Turn Elden Ring into a Sekiro playthrough with this super-strong Crystal Tear
An early game item in the new Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is letting players mimic the parrying style seen in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice—basically turning the DLC into FromSoftware’s iconic shinobi title.
The item in question, the Deflecting Hard Tear, can be collected relatively early on in the DLC, right after beating the Furnace Golem that can be found stomping around the Gravesite Plains soon after the player spawns. It rewards players with a completely gamechanging mechanic many are dubbing very similar to Sekiro’s parrying system; unquestionably the 2019 release’s most famous mechanic.
