Sprinting
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, sprinting is performed by pressing the button that is associated with dodging. Previously, sprinting was achieved by tapping the left control stick and holding the Space Bar. The Elden Ring, however, allows you to sprint without holding the Space Bar, which is useful for running attacks and backstepping. You can also perform rolling attacks while sprinting without requiring directional input, such as a jump.
The Elden Ring’s focus on movement means that sprinting is an important skill in the game. While Dodge Rolling is better for combat, sprinting is more efficient in some environments. Sprinting also consumes stamina when used in combat. While sprinting, you cannot use items. In order to use items, you must have enough space and time to sprint. Once you have mastered the skill, you can also start using the Circle button to roll or move in any direction.
Rolling away from enemy attacks
If you are familiar with the Elden Ring, you know that you must avoid stepping in any poisonous swamps to survive. The status of Scarlet Rot is similar to the one you have in Dark Souls, and you must be vigilant to avoid it. Only Incantation can cure you from the status, and there are only limited curative items. Luckily, you can block enemy attacks with the environment, which is particularly helpful in the classic From Software “boss run” game scenario, where you run back to a checkpoint, and then sprint back to the boss, ensuring a quick kill.
There are various ways to dodge an enemy attack, and one of these is to roll towards them while they are mid-attacking. You can also use a riposte at the start of a combo to catch an enemy in mid-attack. The speed of dodging depends on how much you equip, so light load will get you away faster than a heavy one. You can even use your posture as a counterattack option against certain enemies.
Using magic spells from a distance in Elden Ring
Using magic spells from a distance is very useful in Elden Ring, as it allows you to deal massive damage with a very short amount of time. The best long-range sorcery is Loretta’s Greatbow, which can be rapid-fired and used well into late game. This spell can also be re-used multiple times during a battle, which makes it a fantastic defensive tool.
Sorceries are found throughout the game world, and can be obtained from enemies and chests. Sorceries are also taught by Sorceress Sellen and Perceptor Seluvis in Liurnia of the Lakes, and Miriel can teach faith-based Incantations in his home in the Church of Vows. While Sorceries aren’t the most useful in combat, they can be used in strategic combat situations and can be highly effective.
To cast a magic spell, you must use your Sacred Seals and Staff to gain the desired effect. Using magic spells from a distance is one of the most effective ways to deal with enemy groups. Using magic spells from a distance is particularly useful when you’re playing as an ally and are attempting to sabotage enemies in melee combat. However, you’ll need to spend some FP to use these spells and will need to replenish your Sacred Seals and Staff to continue using them.
Using a GeForce GTX 660 GPU
If you are having problems running Elden Ring, one of the first things to try is updating your graphics driver. You should perform a clean install, so you do not have conflicts with other drivers. The next step is to install GeForce Experience, which is an Nvidia software that will help you install the correct driver for your GPU. Make sure you download the latest version of this software for your GPU, because updating it manually is not always as reliable.
Currently, the game requires at least 12GB of memory. You should have a GeForce GTX 660, which is equivalent to a Radeon HD 7850 GPU. You will also need to have 12GB of RAM, as Elden Ring is not recommended for low-end machines. Eventually, you should be able to upgrade to a GTX 1070 or an AMD Radeon RX Vega 56.
