Elden Ring Director Alex Garland Struggles Against The Same Video Game Boss You Did

The developer / video game publisher, FromSoftware, actively shaped our expectations surrounding the genre of souls over the decades. It is designed with love each game that has come to define the genre – from “Dark Souls” to “Bloodborne” – while defending the evocative environmental narration where you, the player, consciously decide on the type of experience in which you are. Hidetaka Miyazaki de Fromsoftware does not justify any introduction, because he was part of this trip at each stage of the process, after having also directed the “Elden Ring” acclaimed by criticism (which has since caused “Elden Ring Nightreign”).

As with any soul that is worth his salt, “Elden Ring” forces the player to engage in the experience of sincerity while experimenting with constructions which help to make the fight a little less frustrating. If you become too impatient or aggressive with your style of play, this insensitivity catches up with you very soon, humiliating you before you can celebrate small victories. However, this exciting and tumultuous journey is tinged with equal quantities of Catharsis when you are Finally Capable of locking a style of play and defeating a boss that had intimidated you from the start. After hours of land exploration between land, you realize that this is not the kind of game you can but button-up or brute-fun. Instead, a little patience and creativity, as well as a healthy quantity of the “Get Good” state of mind, can help bear sweet fruit along the way.

As you may have heard, Fromsoftware is now associated with A24 distributor to adapt “Elden Ring” in a film It is led by none other than Alex Garland (“ex Machina”, “Annihilation”). That’s not all: the author of “A Song of Ice and Fire” George Rr Martin (who helped to expand the world construction of the original game) is also a producer, which should help guarantee that the film remains faithful to the DNA of its source material to a large extent. In the meantime, it seems that Garland (who is not unrelated to video game adaptations) Fighting with the same boss as most players “Elden Ring” do during their first round of the basic game, which is none other than – you guessed it – Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

Mastering a style of play that completes your construction is an integral part of any soul -shaped experience, but there are, of course, other ways to move forward. In an interview Before the release of the highly anticipated “28 years later” (he wrote), said Garland Ign That he still has trouble with the fight of Malenia Boss and implements a style of testing and error he had incorporated from his experience with the series “Dark Souls”:

“It is Malenia who is the difficult. I am now on my seventh game of this game. I have leveled myself, I have a lot of juice, and a cool sword, and things like that, and I throw myself just on it, and again and again. It was the technique that I learned with` Dark Souls ”. It’s not that you improve, it’s more like monkeys and writing machines.

Now, the combat mechanisms of the Malenia boss are undoubtedly more delicate than those of most bosses throughout the basic game, because it takes up lost HP with each attack it landed, even if you manage to successfully block them. In addition, it is fast, capable of closing the distance when you expect the least, triggering signature movements that can be devastating if you cannot anticipate the models after a few tests. As it is standard for most bosses that deserve to be watched, it has two phases, the second (Rot goddess) starting with a special attack that will One-to the player if you do not dodge it or do not get a distance. Although this is easier to say than to do, a combination of study of its attack models, to rely on the enemy lag and to attack during its liquidation animations can easily tip the battle in your favor (provided you have a decently level construction).

Garland followed by saying that Starscourge Radahn is “really easy” because he discovered that the trick is to count on assignments that erude half of the Radahn health bar, allowing you to constantly attack and finish the boss. Although this is a solid strategy, that not Work in the DLC “Erdree”, where Radahn returns as the Radahn, demanding a fight so intense and unpredictable that it can make an adult adult cry. However, it is the agony and ecstasy to play a soul that does not head its players base, which makes the locking process and fighting such a powerful boss that is worth your time. Once you have understood that the high defense of radahs and the lack of elementary weakness can be overcome by a combination of patient construction and strategy settings, the fight challenging an entity of God can grant you a rush to adrenaline like no other.
