GEK MONOLITHS
PuzzleType: TRA_MON_
Alien: Underling! The Gek First Spawn demand you destroy the weak!
I see a strange vision. A small winged creature lands on the very top of the monolith. Suddenly, its eyes glow red and its head revolves in a full circle. It screams for mercy in an ancient voice that wants itself dead.
The poor animal has clearly broken its neck, but the monolith's power of possession still animates it. I wonder if the right thing would be to shoot it, and put it out of its misery.
{Shoot the creature}
The poor winged creature is no more.
The monolith rewards my actions.

Alien: Beware! Murderous abomination! Do not awake! Terror! Despair!
A strange new reality grips me. The ancient structure swings open to reveal a body encased in ice. It is a patchwork of different body parts. Its ragged beak appears to have been stitched on with animal gut.
A hand-written sign in the language of the ancient traders can be seen above the body's head. A flammable isotope would most likely melt the ice...
{Melt ice}
The creature's eyes flick open. Its hands leap around my throat.
I force it back into the depths of the disapproving Monolith.

{Leave}
The panel on the Monolith swings shut.
The abomination remains trapped. I am thanked.

Alien: Underling! The Gek First Spawn demand help! Give silicate!
I'm inspecting the monolith's surface when, suddenly, a ragged silicon claw grabs me. Despite being broken and fragmented, it holds me tight while an ancient metallic beak emerges from the living rock.
It shouts in an ancient tongue, unaware of who or what I am.
{Give silicate}
The metallic hand releases its grip and grabs at my offering.
I have perhaps appeased an ancient evil...

Alien: Feed First Spawn beak common oxides! Rare oxide brings painful noise! Furious noise!
A beak emerges from the ancient stone. It's shouting, but can't be heard. In the stone above someone, long ago, has scrawled advice for those who would approach it.
The beak screams wordlessly at me, furiously intoning the words of the ancient beings that once worshipped here. My scanner detects traces of oxides around it, but can't specify which ones.
{Feed beak common oxide}
The beak whispers the words of those who once worshipped here.

Alien: ToilGek dare approach First Spawn holy site? Leave! Leave! Depart or die!
I hear a low rumble, which gradually builds into an ancient scream. It's like no other noise I've ever experienced. To this strange alien landscape it's a calm silence, inside my helmet it's a nightmarish cacophony of pain and death.
Through the noise, however, I can make out some words within the screams.
{Touch Monolith}
The vengeful spirits that inhabit this place are grateful for my obedience.

Alien: The Gek First Spawn destroy the pirate!
A portion of the monolith melts in front of my eyes. The face of a trader emerges, its beak cut off for reasons unknown. It screams and writhes in the bubbling vertical lava, desperately reaching out to me - with a multi-tool in its hand.
Supercooled liquid frenium from my suit systems could relieve its pain, but I can also take a risk and pull it from the molten rock.
{Cool lava}
The relieved ancient trader pushes a gift out towards me.
The lifeform is absorbed back into the rock.

Alien: Retain foul First Spawn stench! Remove sweet eggs from the spawning syrup!
Reality changes. I'm standing in a crater beneath a jet black sky. I'm up to my knees in a strange syrup that glows pink in the darkness. Spherical eggs float around me. Some of these mucus-covered orbs smell terrible, others are sweet and delicate.
The taint of the foul eggs is infecting the entirety of the spawning pool. I am filled by an urge to separate them.
{Remove noxious eggs from pool}
I have angered the ancients Gek spirits that dwell here.
Reality is restored.

{Remove sweet-smelling eggs from pool}
I am smiled upon by vengeful ancient spirits.

Alien: First Spawn... power... low ... give... element... isotope... carbon... plutonium...
The monolith's glyphs take on a faint yellow tinge, then flicker and disappear. It has no power: the mysterious forces that fuel these stones are weak. I hear a faint crackling whisper on the planetary breeze, and I notice a hole in the monument's base.
I could potentially fit some of my mined resources through the gap...
{Insert Isotope element}
I awake this place's vengeful spirits.
They reward me.

Alien: The First Spawn gives help to the worker. The First Spawn destroy the workshy.
The monolith has the smell of burnt metal and heavy industry. Strange runes swirl and transform, forcing an image deep into my mind.
I look into the past. I see a small beaked figure, silhouetted by the light of a forge, industriously hammering armour. Next to it, a cloaked companion idly watches – seemingly content to avoid the work. Both look at me. I must choose.
{Choose the worker}
I have pleased this place's spirits.

MMOexp: Hoarfrost Stomp was another of my favorites. The melee ability found close to in the Liurnia of the Lakes had both the highest DPS and damage to the area of effect. Repeated use of Elden Ring Runes it could cause frost to opponents. It was a complete crowd control device that was great to farm enemy spawns as well as to destroy other players during attacks. The patch last night nerfed the damage of the machine by a tiniest amount and also increased the time to cast. "I was able to get it in just a few minutes before closing the app and applying the patch," wrote one player. "Didn't even get to use it. It still ruined people in pvp but not as much as I was hit by it last night."
The patch was able to, thankfully it fixed a unique flaw players were making use of to disrupt PvP. The Deathblight version combines with the Eclipse Shotel weapon with the Fire's Deadly Sin incantation to build the death ailment rapidly on players who are in conflict and make them repeat backstab animations. It was reported that the Elden Ring community was split over whether this was an error or a valid element of the game however, it's no longer. A few PvP players who were unaware that the vulnerability was patched are still trying to use it, only to have it swiftly cut off when it fails.
Sword of Night and Flame was a different build that some believed to be damaged. It was located in Caria Manor, the weapon's Night-and-Flame Stance ability let players follow up an attack by using the Comet Azur sorcery to cause a lot of fire damage from a distance. It was able to wreak havoc on unsuspecting PvP gamers, however it it was equally easily repelled by players who knew the way they were acting. In PvE however it was a different OP capability that players were enjoying. The most recent patch still was nerfing it, however. The Moonveil Katana was not mentioned within the notes of patch in any way however it was evidently a stealth patch to lengthen the animation of combat.
This is where things can get difficult when making drastic changes to a game that some players view as an offline, single-player game. "Literally I just received the Sword of Night and Flame the other evening in Elden Ring, since I could not find a weapon that I like," a player posted on Twitter. "Poured every resource I could get into it after I heard that it was good, but then I was advised to update my game. It turns out that the update has nerfed the game to death."
While some patches in 1.03 introduced new content or fixed broken quests It also changed the balance of the game in the manner one would deal with a live-service game. No matter if the changes themselves are beneficial or not, it's something that players have to be able to deal with, should FromSoftware makes more changes in its mind in the future. At present, some players are dealing with it the only way they can is to search to find the latest OP build to Elden Ring Runes buy exploit.
