What does the trailer show? The trailer presents 17 minutes of fresh gameplay and guides you through the first steps of Soulframe. At the beginning, you can, for example, take a look at character creation, which is somewhat different from what many games offer.
It appears that you are the likeness of your mother and decide in the initial character creation how she looks in your memory. However, the developers promise that this is only the first option to customize your character, with more to follow throughout the game.
The trailer also showcases some of the combat gameplay and exploration of the open world. It shows that you are not limited to ranged or melee combat. You can see how the character throws his shield from a distance or attacks with his bow but can also use weapons for close combat.
All in all, the trailer provides a good insight into the upcoming fantasy MMO and a nice mix of different aspects of Soulframe.
When does the demo start? A demo is also set to launch this year, where you can test Soulframe for the first time. An exact date is not yet known. However, you should be able to expect the open demo in autumn 2024. Recently, the developers reported that the name Soulframe is causing them some trouble. Because it brings unwanted comparisons with another game series.

The Pre-Patch 11.0 for World of Warcraft: The War Within is being released. MeinMMO reveals how you can download the update right now.
The era of Dragonflight is almost over in World of Warcraft. On Wednesday, the major Pre-Patch 11.0 will be released, bringing with it the key dates for the expansion “The War Within”. As usual, such a large patch comes with a fairly hefty download. So that you don’t have to start it on Wednesday, you can download most of the data in advance.

WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within
How to download Patch 11.0? To be able to download the large update in advance, you first need to enable this option in the Battle.net launcher, as it may still be disabled by default for many. You can find the option as follows:
Open the Battle.net launcher.
Select World of Warcraft and click on the gear icon next to the “Play” button, then select “Game Settings”.
In the new menu, select the “Downloads” section on the left and scroll down to “Game Updates”.
Under “Automatic Updates”, check the box for “Game-Specific Settings”.
For “World of Warcraft”, select “Latest & Future Updates”.
Confirm by clicking on “Done”.
Additionally, you can check the box for “Pause updates when a game is launched” a bit further up – in that case, patches will only be downloaded when you are not currently playing a game. This helps prevent issues such as high latency in the game due to the large download.
If it looks like this, everything is fine.
You can also check whether everything has been downloaded in the Battle.net launcher. If the pre-download is complete, a notice saying “Pre-download completed” will appear in green text under the blue “Play” button. In that case, you’ll be ready for the patch release on July 24!
Our colleagues at GameStar have created a special issue about the new WoW expansion:
Do you need to download anything on Wednesday? Yes. Even though most game data can be downloaded in advance, a small portion will only appear with the release of the patch. These are the final data necessary for installation, or they might even contain small changes from the PTR. However, this download should be significantly smaller and, in most cases, completed in just a few minutes – if not seconds.
We have explained everything included in the new patch and generally in the expansion The War Within in our comprehensive overview of The War Within. There, you can also find all information related to the story, the new areas, the hero talents, and the Warband feature.

Amazon will reintroduce the office requirement gradually. However, with “Coffee Badging,” they circumvent the obligation. Now, Amazon is taking action against this trick because they do not want to endorse it.
What are some employees doing? According to colleagues from Businessinsider, some employees are resorting to what’s called “Coffee Badging”: employees come to the office, check in, have a coffee, and then leave the office again. This way, they fulfill the presence requirement in the office.
Amazon required its employees to appear in the office three times a week, but there was no minimum hours obligation for each visit. This allowed for a rather elegant solution to the attendance requirement.
Amazon measures working hours and sets minimum for attendance requirement
What is Amazon doing now? Amazon has now started to individually measure the working hours for each person in the office and has established minimum times:
Some employees were informed that a minimum of two hours per visit is required to count as attendance in the office.
Some teams were instructed to stay for at least six hours per visit.
In an email to Businessinsider, Margaret Callahan, a spokesperson for Amazon, stated that the company has begun to speak directly with employees who have not spent enough time in the office.
Reactions to the new regulations have also been lukewarm. Some have already stated that there are surely employees who will soon find out how to circumvent this obligation. And this is not the first time Amazon has struggled with its employees.
Amazon has been struggling for months to bring people back to the office
What’s behind this: Amazon has been trying for months to bring its employees back to the office. However, Amazon has faced strong resistance from employees:
About 30,000 people signed an internal petition opposing this policy. But Amazon was undeterred and even took it a step further:
They blocked the promotion of employees who did not adhere to the work regulations.
Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy warned employees who do not comply with the guidelines that they would have to leave the company.
Right now, the “Pull Mecces Off” campaign is running at the fast-food chain McDonald’s. Along with this promotion, the company has two syrups on offer that you can pour into your cola: popcorn and passion fruit. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is into such crazy ideas and has unfortunately tried them.
Normally, food and drinks can’t be crazy enough for me. The more unusual a dish, the more I want to try it – at least if it sounds somewhat appealing. As a (nearly) trained chef, I have a pretty good idea of what can taste good and what can’t.
That’s why I was quite excited when our editor-in-chief Schuhmann shared his outrage with us: “McDonald’s now has cola with popcorn flavor!” That sounded like something I definitely want to try.
Since July 15, the chain has new additions on offer: popcorn and passion fruit syrup that you can pour into your cola or sprite. According to current information, these syrups are only available in Germany.
Still, in the same week, I was at my local McDonald’s to try the stuff. Rarely have I regretted something so much.
One person who would probably celebrate the popcorn-cola is Asmongold:

Twitch streamer and multimillionaire wants to clean his dirty house because visitors get sick and it ‘debuffs’ him
Tastes just like popcorn – But like the burnt kernels at the bottom of the bucket
I really wanted to like this cola. Not just to prove Schuhmann wrong, but also because I have experience with exactly such syrup. And from that experience, I know: it fits well with cola.
McDonald’s, however, or at least the branch here, hasn’t quite figured it out. For comparison, I ordered regular Coca Cola with the syrup. My conclusion:
The syrup tastes like popcorn, but burnt – like caramel that has been browned for too long.
Accordingly, the cola gets a distinctly bitter note that lingers on the tongue longer because of the syrup.
According to nutritional information, the syrup consists of 80% sugar (via McDonald’s), so the cola becomes quite sweet.
Here you can find the official nutritional values per 100 grams
Energy (kJ/kcal): 1352/323 per 100g (or 175/42 per serving)
The further I got down in the drink cup, the worse the whole thing became. The syrup settled at the bottom and wasn’t properly mixed.
The popcorn syrup has pleasant butter notes, as I would expect. Additionally, the bitter aftertaste makes the cola taste a bit like coffee – which really fits. Just the overall picture is simply not rounded.
I know from experience that popcorn syrup as an ingredient can work excellently. In a bar, I once had a drink with a good Jameson whiskey and popcorn syrup. One of the best drinks I have ever had and that I always order when I’m there.
Bill Gates is a co-founder of Microsoft and thinks that neither renewable energy nor nuclear fusion is the future of power supply. He is investing in a completely different project that relies on a metal you might know from chemistry class.
What kind of metal is that? Bill Gates has been investing in a specific project for many years. It involves a nuclear reactor that uses sodium.
Sodium is a so-called alkali metal and is mostly used in combination with other substances. Most commonly, you find it as part of the table salt sodium chloride or in detergents.
What does the project look like? In conventional nuclear power plants, water is used to cool the reactor. However, Gates believes that sodium is the better coolant. An initial facility currently being built in the U.S. state of Wyoming is scheduled to be operational by 2030.
It is expected to provide around 400,000 households with power at a capacity of 345 megawatts. The company behind the project, TerraPower, wants to increase the capacity to 500 MW, which can be produced in five and a half hours.
Start video
Why is the first drive in Windows always C?
Sodium offers several advantages in energy generation
What are the advantages of sodium? Sodium has several advantages compared to water:
It can absorb up to eight times more heat, allowing for higher energy production
It is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust at 2.6%, making it plentiful (via Statista)
Sodium protects better against radioactive leaks, thereby reducing the risk of accidents
Surplus power can be stored for several hours, compensating for fluctuations like those from renewable energies that rely on wind and sun
The costs are also an important factor that makes this energy source so attractive. A conventional nuclear reactor is expected to cost around 25 billion US dollars in the U.S. A sodium reactor, on the other hand, comes in at “only” 1 billion US dollars.
What does Gates say about it? Bill Gates believes that sodium is the “most advanced nuclear energy in the world.” It solves all cost and safety issues. He hopes that public perception of nuclear energy would change.
Major accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima have visibly altered the perception of nuclear energy in the world. The public may fear that similar incidents could occur with sodium-cooled reactors.

Pre-Patch 11.0 goes live
When? July 24. What happens? The big pre-patch goes live. You can download large parts of the patch in advance if you enable that in the settings of the Battle.net launcher.
Once the patch is live, the following major changes will take place:
The Warbands system goes live. Most progress is now account-wide, including the glory levels from Dragonflight.
You can learn all transmog templates, even if they are not for your armor class.
Many mounts can now switch between “sky riding” and “regular flying”. More than 400 mounts can now be used for sky riding.
Guilds are now cross-realm.
All classes will receive the talent revisions from the new expansion.
Leveling is faster as the required XP from level 1 to 70 is reduced by over 45%.
Pre-Event “Radiant Echoes”
When? July 31 to August 27. What happens? In Dalaran, a new quest line begins that introduces you to the event. At regular intervals, various echoes of past battles appear on Azeroth that need to be contained. There are various rewards, including pets, mounts, and equipment. Additionally, twinks should level very quickly during the event.
Typically, these rewards are exclusive and cannot be obtained later.
Early access to The War Within
When? August 23 – August 27. What happens? Those who pre-ordered the Epic Edition of The War Within can start playing the new expansion already now. In that case, you can already experience the story campaign, level your character to level 80, and try out new features such as the “Depths” and the hero talents. You can also level professions early. Additionally, you can explore the 8 new dungeons or create a new character as an “Earthen” – a dwarf race that joins both factions.
The start of early access is set for midnight.

The raid “Palace of the Nerub’ar” is unlocked. The mythic variant of the raid follows on September 18.
The mythic and keystone dungeons (“Mythic+”) are unlocked.
The PvP season starts and you can earn rating. For the first time, there is also a solo queue with rating.
The Depths will receive seasonal rewards and adjustments.
You can earn class sets (tier sets) to make your character even stronger.
What happens next? Even though there have already been some potential leaks about how The War Within will proceed, Blizzard has not yet made any concrete statements. However, it should be noted that the release of the new expansion coincides with the date of Gamescom, where Blizzard will be present. It is likely that there will be discussions about upcoming patches and new content.
Are you looking forward to the release of The War Within? Will you play during early access? Or are you waiting for the regular release before you delve deep into the core of Azeroth?

The 10 episodes of the new series “Those about to die” by Roland Emmerich have been released on Amazon Prime. MeinMMO series expert Schuhmann has ventured into ancient Rome and says: The parallels to Game of Thrones are clear: Many murders, intrigues, sex, and violence. The scenario most closely resembles Gladiator.
This is the situation in “Those about to die”: The series takes place 120 years after the assassination of Julius Caesar. From the civil wars, Emperor Vespasian has emerged as the ruler, a descendant of mule breeders. He has reached the end of his life and must decide which son should succeed him:
Titus is a noble Roman and warrior who has subjugated the Jews but has taken their queen as his mistress back to Rome, which is not appreciated there.
Domitian is a weaselly politician who delights in young boys, places high bets on chariot races, and always seems to be brewing an intrigue.
The situation in Rome is tense: The people are starving, and the grain from Egypt simply isn’t arriving. The restless populace must be appeased with chariot races and gladiatorial fights. And then there’s that volcano near Pompeii.

The psycho from Game of Thrones is the main character of the new series on Amazon
Tenax runs a betting house and mainly operates in the Circus Maximus and its catacombs. He has already made his fortune, and now he wants to rise in society: Tenax wants to open his own racing stable, which is usually reserved for the old nobility. To rise, he will go over corpses. For in Rome, you either ascend or die trying, as he knows.
To help him rise, he has the drunken racer Scorpus, who speaks of himself only in the third person. Scorpus likes to celebrate racing victories with wine and women.
How do we get to know Rome? Just as we explore the world of Westeros through the eyes of the Stark children in Game of Thrones, we see Rome through the eyes of two families of newcomers:
One family comes from present-day Tunisia: Cala (Sara Martin from Death in Paradise) comes to Rome to ransom her 3 abducted children. Her son Kwame will fight in the arena.
3 young men come from present-day Spain to Rome and want to sell their magnificent horses there. They will enter the business of chariot racing.
A third family whose fate we follow belongs to the old nobility of Rome: Consul Marsus and his wife Antonia own the dominant racing stable, “the Blues,” and strive for political power. It cannot be that the descendant of a mule breeder sits on the throne.
The oldest son of the emperor, Titus, is considered the model Roman.
As bloody as Game of Thrones, but not as clever
So much Game of Thrones is in “Those about to die”: A lot of violence and sex, definitely. There are already severed limbs, or it is enjoyed by four together. However, sex often takes a back seat – the series is rated 16, as it is often only suggested, but not lingered on with the camera.
Additionally, the new series on Amazon offers political power games and indulges in the trend of main characters unexpectedly dying. While there are no major battles, there are bloody duels in the arena.
With Iwan Rheon, viewers know the main actor from Game of Thrones. The “biggest name” in the cast, Anthony Hopkins as Emperor Vespasian, does not play a large role in the series – he is similar to Sean Bean in Game of Thrones, primarily a big name for trailers and posters.
“Those about to die” is not as clever and surprising as Game of Thrones. While there are intrigues, they proceed linearly. The motivation of each character is clearly recognizable. The vibrant side characters from George R.R. Martin are sorely missed; the characters are morally gray but largely remain in their defined roles and do not surprise.
From Game of Thrones, the characters have the pragmatic approach. They are also driven by emotions and moods. Even the so-called heroes are capable of acts of cruelty if the mood strikes. A life holds little value in Rome.
The great Scorpus.
Many chariot races in the arena
So much gladiator is in “Those about to die”: The focus is more on the chariot races than on the gladiatorial fights, roughly in a ratio of two to one. We get to know 5 charioteers but only 3 gladiators, including the enormous “Flamma,” a gigantic warrior who seems to spring directly from “300”.
Towards the end of the series, there are some spectacular scenes in the new Flavian amphitheater, where exotic animals come into play.
This is Flamma. Anyone who fights against him already knows their date of death.
Who is “Those about to die” worth it for? The series is solid, but one should not expect a masterpiece; despite Roland Emmerich and supposedly more than $140 million, the budget probably just wasn’t there. Those looking forward to complex plots or great dialogues will likely be disappointed.
Anyone who had difficulty remembering too many names and following too many plots in Game of Thrones will not have that problem with “Those about to die”. The series operates at a similar narrative level as “Last Kingdom”: a series with multiple plots that ultimately does not delve as deeply into the material as Vikings or Game of Thrones but also asks less of its viewers.
The series is reminiscent of the “SPQR” novels by John Maddox Roberts, which take place 100 years earlier.
A problem with the series is that one never really knows how powerful the individual characters are and how many resources they possess. Can Tenax hire five street fighters or fifty? How well protected is a Roman emperor when he is traveling “with full escort”? How powerful is a consul, and how much power can really be bought with wealth? All questions that remain unanswered.
“Those about to die” offers 10 episodes of good, solid television fare. The close focus on chariot racing and gladiatorial fights makes the series somewhat monotonous over time. But there are always nice highlights and exciting scenes – and ancient Rome provides a fascinating backdrop that has been underrepresented in recent years.
While the series takes some historical liberties to seem even more dramatic than ancient Rome already was.
Where can you watch it? Those about to die is available on Amazon Prime in German. The series is rated 16.
Game of Thrones, with its many characters and plots, was a delight for many fantasy fans, especially in the early episodes. For those who crave more series material in this direction, we have compiled this list: 11 series like Game of Thrones

One of the quests in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree revolves around Moore. We’ll show you where to find him and how to complete his quest step by step.
Update, July 11, 2024: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.
Who is Moore? Moore is a new NPC in Shadow of the Erdtree. He comes with his own quest, just like Ansbach, Thiollier, or Ymir. Moore also acts as a merchant. He is a follower of Miquella. You might encounter him shortly after starting the expansion, provided you move in the correct direction.
We’ll show you where to find the guy and how to solve his quest. With our table of contents, you can jump directly to a point of interest.

Finding Moore
Where do you find the NPC? You first encounter Moore at the grace point “Cross at the Main Gate.” This checkpoint is located right in front of the first legacy dungeon Tower Settlement Belurat. If you are a bit further away, you can recognize the dungeon by the twisted columns in front of the entrances.
You can find Moore at the grace point here.
Moore sits at the grace point in front of the steps and initially acts as a merchant here. You can buy various items from him. Some of these help with resistances, such as the “Fireproof Cooked Liver,” which is useful in the fight against Messmer because it provides more protection against fire attacks.
Also, buy the “Note – Sealed Ghost Sources” because it will give you hints about secret paths in the game world.
Talk to Moore. He will tell you that he enjoys finding things for others. He also mentions the so-called “Collector’s Brood.” These are admittedly somewhat creepy creatures that possess crafting books. You need those to craft items yourself.
Finding the Collector’s Brood
What happens next? Now you need to find the creatures scattered throughout the game world and acquire the crafting books from them. With them, you can craft valuable items like the mentioned livers yourself and no longer have to buy them.
Important: The Collector’s Brood is easily confused with an enemy. So be careful when you see a creature like the one in the picture below. Do not attack them, but approach and speak to the Collector’s Brood.
Once you have spoken to them, you will receive the corresponding manual. However, if you attack the brood, Moore will also become hostile, attack you, and the quest will fail. The same goes if Moore dies for any reason. The strange creatures and their crafting books will then disappear.
The Locations of the Collector’s Brood on the Map
Where you can exactly find the Collector’s Brood in the game world is shown on the map:
You can find the Collector’s Brood at these spots.
As mentioned, in most cases, it is enough to simply talk to the Collector’s Brood. Only one of them, number 4, cannot be interacted with. She is sick and sleeps and must first be healed and awakened with a Warming Stone. Afterward, you will also receive her crafting book (4).
Then return to Moore. As a thank you, he will give you the manual 7 of the Collector’s Brood.
What is the next step? Once the Great Rune has been shattered in the game world, return to Moore. You will recognize this event by a loud noise that preferably occurs in front of the Shadow Keep or in Bonny Village.
Back at Moore, who is still sitting in front of Belurat, speak to him again. He will tell you that Miquella’s light is now gone. He also asks if he must now be sad forever.
You now have three different answers to choose from:
Let it go: If you choose this answer, he will side with you in the boss fight against Leda. You will have to fight him, but as a reward, you will get his gear.
Be sad forever: The NPC takes your advice to heart and disappears at this point. If you want his gear, you can find Moore’s corpse at the Crusade Church, where you previously healed a Collector’s Brood.
I don’t know: If you choose this answer, Moore will remain sitting in this spot. You won’t receive his gear this way. Speak to him once more to give him a definite answer.
Warning: All this must happen before burning the Scadubaum. Otherwise, the quest may automatically fail. Complete all NPC quests before this point in the game.
Receiving the Reward
Depending on which answer you chose, Moore’s quest ends in a fight or with the sad death of the NPC. In both cases, you will receive Moore’s Sound Pearl, the Verdigris Armor Set, and the Verdigris Greatshield as a reward.
That concludes the quest. Have you already found and completed other NPC quests in Shadow of the Erdtree? As is typical for FromSoftware, it’s not always straightforward. If you’re looking for more guides to Elden Ring, you can find a range of guides on MeinMMO.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In this guide to Elden Ring, we show you how to complete the quest of Thiollier, one of the new NPCs from the DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”.
Where can you find Thiollier? The quest of this NPC is one of the side stories in the Elden Ring DLC. Thiollier is a follower of St. Trina, the goddess of sleep.
You will find him early in the DLC, in the east of the Gravefield Plain. From the grace “Three-Way Crossroads”, ride northeast and cross the large bridge, behind which lies Castle Ensis. Before that, turn right and follow the path south.
Where the path forks, choose the descending path and reach a cliff where you will find the grace “Cross at the Columned Hall”. Next to one of the valuable Scadubaum fragments, for which you can find a separate guide on MeinMMO here, you will also meet Thiollier.
Location of Thiollier
He tells you that he follows Miquella and that he is well-versed in poison. From now on, he is available as a merchant. We will now show you all the steps to complete the Thiollier quest. With our directory, you can quickly jump to the individual steps.

Solve Thiollier’s Quest – All Steps
How do you solve the quest? To solve the quest involving Thiollier, you must first find St. Trina at the rift in the stone coffin. This NPC is essential for continuing Thiollier’s journey.
Find the Rift in the Stone Coffin
How do you find the Rift in the Stone Coffin? Start from the grace “Front of the Castle” in front of Castle Ensis and ride southeast until you reach a poisonous swamp. From there, follow the path north to a riverbed. Now proceed west, where you will find a tunnel that leads to the grace “Cave at Ellac”.
A picture depicting the necessary route
From there, go along the river south. You need to jump over the rocks and overcome some platforming. Work your way down to the next grace. Jump further down, pass the furnace golem, and reach the Sky Blue Shore along with its grace.
Ride south to the tip of the peninsula. Look for a hole in the ground, the rift.
From the grace “Cross at the Sky Blue Shore”, continue south.
Warning: This part of the area can only be explored after Miquella’s seal is broken. This happens when you approach the entrance of Castle Shadowbergfried. You will then hear a loud noise.
Defeat the Rot Knight and Find the Deep Violet Garden
Once the seal is destroyed, you can descend into the rift. This will take you to the underground area “Rift in the Stone Coffin”. Many guardians guard the ruin, so be prepared for ranged combat. To reach its end, you must defeat the boss Rot Knight. Thiollier can be summoned as an NPC.
The Rot Knight is agile and can quickly move around the arena on his horse. Also, watch out for his ranged attacks and throwing blade, which he likes to throw through the air like a boomerang.
After the fight, you will enter the Deep Violet Garden and thus find the whereabouts of St. Trina. Return to Thiollier and tell him about it. He will travel there and will be in a strange state afterwards.
What are the next steps? Talk to St. Trina. Choose the option “Revive at the Nectar” in the dialogue. This will lead to your immediate death. You must perform the same action three more times, for a total of four deaths.
Afterward, you will hear St. Trina’s voice during your demise. Then talk to Thiollier again, who has remained on the spot and wants to fall asleep. Choose the dialogue option “Pass on St. Trina’s words”. Then Thiollier will become angry and furious that you were able to hear St. Trina’s words.
You must drink the poison once more, after which you will be thrown into an arena where you will encounter Thiollier. He shouldn’t pose much of a problem. Once he is defeated, return to St. Trina and drink the nectar one more time. She will give you the task to kill Miquella.
How do you complete the quest? Once you have defeated Messmer, you can burn the Scadubaum. Be careful, after this event there is no going back, so complete any other quests by then.
Return to St. Trina once more. Although you have defeated him, you will still find Thiollier in the cave. He lies there on the ground lamenting that he could not fulfill all his wishes. Drink the nectar one last time, talk to Thiollier again, and hear him say: “A-Ah.” Once you have done this, you can summon the NPC in the battle against Leda and her allies.
This concludes the quest. For the final boss, summon him one more time. After the fight, Thiollier will drop his equipment. At this point, Thiollier’s quest ends. Are you looking for more guides for Elden Ring? On MeinMMO we have compiled an overview for you.

Ansbach is one of the new NPCs in the DLC of Elden Ring. In this guide, we will show you how to complete his quest and summon him for the final boss.
Update, July 11, 2024: We have reviewed the article, and it is up to date.
Where can you find Ansbach? The quest from Ansbach starts shortly after the beginning of the DLC, provided you head towards Castle Belurat. Before the entrance, you will find the Site of Grace “Cross at the Main Gate,” and next to it, the desired NPC.
There is also one of the valuable Scadubaum fragments here. Be sure to pick it up to enhance your character, and talk to Ansbach. He will explain to you that his proud days as a warrior are over.
Here you will find Ansbach for the first time.
He asks you to find all of Miquella’s crosses in the game world and let him know. This starts the quest. We will show you the further steps below. You can jump directly to what you want with the table of contents.

Elden Ring DLC: Collecting Scadubaum Fragments – Here’s Why They’re Important and How to Get Them
Solve Ansbach’s Quest – All Steps
What are the next steps? When you reach Scadu Altus, the Great Rune breaks, which you will notice by a loud sound. You will also receive a notification about it.
Return to Ansbach and speak with him again. He will then head to the Shadow Keep.
Find Ansbach in the Shadow Keep
Where is Ansbach located next? Fight your way through the large legacy dungeon to the Site of Grace “Warehouse, Ground Floor.” From there, ignore the passage on the left and follow the narrow level path up the stairs to the first mezzanine. Some steps lead to a room where Ansbach is waiting for you.
Travel to the Warehouse, Ground Floor in the Shadow KeepAnsbach is in a room after you have climbed the first stairs
He studies a book and talks to you. Exhaust all dialogue options. This step is thus complete.
Find the Secret Ritual Scroll
Where can you find the scroll? This item is essential for progressing the quest. You will find the scroll when you continue upwards in the Shadow Keep and find the Site of Grace “Warehouse, Third Floor.”
Start from here.
There, next to another Scadubaum fragment, is also an item. It is a letter from Ansbach. Take it with you, continue towards the west, and then southeast up the stairs. Clear the enemies out of the way or run past them. On the left, a staircase leads down. Take the next door and enter a room with some bookshelves.
There you will find the sought-after scroll. Take it with you. You now have the option to either give it to Ansbach or not. If you choose not to, the quest will not continue. We therefore recommend handing Ansbach his scroll. But wait a moment with that, otherwise you might miss another NPC.
Find Freya
On the sixth floor of the Shadow Keep, you will meet the NPC Freya at the Site of Grace. Her quest is connected to Ansbach’s. Talk to her and then return to Ansbach. For the next step of the quest to unlock, you need to rest at a Grace site.
This is where it startsFreya is located near a fireplace on the upper floors
Hand Over the Letter to Freya
The next time you talk to Ansbach, he will give you a letter to Freya. Take it back to the sixth floor and speak with Freya a few more times. Once all dialogue options are exhausted, you will receive the Golden Lion Shield.
After speaking with her, you can return to Ansbach one last time on the first floor to give him his scroll.
Defend or Fight Ansbach against Leda
How does the quest continue? Travel to the Site of Grace “Cross on the High Road.” There, talk to Leda, who will now reveal that she wants to kill Ansbach. You can help her – if you want.
Leda tells you about her plans.
Return to the Shadow Keep and to the room where Ansbach used to stand. He is now gone, and two summoning signs are on the ground. Here you can choose to aid either Leda or Ansbach in the fight against each other.
If you help Leda, Ansbach’s quest ends here, and he will not be available later. If you help him instead, you can summon him for later bosses. If you want to make things easier for yourself, we recommend this option.
Warning: This step can only be completed if you have previously helped Leda against the Horn Herald. Additionally, Messmer must not be dead in the Shadow Keep.
How does Ansbach’s quest end? If you help the guy, you will receive Ansbach’s Longbow and Leda’s Rune, which is always worth 40,000 runes.
After you have burned the Scadubaum, the quest enters its final phase. Note that you must also complete any other NPC quests before this point, or else some may fail.
Just before the final boss, Leda and her allies will confront you once again. Here you can summon Ansbach for the first time to help.
Summon Ansbach for the Final Boss
Your efforts will also pay off against the great final opponent of the expansion. After defeating Leda, you will meet Ansbach and can talk to him. Once you have done that, you can summon the NPC to help you in the final boss fight.
If he is dead in the dust, some of your nerves may have been more than strained. Good thing there is at least a reward. After the fight, you will find Ansbach’s body in the arena. From him, you can loot his equipment and the weapon Obsidian Lamina.
If you follow our steps, you can easily solve the quest. However, Ansbach is just one of several NPCs that bring their own quest in Shadow of the Erdtree. If you are looking for more guides, we have plenty on MeinMMO for you. Feel free to check out our overview of Elden Ring.

The most important thing about a horror movie is probably the monster or antagonist that the protagonists are up against. Ghostface, Jason, or Michael Myers are icons of pop culture. But there are also villains that you couldn’t even imagine in your dreams. We present 7 of them here.
How was this ranking created? The ranking is based on villains from all sorts of horror movies. An unusual premise or simply the absurdity of the villain is taken into account.
The ranking ranges from barely believable to totally absurd. If you have another pick for this list, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Killer Klowns are the most normal pick on this list:

Basically immortal
Chucky was actually the serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who transferred his soul into a Good Guy doll shortly before his death through voodoo magic, thus becoming Chucky. Chucky is basically immortal, but his greatest weakness is his arrogance, and he is just a man in a doll’s body. MyMMO editor Nikolas Hernes is also a big fan of the Chucky series: The Chucky series has everything to become the perfect trash – But it is surprisingly good

The DLC of Elden Ring requires a good build to take down the challenging bosses. We have a strength build for you that makes quick work of them and is also very flexible.
Strength is one of the most important stats in Elden Ring, and weapons that scale with it usually deal decent damage. This is especially required in the new DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, as the expansion raises the difficulty level even further.
Very convenient: The following build is extremely flexible regarding your weapon choice. This means that with the build, you can use most strength weapons in the game, depending on your preferred playstyle.

Elden Ring introduces the boss enemies of the DLC
Leveling the Strength Build Properly
What to level up? In our proposed build, “Strength” is of course the main attribute in focus. Because corresponding weapons scale with it, and the higher your strength level, the more damage you deal.
To play the build as we specify, you should have already reached level 150. This is already a good point to start in the DLC – so it’s practical if you have a strong build with you.
This is how you level up: The skill points for the strength build are distributed as follows:
Strength: 50
Mind: 10
Endurance: 29
Strength: 65
Dexterity: 17
Intelligence: 10
Faith: 25
Arcane: 23
At the start, you should ideally choose the Vagabond class. With its balanced attribute distribution, it has the best prerequisites to build any character. We will now explain why our points are distributed this way. As you can see, most points are invested in strength. You only need to level dexterity up to level 17, which is sufficient for most strength weapons in the game.
23 points in Arcane are required to use the weapon “Executioner’s Sword of the Marais.” If you don’t want that anyway, you can invest these points elsewhere. For example, in more strength, whose last “soft cap” is at 80. Beyond that, further levels in the attribute are hardly worthwhile.
Strength Build – Weapons
Which weapons should you use? As already mentioned, this is the big advantage of this build: You have the choice. Nevertheless, we would like to give you a few tips.
The great advantage of many strength weapons is that they deal a lot of poise damage in a short time. If you deal enough poise damage in a very short time, it will break on your opponent. Then you can land a critical hit on the glowing spot and deal an extreme amount of damage.
The following weapons are suitable for this purpose:
Great Sword
Ordovis’ Great Sword
Blasphemous Blade
Siluria’s Tree
Giant Crusher
Of course, your weapon should be upgraded to the maximum. But that’s not enough, you should also have the right selection of Ashes of War, Talismans, and a suitable potion mix with you.
Which Ashes of War are good? To enhance your weapons with abilities, you can choose an Ash of War. We particularly recommend the following three:
Lion’s Claw: With this, you perform a somersault and deal a lot of poise damage. Usually, the poise will break after two or three uses. Additionally, your poise cannot be broken.
Stonecutting Claw: Physical damage is increased by 15%, and poise damage by 10%.
Courage of the Knight’s Vow: With this, you deal 80% more damage on the next hit.
The three recommended Ashes of War.
Which Talismans should you have? We recommend the following Talismans:
Ritual Shield Talisman: Increases attack power by 10% when at maximum HP
Axe Talisman: Enhances charged attacks by 10%
Shard of Alexander: Increases damage dealt with abilities by 15%
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman: Increases resistance to physical damage by 20%
These are the Talismans.
If you do not have abilities in your weapons, you can also replace the Shard of Alexander with the following alternatives:
Two-Handed Sword Talisman: Enhances attacks with two-handed weapons (only found in the DLC)
Green Turtle Talisman: Accelerates stamina regeneration
Great Jar’s Arsenal: Greatly increases maximum equip load (to wear heavier armor)
Which Tears should be in the potion mix? We recommend the following combination of Tears:
Strength Knot Crystal Tear: Increases your strength by 10 points
Cracked Rock Spike Tear: Increases your poise damage by 30%
The two Tears in the mix.
Armor for the Build
Which armor should you take? In general, your build should have enough poise and a good overall weight of your armor. You should reach the minimum poise of 51, otherwise you will be staggered by the enemies’ attacks.
The actual weight of your armor, on the other hand, is relevant when it comes to dodging and stamina consumption. Clearly: The heavier your equipment, the more you carry around, increasing your load. This results in a slow, cumbersome roll, for example. Therefore, always try to maintain at least a medium load so that you can roll quickly enough.
If you keep all of this in check, you can basically wear any armor you want, with a particularly strong option being the Veteran’s Set or Radahn’s Set.
With this build, you should do well through the DLC, but of course also through the main game. Feel free to share your ideas on how you prefer to play with strength characters. On MeinMMO, you will find more guides on the topic of Elden Ring, and currently, also on the DLC. Here you can find the overview of all guides.

In Once Human, there are numerous different resources that you need for crafting and expanding your base. We will show you how to obtain fireproof plastic in the game on Steam.
Especially when you want to craft better weapons and armor, you will need fireproof plastic in Once Human. You also need this resource for the expansion of your base.
Here’s how to get fireproof plastic: There are three methods to obtain fireproof plastic:
You are lucky when opening supply crates in various locations
You receive it from the scrap you collect and dismantle during your travels
You get it as rewards when you explore locations
The best area for farming fireproof plastic is the “Iron River” region (Level 21–28). You should check the following locations when searching for the resource:
Greywater Industrial Zone (Level 23)
Refinery Pollution Point (Level 23)
Riverhart Port (Level 23)
Exhausted Oil Well (Level 24)
Wind Farm (Level 28)
In locations in Iron River, you will find fireproof plastic.
If you have collected scrap during your explorations, you should dismantle it at your dismantling bench in the base. This will give you many important resources needed for crafting and expanding your base – including fireproof plastic.
What do I need fireproof plastic for? In Once Human, weapons and armor items have different tiers. For crafting, depending on the tier, you will require certain materials. For weapons and armor of Tier 3, fireproof plastic is required, among other materials. The plastic also plays a role in upgrading your motorcycle – such as for better tires and a larger tank.
You will also need the plastic for building various machines and elements in your base, including the advanced equipment workbench and the solar generator, which powers your machines. For that, you will also need refined parts. You can find out where to get that material here: Once Human: How to get refined parts – Here’s how to find the rare resource

Do you want to improve your defense in FIFA 23 with a strong goalkeeper talent? Then you’ll find here goalkeepers with potential for the career mode.
What does a goalkeeper talent bring in the FIFA 23 career mode? Every team should have a strong goalkeeper. A reliable support is crucial for the defense and can secure you one or two points in the FIFA 23 career mode.
If you sign one of the best talents early in your career, the keeper can develop over the years and thus become a crucial part of your team. Since a goalkeeper plays in almost every match, their development should progress fairly quickly.
The advantage of young goalkeepers is that they are usually not very expensive – with a few exceptions. After a few years, however, they can cost quite a bit of money (or bring in money when you sell them). Therefore, it is worth signing a strong goalkeeper talent early in your career.
However, keep the following points in mind regarding goalkeeper talents:
Potential is dynamic. Depending on training and match performance, the overall rating can end up being higher or lower.
The market value is not fixed. You can also get keepers at a better price if you make a corresponding offer. However, you risk that your counterpart may end negotiations prematurely. On the other hand, you can also be taken advantage of if too much is demanded.
In the following list, you will find strong goalkeeper talents ordered by potential. Further down, you will also find particularly inexpensive goalkeepers.
FIFA 23: Best goalkeeper talents with the highest potential
These are the best goalkeeper talents: In the first list, you will find the 10 goalkeepers under 23 years old with the highest potential in the career mode. However, keep in mind: Some of them are already expensive, established stars who can become costly.
FIFA 23: Affordable goalkeeper talents for the career mode
What kind of list is this? Here you will find another list of goalkeepers under 23 years old, but with a maximum market value of 10 million. They start at low overall ratings but can quickly rise and bring you a profit.

In the new DLC of Elden Ring, you can find the Horn Herald who is on a revenge quest. We will show you how to start his quest, find his locations, and get his items in our guide.
The article was updated on July 22, 2024, reviewed, and is up-to-date.
Where can I find the Horn Herald? You can find the Horn Herald right at the beginning of your journey at the Grace site “Three-Way Crossroad.” Talk to him to introduce yourself, but don’t be surprised – the Horn Herald has no love for the tarnished and is grumpy.
First location of the Horn Herald
After talking to him, the quest will start and you will now have to complete a few tasks to get his items.
We will show you step by step what you need to do for the Horn Herald’s quest and how you can find his locations. With our directory, you can jump to the individual steps of the quest.

Elden Ring DLC: Collecting Scadubaum Fragments – Here’s Why They’re Important and How to Get Them
Talk to the Horn Herald after the Rune is broken
To break the Rune of Miquella and thus end his hypnosis over the other NPCs, you should visit the Shadow Castle. Places like the Ruins of Rauh or the Bonny Village may also work. You will know the Rune is broken when you hear a loud bang paired with a message.
If the Rune is broken, you need to talk to the Horn Herald at the Grace site “Cross at the High Road.”
Second location of the Horn Herald
Suggest Leda as a target for the Horn Herald
After talking to the Horn Herald, you need to rest at the Grace site “Cross at the High Road.” Now stand up and talk to Leda, who is also nearby. She will fall into her bloodlust and want to kill NPCs that stand in Miquella’s way. Unfortunately, she does not know who to defeat first, and you can suggest the Horn Herald to her.
IMPORTANT: This step is not important and therefore optional. However, if you want to reach Leda’s or the Horn Herald’s items faster, you can suggest Leda to make the Horn Herald her first target.
Defeat or assist the Horn Herald in the fight against Leda
If you have given Leda the tip for her first target, you need to travel to the Shadow Castle at the Grace site “Place at the Main Gate.” Now use the right shortcut, walk through the huge gate past the shadow militia, and up the stairs. Right after the stairs, you will see two summoning symbols – one red and one yellow.
Third location of the Horn Herald
Red summoning symbol – Assist Leda
Reward: Horn Herald armor set, Falx (scimitar)
Yellow summoning symbol – Assist the Horn Herald
Reward: War ashes: Quick cut, Leda’s Rune
Depending on which symbol you choose, the quest from the Horn Herald will continue or end. We recommend supporting the Horn Herald against Leda, as you will later get the items from the NPC anyway.
Summon the Horn Herald at Messmer
If you have helped the Horn Herald, you now need to look for the Grace site “Entrance to the Dark Chamber” in the Shadow Castle. From there, you start the boss fight against Messmer. Now you need to summon the NPC. You can only do this in the arena, so you need to catch a good moment when the boss does not greet you with a spear. Now defeat Messmer together.
Talk to the Horn Herald after the fight against Messmer
If you have survived the fight against Messmer, you should rest at the new Grace site “Messmer’s Dark Chamber.” Now, the Horn Herald will appear before Messmer’s throne. Talk to him to get new info about his next steps as a avenger. Once you have exhausted all his dialogue options, you must visit his last location.
Defeat the Horn Herald in the Ruins of Rauh
After talking to the Horn Herald in Messmer’s chamber, you must make your way to the Ruins of Rauh. Start from the Grace site “Ancient Ruins of Rauh, East” and cross the broken aqueduct to the southwest.
Just before leaving the broken aqueduct, you will see a small path on the right side. Follow this until you see a cliff. Jump over it with a sprint and your horse, and then ride past the Miranda flowers to the southwest.
Fourth location of the Horn Herald
You will then see a large platform that you can use as an elevator. Ride all the way up and then jump past the shadows to the next lower level. Stay left until you have escaped the enemies and can follow a straight path to the southeast.
At the end of the path, take a right turn until you arrive on the other side of the plane. Now take the left path upward to gain height. Now you can turn 90 degrees to the right and will discover a cave with vermin and Scarlet Rot.
Ride past it with your horse and keep to the left until you find another elevator platform. Activate it and ride upward. Once at the top, you will see a large staircase in front of you. Now walk towards the stairs and greet the Horn Herald who will challenge you as an intruder.
What rewards are there? Once you have completed the Horn Herald’s quest, you will receive the Horn Herald set and the weapon Falx:
The armor set of the Horn HeraldThe bloody swords “Falx”
The weapon consists of two scimitars that can cause bleeding damage. They cannot carry war ashes, but are extremely deadly due to their talent.
As for the armor, it is rather mediocre and offers little protection. However, the Horn Herald’s mask can surely find a place in one or the other fashion set.
Can I summon the Horn Herald at the final boss? The Horn Herald belongs to the NPCs that are not friendly to you, no matter what you do or how you do it. Either you defeat him with Leda or later in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. You cannot appease him as his desire for revenge is so great that it will drive him to attack you sooner or later.
However, there is an interesting interaction when you receive a scorpion stew from the Horn Herald Grandam in Belurat. If you give this to the Horn Herald, he will gift you an oven face – for nostalgic reasons.
That was all the important info about the quest of the Horn Herald. Which NPC quests do you like, have you completed them all or missed some?

In the DLC of Elden Ring, there are 42 bosses that you can defeat. Some of them are relevant to the story, while others guard dungeons and small caves. We will show you all the bosses on the map and provide you with a sequence in which you should defeat them.
Update, July 22, 2024: The article has been checked, updated, and is now up to date.
How many bosses are there in the DLC? Currently, there are 42 bosses in the DLC of Elden Ring (as of July 22, 2024, 02:00 AM). Four of them are major bosses that need to be defeated to reach the final boss and complete the DLC.
We will now list all the bosses and reveal their locations.

All optional bosses can be found in their tables, sorted by their locations. With our directory, you can jump to the individual items on our list:

MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz has completed the leveling phase of Dawntrail and had some fun with Final Fantasy XIV. However, he only reluctantly recalls about a dozen quests from the new continent of Tural.
By a stroke of luck, the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail coincided with the beginning of my two-week summer vacation. And indeed, besides visiting the lakes in Leipzig, enjoying long naps with the little one, and series evenings with my wife (especially The Orville), there was enough time to explore Eorzea and level up the monk to level 100.
The mixed judgment of the community after the launch I can certainly understand in hindsight. The story gets off to a slow start despite the extensive cutscenes, and the rather supporting role next to Wuk Lamat is unfamiliar. However, what bothered me the most were certain quest types that have never been fun for me in any online RPG.
The launch trailer for FFXIV: Dawntrail gets you ready for the expansion:

Escort, accompany, follow – ugh!
I likely completed my first escort quests sometime in 2005. In the Caves of Wailing from World of Warcraft, a Tauren druid has to be brought alive through half the instance. However, he didn’t run; instead, he sluggishly trudged through the dungeon, only to stop every few meters for a break. God, what a waste of time on two legs. How annoyed I was!
Similar feelings were stirred in me by at least a dozen quests from Dawntrail (why did there have to be so many?!), in which I had to escort NPCs through dangerous areas, accompany them through peaceful zones, or stealthily follow them.
Of course, these tasks are handled much more modernly in 2024 than almost 20 years ago. The residents of Eorzea can do more than just stroll and are no longer constantly out of breath. In the peaceful accompany quests, you can even use the city’s Aetherites to reach your destination as quickly as possible.
All this does not change the fact that these assignments still annoy me. They take the pace out of the gaming experience, offer no excitement or fun, and limit my freedom and flexibility for a certain period. If you break out of the specified framework of the quest, it often fails immediately, and you have to start over. Annoying!
Fortunately, there were also some highlights during the leveling phase of Dawntrail, especially whenever a dungeon, a challenging duel, or a raid challenge was on the agenda. I particularly enjoy the combat events where I can step into different roles for a while and use fresh skills. More of that in the future, Yoshi-P!
In a survey on MeinMMO, we wanted to know from you which anime you liked best from the earlier RTL2 television program. Almost one in three of you has a clear winner.
The anime program on RTL2 was the first point of contact for a whole generation after school. Various anime series played repeatedly on the TV channel during lunchtime. MeinMMO wanted to know, which of the animes you enjoyed watching the most.
These are the results: 1,314 people participated in the survey. You could cast your vote for the anime series you liked watching the most. Since the selection was so large, we gave you three votes.
Here we list which anime series made it to places 4-10:
Place 10: Naruto (4%, 85 votes)
Place 9: Pokémon (5%, 101 votes)
Place 8: Inu Yasha (5%, 103 votes)
Place 7: Ranma ½ (5%, 109 votes)
Place 6: Sailor Moon (5%, 110 votes)
Place 5: Yu-Gi-Oh! (5%, 117 votes)
Place 4: Digimon (8%, 175 votes)
Digimon just missed out on the top 3 of the best anime series. Although Pokémon is the larger franchise, the series managed to gain some votes ahead of Pokémon. On the other hand, Jeanne, the Kamikaze thief, narrowly missed the jump into the top 10. Additionally, there are three animes that did not receive a single vote: Calimero, Hamtaro, and Pretty Cure.
Even today, feature films about Digimon are regularly released. Check out the trailer for Digimon Adventure 02 – The Beginning here:

Besides that, you mentioned your preferences outside of the channel and other animes that were not in the preliminary selection:
User Zischrot believes that we should have included the best anime series of the late 80s in the preliminary selection. For him, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is “the absolute best.”
Blackstone30 enjoyed watching not only Sailor Moon and Detective Conan after school but also Die Kickers and Mila Superstar. He also liked Captain Planet, Biker Mice from Mars, and Samurai Pizza Cats on television, even though not everything aired on RTL2.
Unfortunately, for N0ma, there was no anime he watched on RTL2. His last ones were Bezerk, Hell’s Paradise, and Claymore. Maybe you have a tip for him about which RTL2 animes might suit him?
Sutil did not only watch RTL2, but also animated series like Ariel, The Gummy Bear Bunch, Chip & Dale, and Aladdin.
We will introduce the top three places in more detail. One anime clearly stood out from the others – even though it does not have 1,000 episodes like the other two series.
The anime for Detective Conan started in 1996. Hard to believe, but the series is still ongoing. There are now over 1,129 episodes in which Conan Edogawa solves various cases. He has the unique characteristic of actually being a high school student named Shinichi Kudo, who is trapped in the body of a child due to the side effect of a poison.
Place 2: One Piece
Result: 11% with 247 votes
Your favorite pirate crew made it to place 2. The anime series set sail in 1999. Since then, over 1,112 episodes have been produced in which Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates embark on the wildest adventures. According to mangaka Eiichiro Oda, an ending is in sight – however, he has postponed his deadline for the conclusion of the story several times.
Place 1: Dragon Ball
Result: 32% with 713 votes
Taking the throne of your favorite RTL2 animes is Dragon Ball with great ease. Almost one in three of you preferred to watch the Saiyan during the afternoon program. From the original series from 1986, we now have Dragon Ball Z (1989), Dragon Ball GT (1996), and Dragon Ball Super (2015).
