Quick Links
Elden Ring is a massive open-world fantasy RPG that invites players to enter a mystical realm created by Dark Souls' publisher, FromSoftware, in collaboration with George. R. R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire. The game has the largest map of any FromSoftware game to date, and players will discover something to do in almost every nook and cranny of the vast Lands Between. With so much to see and seemingly endless options for character builds and customization, no two playthroughs of Elden Ring will ever be the same.
Between George R. R. Martin's intricate mythology and FromSoftware's exceptional level design, the world of Elden Ring comes alive with its dynamic setting and characters. Players take on the role of a lowly Tarnished, one banished from the Lands Between after losing the grace of the golden Erdtree. However, after the Elden Ring shattered and the ensuing war brought the land to ruin, the Tarnished return to end the hostile stalemate and become the next Elden Lord.
As Elden Ring players make their way through the Lands Between, they'll face powerful enemies and puzzling challenges in each new area they explore. There are bosses to fight, secrets to uncover, and Runes to be claimed, and the Tarnished will have to prepare themselves for the long journey ahead. All of Screen Rant's Elden Ring guides can be found below, and this hub will stay up-to-date with the latest tips and walkthroughs.
Getting Started & Early Game Guides
Elden Ring offers little guidance for Tarnished players taking their first steps in the Lands Between, and with the freedom to go anywhere and do anything, it can be difficult to know how to get started. There are items, secrets, and enemies in every corner of this open world, many of which are easy to miss as players get their bearings with the game's mechanics. These beginner guides will walk players through everything they need to know about getting started in Elden Ring.

Boss Guides
FromSoftware games are known for big, bad, and bloodthirsty bosses, and Elden Ring is no exception. The game is packed with tough boss fights, and while many of them are optional, Tarnished players will still have to prove their might in combat against the Lands Between's most fearsome foes to beat the game. Fortunately, every boss has a weakness, and players can ensure victory with the right strategy and the best Ashes of War in Elden Ring.
