A character in the DLC of Elden Ring screams and moans a lot, yet still captures the hearts of the fans

Revive at the Nectar and Defeat Thiollier

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.

Summon Thiollier at the Final Boss

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.

Elden Ring DLC: Sir Ansbach Quest – Locations, Ritual Scroll, Rewards

Christoph Waldboth 22. July 2024 Reading time 5 minutes

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.

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.

Autoplay

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

End of the Quest

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.

Elden Ring: The best strength build will safely guide you through the DLC – Here’s how to play it

Christoph Waldboth 22. July 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

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.

The bosses are significantly stronger than in the main game, so much so that many players are currently criticizing just that about the DLC. If you’re interested in traversing the Shadowlands with a strength build, we have a good one for you.

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.

[toc]

Start video

Elden Ring introduces the boss enemies of the DLC

Autoplay

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.

Once Human: All Guides, Beginner Tips and Tricks Overview

Ashes of War, Talismans and Potion Mix

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.

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%

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%

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.

The 7 most unusual horror killers you can’t imagine

Niko Hernes 22. July 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

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:

Talent with various weapons
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.

Once Human: Finding Fireproof Plastic – Here’s How to Get the Resource

Nicole Wakulczyk 22. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

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)

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.

FIFA 23: Best Goalkeeper Talents – Goalkeepers with Potential for Career Mode

Max Handwerk 22. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

You can find more talents here:

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.

Elden Ring: Horned Herald Quest – How to defeat Leda and assist the NPC

Christos Tsogos 22. July 2024 Reading time 5 minutes

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.

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

Autoplay

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.”

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.

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.

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:

Elden-Ring-Hornherold-Set-Rüstung — The armor set of the Horn Herald

Elden-Ring-Falx — The armor set of the Horn Herald

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?

Elden Ring DLC: All bosses and their order – This is how you can find them on the map

Christos Tsogos 22. July 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

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:

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail celebrates a certain type of quests that I simply hate

Karsten Scholz 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

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!

The occasional rays of hope

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!

How much fun do escort, accompany, and follow quests in MMORPGs bring you? Can you think of positive examples of such assignments? How much fun did you have with the missions in Dawntrail?

You chose the best afternoon anime on RTL2 and there is a clear winner

Jasmin Beverungen 21. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Place 3: Detective Conan

Result: 9% with 193 votes

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).

Even with all the spin-offs together, the anime only has 639 episodes, making it only half as long as the other two animes in the top 3. If you still want to save some episodes, we could recommend our filler list: Dragon Ball: All episodes and fillers in the list – These episodes you can skip

One of my monsters in Pokémon GO has been in the game longer than most trainers – What is your oldest Pokémon?

Paul Kutzner 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Many monsters in Pokémon GO accompany their trainers for years. MeinMMO author Paul also has Pokémon that have been with him for many years.

Pokémon GO is now several years old. The game was released in the USA, Australia, and New Zealand on July 6, 2016, and a week later, on July 13, 2016, in Germany.

Since day one, the game has been installed on my phone and, aside from a few smaller or larger breaks, I have been an enthusiastic trainer.

Over the years, some Pokémon have found their way to me, and many have also gone to the professor. However, there is one Pokémon that has been with me almost since day one – and it is not my starter.

Already by my side for over 8 years

Which Pokémon is it? The Pokémon that has been with me since July 16, 2016, is a Beedrill. Since it has been by my side for such a long time, it has also been able to undergo Mega Evolution.

Why is it called Beedrill (M)? The name comes from my habit of giving my Pokémon names that immediately show me what the Pokémon is used for. There are certain naming conventions for different battle leagues or for use in raids.

Pokémon for which I can trigger the Mega Evolution receive names that the Beedrill also has: (M).

And what about the starter? Unfortunately, my starter Pokémon, a Charmander, is no longer part of my Pokémon collection. In a weak moment of inattention, my starter Pokémon unfortunately went to the professor. To this day, I hope he takes good care of my Charmander.

What does such an old Pokémon bring me? Primarily, it is of course the nostalgia factor that makes this Pokémon special to me personally. After all, it has been by my side for more than 8 years.

This Beedrill still remembers the old footprint system in Pokémon GO, the old gyms, and many other things that no longer exist in Pokémon GO today.

By the way, old Pokémon can also still bring you an advantage. However, you have to say goodbye to them. Pokémon caught in 2018 or earlier can trigger a guaranteed lucky trade when you trade them with your friends and have not exceeded the maximum number of guaranteed lucky trades yet.

A German video shows us how frightening video games were viewed 42 years ago

Benedikt Schlotmann 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Today, video games can be found in almost every children’s room. However, 42 years ago, that was not the case. A video from Tagesschau from 1982 shows how suspicious people were back then about video games.

What kind of video is this? The German Tagesschau reported on July 14 or July 16, 1982, about video games that were spreading rapidly in the USA. Particularly one game seems to be exciting everyone there right now: Pac-Man. The yellow ball that eats small stones and must dodge ghosts at the same time. We have embedded the Tagesschau video for you:

Parents’ Fear That Children Might Become Addicted to Games

Especially the parents were not really enthusiastic about this new trend in 1982.

Because the parents feared that children would skip school because of such games and disturb adults. After all, according to the report, it was “a skill game on the one hand, but on the other hand also an incitement to destroy.”

The Tagesschau explains: Parents see a danger for their children in the game and in the arcades and hold protest events to address the new problem.

Here’s how it ended: The Boston magazine reported in a retrospective on October 30, 2020, that the Boston government under Kevin White promised a tough crackdown on arcades. This was meant to tame the hordes of video gamers who, in the words of the then Boston licensing officer Joanne Prevost, “terrorized” older citizens in laundromats and forced customers to “quick reprimands.”

The 80s Are Considered the “Golden Age of Arcade Games”

Why are the 80s so exciting? The 1980s to the early 90s are considered the “Golden Age of Arcade Games.” This is mainly due to the massive technical development of the gaming machines. Suddenly, high-quality graphics and sounds could be offered, and the arcade machines sprouted up like mushrooms.

In Germany, youth protection reacted to the developments: On February 25, 1985, a new law was enacted that prohibited electronic gaming devices from being displayed in public and made them accessible only to those aged 16 and older. This caused many machines to disappear from various shops.

With the rise of computers and gaming consoles, which finally allowed everyone to play from home, the era of arcade machines came to an end.

An editor from MeinMMO has been to Japan and checked out the arcade halls there. It still feels like gaming in the 80s: Visiting an arcade in Japan: Gaming like back then still today!

How was the ranking created? For the ranking, we compared all the female characters from the anime Naruto Shippuden. In doing so, we specifically assessed the fighting power and special abilities of each character. Naruto Classic and Boruto are not included in this ranking. Based on this, we present to you the 5 strongest women from Naruto Shippuden.

Place 5: Chiyo

Chiyo, a great Kunoichi from Sunagakure, is distinguished by her puppet mastery and is often underestimated. She can control up to ten puppets simultaneously, including her legendary puppets Father and Mother of Sasori. With her puppets, she once managed to conquer an entire castle on her own in the past.

Despite her age, Chiyo uses her extensive experience to compensate for her physical limitations and strategically act in battles.

Apart from her expertise in puppetry, Chiyo is also an excellent medic. She masters complex medical jutsu and is capable of treating even the most severe injuries. An outstanding example of her medical skills is the Reincarnation Jutsu, which enabled her to bring Gaara back to life – although it ultimately cost her own life.

Her skills and profound experience make her one of the most capable and respected shinobi.

Place 4: Sakura

Sakura Haruno possesses exceptional chakra control. This allows her to utilize techniques efficiently and significantly enhance her physical strength. By concentrating chakra, she can execute extremely powerful attacks.

Under Tsunade’s training, Sakura has developed immense physical strength, enabling her to inflict severe injuries on opponents and cause massive destruction. This strength is particularly evident in her Tai Jutsu, where she has learned to concentrate chakra in her strikes and release it explosively. She can also quickly see through opponents’ Gen Jutsu and dispel them.

Sakura learned advanced medical jutsus from Tsunade, including “Creation Rebirth,” which allows her to recover from injuries almost instantly. She also has extensive knowledge of healing herbs and poisons. Sakura can additionally use the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (English: Summoning Technique) to call upon snails that assist her in battle.

In addition, Sakura is characterized by her high intelligence and analytical skills. She can quickly see through enemy techniques, predict their movements, and develop effective strategies.

Mei Terumi, the fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure, is an impressive and powerful Kunoichi.

The Lava Element (Yōton) allows her to create liquid lava that has a high attack power and can penetrate even strong defenses. The Steam Element (Futton) enables her to produce a corrosive mist that can even melt the powerful Susano’o.

Additionally, Mei masters the elements of Earth (Doton), Water (Suiton), and Fire (Katon), which increases her versatility in battle. Her exceptional chakra control allows her to deploy these techniques precisely and effectively – making her one of the most dangerous opponents.

Once Human asks fans for positive reviews on Steam – Better delete the request than a bad patch goes live

Schuhmann 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

That was probably nothing: The developers of Once Human asked on reddit to please rate their game positively on Steam. However, they had to retract the request after the poor patch on July 18. The update brought two serious issues.

That was the plan:

As the U.S. site Kotaku reports, the developers of Once Human asked players on reddit to write positive reviews on Steam. Because there, the ratings were only “mixed” – even though player numbers are so high. Because Once Human is actually well-received, even by players who don’t pay.
Apparently, the Chinese publisher NetEase and Starry Studio wanted this request to help “Once” Human move to a “positive” or higher Steam rating. Then the review rating on Steam would turn green, which looks like a buying signal.
But the request for good reviews came at the wrong time.

On Discord, it was said that both problems had been identified: both that items are lost when placed in the vault and the difficulties in base building.

They are working “as quickly as possible on a solution” – lost items will be replaced. Players affected by the patch will be compensated.

What should happen next? The first major update of the game is supposed to introduce new modes for PvE and PvP, and a new mountain region in the north will be added to Once Human, along with monsters and challenges.

A new action role-playing game fails at launch on Steam – opponents of the “woke company” Sweet Baby Inc. rejoice

Schuhmann 21. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

On July 18, the new action RPG “Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn” was released for Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X. The initial player numbers on Steam are catastrophic. This elicits jubilation from some people online who were already gunning for the game. Because it is said that the despised “Woke Factory” Sweet Baby Inc. had a hand in it.

How is Flintlock doing? Not well at all:

The game launched on Steam almost without public notice. At its peak, it had 541 players.
The reviews are “mostly positive,” which is not bad – 74% of the reviews are positive. But the fact that there are only 198 reviews paints a sad picture.
Apparently, only a few want to take a look at the game for €36.

Sweet Baby Inc. is blamed for the flop

Who is pleased about this? The failure of Flintlock particularly delights some people online who have identified “Sweet Baby Inc.” as the source of all evil. This is a Canadian consulting firm that helps game developers pay attention to “DEI” in game development: Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.

For a number of people online, this is “Woke Madness.” Allegedly, Sweet Baby INC ruins games. How exactly they change games so drastically that they become worse can’t be explained. In an article, GameStar examined Sweet Baby Inc. more closely.

Anyway, on Twitter, Mark Kern, a developer who likes to take the lead in protests against the gaming industry, is celebrating: He has already explained how the “Race Swap” of the protagonist ruined the game and how unnecessarily money was thrown out to promote diversity.

Sweet Baby Inc. may have left the game, but “Flintlock” has never recovered, Kern knows (via twitter).

“Nobody wants to play ugly women”

“KotakuInAction” is the unofficial reddit of the reactionary GamerGate movement. Here, Flintlock’s problems are seen in the dreadful “Woke Agenda,” but articulated more clearly: No one wants to play an ugly woman with a flat butt, explains one user. They should have chosen a “hot black chick” like in Resident Evil 5 as the protagonist.

The game would propagate a Woke Agenda.

Then someone asks if “Go Woke, go Broke” is true, how can one explain that Baldur’s Gate 3, the wokest game of all time, is such a huge success, shifting the discussion a bit off track. Well, most would be fooling around with the conventionally attractive Shadowheart – that pretty much shows everything.

Flintlock probably simply lacked the money for a better game

Why did the game really flop? In the reviews on Steam, it is said:

The game gives the impression that the developers ran out of money – much seems unfinished and unimplemented.
Flintlock feels too sluggish, the animations are almost ridiculous.

On Metacritic, Flintlock receives only 71% on PS5 and PC – the Xbox version gets 73%:

Games.Ch judges: A solid action-adventure that offers nothing special.
The GamePro only gives 60% and judges that Flintlock cannot compete with other games in the genre regarding story and gameplay. It seemed promising in trailers, but the final result lacks budget.

Flintlock apparently struggles to find an audience because there are too many strong alternatives in the “action RPG” genre. Flintlock lacked any hype at release.

This is what lies behind it: The argument “Games fail when they are woke” is entirely undermined by Baldur’s Gate 3. Most games fail because they are developed without considering the market. Flintlock likely hardly registered on anyone’s radar:

Currently, Google interest in Germany is about 7 times lower than in The First Descendant, which was released on July 2.
Furthermore, interest in Flintlock is 10 times lower than interest in Once Human, the last major release on Steam.

There seem to be some parallels between Flintlock and Forspoken; that action RPG also flopped, and some blamed the unliked protagonist, who was perceived as sassy: Forspoken: Actress receives criticism from gamers, being called “cringe” – This is what she says about it.

The new MMO from the creators of Warframe struggles with the name ‘Soulframe’ because it sounds like ‘Dark Souls’.

Schuhmann 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The Canadian gaming company “Digital Extremes” has a successful SF MMO on the market with Warframe. With “Soulframe“, they are planning a fantasy MMO, but the name is causing them trouble. It allegedly evokes too many comparisons with “Dark Souls”, and they supposedly do not want these comparisons, says the creative director. “But why does it look so much like Dark Souls?”, critics ask.

This is the problem: The new Free2Play MMO from Digital Extremes is called “Soulframe” and that invites comparisons with “Dark Souls” from FromSoftware. The dark fantasy action RPG Dark Souls (2011) is such a milestone in gaming that it has established the genre of “Soulslike” – games that are similar to Dark Souls.

In an interview with Gamesradar, the creative director of Soulframe, Geoff Crooks, is asked why they included “Soul” in the title.

He says: “Because we are idiots. We agonized over it, you are right.”

But “Soul” had to be in the title somehow. Because the idea of the game is, Crooks explains:

The fortification of the soul of the world, finding the ancestors by collecting their souls in the game, interacting with other players and connecting with them, and the existence of remnants of their souls in the world.

Start video

Soulframe finally got a new trailer after half a year

Autoplay

Developers hope players see more of the “Frame” than the “Soul” in the title

Do they want the comparison with Dark Souls? No, they do not. Soulframe is not such a dark game, assures Creative Director Crooks.

At Digital Extremes, they probably hope that players see more of the “Frame” than the “Soul” in the title, as they want Soulframe to be strongly associated with the SF MMO Warframe:

I would say we lean heavily on the ‘sister’ aspect that it is a sister project to Warframe. I think that people who know Warframe have an expectation of what Soulframe could bring. There are many similarities with the free-to-play action RPG setting, but we want it to be a counterbalance to Warframe.

Compared to Warframe, Soulframe is supposed to be a bit less hardcore. You should fight more against one opponent than several at once. Soulframe is also not meant to punish players as harshly as Warframe does.

How is that being discussed? On reddit, people don’t quite believe Crooks. It is said that the first gameplay heavily leans towards the “Dark Souls” note. That certainly hasn’t helped avoid comparisons to “Dark Souls”.

On reddit, some are hoping that Soulframe will be a slower, more melee-focused game than Warframe.

Warframe is one of the most successful MMOs of the last 10 years and is considered one of the games with the best development after modest beginnings. Therefore, Soulframe is now also being followed and highly anticipated by genre fans: The chief shows 75 minutes of fresh gameplay from the new hope for fans of fantasy MMORPGs.

A game mixes the Fallout series with Anno 1800 – You should quickly try the free demo on Steam

Benedikt Schlotmann 21. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

With Endzone 2, you can currently test an exciting city-building game on Steam. Many elements strongly resemble Ubisoft’s Anno series.

With Endzone 2, developer Gentlymad Studios presents the sequel to Endzone – A World Apart. The predecessor received a “mostly positive” rating of 78% from over 7,000 reviews. So there is enough potential to make the sequel even better.

Thanks to the strategy festival “Tacticon” on Steam, you can now try a demo of Endzone 2. Some things strongly resemble the popular city-building series “Anno” by Ubisoft: The Anno series is getting a new installment in ancient times in 2025.

Endzone 2 relies on “islands” like the Anno series

What does this have to do with Anno? In the Anno series, since the first part Anno 1602, you have been settling various islands to build your empire. This island principle is now adopted by Endzone.

The map of Endzone 2 is divided into areas that you can gradually discover. If you want to utilize such an area, you must build a warehouse at the edge of the area. This strongly resembles Anno, where you need to build a trading post at the edge of the area. Each area offers you a limited number of resources. Sooner or later, like in Anno, you will need to expand if you want to use all the resources.

Later, you will need to establish trade routes between the zones to ensure your resources are well distributed. This also gives us strong Anno vibes.

With your ~~ship~~ truck, you can explore destroyed warehouses or buildings. In a sort of mini-game, you explore the building and unlock resources or items that you can use.
