Playing Elden Ring is not for the faint-hearted. The sprawling open world of the Lands Between features an overwhelming amount of secrets to discover and locations to explore, all while fighting barbaric foes who are driven by the desire to dance on your grave.
Therefore, at one point early on in the gameplay, when there was a lack of information available online, you must have wished for an official strategy guide that helped you overcome obstacles.
While various websites have published valuable bits for the confused minds since then, players will soon have the opportunity to rely on tangible means, too, as FromSoftware is set to release a strategy guide for Elden Ring.
Published by Future Press, the official strategy guide for the game is titled Elden Ring Books of Knowledge. It is spread across two volumes and features 1,024 pages, each book clocking in at 512 pages. Interested gamers in the US and the UK can preorder the volumes individually for $50 from Amazon.
The first volume, which launches on July 29, will cover the overworld, underworld, every NPC that finds refuge in the Lands Between, basic mechanics, and 100 maps.
On the other hand, the second volume will launch on September 30 and focus on providing a detailed look at different bosses, the working of combat mechanics, and a broad arsenal of weapons and armaments.
Even if you are the most decorated Soulsborne gamer out there, these guide books can help you discover the untapped secrets of Elden Ring to get a deeper understanding of its lore.
Moreover, the guides can prove advantageous by shedding light on how different areas of the map can be unlocked or where specific bosses and items are located.
Monetarily speaking, many of Future Press’ previous strategy guides have had a high resale value on sites like eBay, so splashing on them can turn out to be a fruitful investment as well.
