Elden Ring is a stunning open world game by FromSoftware, creator of the Dark Souls series. Although Elden Ring takes place in a universe completely separate from the Souls games, It shares much of the tough and exciting gameplay that the Souls games and Bloodborne have become known for. Unlike the Souls games, Elden Ring takes place in an open world full of mysteries and surprises. George R. R. Martin, creator of the 'Game of Thrones' universe, has provided story elements to the game.

Facts
- Ashes of War can be freely reassigned between weapons.
- The Spirit Calling Bell allows summoning spirits. You can get it at the Church of Elleh in Limgrave at night after getting the Spectral Steed. Later in the game, you can buy it from the Twin Maiden Husks in the Roundtable Hold.
- Hold D-pad down to switch back to the first item.
- While mounted, you can switch to your left hand weapon/shield by Triangle+L1.
- You can jump down into a Spirit Spring to avoid fall damage.
- The Guard Boost on a shield determines the damage enemy attacks do to your Stamina when blocking.
- Holy damage kills skeleton enemies without them resurrecting.
- Warp to Roundtable Hold from map screen by pressing triangle, square.
- Remembrances are 'Boss Souls'. You can get Enia (who's next to the Two Fingers monstrocity) to exchange them for equipment, or you can cash them in for 20,000 - 50,000 runes. Before doing so, you can duplicate them at a Walking Mausoleum. There are 7 Walking Mausoleums, and you can only use each once.
- Rune Arcs are like Humanities, they yield a stat bonus until you die. They can be farmed from Rats. Unlike Humanities, the bonus yielded by Rune Arcs depend upon which Great Rune you have equipped. Great Runes are dropped by the Demigods (main bosses), and need to be restored in a corresponding Divine Tower before they can be equipped.

- This ring is the 'Ring of Oath' that you can use to progress from 'Grand Cloister'
- The Remembrance from killing Rykard gives the Blasphemous Blade or a sorcery with high INT requirement. The Blasphemous Blade is an good Faith scaling Greatsword, which could be very interesting.
- The 'Rotten Breath' Incantation inflicts Scarlet Rot. It can be purchased at Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid for a Dragon Heart.
- The 'Bestial Vitality' Incantation heals 600 HP over time. It is a Deathroot reward from Gurranq at Bestial Sanctum.

Analysis
Elden Ring Recording Nightmare
I have a problem with Elden Ring.I immensely enjoy playing and recording the game. This is turning into a problem.
- I have set the Elgato 4KS+ to record at 80,000 Kbps = 80 Mbps = 10 MB/s = 60*60*10 GB/h = 36 GB/h
- My videos are typically a little less than an hour, which ends up around 30 GB
- YouTube processing of a 30G 4K HDR video currently takes 1-3 days, on average around 2 days
In the last 22 days, I have recorded over 33 hours of elden ring, which ends up around 1.5 hour / day. While I'm slowly uploading edited videos to YouTube and waiting for them to process, I have currently a nightmarish 1.2 TB of raw Elden Ring footage on my SSD, slowly filling up the 2 TB.
I have 3 options:
- Buy more SSDs. This might impact my bank account too much.
- Record less Elden Ring. This is barely an option, the game is just too good.
- Edit the videos harder, so YouTube only have to process roughly a third of the footage. I should probably go with that one.
- The whole recording space issue was starting to annoy me, so I went with option 1 and bought a 4 TB SSD instead. That should allow for more than 100 hours of footage.
- Retroactively, I have decided that my silly recording from April 2nd represents Templor having a lapse into complete insanity. This could be a recurring event, enabling me to experiment with some of the more silly weapon and equipment combinations.
