Elden Ring: How To Expand Your Shop In Shadow Of The Erdtree? - Bell Bearings’ Location

Elden Ring was first released in 2022, and it was the first time that Souls series were truly brought from a niche to the masses. Perhaps some people would say that Sekiro is also a work by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and even the game of the year. Doesn’t it count as bringing Souls games to the masses? Let’s be a little more fundamentalist here. Although Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is also full of Souls, the operation method of this game is very different from Souls series, so it is temporarily expelled from Souls series. Elden Ring is undoubtedly a game that inherits the traditional Souls series. From Demon’s Souls to Dark Souls trilogy, our protagonist is a knight wearing Western armor, fighting demons or dragons on a land full of death. In Elden Ring, there doesn’t seem to be much change. So this game has been released for nearly three years, and most of the content has been completely analyzed by strategy on the Internet. So is it still worth playing? My answer is, yes. The Best Soul-like Game After the release of Elden Ring, many Souls-like works have been released one after another, such as Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and even Another Crab’s Treasure. These works are all excellent, and some of them are even better than Elden Ring, but they had various problems when they were released. These problems are basically concentrated on the stiff operation feel and unreasonable number of enemies. In addition to the strange rebound feel of Lies of P, another point is that the process is too short. Elden Ring has been excellent in all aspects so far. The only feeling of many players after completing the first round is: I really want to lose my memory and play Elden Ring again. For players, the best Souls series game at present is Elden Ring. Whether it is a new player or an old player, if you want to have the best Souls series game experience, then Elden Ring is his best choice. Graphics From Souls 1 to Souls 3, the picture quality of Souls series games has never been the best, but the art design of Souls Tour has always been the most fantastic. Due to the traditional fragmented narrative method of Souls series, they put all the information of the whole story in every corner of the game. This gives players the intuitive feeling that they seem to have really come to a different world full of heavy history. When the player walks out of Stormveil Castle and rides on a spirit horse to look at Caria Manor Magic Academy hidden in the lake and mist, the shock brought to the player is even greater than when the players of Souls III walked out of the underground cemetery and saw the moonlit Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. And Elden Ring adopts the design of developing a large world map, which allows Hidetaka Miyazaki to let go of his fists and feet. In the game, every time you come to a new area, you will be shocked by the spectacular scenery here. In short, if you are a player who loves scenery, then don’t miss Elden Ring. Combat Tarnished, the protagonist of Elden Ring, has a very powerful performance in Souls series. Because he has knees, he can jump! This has brought many revolutionary changes to Elden Ring in both combat and map design. However, this is a bit lacking compared to other games. As an action game, Tarnished does not have the ability to go to the sky and into the earth like the protagonists of Devil May Cry and God of War series. In fact, Tarnished is more rigid, and often after launching an attack, you have to wait for the enemy’s attack to end before attacking again. Therefore, some players jokingly call this a “round-based” attack. This fighting method is actually quite challenging. Even if the player has defeated the final BOSS, they still have to be vigilant when facing the monsters, otherwise you may be robbed of all your Elden Ring Runes by three dogs that pop out at any time. The battle of Elden Ring is mainly divided into PVP and PVE parts. Most people will only experience the PVE part, which is enough. Because just playing PVE content is enough for you to play for a long time. First of all, Elden Ring has the most content in all soul series, which is the advantage of the open world. You can spend a whole week in Elden Ring, and you may still not be able to pass it. Secondly, after you clear Elden Ring, you have new weapons and new equipment. Don’t you want to go back and take revenge on those elite monsters and bosses who bullied you? Then start the second round. Even if you are an old player, after putting down Elden Ring, you still want to take it back and play it again. Maybe try a new weapon, or change to a new style of playing. Suitable For Playing With Friends The most important thing about playing games is happiness, and Elden Ring can bring happiness to people, whether it is played alone or online. Elden Ring has an online mode. You can explore the castle or dungeon with your friends. If you are an old player, you can get the satisfaction of being a sun knight. If you are a new player, you can feel the joy of growth by getting runes to upgrade or getting new equipment during the game. If you are looking for a game to play with friends, then in addition to It Takes Two, you can also try Elden Ring.  If you are worried that Elden Ring is too difficult, you might as well participate in the giveaway of iGMeet Discord to get some runes to make your pioneering journey easier. Elden Ring will still be relevant in 2025, and it deserves to be the Game of the Year in 2022. It also received a DLC in 2024, which added a lot of new content, such as spells, equipment, and even new types of weapons. Perhaps the only person who can beat Hidetaka Miyazaki is himself. Until his new game is released, Elden Ring will always be the most fun Soul-like game.

Elden Ring does not actually explain the game to players specifically, but only makes an introduction of a simple set of explanation and the vague direction they’re supposed to head in without any details being provided. This gives players a lot of freedom to play the game in their own way and at their own pace and explore the mysteries hidden in it without being restricted. Many players said that they enjoyed this mode and often immersed themselves in it. However, due to the lack of detailed explanations, many players did not know the more nuanced mechanics. Although players can experience the game at their own pace, getting known as obscure mechanics could offer you more fresh game experience, and gain an advantage over other players. Now let’s take a closer look at these 5 obscure mechanics. 5. Buff Stacking The game does not explain the specific use of buffs. Based on their gaming experience, many players believe that different buffs can be combined which is not entirely correct. Because only some buffs can be combined with others to enhance performance. There are five varieties of buffs in the game: aura, body, weapon, regeneration, and unique, separately. Under the normal circumstance, Tarnished can only own one buff from each category (exclude unique buffs, which can stack with one another without limitation). Once players establish the combination of buffs they require, the difficulty of the game will plummet. 4. Counter Attacking There are many types of attacks in Elden Ring, such as simple attacks, vigorous attacks, powerful weapon skills, and guard counters. However, counter-attack is not being described in detail. In fact, if the player attacks the enemy with counter-attack, the damage output will be greater than usual. Combing with Spear Talisman, which will enhance the degree of damage, the damage output of counter-attack will increase by 45%. There are two conditions for an attack to be viewed as a counter-attack. In the first place, the player must employ a weapon that deals with piercing damage. Secondly, Tarnished have to attack an enemy while they are in the middle of an attack animation. 3. Feinting Feinting is one of the obscure mechanics that being barely known. Maybe many players don’t know the existence of this mechanism, or even if they know about it, they have never actually used. Feinting provides another type of attack to the player’s arsenal, enlarging the possibilities and chance of attack, and also creating the false impression of opponents in PvP. Considering the fact that multitude of people do not figure out the function of it, feints offer much help in the aspect of catching other players off-guard. 2. Hyper Armor The amount of hits Tarnished can bear before flinching is an important thing for players to pay attention to. The result is calculated by combining the poise of all armor pieces that they are currently wearing. Talismans also have a certain impact on the result. But there is another number that needs to be counted. That number is Hyper Armor itself. Each attack that a player performs will offer them a certain amount of Hyper Armor, serving as an additional poise on top of what their armor is that they already own. Under normal circumstances, the size and weight of the weapon also have a bearing on Hyper Armor. For example, larger weapons have Hyper Armor on most attacks, but some smaller weapons only have Hyper Armor on some attacks. You can get some weapons equipped with more Hyper Armor by devoting some Elden Ring Runes. By the way, charged attacks and some weapon skills will have more Hyper Armor. 1. I-Frames I-Frames are a mechanism that helps players dodge. If there are some I-Frames, the player will become invincible during the dodge process. Since Fast rolls have more I-Frames than Medium rolls, dodging attacks will become more simple and easy. In a similar way, heavy rolls own fewer I-Frames than both Medium and Fast rolls, making it much more difficult to dodge attacks in the situation of being encumbered. However, what many people do not master is that there are other methods to embrace I-Frames in Elden Ring. Mounting and dismounting Torrent while standing gives the player I-Frames while lasting for a short period. In addition, the following weapon skills also promise players I-Frames: Ash of War: Quickstep Ash of War: Bloodhound’s Step Ash of War: Vow of the Indomitable Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists Bloodhound’s Finesse Skill Dynast’s Finesse Skill If you are a loyal fan of Elden Ring, you can log in to iGMeet discord. There will be some lucky draws in Giveaway channel, and you can also get more real-time information about the game. The above is about sharing some little-known but useful mechanisms in Elden Ring. I hope it can give some inspiration for you.

In Elden Ring Patch 1.13 released some time ago, Golem Fist has become a new favorite among players because the heavy attack of this weapon has a second hit box! Now, at the right range, your heavy attack will attack twice instead of once. This allows you to deal with more damage at close range. But you can’t just use it. You will find that when preparing a build around Golem Fist, you also need to consider the weaknesses and some failures of this weapon. Don’t panic, this guide will list the items you need to prepare and some information you need to know before building a build for it. Golem Fist Pros And Cons First, let’s introduce Golem Fist, which is a new weapon added in Shadow of the Erdtree. You can find it in Ruined Forge of Taylew. Although it has normal boxing-oriented attacks, its unique feature is that it can stand up and fire projectiles. It can be used whether you are charging or not charging, and it does not use your FP. However, it is important to remind you that the damage that Golem Fist can deal is relatively small, but you can use it to hit some large enemies that are not too far away from you. But you can disrupt their rhythm in front of enemies using spells, or add more status effects. As for the low damage just mentioned, after Patch 1.13, Golem Fist can now deal enough damage to allow you to fight some medium-difficulty bosses. Although it will be challenging to use it in PVP because the projectile’s ability to track enemies is poor, the high damage of the heavy attack can still use Golem Fist to fight some enemies that are very close. When used on a boss, as long as you can complete the charge of the heavy attack, you can easily defeat it and pick up Elden Ring Runes. Or, if you don’t have time for a heavy attack, the light attack and dash attack speed of this weapon are fast enough to catch enemies in PVP and PVE well. Although Golem Fist has many advantages, its biggest weakness is that there are a lot of bugs in the game that drag down its overall performance. Although some of them have been fixed in Patch 1.13, there are still some problems left - Golem Fist cannot get pleasant benefits from Smithing Talisman and Axe Talisman. So you may need to pay attention when choosing amulets in the future. In addition, the benefits of Spiked Cracked Tear on weapons cannot be reflected on Golem Fist. Best Ashes Of War Given the pros and cons above, you should consider three things when choosing Ashes of War: increased damage, making it difficult for enemies to interrupt your attacks, and being able to teleport into the effective range of Golem Fist in time. So based on these three points, Ashes of War you can choose from are as follows: Ash of War: Endure Ash of War: Quickstep Ash of War: Bloodhound’s Step Ash of War: Shriek of Sorrow Ash of War: Poison Flower Blooms Twice Best Infusions For Infusions, pay more attention to status build-up. If you like the feeling of a melee in combat, you can also increase the power of attack from Golem Fist a little. Although the first power attack of this weapon is currently buggy and does not apply any status effects, the second blow and the projectile itself still apply status accumulation. So you can learn how to increase it first, and you can get started as soon as possible after the fix is ​​fixed. Since its heavy attacks hit so fast but its light attacks combo so quickly, Golem Fist can still accumulate status effects at a very fast rate. Based on this condition, you can choose Blood infusion or Frost infusion. The former is the best choice of the two, because you can combine White Mask and Lord of Blood’s Exultation with it, so that your punch damage will be greatly increased. Besides those two, Poison is also a superb choice, and you can combine it with Kindred of Rot’s Exultation talisman and Mushroom Crown helmet, which will give you an unexpected effect. Optimal Stats Distribution For Golem Fist, there are two builds you can choose: one that focuses on Faith and Strength, and the other that focuses on Strength and Arcane. If you want your status effects to be stronger, you can put 70-80 skill points into Strength, and then put 40-50 points into Arcane, so that you can get the strongest attack in the light and heavy attack combination. Because of the high Arcane attribute, you can build up status effects very quickly. Alternatively, if your focus is on increasing heavy attacks, you can put 70-80 into Faith and only 40 into Strength. This will allow you to cast buffs and get extremely high damage values ​​from Flame Art infusion. Best Talisman Millicent’s Prosthesis/Rotten Winged Talisman These two Talismans are seen in some common builds and are a must-have. They increase your damage with each consecutive hit, which is very useful for Golem Fist. This damage buff caps out at three consecutive hits, which is the same as four hits with your full-strength heavy attack. Or you can choose to achieve the same effect with a series of fast and frequent light attacks. It’s up to you. Bull-Goat’s Talisman You need to build up your Poise before using Golem Fist to ensure that your light and heavy attacks are not interrupted by enemies. Then equip Bull-Goat’s Talisman, which increases your Poise by 33%. If you want to get your Poise above 75, you can use this Talisman with some heavier armor. Used together, it may have a remarkable effect. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman Whether you focus on Golem Fist’s light or heavy attacks, you should always focus on your stamina. If you don’t want to keep an eye on these stats, you can equip Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, which can help you recover stamina faster and make stamina management easier to handle. If you encounter any problems in Elden Ring DLC, you are welcome to come to iGMeet Discord to tell your problem. I believe that many players in it will definitely give you a perfect answer. You may even have a chance to get some runes as a bonus! After learning some information about Golem Fist, are you eager to open the game and start modifying your own build? I hope this guide can help you in your exploration process, and I wish you a happy game!

With the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, Sorceries and magic have returned in force, and players have discovered that there are a ton of spells and staffs to use. Each staff has something that sets them apart, and each has a different purpose. Some staffs enhance certain spells, while others have incredible scaling. For example, some staffs can cause bleed damage and scarlet rot effects on enemies. Choosing the right staff in the game can make your quest or combat much easier. Glintstone Staff Glintstone Staff is a great starting Prisoner staff, as it only requires regular smithing stones to upgrade this Elden Ring Items, and Intelligence is something you need to focus on. While the Glintstone Staff doesn’t have any skills or associated buffs, it’s a great all-around choice for players who are just getting started with Prisoner in Elden Ring. This magic root is used by Prisoner by default, but can also be picked up by Noble Sorcerer enemies in Caria Manor later in the game. Astrologer’s Staff Among the first class staffs, Astrologer’s Staff is arguably the best for players who want to build a pure magic build early on. Its Intelligence stat is higher than Glintstone Staff overall, and it improves more with each upgrade. Glintstone Staff is more suitable for flexible builds, while Astrologer’s Staff is more suitable for full magic builds. If you’ve been looking for a handy staff, you can’t miss Astrologer’s Staff. It can be used to maximize your efficiency for a large part of your introductory period, and its high Intelligence stat can make you feel accomplished when fighting against early monsters. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff This staff will probably be the first major upgrade for most sorcerers in Elden Ring. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff can be obtained by defeating a small boss in Demi-Human Forest Ruins. However, it is not without its shortcomings. Its expansion is weak, so you can still use Astrologer’s Staff mentioned above in the early game. When your other attributes are a bit higher, you can use it to add a little magic to your build. Crystal Staff In Academy Crystal Cave, you can find the staff behind the fake wall in front of the boss’s door. If you still can’t see it, you can try to go a little further to the right room. Although it only provides a 10% increase in Crystalian Sorceries, this increase can often mean a completely different result - life or death? Unlike Rotten Crystal Staff, the basic Crystal Staff will not cause any accumulation when used as a melee weapon. But it can’t help but look beautiful - the whole body looks like a sapphire. But it is not a beautiful waste at all, and it can make exploration easier for you with eight Strength and a staggering forty-eight Intelligence. Gelmir Glintstone Staff Like other aspects of Elden Ring, it allows players to build their own characters specifically to showcase their desired fighting style. Among high-level players, most focus on Faith and Intelligence. For mages who want to replicate the high-level player path, Gelmir Glintstone Staff will be their most powerful weapon, as it increases the effectiveness of lava-centric spells by 15%. To get it, you need money to go to Volcano Manor to find Man-Serpent Sorcerer, and you also need to fight it in the throne room. After succeeding, you will find Gelmir Glintstone Staff on the ground. Staff Of Loss Many Elden Ring players will consider what is more effective? Is it a powerful attack that the enemy can see and avoid? Or a smaller damage that is unpredictable? Staff Of Loss can solve your second half of the problem, both casting spells that make the enemy unpredictable and creating a lot of damage. Elden Ring has two specific Invisibility Sorceries, namely Night Shard and Night Comet. So in a sense, Staff Of Loss is closely related to both spells. Staff Of Loss can be found on a corpse located in Town of Sorcery, Sellia. This staff increases the effectiveness of both spells by 30%, but in the dual-wielding New Game+ build this can be increased to 60%! Carian Glintstone Staff In the game, staff wielders are often seen as more passive combatants, as they seem to only be willing to face enemies from a comfortable distance and are unwilling to engage in close combat. But Carian Glintstone Staff completely breaks tradition by adding 15% power to the Carian sword sorceries, allowing you to cast Void Blade on any enemy that stands in your way. If you know Carian Study Hall’s Liurnia of Lakes, then finding Carian Glintstone Staff is very simple. It is on a corpse in the second elevator. Carian Regal Scepter For casual players who don’t want to specialize in a particular type of spell, but just want a staff that can do everything, Carian Regal Scepter is perfect for them. To get it, you need to first give Remembrance of Full Moon Queen to Enia in Roundtable Hold. After you complete this quest, you need to go to Rennala at the top of Raya Lucaria Academy inside of the library to get this Elden Ring Item. Carian Regal Scepter relies mainly on Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade, which means its attributes are also unique. So you have to be unique to use it - Intelligence must be 69 or higher. How many of these staffs have you obtained now? Have you used them to their maximum effect? ​​I hope you have fun playing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree!
