Elden Ring Official Strategy Guide, Vol. 1: The Lands Between

by Future Press

This first volume of Future Press’ Elden Ring Books of Knowledge contains a complete record of The Lands Between. Overworld, dungeons and underworld, no matter where you go, every inch is carefully mapped and its secrets laid bare. All of the game’s areas and NPCs are covered and over 100 detailed area maps are included in a beautifully designed, premium hardcover volume.

Learning the Game
The book opens with in-depth explanations and data for all of the gameplay elements and mechanics featured in the game. Everything you need to know to expertly traverse and explore these lands can be found here.

The Lay of the Land
The World Guide chapter maps out the entire Lands Between, beautifully revealing the game’s true scale, one location at a time. The Dungeon Guide chapter places the focus on the game’s huge, labyrinthine dungeons, using ultra-detailed cartography to chart their every secret. With high level views of progression toward the game’s multiple endings and streamlined paths that highlight the places and details you’re most likely to miss, this will be the ultimate reference companion for exploring the world.

The Inhabitants Between
The huge NPC Guide chapter spotlights the rich supporting cast of NPCs that inhabit The Lands Between. All of their quests are clearly charted with every branch and possibility fully explained. Each NPC’s key dialog is also printed here, so you won’t need to worry about missing important clues.

Designed for Reference
The Books of Knowledge are designed first and foremost to chronicle the world of Elden Ring while providing stats and information straight from the game’s developers at FromSoftware. These books will provide insight and enlightenment even to those who know the game well. To reinforce this approach, Volume I includes a dedicated lore section that summarizes and helps to piece together the game’s enigmatic storyline.

Premium Production

This is an impressively comprehensive Elden Ring guide, and it’s only book 1 of 2!

There’s not much in the way of art or lore, but it’s a well designed product for collectors or those who want maps, quest sequences, etc. all in one place.

For a strategy guide, I guess I was hoping for more strategy? There's not much art or extra detail on lore either. Big book, some strategy, but I suppose this game has been out for several years, so a lot of the stuff in this book is already known to many of the fans who have been in the lands between for longer.

Comprehensive still, easy to follow. Not sure if it was worth the extra I paid from a fellow collector though as I missed the original sale.

As an old friend would say: it is what it is.

So happy I was able to get this. The scalpers now are reselling these guides for ridiculous prices. It was a 60 dollar strategy guide and I was planning on getting the rest of the guides, but now they're priced so high for resale, I can't even afford them. Like I said, very very good guide, but I am sad I won't be able to get the rest and read through them for quite a long time I feel like.
