If Elden Ring has seduced the majority of players with its glorious open world, undertaking a playthrough is however not an easy task. Between the gigantic map, the countless bloodthirsty enemies and the obscure dialogues, it is not easy to travel serenely in the Underworld.
Fortunately, FromSoftware and Future Press have everything planned, since a two-volume strategy guide – already available for pre-order – is planned for the end of the summer. A treasure trove of information for the curious and collectors.
