Teleport back to the initial blessing location “Ile Church”, a witch appears on the wall, talk to her and get the “Summon Bell”, you can use the enemy’s ashes to summon the enemy to assist in the battle.
The ashes can be used indefinitely
“Ashes” seem to have a limited number, but in fact they can be recovered after each blessing rest. In addition, summoning can only be used in specific areas. Pay attention to the leftmost edge of the screen. When a “Stone Arch” pattern appears, it means that summoning can be used, and most of these areas are boss locations or mazes. It is recommended that you set the “Ashes” you want to use on the shortcut key, so that you can quickly summon it during boss battles.
How to Raise the Summoning Spirit Level
