Shield Up 341: Gav's Going to Jail

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 67: Mohg, Lord of Blood

We're in the endgame now.

She's finally dead, and with Miquella nowhere to be found, we follow-up on an old lead.

Yes, it's time to go in search of the mysterious Lord of Blood, and uncover what he and his sanguine nobles have been up to in the shadows.

Enjoy the latest episode of RETRY!

The Malenia Post-Mortem | Roundtable Hold Ep.34

The undefeated swordswoman has finally met her match.

In this episode of Roundtable Hold, we unpack – maybe a more appropriate phrase is collectively work through – the pain of fighting Malenia for three episodes. We take a look at how Let Me Solo her did it. And there's even time to make sure we know the name of her special move... windfowl, right?

Enjoy this week's Roundtable Hold, and we'll see you next week for somewhere entirely new. Thankfully.

Right. We're off for...

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 66: Malenia Part III

Nothing changes unless something changes. Time for some more drastic changes, then.

It's week three of Malenia, and at this point, we've got to go have a word with Rennala...

Roundtable Hold Will Return Soon!

Hey everyone,

Just informing you that there will be no Roundtable Hold today. We appreciate this is short notice, but hard to really say that without spoiling the latest episode of RETRY.

But it will return when Malenia is no more... that will happen right? And when it does we'll be anatomising the fight and learning much more about the Rot Goddess herself.

Thanks for your support in this difficult time!

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 65: Malenia Part II

Right, this can't continue. Time to change things.

Yeah, that's right. Time to pay a visit to Okina...

Surely, that'll make this easy, right?

Shield Up 338: We Just Watched... Jurassic World Rebirth

I don't know if you know this but Gav and Krupa are actually pretty big fans of a certain far-fetched movie series about dinosaurs.

In this special episode, the lads talk about the new movie and give their own personal rankings of the Jurassic Park series.

What did you think of the new movie? Let us know: bit.ly/ShieldUp

We Hit Our Goal! Thank You!

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to say a massive 'thank you' for digging deep and helping us reach our lofty goal of £10,000.

In fact, you've taken us to the top of the leaderboard for the entire race –...

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 64: Malenia Part I

And so we reach Malenia, Blade of Miquella...

Apparently she's never known defeat. Is that about to change?

The fact this says 'Part I' should give you some clues that might not change anytime soon.

Enjoy! (We didn't.)

Ep. 33: Who Made the Albinaurics? | Roundtable Hold

Since we started our journey in the Lands Between, we've met quite a few Albinaurics of different shapes and sizes.

And now that we've reached their safe haven at the Haligtree, it seems right to review everything we've learned so far and fill in some of the gaps.

Enjoy the latest episode of Roundtable Hold!

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 62: The Brace of Elphael

I thought Gav said this would be easy.

Things are getting tougher as we work our way towards the roots, but at least we're experimenting with stacking buffs.

RKG & Friends Are Running the London 10K

This year we’ll be running the London 10K to raise money for one of our favourite charities, the wonderful Special Effect.

Not only will Rory, Krupa, and Gav be running, we’ll be joined by a bunch of RKG friends, from our magical freelancer Rich to Rory’s brother, Colin.

We’ve set an ambitious target this year of £10k for 10km – why not aim high for such a wonderful cause?

And as a little extra incentive, if we reach that target – Rory, Krupa, and Gav will run t...

Ep.32: Who Is Miquella? | Roundtable Hold

Since we've just reached Miquella's Haligtree, now seems like as good a time as any to recap what we know about Miquella, one of Elden Ring's most enigmatic and important characters.

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 60: The Hidden Path to the Haligtree

Commander Niall was easier than you expected, right?

With the other half of the Haligtree medallion finally in our grasp it's time to strike out for the Consecrated Snowfield and find safe passage to Miquella's Haligtree.

What will we find there? Hopefully, like the Misbegotten and the Albinaurics before us, a sanctuary awaits us...

Enjoy this week's episode of RETRY, patrons. Thank you for making it happen.

Morning, RKG patrons,

Right, enough messing about in catacombs and caves. It's time to go in search of the other half of the Haligtree medallion. We've got a lead, so we're venturing north to Castle Sol, where sight an eclipse inspires a dreadful awe.

(A chance encounter with a death rite bird almost derails this progress, but let's not focus on that.)

Roundtable Hold | Ep.31: Who Is the Gloam-Eyed Queen?

She is one the most important characters in the history of the Lands Between but there's so little about her within the in-game text. Why?

Why is the Gloam-Eyed Queen so shrouded in mystery? Why did Marika's reign hinge upon her defeat? And what the hell does 'gloam' mean anyway?

There's so much to explore on this topic. So let's get started...

📼 EARLY ACCESS | RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 58: Spiritcaller Cave

Morning, RKG patrons!

A couple of weeks ago we lost our minds in a catacomb.

Time do the same again but this time in a cave?

Yep, that's the episode as we find ourselves in the Spiritcaller Cave.
