Elden Ring
Elden Ring was created by FromSoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki, but the mythology behind the game was created by George R.R. Martin. It seems that the author has put his signature into the game in a particular way: the names of the gods and demigods at the base of the lore are all based on the writer's initials.Before continuing in the news, you must understand that the following might be deemed a spoiler by some. We will have to indicate the names of the characters based on the initials of George R.R. Martin. Continue past the image at your own risk.
One of the characters of Elden Ring As indicated by PC Gamer, the characters related to the Major Rune are Godfrey, Godwyn, Godrick, Morgott, Mogh, Rennala, Radagon, Radahn, Rykard, Ranni, Renna, Marika, Malenia , Miquella, and Maliketh. As you can see, all the characters start with G, R and M.
We cannot know how many characters were actually created by Martin and how many were invented later by Hidetaka Miyazaki, it must be said, but it seems difficult that it is a coincidence that all those names start with one of George RR's initials Martin.
In any case, there are many other characters in the game and, of course, their names start with the most disparate letters. The plot and the missions revolve around so many characters that in some moments it is advisable to take some notes, between one dialogue and another of Elden Ring.
Staying in theme with the game but moving away from the lore and moving towards pure gameplay, we report what happened to a player: he obtained 86 million runes with an invasion and decided to start over.

Elden Ring: How to get and use Ashes of War
One of the major new features of Elden Ring when compared to older FromSoftware games is the introduction of the Ashes of War system. There's a lot to unpack when it comes to using the Ashes of War, and if you're new, it can be a bit overwhelming. Don't worry, we're here to break everything down for you.
In Elden Ring, Ashes of War are essentially a major evolution of the Weapon Arts system in Dark Souls 3, with some important refinements. Ashes of War allow a player to change out a Weapon Skill (or special move) as well as altering the Affinity of a weapon at the same time. As an example, depending on the specific Ashes used, you can add Fire damage to a weapon while adding a slashing arc attack, at the cost of reducing the weapon's scaling and whatever Skill is currently applied.
This range of options helps to make Elden Ring one of the best Xbox games available right now, but it can definitely be a lot to keep track of.
There are many different Ashes of War, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, but every one of these Ashes falls into a particular type. You can see a list of the different types below:
It's also important to understand that there are different restrictions on what kind of Ashes of War can be applied to what kind of weapon. Generally speaking, unique weapons such as the Moonveil Greatsword cannot be altered with Ashes of War.
Unlike in past games, weapons with different kinds of Affinity do not require different kinds of upgrade materials. Instead, everything uses Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones, so you won't be doing any complicated upgrade path breakdowns.
Elden Ring: How to get Ashes of WarThere are a lot of different Ashes of War, and they can be found scattered all across the various regions in the Lands Between. White Teardrop Scarabs drop different Ashes, so be sure to kill any of these that you see. They can be found everywhere, and you'll hear a very distinct, high-pitched humming sound if you're in the vicinity of one. They'll try to roll away and disappear, so if you aren't able to get one, you'll need to leave and reload the area.
Early on, you can also head to the Warmaster's Shack, as the titular NPC at the shack sells several Ashes of War. You can see his shack marked at the map below:
Ashes of War can also be found on very specific bosses and unique enemies. It's also possible to find or buy duplicates of some Ashes of War, but don't depend on this, as duplicates will still be rare and difficult to find.
Elden Ring: How to use Ashes of WarTo apply Ashes of War and change out a Weapon Skill, you'll need to acquire the Whetstone Knife. This can be found very early on in the game, as it's in a chest at the Gatefront Ruins. This is the ruined barracks right beside the Site of Grace where you'll get Torrent, your horse. Once you have the Whetstone Knife, simply use the Ashes of War menu option when resting at any Site of Grace.
You'll also need to collect various Whetblades to apply the varying Affinities alongside Ashes of War on different kinds of weapons. There are two exceptions: You can apply any Ashes of War to Standard weapons without a whetblade, and you can apply Ashes of War to the matching type of weapon without a whetblade. As an example, if you want to apply Ash of War: Carian Greatsword with Standard or Magic Affinity, you don't need a whetblade. If you wanted to apply it with Quality however, you'd need the Iron Whetblade.
Here's the list of whetblades and what Affinities they are used for:
If you don't want to risk not having some of the Ashes of War you acquire throughout the game, you're in luck. You can use duplication to get multiple versions of whichever of the Ashes of War you're eager to keep. To duplicate Ashes of War, you'll want to find some Lost Ashes of War. These are a rare resource used up in the duplication process.
Once you have Lost Ashes of War, head to the Table of Lost Grace. Talk to Blacksmith Hewg and select the Ash of War Duplication option. Choose carefully what to duplicate, as each duplication will use up one of the Lost Ashes of War.
Keep exploringElden Ring offers more options for player choice and customization than in any prior FromSoftware games, and a huge part of that is the expansive Ashes of War system. Just take your time to consider what you want to upgrade or try out, and in no time you'll find something that suits your build.
