Also known as ‘stamps’

There areElden Ringmap markers. Enough said!

verify you use them to keep track of this gigantic open world.

So this is going to sound so silly, but I actually went through a full run ofElden Ring, like I’m talking 50+ hours, not realizing they existed. That’s because they’re tucked away and require an extra button push to bring up (X on Xbox, Square on PS5). I was so preoccupied with exploration and my build that I never noticed. On my second run, pre-review, I noticed them!

Elden Ring map markers

InElden Ring, map makers areextremely useful. This can be a difficult adventure, and you’re going to come across areas that are really tough that you’ll want to come back to. In my first run,I was manually writing all this stuff down. It probably makes for a better story to tell (I got this one out of it!), but it’s definitely not efficient.
