Elden Ring: Tips To Complete The Haligtree Legacy Dungeon

The Haligtree inElden Ringis not just the most difficult level in the game, but it’s also quite possibly the hardest area in aSoulsbornegame. Lore-wise, it’s supposed to be some kind of sanctuary for the outcasts. But the Tarnished are not welcome; too power-hungry and opportunistic, apparently. So everyone in the Haligtree from insects to even gravity agrees that the Tarnished are to be killed on sight.

Far Cry 6 Sounds Nothing Like Far Cry 5, and That's a Good Thing

Far Cryis a franchise all about iconic villains, chilling but unique atmosphere, and its overarching themes of “insanity.” At least it has been sinceFar Cry 3and arguably earlier, butFar Cry 5seemed to ignore much of the atmospheric elements of past games. The fifth entry has all the staples of a properFar Crygame, and yet, the gameplay experience is far more stereotypical and silly compared to pastFar Crygames. The villain’s screen time is split into thirds among his three “apostles” sub-villains, and the game never really takes its narrative or atmosphere seriously....
