I play Elden Ring like a Hoover. I explore the The Lands Between while hammering the button to acquire new materials. In all honesty, I’ve barely bothered with crafting unless I really need to, but all those leaves, stones, shards of bone, and strips of meat? They get sucked straight up into my inventory regardless.
But then I get a really great looking item. Maybe it’s a new talisman, or an Ash of War. Maybe it’s a really important story item with a description that’s integral to the plot. But too late! It’s already gone, lost in the black hole of my inventory, never to be found again. It’s all very well finding an item while exploring, but finding it in your inventory is a whole game in itself.
Now, though, that’s a problem of the past. FromSoftware has released an update for its iconic Souls adventure that’s available for all alongside its Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. It includes two new inventory features: a recent items tab, and exclamation marks above new items. They’re game changers.
