At the heart of the game is how the fight for power brought devastation to The Lands Between.<\/p>\n<p>As a Tarnished, you must fulfil the destiny bestowed by Queen Marika to return to the lands to seek out fragments of the Elden Ring and restore its power. This guide looks at the game&#8217;s main story and the bosses you need to defeat to progress in Elden Ring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is the main story of Elden Ring?<\/h2>\n<p>Elden Ring is FromSoftware&#8217;s most expansive game released, which features a beautiful open-world environment, well-designed characters and a rich narrative that connects all characters. With many interconnecting stories tying into the main narrative, a few are linked to one of the possible endings in Elden Ring.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/aXE1rcOLdzRFKW2ZgaL7TC8JWLqgtKjh0H-Dn6-xLy0\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL2VsZGVuX3JpbmdfZWxkZW5fdGhyb25lX2Zyb21zb2Z0d2FyZS5qcGc\" alt=\"elden ring main story explained&nbsp;elden throne elden ring great runes\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Acquire all the Great Runes and restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord.

Then, a cataclysmic event occurred, which led to the Shattering of the Elden Ring, whose shards took the form of Great Runes and were given to each of Marika&#8217;s offspring.<\/p>\n<p>As each of her offspring ruled a domain or region within The Lands Between, they fought with each other to obtain other Great Runes, plunging the region into a civil war. Unfortunately, the power contained within each Great Rune corrupted her family, leaving them disfigured and extremely powerful.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/j-S8ZE4WUMZXdDoSQPujI3eVptiq-yfG4XZMHGrcJ0M\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL0VsZGVuUmluZ0dvbGRlblRyZWUuanBn\" alt=\"elden ring main story explained the lands between erdtree\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Return Tarnished to The Lands Between to seek the Elden Ring.

It will also help beginners and Soulsborne veterans understand this region and make use of those precious few hours more forgiving.<\/p>\n<h3>Choose your class wisely<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/sivDrJQqajKeEP2Pd6F4W75c65wcLXeK3VoUIMHRPUw\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL0VsZGVuX1JpbmdfU2xlZXBpbmdfUG90LmpwZw\" alt=\"elden ring guide early game tips character class choose \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Elden Ring features ten distinct classes to fit every playstyle. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Your character class is the most crucial decision you&#8217;ll make in Elden Ring, so take enough time before committing to one. If you have a specific build in mind, select one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/all-10-elden-ring-classes\">ten available classes<\/a> that complement your playstyle based on their weapons, skills and abilities, armour and character level progression.<\/p>\n<p>At some point during the game, there will be an opportunity to reset your character&#8217;s stats if it doesn&#8217;t fit with the playstyle you wanted or to correct an error made when levelling. But be prepared for the impending boss battle to make this mechanic available.<\/p>\n<h3>Explore Limgrave to its maximum<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/mtM0ywLBIgccElHHtZj55X9xsh-ti4uz1b7ErJPpgX0\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL0VsZGVuUmluZ2luc2lkZTEuanBn\" alt=\"elden ring guide early game tips limgrave sub region explore\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Explore every corner, cave and ruin in the Limgrave region to help level your character and equipment faster. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Limgrave is the first sub-region we explore and starts our journey in Elden Ring. This sub-region is vast and gorgeous but contains cliffs, beachfront, vistas and plenty of caves worth exploring.<\/p>\n<p>This is critical as going off the beaten path to level up as much as possible will help you challenge the many bosses you encounter in-game. With various merchants and an abundance of materials that will help level up your character, weapons and gear found across Limgrave, it&#8217;s best to take advantage in the early game to get stronger sooner.<\/p>\n<h3>Prioritise your equipment<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/yDK-L2_V0Wf00WHLZi8kYdf1L1_s2XvWiBN8i7swE40\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL0VsZGVuUmluZ1dlYXBvbnNBc2hlc1N3b3JkLmpwZw\" alt=\"elden ring guide early game tips equipment weapons gear armour\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">You should prioritise your equipment as much as character levelling in Elden Ring. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While we heavily emphasise being mindful of which class to choose and how to level your character, your equipment should also take precedence. Indeed, it&#8217;s vital to strengthen your attributes to make facing bosses much easier, but the weapons you wield and gear your wear will help you survive these encounters much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your preferred build, you&#8217;ll want weapons and gear that best suit your playstyle. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/elden-ring-smithing-stones-guide\">finding enough Smithing Stones<\/a> and Runes can help you bolster your equipment and turn the tide in those important boss battles.<\/p>\n<h3>Best to roll out of harm&#8217;s way<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/AqORyZgN4_MN9Nm1QX5kLz1NE8KkmHSURoZV61Ooruo\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL2VsZGVuX3JpbmdfYmVzdF9zaGllbGRfYmF0dGxlX2Zyb21zb2Z0d2FyZS5KUEc\" alt=\"elden ring early game tips rolling shielding\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">If you don&#8217;t own a 100% shield early in the game, use rolling to avoid tough enemy confrontations or deadly attacks. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Going into a boss battle with reliable equipment and a strategy in mind can be proven effective. However, depending on your preferred class, you may equip yourself with an ineffective shield that can be more detrimental than helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Learning to roll to avoid massive boss attacks or evade unwanted conflict is necessary to implement early in the game. It will also help if you&#8217;re not over-encumbered with equipment to roll from harm as it will consume your stamina.<\/p>\n<h3>Master enemy patterns from every battle<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/3K_zj9juNpiXX1PD6Y1ruObmMF8iB4hJ27xQRwKSQ_w\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL0VsZGVuX1JpbmdfR29kcmljay5qcGc\" alt=\"elden ring early game tips boss battle godrick the grafted\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">When engaged in battle with an enemy or boss, learn their attack patterns to avoid making detrimental mistakes. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Encountering any one of the many boss battles can be scary, but understanding every boss&#8217;s attacks, abilities, and unique skills can give you an advantage before the battle begins. Learning their attacks and countering them is one of the many differences between failure and success.<\/p>\n<p>Dying at their hands may be the worst thing to happen during your gameplay, but it allows you to change your strategy to counter their attacks better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Use markers on your World Map<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/eHzkI-CRWCulsp4ypOVsntRst1iBdJcL6v-s6VJUEW8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9FbGRlbl9SaW5nL2VsZGVuX3JpbmdfYmVzdF9zaGllbGRfYmVhc3RfY3Jlc3RfaGVhdGVyX21hcF9sb2NhdGlvbl95b3V0dWJlLkpQRw\" alt=\"elden ring early game tips world map markers site of grace\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The World Map of The Lands Between is massive in scale. (Picture: FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Elden Ring may not possess a mini-map, but players can mark off essential points of interest they wish to explore or revisit. It also helps you find your way back should you get lost, which you can utilise a Site of Grace or Torrent to get there faster.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t forget to heal Torrent<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe useless information, but many have formed bonds with their spectral steed, Torrent. Taking good care of Torrent may not be highly prioritised, but many players have grown to adore Torrent.<\/p>\n<p>Torrent does take some damage and will delete its HP, so feeding the steed some Rowa Raisins will make Torrent happy for doing this but replenish its HP. So please don&#8217;t say we didn&#8217;t warn you.<\/p>\n<div style=\"left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; max-width: 650px;\" data-ephox-embed-iri=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OT8if6DXOFQ\"><iframe style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OT8if6DXOFQ?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OT8if6DXOFQ?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/OT8if6DXOFQ\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Once the bosses have been defeated, the Tarnished can progress with concluding the game&#8217;s main story and decide the fate of The Lands Between by choosing your ending.

She now works full-time with GINX and can often be found exploring the worlds of Palia,&nbsp; Conan Exiles, Elder Scrolls Online, and Elden Ring while trying to reach Infinite rank in Marvel Snap. Whilst she has seen improvements at farming in Stardew Valley (much thanks to Palia), Ashleigh more than makes up for it by being a decent Blastoise trainer in Pokemon GO. While her gaming adventures take her to unique locations, she actively enjoys following trending stories within the Entertainment industry, just don't ask why her Letterboxd hasn't seen an entry in a while. If you manage to catch Ash in between playing games and watching Marvel or Star Wars shows, you can forward any gaming and entertainment news, tips, and tricks to her via email or on social media.","url":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/author\/ashleigh-klein"}]}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
