Red Dead Redemption 2: How to Use Cover

AOTF Staff — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 21:18:30 +0000

Using cover in Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to be essential to staying alive in a shootout. There are many shooting sections in the game where you’ll be fighting against waves of enemies who have all got you in their sights. Utilizing the cover feature will give you a better chance of staying alive and it can be used on all types of things. Here is how to use cover in Red Dead Redemption 2.

How to Use Cover in Red Dead Redemption 2

To use cover in Red Dead Redemption 2 you will use the RB/R1 button to hide behind a nearby wall, structure, or object. You can then use the Right Stick to look around while in cover and use the Left Stick to break out of cover. To move around while remaining in cover you can use the X/Square button to transition to the other side of cover or the next available cover.

Using cover is vital to surviving some of the harder and longer gun battles in the game. Just remember that you need to press RB just once to enter into cover and then you can use the sticks to look around or move.

Shooting from cover functions similarly to how it does when you are not in cover. You can also still use your Dead Eye ability while behind cover or use the cover to get some extra time to consume a tonic or food item while being pinned down by gunfire.

When Should You Exit Cover in Red Dead Redemption 2?

Knowing when to come out of cover is as important as knowing how and when to use it. As previously mentioned, the game will throw waves of enemies at you, making taking cover the only way to survive. When you’re in cover, it can be intimidating as your enemies rain down bullets toward your location. Getting the timing down on when to exit cover can be challenging, but it’s all about keeping an eye on your enemies.

Just like you, your opponent needs to reload their guns. Stay in cover as your enemies unload their clips, and when they stop shooting and go to reload, this is when you come out of cover and take aim. If you’re quick enough, you can take out a handful of enemies as they try to reload their guns.

Entering and exiting cover will eventually become second nature as you practice to get the timing down. Just keep reading your opponent’s every move, and you’ll start to see the perfect moment to make your move.

Red Dead Redemption 2: How to Aim Down Sights and Use Iron Sights

AOTF Staff — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 19:19:39 +0000

Red Dead Redemption 2 was clearly designed as a third person game, but you don’t have to play it that way if you don’t want to. You can play the game in first person view as well and when you do that you can also shoot from the aim down sight view, by using the d-pad.

Aiming Down Sights in Red Dead Redemption 2

If you want to go into first person mode in Red Dead Redemption 2 for a really immersive experience you can do so by changing the camera by pressing the back button. This will cycle through a couple of alternate views as well. Once you’re in first person mode, you can then aim down sights when you have a weapon drawn by pressing down on the d-pad. Shooting does feel a bit more natural with being to aim down sights in first person. Aim Down Sights in First Person Mode is a toggle switch. You will need to hold the LT/L2 button to aim your weapon and then once aiming you can press up to look down the sights of the weapon. This will be your default view when shooting until you toggle back. While using ADS in Red Dead Redemption 2 you can still use all the features of third person, which includes Dead Eye and its different capabilities.

Best Aiming Sensitivity Settings

Whether you’re aiming down sights or playing the standard way, having the best sensitivity settings for aiming is essential. While Red Dead Redemption 2 has pretty solid settings as default, they definitely could be better to improve aiming speed and accuracy. Below are the best sensitivity settings to improve your aim in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Look Sensitivity – 75%
Aim Sensitivity – 75%
Aim/Look Acceleration – 90%
Aim/Look Dead Zone – 00%

When moving your sights to an intended target, these settings will increase your accuracy and speed. If these settings aren’t working for you, feel free to adjust them a tad to get the best feel for your play style.

Upgrading weapons and guns in Red Dead Redemption is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is head to the nearest gun store, interact with the store worker, and select the customize option. The good news is that finding a gun store is as simple as heading to the nearest town, and the game has a lot of towns to choose from.

Opening up the customize option will allow you to improve your favorite weapons and guns while not costing too much in-game money. Make sure you clean your weapon first at the gunsmith, or else he will refuse to upgrade the firearm for you.

Players can choose whichever part of the gun they would like to upgrade, with each piece specializing in a specific stat. For example, upgrading the Iron Sights will make the gun better at long range and more accurate.

How to Block Punches in Red Dead Redemption 2

AOTF Staff — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 16:47:40 +0000

Combat in Red Dead Redemption 2 generally plays out as a shootout, but sometimes you only need your fists to settle a dispute. Hand-to-hand combat can quickly turn into a fight for your life in Red Dead Redemption 2, and one of the most important skills a player can learn is how to block punches effectively. Here’s how to successfully block oncoming points in Red Dead Redemption 2.

How to Master Blocking in Red Dead Redemption 2

It isn’t hard to start a fistfight in Red Dead Redemption 2, and more often than not, you’ll instigate one by accident by walking into someone who’s had too much to drink. Once the fists start flying, your choices are run or fight, and pulling a gun on your opponent is a great way to get a bounty on your head. If you want to become a master of justified self-defense, you’ll need to learn how to block.

You can block punches by pressing the Square button on the PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2, the B button on the Xbox One version, and the R key on the Windows version. While it may be tempting to try and take your opponent down fast by unleashing a flurry of punches on them, blocking is the best way to win fistfights in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Most of your opponents tend to keep up their guard until they have a chance to retaliate, so you’ll want to keep blocking until you can turn the tables on them. One of the best ways to do this is by blocking right when they’re about to punch you, which can cause them to stagger and give you an opening to land a few good punches before they get their guard back up.

Fistfights in Red Dead Redemption 2 are a careful balancing act that requires you to know when to stick and when to hold back. There’s no penalty for keeping your block up too long, so be patient and wait for your opponent to make a mistake before you lower your defenses and go for a finishing blow.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Where to Find Rare Horses

AOTF Staff — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 17:04:40 +0000

Red Dead Redemption 2 has a vast array of horses for you to choose from, and you will no doubt develop a great bond with them over time — some people are also interested in finding the rarest horses. There is plenty of opportunity for you to look around the open world for rare horses which you think would make a great fit for you. This article will take you through where to find rare horses in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Rarest Horse Locations in Red Dead Redemption 2

There are two extremely rare horses to find in Red Dead Redemption 2. These two horses can’t be bought or earned through quests like the Serial Killer Mystery locations. The two horses are the Tiger Striped Bay Coat Mustang and The White Coat Arabian.

The specific locations of each of these horses vary and it can take a lot of time to find the rare horses during natural exploration. Instead, we have made sure to showcase an image showcasing the map location of where you can find a specific rare horse such as the Tiger Striped Bay Coat Mustang horse. The red crosshairs are where you should travel in order to start your search.

The Tiger Striped Bay Coat Mustang Location

Image: Attack of the Fanboy

The Tiger Striped Bay Coat Mustang can only be found in New Austin. Other Mustangs can be found throughout the world, but this one only can be found in one area of the game. Look for this rare horse in the Eastern part of the Rio Bravo Region. To find it, search the bluffs just west of Rio Del Lobo Rock.

Once you spot the horse, you’re going to need to lasso it and then go through the breaking process to actually ride it. You will then need to work on bonding with the horse to get it to its best performance. Though it isn’t a Superior Horse, it is one of the most unique horses in the game.

The Arabian White Coat Location

Image: Attack of the Fanboy

The Arabian White Coat is a pretty horse. All white, this horse can be found up in Grizzlies West on the Western banks of Lake Isabella. This gorgeous horse is hard to find but easy to spot as it is all white. Just like any other wild horse, to catch it, you need to lasso it before it tries to get away and then start the breaking process to make it your own.

Other semi-rare horses include the Hungarian Half-Bred, which can be found in a couple of places: Northwest of Blackwater and Cholla Springs. The Mustang can be found North of Armadillo and East of Armadillo, as well as in Rio Bravo and The Heartlands.

Now that you know where to find the rarest horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, you can begin the search with great prowess once again.

AOTF Staff — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 00:02:34 +0000

Pokémon Infinite Fusion is a popular fan-made game that allows players to combine their Pokémon to create new and unique fusions. With over 170,000 possible combinations, 40 side quests, and multiple regions, Infinite Fusion is one of the most ambitious fan projects to date.

In official Pokémon titles, players that complete their Pokédex are typically awarded the Shiny Charm and a firm pat on the back. Pokémon Infinite Fusion takes this one step further and allows the player to access the Debug Menu via the Magic Boots once you’ve caught ’em all.

This guide covers everything you need to know to get your hands on the Magic Boots in Pokémon Infinite Fusion, including the best ways to use them and even how to get them early using Cheat Engine.

How to Get the Magic Boots in Pokemon Infinite Fusion

To unlock the Magic Boots in Pokémon Infinite Fusion, you must catch and register all 420 Pokémon in the base game.

Once your Pokédex is complete, head to Celadon City and talk to the Game Developer NPC to receive the Magic Boots and unlock Debug Mode.

Talking to Debug Fish after obtaining the boots will transport you to Debug Island, where you can easily access various commands, such as acquiring a specific fusion or giving yourself heaps of cash.

How to Use Cheat Engine to Get Magic Boots Early in Pokemon Infinite Fusion

Using the third-party program Cheat Engine, players can obtain the Magic Boots in Pokémon Infinite Fusion at any point of the game without meeting the complete Pokédex requirement.

Warning: Take extreme caution when using Cheat Engine, as many online games run anti-cheat software in the background and can suspend your account for simply having it downloaded.

Launch Pokémon Infinite Fusion and purchase two Potions.
Deposit a Potion in your PC — you do not need to do this if there is one there already.
Launch Cheat Engine and open Pokémon Infinite Fusion inside the program.
In the Hex box, type 3 and click First scan
In Pokémon Infinite Fusion, deposit another Potion into your PC.
Type 5 into the Hex box in Cheat Engine and click Next Scan.
Withdraw a Potion from your PC.
Type 3 into the Hex box and click Next Scan.
You should now only see one address in the Found box on the left of Cheat Engine.
Right-click the address and click Browse this memory region.
Click anywhere on the top line and press the up arrow key once.
Look for 0C 1B 78 02 — this may appear differently in future versions but should always be nine places away from the final number in the code.
Change 0C 1B 78 02 to 02 2B A9 03.
Close the window and return to Pokémon Infinite Fusion.
Withdraw Magic Boots from the PC.

Elden Ring: Should You Join Volcano Manor?

AOTF Staff — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 20:10:00 +0000

Elden Ring is a massive game with seemingly endless areas to explore and countless cryptic NPCs to meet. Sometimes these characters will ask you to complete a quest for them, but other times, they ask you questions that require a larger chunk of commitment. When exploring Mt. Gelmir in the latter half of Elden Ring, you’ll come across an NPC that asks you to join Volcano Manor. The manor itself is a strange place, but this optional commitment can open up some exciting new gameplay elements in your Elden Ring adventure. Here are the pros and cons of joining Volcano Manor in Elden Ring.

Should You Join Volcano Manor in Elden Ring?

You should absolutely join Volcano Manor in Elden Ring. Joining Volcano Manor will unlock an entirely new questline that leads to unique boss fights, NPC encounters, and items that you wouldn’t have access to otherwise. It’s also one of the best quests in all of Elden Ring, too. If you’d rather not join Volcano Manor, then declining the offer doesn’t have any negative repercussions either. If you want more content, however, then you should join.

Volcano Manor also holds the key to PVP in Elden Ring. Joining Volcano Manor will allow you to obtain the Recusant Finger item, which allows for unlimited PVP invasions similar to the Bloody Finger that you can earn from White Mask Varre.

If you do join Volcano Manor, you will receive a key that will unlock access to a new room called the Drawing Room. There are multiple new NPCs to meet in the Drawing Room of Volcano Manor, including a character who will sell you new Ashes of War for your weapons. Here’s where you can find the Recusant Finger as well.

After collecting the Recusant Finger in the Drawing Room, you can pick up the “Letter From Volcano Manor” item on the table which will give you the name and location of a Tarnished NPC that you must invade and defeat. These assassination contracts are a core part of the Volcano Manor questline, and killing these targets will eventually lead you to a secret boss that cannot be fought via any other means.

After reading the leader in your inventory, the target’s location will be marked on your map with a red icon. The first NPC that you’re sent after is named Old Knight Istvan, and he can be found in Limgrave. Heading out to the quest area, you will find a red summoning sign on the ground. Use this to invade Old Knight Istvan’s world. If you defeat him, you will get the Scaled Armor SetElden Ring Armor: The 10 Best Armor Sets & How to Get Them as a reward. You can then head back to the Volcano Manor after completing this task to the Magma Shot.

Once Old Knight Istvan is defeated, you can keep collecting letters from the Drawing Room in Volcano Manor to learn the locations of additional assassination targets. Finding and defeating these Tarnished targets will progress the Volcano Manor storyline, allowing you to learn more about the characters found within the Manor and their fight against the Erdtree.

Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Minecraft How to Make Smooth Stone

AOTF Staff — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 17:21:32 +0000

In Minecraft, you can harvest different types of stone building blocks and then further refine the material into smooth stone through crafting. Cobblestone is the most common type of stone, which you can find fairly easily and with early game equipment. In this guide, we’ll take you step by step through the process of making smooth stone in Minecraft and what items you’ll need to do this. After you work out how to play split-screen in Minecraft, you may even want to do this with a friend. There are three key things that you are going to need to make smooth stone in Minecraft. They are Stone, Coal, and a Furnace. Let’s go through step by step how to get each one.

Making Smooth Stone in Minecraft

The three main things that you will actually need to make Smooth Stone in the game are Coal, a furnace, and of course — stone. These items may seem all very easy to get to a well-rounded player but if you have forgotten or if someone is just getting their bearings with the game, it may take some time to actually work out.

Listed below in separate sections are written instructions on how to obtain each of the key items you will need to make the Smooth Stone and along with that the steps for making the stone itself.

Step 1: Get Cobblestone

As we explained above, Cobblestone is the most common type of stone that you can get at almost any time. You’ll need Cobblestone for a couple of things here. First, this is the stone that you are going to use to craft a furnace. Second, it’s the stone that you are going to refine into Smooth Stone.

Step 2: Get Coal

Coal is also a fairly common thing in Minecraft and you’ll need it to get your furnace running. You’ll find plenty of coal in and around stone areas. Simply look for the blocks that have black specks in them and you’ll get coal.

Step 3: Build the Furnance

You can build the Furnace by using 8 Cobblestone blocks in the crafting menu. Every block should be filled except the middle one to craft the Furnace.

Step 4: Use Furnace to Turn Cobblestone into Stone

Once you’ve got your furnace built you’re going to need something to put into it. Coal is a good source of energy for the furnace and it’s abundant so we’ll use the coal that we found above and put it into the bottom slot of the furnace. In the top slot you’re going to want to put your Cobblestone that you have left over. Once you put both items in the furnace you will see that the flames are burning and that signals that the Cobblestone is being turned into Stone.

Step 5: Use Furnace Again to Turn Stone into Smooth Stone

To get Smooth Stone you actually have to take this a step further and repeat the exact same process. You’ll take the Stone that you create in your first run with the furnace and then add coal and the result will be Smooth Stone. Now that you know how to make Smooth Stone, you may even want to learn how to make paper in Minecraft too.

Minecraft is available at this very moment for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and PC.

In this guide we’ll explain what you need to do to access the DLC content for Cuphead in The Delicious Last Course.

How to Access Delicious Last Course Content in Cuphead

This new content will not unlock if you’ve never played Cuphead before or if you played the game previously on a different platform than you are playing on for the DLC.

This can be done from the main menu of the game under the DLC section. Selecting this option will show you if the DLC is installed or not. Assuming that it is installed, you will then need to complete a Mausoleum stage to gain access to a special character that you need to speak with. If you’re playing for the first time and want to see the new content, you should only need to play a couple of stages to access the new content. The quickest way to do this is by completing the first two objectives areas: Botanic Panic and then Clip Joint Calamity, from there access to the first Mausoleum will be available. This character will be located outside of the first Mausoleum near a boat that will take you to the new island. Once accessible simply speak with the character who will tell you that your help is needed on a far off mysterious destination. You will then be treated to a brand new cutscene, after which you will gain access to the new character and new content. And that’s all you need to know about accessing the new DLC for Cuphead in The Delicious Last Course.

How to Sign Up for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Beta

AOTF Staff — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 17:35:12 +0000

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has officially been fully revealed and fans now have a clear picture of what the next game in the series will be. Ahead of the October 28th release of Modern Warfare 2 there will be an open beta that allows fans to take the game for a test drive ahead of launch. If you’re looking for details on how to sign-up for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta we’ve got you covered with all of the information you need.

How to Sign Up for the Modern Warfare 2 Beta

If you’re really interested in being one of the first to get to play the Modern Warfare 2 Beta you’re going to need to pre-order the game on one of the available platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, or on PC. This will give you early access to the Modern Warfare beta. All of the aforementioned platforms will have a beta, regardless of whether you pre-order the game on a digital storefront or physically. Activision says there is no code redemption necessary for pre-orders on PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, or through Battle.net. Once the beta goes live, you’ll automatically get access to the game if you’ve pre-ordered digitally. If you opt for the physical pre-order, Activision says that the retailer will likely either print the beta access code on your receipt or email you your code with access to the Modern Warfare 2 beta.

When is the Modern Warfare 2 Beta

There has been no release date for the Modern Warfare 2 beta, but it’s likely that the beta will run weeks ahead of the actual release of the game which is set for late October. Like other Call of Duty betas, you will need to enter your code on the Call of Duty website so if you haven’t already created an account there you will need to do so and link it to your platform of choice. So for now there isn’t much you need to do to get access to the beta other than pre-ordering the game if you want to get early access. After the early access period it’ll likely just be accessible on all platforms for a limited time.

Elden Ring: How to Complete Thops Quest

AOTF Staff — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 05:46:41 +0000

Thops Quest in Elden Ring is one that you’ll encounter fairly early-on in the game as you make your way towards the Raya Lucaria Academy. The NPC can be found at a nearby church and he’ll task you with finding an Academy Key which ultimately will lead to the completion of the quest which will earn you some good items for a Sorcerer build. In this guide we’ll explain exactly what you need to do to complete Thops Quest in Elden Ring.

How to Complete Thops Quest

Visit Thops at Church of Irith
Get 2nd Academy Key
Bring the Key Back to Church of Irith
Find Thops’ remains at the Academy

Thops Quest Video Walkthrough

First you’ll need to visit Thops at the Church of Irith just north of Stormveil Castle. He’ll give you the information that tells you that you’ll need to find a second key to the Raya Lucaria Academy. This key is actually located in the Academy itself in an area that you might not explore if you don’t go off the beaten path. Once you’ve beaten the Red Wolf it’s pretty easy to get to the key, but if you haven’t done that already you’ll need to.

Thops Quest Part II: Getting the Second Academy Key

The second part is getting the key. The easiest way to do this is from the Debate Parlor Site of Grace. You can simply fast travel here if already unlocked. When going out to the courtyard you’ll want to head left up to the broken staircase and then up the second flight of stairs past the sorcerers. Instead of heading straight through the building hook another left and jump over the railing to find two more sorcerers. You can easily run past these two and then to the left where you’ll need to jump over the railing. As you move past the skeleton warriors you’ll come to a ladder which will take you up to a walkway with three small fighters and a sorcerer. Again, you can run past these four enemies and then stay to the right and go around the corner and then jump off on to the building below. From there you’ll see two more skeleton warriors below, head towards the one on the right and then head around the walkway to find another long building with a skeleton warrior protecting it. You’ll find an open window here that you can jump in that will allow you to drop down onto a chandelier with the Academy Key. Once you have the key you can easily fast travel back to the Church of Irith. Talk to Thops and he’ll be happy that you’ve given him the key. He’ll head back to the Academy at that point. From there, if you want the rewards from this quest you can simply fast travel to the Schoolhouse Classroom. Backtrack towards the large water wheel and you’ll be able to snag Thops’ goods. Of course, if you manage to anger Thops you’ll need to get absolution with Celestial Dew. This includes Thops’s Bell Bearing, an Academy Glintstone Staff, and Thops’s Barrier. And that’s all you need to know to complete Thops’s quest in Elden Ring to get these powerful items.

Elden Ring: How to Use Ghost and Grave Glovewort

AOTF Staff — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 04:56:59 +0000

Ghost Glovewort and Grave Glovewort are a material in Elden Ring that you’ll find all across the world. You may have been picking up these items it may not be entirely clear where to use them. In this guide we’ll explain where you can use these items as special leveling materials to improve one of the most important weapons in Elden Ring.

How to Use Ghost Glovewort and Grave Glovewort in Elden Ring

Ghost Glovewort and Grave Glovewort are essentially crafting materials in Elden Ring. They are used to upgrade Sprit Ashes and which one you use depends on the type of Ashes you are trying to upgrade. Spirit Ashes come in two forms: Normal Spirit Ashes and Special Spirit Ashes. Grave Glovewort is required to upgrade normal Spirit Ashes, Ghost Glovewort is used to upgrade Special Spirit Ashes. Like Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones, Ghost and Grave Glovewort must be taken to an NPC vendor to upgrade Spirit Ashes. However, you must proceed far enough into the main story and advance the NPC dialogue to have this functionality enabled. The NPC that you’re going to need to proceed with is Roderika, Spirit Tuner. There will be numerous dialogue lines that must be advanced to ultimately get Roderika to take up Spirit Tuning and allow you to use her services. Once she is available to do so, she will be found in the Roundtable Hold and simply talking to her and selecting the Spirit Tuning option will allow you to spend these items on upgrades. Of course, you’ll need both the Ghost and Grave Glovewort as well as Runes to upgrade your Spirit Ashes. The higher you level the Spirit Ash summons the more rare the type of Glovewort you will need as well as the need for more runes. Elden Ring has released on the Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to widespread critical acclaim. Head to the Attack of the Fanboy Guides Hub for more Elden Ring Tips and Tricks.

AOTF Staff — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 04:40:59 +0000

Celestial Dew is an item that will allow you to gain absolution at the Church of Vows. This item can be found at various places in the world of Elden Ring and you’ll need to have a bit of it if you want to learn more about Absolution from the Pope Turtle at the Church of Vows. In this guide we’re going to explain where to get Celestial Dew and then how to use it to Revive NPCs and fix hostile characters in Elden Ring.

In this area, there is also a merchant which will sell you a second Celestial Dew. Other locations to get Celestial Dew include: Pidia The Merchant in Caria Manor, as well as four different corpses in different areas: These include the bottom of the ruins in Nokron Eternal City, a corpse in the ruins of Nokstella, a corpse in Night’s Sacred Ground in

How to Revive NPCs with Celestial Dew

If you aggro an NPC in Elden Ring they will no longer allow you to proceed on questlines or in the case of merchants, purchase their wares. The answer to reset these NPC characters is to use the Celestial Dew at the Church of Absolution. Once you’ve got a Celestial Dew in hand, simply head to the Turtle Pope at the Church to learn about absolution, at which point it will tell you to kneel in the well and offer the Celestial Dew for absolution. Once you do, you will find that the NPCs are friendly again. And that’s all you need to know about Fixing Hostile Characters in Elden Ring with Celestial Dew.

A good point of reference is if you can make it to the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace, but the spot you’re looking for will naturally be just before you find this Site of Grace. However, unlocking the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace will give you an easy path back to the boss fight in case you should die.

How to find the Secret Dragon boss in Elden Ring

From the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace you can simply head back down the elevator, back past the handful of enemies that you encountered on your way to the site of grace, but instead of heading back down the ramp to where the birds and dragon were initially, you will drop off the ledge into a series of rocks. Make your way down the rocky path to a series of floating platforms. In the middle of this main platform is an option to interact that says “Lie Down”. Once you lie down you will be transported to the boss fight. If you’re still having trouble the video above should give you a precise picture of where you need to go. The Dragonlord Placidusax fight is a tough one. We recommend using the Mimic Tear if you’re having problems because regardless of your level this boss hits hard and has a variety of melee and elemental attacks. The reward for beating Placidusax is the Remembrance of the Dragonlord and a whopping 280000 Runes. That’s all you need to know about where to find the Dragonlord Placidusax Secret Dragon Boss fight in Elden Ring.

Blaidd is one of the coolest NPCs in Elden Ring. He’s got an awesome (and powerful) Wolf Mask that you can use as a helmet as well as a pretty strong suit of armor and a powerful Royal Greatsword. While Blaidd will be friendly for the majority of Elden Ring, unfortunately you’re going to have to fight him if you want most of his armor pieces. In this guide we’ll explain what you need to do to get Blaidd’s Armor and Royal Greatsword.

How to Get Blaidd’s Armor and Sword in Elden Ring

Getting Blaidd’s Armor and Royal Greatsword in Elden Ring is no easy task, but a multi-step task that’s going to require a ton of exploration into places you may or may not have already been. You’re going to need to complete the majority of Ranni’s questline to even get the opportunity to fight Blaidd.

How to Get Treasure Above First Elden Lord – Golden Order Principia

AOTF Staff — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:23:43 +0000

Upon defeating the First Elden Lord in Elden Ring you come to an area above the area which you were fighting the boss. There is an item in a chair hanging from the ceiling and for magic users this item is a must have if you want to learn all of the incantations that are available. This item is called the Golden Order Principia and you can give to a cleric to learn new incantations so in this guide we’ll explain how you can quickly and easily get this item.

How to Get Golden Order Principia

While you might just want to forge ahead, as you come to the area in the image above where you see the chair hanging from the ceiling you’re going to want to head out of the door due north, but instead of following the path you’re going to want to hook and immediate left. From here you’ll drop down on the rooftop and then head up to the windows of the building and hop in. You’ll find tree branch that was blocking your way in the other room now available to climb. Walk up the branch towards the item and once you get close you can simply grab it and it’s yours for the taking. The item is the Golden Order Principia and it can be given to Cleric to learn new Incantations. At this stage in the game, it’s an important magic book to have so you might as well take a moment to track it down. In this same area you will find the Erdtree Bow in a treasure chest in the other direction. This path also opens up a path to get back to the First Elden Lord boss chamber which will allow you to navigate Leyndell a little easier. That’s everything you need to know about getting this slightly hidden item in Elden Ring. If you haven’t learned by now, taking a moment to explore the areas immediately around these out of reach items usually reveals some path to get them.

How to Remove Fia’s HP Debuff in Elden Ring

AOTF Staff — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:09:01 +0000

Fia’s HP Debuff is a sneaky mechanic in Elden Ring that you might not understand completely. In fact we wrote a PSA about it because her embrace helps you in one stat category but severely limits you in terms of overall health. So if you’ve accepted Fia’s embrace and you want to remove this debuff this guide will explain how to do just that.

How to Remove Fia’s HP Debuff

First let’s check to make sure you have the debuff. If you have the Red Square under your stat bars at the top of the screen you’ve likely hugged Fia. She’s given you an item that will temporarily boost your poise, but the tradeoff is that you have less HP. That debuff is 5% of your total health. To remove this you’ll need to use the blessing item that Fia gave you. This is called Baldachin’s Blessing and it can be found in the Tools section of your inventory. Using the item will give you a temporary boost in the poise category but then this will wear off. As soon as it wears off, which is very quick, you will see that the red square has disappeared and you will be back to a normal status in terms of HP. If you want another Baldachin Blessing you can simply head back to Fia and get another hug. That’s everything you need to know about removing the HP Debuff that Fia’s Hug puts on your character.

How to Aim and Zoom with Bows and Crossbows in Elden Ring

AOTF Staff — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 02:59:32 +0000

Using a bow and arrow or crossbow in Elden Ring can sometimes be a little tricky to understand the controls. However, it’s important to know the controls for these weapons as they have the ability to aim and zoom for precision shots. In this guide we’re going to explain how to aim and zoom with bows and crossbows in Elden Ring.

The Basics of Bows and Crossbows in Elden Ring

In order to use the bow or crossbow in Elden Ring you need to have the item equipped, obviously. And this can be in your left or right hand as your primary or secondary item. If you are using a bow you will not be able to use any of your secondary weapons like shields in between attacks, however with the crossbow shields are a bit easier to use. For either of these items you need to also have bolts, arrows, or great arrows equipped as well so that you have something to shoot. Assuming that you’ve got all this down: You can shoot the bow, great bow, or crossbow just like you’re using any other weapon. You can either manually aim a shot (which is hard) or you can lock on to the target and the shot will track the target.

How to Aim with Bow and Crossbow

To manually aim you simply press the LB button / L1 Button. This will bring up a crosshair that you can use to line-up your shots. Since this item will effectively take the place of your shield or second weapon you actually use that button to aim the bow. On PC, you simply equip the bow that you want to aim with and Right Click to use two hands on the bow, and then right click again to bring up the aiming reticle. And that’s all you need to know about aiming bows and crossbows in Elden Ring. For more tips on the game, check out our Elden Ring Guides section on AOTF.

There are multiple platforms alongside the cliffside that will allow you to reach the bottom. In the Northwest corner of that beach area you will find the back entrance to the cave. The cave is narrow with the only objective in there being the ability to pick up the Haligdrake Talisman.

What is the Haligdrake Talisman

Elden Ring – Godskin Duo Boss Tips How to Beat

AOTF Staff — Sat, 26 Feb 2022 20:26:16 +0000

The Godskin Duo is a boss found in the Crumbling Farum Azula in Elden Ring. This late-game area is one of the toughest challenges you’ll face in Elden Ring, and the multi-enemy, multi-stage boss fight can be a bit daunting for certain character types. In this guide we’re going to give some tips for beating the Godskin Duo in Elden Ring.

How to Beat the Godskin Duo (Melee Solo)

If you’re a melee character, the Godskin Duo is going to be a tough boss fight. Both enemies are incredibly fast, despite their appearances both enemies can kill you and constantly attack in tandem. The key to beating this boss as a melee character is to use the barriers in the room to your advantage to split up the duo and get your shots in while the other can’t hit you. Each of the bosses will transition to a second form when you get them down to around half health. If you kill one of the duo, you can fight the other one solo, but only for a short window at which point they will spawn again. YOU CANNOT, kill them in one round if you get both to zero. You have to take down the entire life bar of the boss to win the fight. However, there are some ways to do this more easily. In this fight, as a melee character you’re going to want to be blocking more than rolling, and always trying to position the two where you can see both of them. While this will prove to be a tough task, you most certainly should try to pick up on the audio queues. Each of the duo has a holy fireball that they’ll throw at you, and you can always hear it coming. The tall guy’s fireball is slightly faster than the big guy. When you hear the audio queue you’ll want to be dodging as if the fireball hits you it’s instant damage. The big guy also has a thrusting attack which can hit you from distance, but it also has an audio queue that can help you get out of the way or block the attack. The good part about this fight is that you can block almost all of the hits from the duo, but they are relentless and will quickly drop even high level character’s stamina, stun you, and most certainly kill you at that point. Back to getting them down to each half health. Choose to isolate one of these bosses at a time, you’ll want to get one of them down to half health and the other to almost half health. You can do either but we generally chose to get the tall guy down to half health first. Once they transition you will have new attack patterns to worry about. Both will do an AOE attack when they transition so while they are stationary the most you should try to get in is a hit or two and be ready to dodge the explosive attack. Regardless of who you get to half health first, they’ll most likely start knocking down the cover that was keeping you alive previously.

Tall Guy Second Phase

The Tall Guy in the second phase has numerous attacks to deal with that are different than before. He has two powerful magic attacks, one which has area of effect and the other where he’ll twirl around aflame. If you can decipher which one is the area of effect attack and which one is the twirling melee, you can roll in on the twirling melee attack and get at least a hit or two in on him. That is of course, if the big guy isn’t prepping an attack of his own. This fight is all about taking what they will give you and not just trying to hit them everytime there’s a perceived opening because those openings close quickly. Tall Guy has two other melee attacks, one where he’ll spin his sickle and the second is a looping circle of a melee attack. Both of these can be dodged quite easily. If it’s the spinning sickle attack roll towards the boss and through the spinning attack. If the big guy isn’t waiting with a fireball or thurst, take the opening and go for two attacks. Same goes for the looping attack. These attacks are his most common in this stage so if the big guy isn’t within distance or isn’t winding up a fireball attack make sure to get your hits in. Make sure to be blocking once you get inside for the quick counters he has and wait for the next opening. These special attacks are peppered in with his standard attacks, so anything you could hit him with in the first stage you can basically do the same in the second, the easiest openings are rolling towards him when he jumps or use the sickle to pull you towards him. Taking advantage of the attack patterns it shouldn’t take long to get him down to zero health. After he disappears you’ll have the big guy all to yourself. Since you’ve already got him down to half health, a hit or two should send him into his second phase as well.

Big Guy Second Phase

The second phase of the Big Guy is going to have one key thing you need to remember and that’s if he starts rolling you need to get behind cover or behind what used to be cover. The rolling attack that he’ll do will almost always be stopped by the monuments if you can get the proper spacing before the attack. He’ll continually roll into the base of the statues and you can likely get a couple of hits in by standing on top of the rubble. Aside from that he has a large area of effect attack and a very fast thrusting attack, both of which are easily avoided. While in the first phase it’s pretty easy to get in close on the big guy, he’ll do an AOE attack in the second phase if you’re too close, so it’s one hit and back off if he’s doing anything but rolling in phase two. However, if you are fighting him alone as the Tall Guy is gone at the moment, you won’t have long to fight him before he pauses to call his buddy back. When he does, Attack! This window will allow you to take him down a lot of health in a short period of time. You can get 4 hits at least in if you start hitting him as soon as he starts the call. Both characters will raise their hands over their heads to call the other back, at which point they will spawn in at what seems to be a random area. You can take the big guy down in this window if you’re fast. If you do, you’ll be back to square one with the duo. Likely without the cover that you had before. But the attack patterns are exactly as they were when you started the fight. Telegraphed fireballs and nothing too crazy. At that point it’s simply about repeating the process, but without the cover you had at the start of the fight. With no cover, it’s easiest to take advantage of two attacks and look for an opening. The Tall Guy’s jumping attacks, roll in and get a hit or two and then back off to get them down to half health OR the thrust for the big guy. Either way, this second form encounter should be a little tougher with no cover, but everything roughly works the same way. Upon killing one of them, you’re going to want to really press in the window where you have one of them isolated and that should put an end to the Godskin Duo.

Elden Ring – Where to Get the Drake Knight Armor

AOTF Staff — Sat, 26 Feb 2022 13:42:22 +0000

The Drake Knight Armor is undoubtedly one of the best in Elden Ring depending on your class. And if you don’t do some exploring you might not find it on your first try. However, you will need to have progressed quite a ways into the game having played a lot of the mandatory story missions to progress the game far enough to get to the Crumbling Farum Azula. In this guide we’ll explain where to go to get this armor.

How to get the Drake Knight Armor

The Drake Knight Armor is in a treasure chest tucked away in the Crumbling Farum Azula. You’ll need to have beaten the Godskin Duo and then progress to the next Site of Grace. When you get to the area with the hawks (birds) attacking you, you will find that there’s an elevator lift but no switch. You cannot make the jump down below, but when you make your way to the ledge of the building with the ladder when you get to the bottom instead of going straight towards the dragon, go the other way and jump down and go around the side of the building (which houses the lift). In a ornamental treasure chest you will find the Drake Knight Armor. This set will include the Armor, Helm, Gauntlets, and Greaves. If you’ve been completing a lot of the side quests you may already have better armor in Elden Ring. If you’ve picked up the Scaled Armor Set or the Twin Armor Set you might be better off with those, but if not, this should certainly buff your defenses in this tough area.

Elden Ring Lantern Location: How to See in the Dark

AOTF Staff — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 14:36:51 +0000

There are multiple options when it comes to seeing in the dark in Elden Ring. Your first is going to be a torch, which you can get very early on in the game. However, this item comes with limitations as it requires that you use your off-hand to carry the torch. The lantern should be a priority item for Elden Ring players as it can be brought along as an item and can be used alongside a sword and shield. In this guide for Elden Ring we’ll explain where you can get the Lantern.

Where to Get the Lantern in Elden Ring

The Lantern can be purchased from a vendor in Liurnia of the Lakes. The Nomadic Merchant at the Liurnia Lake Shore Site of Grace holds the Lantern which can be purchased for 1800 Runes. To get to this point in the game you will need to have progressed past the Godrick Boss Fight which will open up this path into a new area in the world. This Site of Grace should be one of the first that you encounter. If you don’t have the runes when you meet them the first time, we suggest doing a little farming in the area to get this key item. While it’s not quite as bright as the torch, the lantern will do a sufficient job in lighting up darker areas in the game.

How to use the Lantern

The Lantern is used like other items in the game and must be equipped. Head into the Equipment Menu and then once you have the Lantern add it to your quick item list. Once in the list you can then back out of the menu. You can then select the lantern item by using down on the d-pad and using it by pressing the Square/X button. The lantern item in Elden Ring is reusable at any time. Check out these Elden Ring Guides for item locations, boss fight walkthroughs, and more.

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon Boss Guide: How to Beat Rennala in Elden Ring

AOTF Staff — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 14:02:47 +0000

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon is going to be the second “big” boss fight that you encounter in Elden Ring as the witch holds yet another Great Rune as well as a hidden ability to unlock. This multi-stage boss fight can be hard to figure out at first but in this guide we’re going to walk your through the Rennala Boss Fight in Elden Ring so that you can hopefully get through it a little easier.

How to Beat Rennala

The boss fight with Rennala has two stages. The first stage is relatively easy, while the second stage is a little bit more difficult. Let’s break it down into the two parts.

Rennala Stage 1

The first part of the battle with Rennala has you entering the library in the Raya Lucaria area passing through the mist doors. You’ll immediately be greeted by a room that looks to be filled with enemies. Every enemy in the room will be hostile and Rennala won’t be able to be hit. What you need to do in the first section is look for the students on the ground and attack the one with the gold glowing aura around them. The student with the aura will be attacking you by throwing books at you via magic spell. You should be able to identify these pretty easily and get to them and take them out with ease. The area is large, so if you can’t see them immediately you’ll want to look in the back, behind the pillars and if you’ve got surround sound you’ll hear a singing voice in the direction of the student you need to hit. Depending on your damage output you can do this in as little as two rounds. Once you take out the first three students, Rennala will fall to the ground and she will not be able to attack you. While she is vulnerable hit her as many times as possible before her shield goes back up. Once it does, three more students will need to be slain in order to disable Rennala again. Repeat this until Rennala is at half health. At this point the fight will transition to a new area.

Rennala Stage 2

In Stage 2 of the Rennala fight you’re going to want to keep the pressure on her. Dodging the magic attacks that she throws at you while also avoiding the minions that she summons along the way. You might need to get a bit lucky, because the minions that she summons can feel quite random and some are stronger or faster than others.

Rennala Boss Fight Video

Check out the video below of us beating Rennala, where we unfortunately died at the end of the fight.

And that’s all you need to know about beating Rennala in Elden Ring. The tactics above are certainly going to work in part one of the fight, but the second part can be a bit of trial and error. Make sure to learn the timings of the magic attacks and the queues for when minions are summoned and this fight should be a bit easier.

Elden Ring – What Does The Larval Tear Do and Where to Get It

AOTF Staff — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 13:41:59 +0000

The Larval Tear is a rare item in Elden Ring which grants you a special ability. Depending on how far you are into the game when you find this item you may or may not understand what the item description means or where you can get one. In this guide we’re going to discuss the Larval Tear, what it is and where to get it.

What Does the Larval Tear Do

The Larval Tear is a consumable item that is used by the Witch Rennala to “grant rebirth” according to the item’s description. What this means in the game is that once you’ve defeated Renalla you can give her a Larval Tear to respec your character. Once you’ve defeated the Witch Rennala she will become an NPC that allows you to both change your character appearance and redistribute your purchased ability points.

Where to Get the Larval Tear

There are numerous places to get the Larval Tear in Elden Ring. In this guide we’ll give you two quick places that you can get two of them before heading off to fight Rennala.

Kill the Shapeshifting Crayfish

In the wetlands near the Fallen Ruins of the Lake you’ll find another Larval Tear but this one is a little harder to get than the one below: From the Site of Grace here, look North East and surrounding a shrine in the middle of the water you’ll find three giant crayfish that lay dormant until you approach them. Nearby is another crayfish stalking around. Engage the one that is already moving while trying not to disturb the others. Take it down to zero health and it will shift into a new enemy. Defeat this enemy and get the Larval Tear.

Find the Village of the Albinaurics

The Village of the Albinaurics is hidden in the cavern under the big rock formation in Liurnia. Using the map it’ll be hard to find, but head to the location on the map above and stay in the swamps and look for the ramp that will lead you up to the village. There are a bunch of small enemies and a mini-boss to contend with. The Larval Tear is yours for the taking. There are other Larval Tears in Elden Ring. If you find any others that you think we should add to this guide, feel free to let us know @FanboyAttack on Twitter. Otherwise, here are two Larval Tears that can be used to respec your character once you’ve defeated Rennala in Elden Ring.

Elden Ring: How to Open the Divine Tower of Limgrave (Activate Godrick’s Great Rune)

AOTF Staff — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 13:08:02 +0000

Defeating a main boss in Elden Ring will get you a new Great Rune to use in the game. These runes bestow great power on your character, but for each rune you collect you will need to climb different towers to activate the rune itself. Once you’ve beaten the first main boss of the game, Godrick the Grafted, you will need to take his Great Rune to the Divine Tower of Limgrave in order to use it. In this guide we’ll explain how to get to this area in the game.

How to Open the Divine Tower in Limgrave and Activate Godrick’s Rune

The route to the Divine Tower of Limgrave in actually within Stormveil Castle where you defeated Godrick. To get to the Tower you will need to take a portal from the castle to the tower bridge. For the purpose of this guide we’re going to explain how to get back to this area by backtracking from the Godrick boss fight. You’ll need to head back to the areas that you just fought though to make it to the castle gates. Hopefully you unlocked the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace while making your way to Godrick in the first place. This one was near the ogre and open area with many soldiers. Backtrack past the ogre in the courtyard area and instead of heading due south which would’ve been the way you approached this area the first time, instead go left (east) and head down the stairs toward the main courtyard and Stormveil Castle Gate. At the bottom of the stairs you’ll come to another open area with a ton of guards as well as a Vanguard Lion. At the bottom of those stairs hook a left and head through the main door past the lion.

How to Open the Divine Tower of Limgrave Path

The easiest way to do this is to try and run past these enemies but it’s also a good opportunity to collect runes so choose to approach it how you wish. Once you get to the room with the knight statues kneeling you should be safe if noone is on your tail. Keep heading straight and you will be at the Limgrave Tower Bridge. Rest at the Site of Grace and then head onward to the tower. You’re not quite out of the clear yet, the long stretch is a straight run to a teleporter that will actually take you to the tower. You’ll need to make your way past three giants: Two wielding axes and one with a bow and arrow. The easiest way to get past these three is to run straight ahead until you see the teleporter and then use it to go to the tower. If you choose to fight, you will be in for a fight because the ranged giant (closest to the teleporter) is going to be able to hit you while you’re fighting the first and second giants. If you chose not to fight, and you took the teleporter you are in the clear and you are now at the Divine Tower of Limgrave. You are in the clear for the time being. Head up the lift and activate Godrick’s Rune.

Elden Ring: How to Level Up and Increase Your Stats

AOTF Staff — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 12:26:01 +0000

Levelling up in Elden Ring will make your character more powerful by increasing your stats depending on how you want to allocate the runes that you’ve collected. However, it’s locked behind a bit of progression in the game and meeting a very important NPC. In this guide we’ll explain exactly what you need to do in the early-game to level up and increase your stats in Elden Ring.

How to Level up in Elden Ring

Leveling up in Elden Ring is going to be locked until you’ve met a character named Melina. She will introduce you to the larger story behind Elden Ring and give you the ability to level up whenever you visit a Site of Grace. In a basic playthrough where you don’t do much exploring in the early part of the game Melina should introduce herself to you by the time you make it to your third or fourth Site of Grace. The easiest way to get her to appear is by following the order below:

After leaving the Cave of Knowledge Make Your Way to the Church of Ellah.
Make Your Way North Through the Forest to the Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace.
When You Rest at this Site of Grace Melina Will Introduce Herself and give you the ability to level up.

At this point Melina will give you the option to level up your character and increase your stats. At this point Melina will also give you the Spectral Steed Whistle which allows you to summon your horse, Torrent. Once you’re able to level up, you can then choose to spend the runes you collect on a variety of different attribute points. Depending on the character build you are going for you can choose to spend those points in many ways: Here’s a short breakdown on what each attribute point does:

VIG – Vigor – Increase HP
MND – Mind – Increase FP
END – Endurance – Increase Stamina Bar and Equip Load
STR – Strength – Increases Damage and Ability to Use Strength Weapons
DEX – Dexterity – Damage modifier to dexterity weapons
INT – Intelligence – Damage modifier for sorcery and incantations
FTH – Faith – Damage modifier and usage requirement for sorcery and incantations
ARC – Arcane – Damage modifier and usage requirement for specific sorcery and incantations

And that’s all you need to know about leveling up and increasing your stats in Elden Ring. Once you’ve locked in these choices you’ll be tied to them when levelling up your character so choose wisely. You will be able to respec your character in Elden Ring at a later point in the game.

Elden Ring – How to Remove Poison

Elden Ring is a game full of different afflictions that can kill you if you’re not careful. Poison for example, if you’re exposed long enough to this affliction will gradually kill your character by slowly eating away at your health if you become poisoned. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to remove poison, but you’re going to need certain items. In this guide we’ll cover how to remove poison in Elden Ring.

How to Remove Poison in Elden Ring

The main item you’re going to need to have is plenty of Neutralizing Boluses when fighting poisonous enemies. If you’re fighting poison spewing enemies, you’ll see a meter in the enter of the screen that will up green. Once the meter gets full you will see a message that you’ve been poisoned. Once you’re poisoned you will continue to lose health little by little unless you either heal yourself, at which point you will continue to lose health until the poison meter has run its course. However, if you take a Neutralizing Boluses item you will alleviate the poison status. So how do you get these items? There’s a couple of ways that you can get it. You can find them out in the world as treasure, you can purchase this item from a vendor, or you can craft the item yourself.

How to Craft the Neutralizing Boluses

Head into the Item Crafting menu and it’s one of the first items you should see. Here are the ingredients to craft the Neutralizing Boluses:

Herba – Can be Found in Thickets
Cave Moss – Gives off a pale light in Dark Caves
Great Dragonfly Head – Found by killing large Dragonflies

Your ability to craft items is directly tied to owning the “Crafting Kit” which can be purchased from the merchant Kale at the Church of Ellah. After you have the Crafting Kit, you should be collecting the many different types of cookbooks that the game has to offer. Some of the first ones you can get are by visiting the Church of Ellah and talking to Kale again for the Armorer’s Cookbook.

Elden Ring – How to Find Map Fragments

AOTF Staff — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 14:59:58 +0000

In Elden Ring the world map is definitely expansive and it’s covered by a fog of war as you venture into new areas. It’s very important to locate the map fragments of the world so that you can see possible points of interest while exploring. In this guide we’ll explain how the map fragment system works and how to find these map fragments in Elden Ring even when you can’t see them on the map.

Map Fragment Locations in Elden Ring

Map Fragments are going to be required if you want to fill in the blanks in the land of Elden Ring. Until they are found you won’t be able to get a lay of the land and see any unique locations. However, there’s a neat little trick to finding these map fragments pretty easily. Anytime the map is blanked out, simply look for the obelisk icon on the map. It looks like a tower (Image Below) Set a waypoint on these locations and make your way their to procure the map fragment for each locale.

What are Map Fragments

Map Fragments are items that you collect in Elden Ring which basically fill in the blanks of the map. Once you find the map fragment you will be able to use the map of the area to look for possible points of interest. Map Fragments are always located a the foot of these statues shown in the image above. Be warned, more often than not these map fragment locations are guarded by enemies but if you’re quick you can get in and get out without the need to fight. Usually, these obelisks are located on a path as seen in the image above. You might need to do a little bit of blind exploring to find them but as you do explore the grey fog will be replaced with the brown rough layout of the area. Zoom in on the map and you should easily be able to see which direction to head to find the map fragment which will put a lot more detail on the map.
