“The drip is so hard”: Elden Ring’s Most Underappreciated Weapon Is Finally Getting Some Love More Than 2 Years After Launch
Elden Ring greatswords are some of the most popular weapons to acquire during the game, but in this process, one potent greatsword was ignored.
- After two years of its release, Elden Ring players are appreciating one greatsword that was in the game from the beginning.
- Though the stats of the weapon are less impressive than several others, it still can be a great companion during the journey.
- Now that FromSoftware is done with Shadow of the Erdtree, players are excited to see what it is planning to bring next.
Since Elden Ring was released in 2022, the game has never gone out of discussion. Mostly because it was a complete departure from the style that Soulsborne series players experienced previously. What Hidetaka Miyazaki created in Elden Ring was beyond imagination. The game blends the best elements from its predecessors to give players the highest satisfactory experience possible.
Exploring the Lands Between is never-ending, with a vast open world to roam around. Anyway, without weapons, that’s impossible and the decision is tough when the game provides you with numerous weapon choices. Therefore, an underrated weapon gaining some popularity years after the game’s release doesn’t seem surprising.
An Initially Ignored Elden Ring Greatsword Is Receiving Popularity After Two Years
Elden Ring players are well aware that the game has a long list of weapons, and very naturally, not all of them are equally effective against enemies. Even some of these weapons are easily missable. Helphen’s Steeple is among those greatswords that got suppressed by the popularity of Blasphemous Blade, Dark Moon Greatsword, etc.
Scaled with Strength, Intelligence, and Dexterity, Helphen’s Steeple is used to deal additional magic damage. Initially, this weapon used to be one of the most underrated weapons, but surprisingly, after two years, players realized this weapon to be one of their potent companions.
On Reddit, someone first raised the topic that, though no one says it, this weapon is “pretty good.” Astonishingly, the comment section revealed that a lot of Elden Ring players think the same way.
Some revealed that they dual-wielded it on their first NG+, and although this greatsword doesn’t have many effective stats, they enjoy playing with it.
While some players have been wondering why this greatsword didn’t get love like others, some clarified the reason, saying it can’t shoot projectiles and the Dark Moon Greatsword becomes available sooner than it.
However, even though Hidetaka Miyazaki messed up several things in Elden Ring, players are eagerly waiting to get something new from FromSoftware.
After Elden Ring, What Is Hidetaka Miyazaki Preparing for FromSoftware Fans?
After Elden Ring revolutionized the Soulsborne series by FromSoftware, the expansion Shadow of the Erdtree continued this tradition well. This is not only the finest DLC ever made by FromSoftware, despite players being unhappy with multiple aspects, but also a potent contender to get the Game of the Year award (if a DLC is applicable to get it).
However, players who have experienced both the base game and the DLC are now excited to get the next masterpiece by Hidetaka Miyazaki. In recent times, most FromSoftware games, especially the games from the Soulsborne series, have taken different turns (of course, a few exceptions like Armored Core VI exist) to give players new experiences. This has taken the expectations to a new height.
Well, FromSoftware is entirely silent about its new projects. What it is currently working on isn’t yet revealed. However, because Miyazaki is there and he’s using his creative mind to develop and design these games, players may get some ground-breaking experiences.
The graphics and design of the NPCs in Shadow of the Erdtree, especially the bosses, have won the hearts of the fans. Whether FromSoftware will be able to match the expectations or not can’t be revealed unless some official announcement of its upcoming game comes.
