Tarnished of the Lands Between
The Golden Order has been shattered.
Throughout the Lands Between, Demigods holding shards of the Elden Ring squabble and make war over the ruins of a perfect realm, now abandoned by the golden guidance of the Greater Will.
As the echoes of this conflict thunder in the distance, an outcast arrives. Once, their ancestors called the Lands Between home, but the blessed light of grace was lost to their tribe long ago and they were expelled from the kingdom. They are the Tarnished, and they have returned to claim the Elden Lordship promised to them by legend.
This is the world of ELDEN RING. As a Tarnished, the Lands Between await your exploration. You will ride through the vast fields, gallop over rolling hills, and leap to the top of rocky crags on your ephemeral steed, revealing a world teeming with life and danger.
In the grand fields where your journey begins, mythic creatures prowl the veldts, ineffable horrors lurk in the bogs and marshes, and all manner of soldiers and itinerant warriors are waiting for those who wander unawares.
Shy creatures nibble on sweet grasses or scuttle through the underbrush.
Those few inhabitants who are not mad or hostile linger near the broken remnants of cities left behind by the Shattering. They may have answers for you, if you help them. Above them all, ensconced in vast legacies bristling with traps, secrets, and guardians, the Demigods – warped Lords who began as members of a royal and noble family – rule their domains with the unyielding power granted by shards of the Elden Ring.
The guidance of lost graces – should you find them — will put you on a road to re-take these lands from the Demigods through might and magic, but you need not follow their path.
The choice is yours. Do you crave power, or do you seek understanding? Decide for yourself, then build your character as you see fit.
Try dozens of skills and find one to best suit your style. Practice stealth to avoid danger or catch enemies unaware.
Use the environment, the weather, and the time of day to gain an advantage. Learn the art of combat , where you must read your enemy’s intentions and a well-timed dodge or parry could be the difference between life and death. Ride your steed into battle against mounted mercenaries and cut them from their horses. Master arcane spells from the masters that still linger among the ruins of the war. Summon familiar spirits to even the odds against you or call on your fellow Tarnished to fight at your side and share the burden as you explore. Or, delve into the complex, bloody history of the Shattering and discover the lost secrets of the Demigods and their kin. All these paths are possible, and more.
Ultimately, your journey will be defined by the strength of your own ambition. The greater your goals, the greater the challenge will be. Should you choose to claim the Lands Between as your birthright then yes, you must fight.
And yes, you may die.
But you will return to fight again.
For that is how a champion – or a Lord – is born.

Perovo metro station
Many superstitions are associated with this subway station due to the fact that on its walls are depicted animals, which are commonly called apocalyptic. Sane people, who are not easily frightened by such speculation, say that these images are associated with the ancient Slavic gods. But there are also those who consider them symbols of the Apocalypse, and this, in turn, is an ominous sign.
Zeleniy Ave.
, 20
Sokol metro station
Sokol station is considered to be an unlucky place of the Moscow subway. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a fraternal military cemetery not far from it, where those killed in the First World War were buried. Later, in 1918, Chekists shot priests and white officers here. According to the confessions of the machinists, at this station they often get the feeling that they are being watched, and in the early morning, even before the opening of the metro, ghostly figures were noticed more than once on the tracks and on the platform.
Leningradskiy prospekt, 73
circle line
Rumor has it that once a month on the Circle Line after midnight you can meet a completely empty train that stops at every station, but never opens the doors. In the driver’s cab, as expected, a man in uniform is sitting, only this uniform is of the old model, and the driver himself is as if shrouded in haze — however, like the whole train. Sometimes you can see people with emaciated faces in it — workers who died during the construction of the subway.
Lubyanka metro station
Rumor has it that the souls of hundreds and thousands of people tortured in the cellars of the Lubyanka still live under the arches of this metro station.
According to statistics, this station is the leader in the number of heart attacks, seizures and fainting that occur on it. In addition, it is here, more often than at other stations, that people try to commit suicide.
Lubyanskaya sq.
Sculptures at the metro station «Revolution Square»
0+
According to popular belief, Ploshad Revolutsii metro station makes wishes come true.
The main thing is to know which of the 76 bronze statues and with what request to apply. Most often, people come to the sculptures of dogs next to the border guards, as evidenced by their appearance. Fortunately, the dog’s nose is rubbed, and at the same time the soldier’s. A woman with a rooster can be approached for financial support and rubbed a bird’s comb (although some say it’s better not to touch the birds). The statue of a student helps to solve love issues, a bronze scientist successfully defends a scientific work, and a young mother makes dreams of a child come true.
Moscow metro, Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, Ploshchad Revolyutsii station
Metro station «Partizanskaya»
Many Muscovites also consider the sculpture of partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya at this metro station to be iconic.
They say that she decides fate. Therefore, if you are waiting for your other half near this statue, do not forget to stand near her right leg, then your relationship will be long and happy. A meeting near the left, on the contrary, promises a separation associated with the infidelity of one of the partners.
Izmailovskoe sh., 69
Dinamo metro station
The station is popular with athletes because the figures on the round medallions in its lobby are considered patrons.
Some are sure that before important performances or competitions it would be useful to visit here and ask for help from a representative of their sport. Often, novice athletes specially go out to the Dynamo station to stand near the bas-relief for a couple of minutes and tune in to an important event.
Leningradskiy Ave.
Kyiv metro station (Koltsevaya line)
Muscovites like to show tourists a mosaic panel at the Kyiv station, where a Red Army soldier is allegedly talking on a mobile phone, and an open laptop is standing in front of him.
In fact, the artist here depicted a walkie-talkie or a German portable telephone of the 1910 model, and the laptop is most likely a book. However, many believe that these objects symbolize the time travel that occurs at this station. Eyewitnesses of strange time breaks are also found.
trans. 2nd Bryansk
«Phystech»
The new station was “born” on April 1, 1996 with the light hand of MIPT students. One day, on many metro maps, on the gray line after Altufevskaya, the Fiztekh station “under construction” appeared. They say that the story was even dug up by journalists, and the metro denied everything.
The responsibility for the joke was finally taken by MIPT students, who simply printed stickers corresponding to the design and pasted them on the diagrams at various stations and in subway cars.
Metro-2
There is a legend that at a depth of about 100 meters underground there is an alternative network of the Moscow subway. They say that it was laid back in the days of Stalin, and you can get there straight from the Kremlin offices. The subway is equipped with everything you need in case of an emergency: from food supplies to a nuclear button. The legend is a legend, but it is curious that to this day there is no official confirmation of the existence of Metro-2, nor an official refutation.
Sokolnicheskaya line
They say that for the construction of the first branch of the Moscow metro — Sokolnicheskaya — the white-stone Serpukhov Kremlin was dismantled to the ground. Whether this is true or not is not known for certain, but of all the lines of the metropolitan subway, the red one is considered the most criminal. For example, in Sokolniki Park, crimes are committed quite often, in the dashing nineties, the area of three stations near the Komsomolskaya metro station was one of the most dangerous places in the city, and Lubyanka, as we wrote above, is the leader in the number of underground suicides.
Sovetskaya metro station
Old-timers of Moscow remember that there used to be a station «Sovetskaya» near the building of the Moscow City Council (now the capital’s mayor’s office), which in one day suddenly disappeared from the surface of the earth and from the metro map.
Rumor has it that the station did not disappear anywhere, but was converted into a secret bunker for the leaders of the country — with a brothel, a cinema and a planetarium. Now it is already difficult to determine whether it was really so, but until 19Tverskaya was not opened in 1979, there was a long stretch in the tunnel between Mayakovskaya and Teatralnaya without stops.
Metro station «Library named after Lenin»
Another station of the Moscow subway, which was chosen by the suicides, is the Lenin Library. This shallow station of the oldest subway line is still adjacent to the remains of medieval prisons, where delinquent boyars and malicious defaulters were kept.
Maybe the land that absorbed their suffering continues to influence contemporaries? By the way, in the sign with the name of the station on one of the platforms you can see two holes. They say that in the gangster 90s there was a shootout right at the station.
st. Mokhovaya, 12
Metro station «Avtozavodskaya»
The former name of this station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line was Stalin Plant. Not far from it was an automobile plant that produced ZIS cars, and later — ZIL.
There is a legend that to this day there is a huge hangar on the territory of this plant, where all the military equipment that took part in the 1945 Victory Parade is located. It is impossible to check whether this is true or not: the plant’s security patrols the territory around the clock.
st. Masterkova, d. 6
Mayakovskaya metro station
Local historians call Mayakovskaya metro station an underground airship for a reason.
All the columns and arches decorating the lobby were made at the Dirigiblestroy plant, which produced aeronautical equipment. By the way, if two people stand at opposite columns at the station and speak through them, they will hear each other, despite the noise of the trains.
pl. triumphal
Tsaritsyno metro station
The soils under the famous Tsaritsyno Ponds are very mobile and moist. They are also saturated with water with colonies of microorganisms, which, according to legend, have a kind of collective intelligence and resist the invasion of civilization into their underground world.
The waters of the ponds flooded the tunnel more than once, so now at night the builders regularly carry out work to strengthen the soil on the Tsaritsyno-Kantemirovskaya stretch.
st. Luganskaya, 11
Metro station «Kuntsevskaya»
In the territories adjacent to Kuntsevskaya, archaeologists have recently discovered the oldest fortified settlement on the territory of Moscow. Once there was a pagan cemetery, which the Christians considered cursed.
There is a legend that the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin was built on this site, but it went underground without a trace along with the cross in just one night. Superstitious townspeople are also feared by “damn fingers” — shells of mollusks, which are found in large numbers in these parts.
st. Malaya Filevskaya
Prospekt Mira metro station (ring)
Regulars of the Prospekt Mira station sometimes see a pale, bearded brunette in an elegant old-fashioned suit walking along the platform.
The man looks immersed in his thoughts and does not enter into a dialogue with others. They say that this is the ghost of the poet Valery Bryusov, who died in 1924 in his mansion, which now stands next to the station. It is known that the poet of the Silver Age was fond of the occult and often arranged séances in his house.
Ave. Mira, 39A
Taganskaya metro station
There is a legend that during the construction of this station, the foreman of the metro builders stumbled and fell into the elevator shaft in front of the workers.
They immediately descended to the bottom of the mine, but found no one below. The man’s body was found only three days later at the end of a distant tunnel. There were no injuries or damage on it, but eyewitnesses had the impression that all the blood was pumped out of the body.
Taganskaya sq.
Lineman
The Lineman Phantom is one of the most famous subway ghosts. Former employees of the Sokolnicheskaya line say that during his lifetime this man really worked as a lineman, and devoted 40 years of his life to this business. At the age of 82, he died, but still returns «to work.
» Metro employees allegedly saw a ghost in the darkness of the tunnels more than once.
black machinist
In the late 1990s, a train derailed in the Moscow metro and the head car caught fire. The driver managed to get the train out of the tunnel, but three days later the man died in the hospital from severe burns. The driver’s family did not receive compensation for the death of the breadwinner, and the authorities even stated that he himself was to blame for what had happened. At the same time, the wagons were in disrepair. After this incident, subway workers often met the ghost of the late machinist in the tunnels — a man with black burnt skin. According to legend, he still walks the subway in search of justice.
Metro station «Chistye Prudy»
There is a legend that in the area of the Chistye Prudy station there is a Stalinist bunker, which was built by a team of teenagers. It consisted mainly of 16-year-old orphans and homeless children. At the end of construction, almost all of them mysteriously disappeared. Only two managed to get out. It is said that the rest were doomed to remain in the dungeon, and their ghosts still roam the tunnels. The workers still hear an indistinct rustle behind them, which subsides as soon as you start listening to it.
Chistoprudny Blvd.
Palace of Ivan the Terrible
Workers discovered the ruins of Ivan the Terrible’s oprichny palace while laying a subway tunnel from Gertsen Street to Kalininsky Prospekt. According to legend, the courtyard of this building, which stood outside the Kremlin walls, was strewn with a thick layer of river sand — the blood of people who were tortured and tormented there was supposed to go into it. A Metrostroy brigade was sent to help the archaeologists. Soon, the workers began to complain that in the process of excavation they had to fiddle in fetid red mud, which was then difficult to wash off.
In addition, the participants of the excavations began to be tormented by nightmares. And during the day while working, some had hallucinations. They claimed to hear human groans, cries and curses coming from under the ground.

Elden Ring — 10 things to know before playing
Elden Ring is finally here and it will be a huge challenge for most players. Learning the basics of such a massive RPG can be intimidating, but this guide explains some of the things you need to know about Elden Ring before you start playing, which will make your journey a little easier.
Initial character selection
While your initial choice of your character will be important at the start of the game, it is entirely possible to deviate from that path and it becomes even easier as you find various items that can scale weapons differently or completely reset your entire feature pool. So choosing the right character is important in the beginning, but not necessarily as you progress through the game.
Leveling and accumulating your runes
Like the Souls games, Elden Ring has a currency system where one currency can buy items from different vendors around the world BUT it can also level up your character, weapons and abilities. Wherever you die, your runes will be left behind. You need to get these runes if you don’t want to lose your progress. Use it or lose it, make sure you don’t go into a big boss fight or into an unfamiliar area with lots of runes as you might not get them back.
Know your stats
Mindlessly leveling up in Elden Ring will force you to use certain types of weapons and armor in the game.
All weapons and gear have stat requirements, so while this massive sword might look cool, if you don’t level your character properly to use it, it will end up wasted.
Exhaust all dialogue options
Souls fans should know this, but not all NPCs will tell you everything when they first meet. Always make sure you exhaust all dialogue options when meeting new characters or completing quests. This ensures that you don’t miss any important events or items in Elden Ring.
New save system
Souls used to have a system where you rested by a campfire and that was your save point until you got to the next campfire. A new system has been implemented in Elden Ring that allows you to respawn in locations near your death point if there is a statue of Marika nearby. These statues will be displayed on the screen during the game to let you know if you will be spawning nearby or around the campfire. If there is a statue nearby, you will have the option to respawn at the statue or campfire.
Use your trusty steed
Torrent, your horse has some abilities, namely double jump, which can help you in many ways. This extra jump has certainly been factored into the level design, so always be on the lookout for open world opportunities for areas that just seem out of reach. You might be double jumping from a new item, rune cache, or blacksmithing stones.
Side quests/dungeons
Elden Ring feels more like a traditional RPG than any other Souls game, and features both the main path and tons of extra content. The rewards for completing these side quests are plentiful, and they range from weapons and items to important game-changing key items that allow customization, leveling up unique vendors, and more. Completing these side quests will be paramount to making the game easier to complete.
Try a different tactic instead of taking the direct route in fights
Elden Ring has taken Sekiro’s example in that you can approach conflicts in different ways.
When it comes to conflict, head-to-head is not the best option. There are many different ways to resolve different conflicts depending on the location. If you’re in the overworld, in many cases you can stay on your horse, and some conflicts are designed to do just that. In some conflicts, a lot of enemies rush at you, and stealthily killing them or throwing distractions at them is your best chance to thin out the herd.
Explore, Explore Explore
Elden Ring is very similar to the Souls games, but with a twist. Many of From Software’s tricks and tricks from their previous games are certainly here, but if you haven’t played any of their games, they love to hide things off the beaten track. Explore everything you can, as you may find an important item that you might not have found otherwise.
Use the map
There is no legend on the Elden Ring map, but it has a lot of details that can help you find some of the hidden places in the game. Nearly all points of interest are marked on the map to some degree, or at least give you clues about things and areas of the map that you can explore.
