Elden Ring Player Discovers Clever Use For Crystal Darts
An Elden Ring fan just found a novel use for crystal darts. Despite implementing an expansive open world for the first time, FromSoftware's newest title stays true to the soulsborne formula.

This makes way for varying approaches to gameplay that allow for inventive discovery within the game.
