🕹️ Detailed guide: Elden Ring's hidden Age of Stars ending

Unlocking the secret Age of Stars ending, Ranni's most concealed finale, requires a complex quest. Follow these steps:

✅ Requirements: Defeat Margit, Godrick, and Rennala. Find the Miniature Ranni in the Ainsel River area.

📜 Step 1: After defeating Radahn, travel to the crater in Limgrave and enter Nokron, Eternal City. Find the Fingerslayer Blade.

📜 Step 2: Return to Ranni's tower and give her the Fingerslayer Blade. Speak with the characters in the chamber, including Iji and Blaidd.

📜 Step 3: Go to Renna's Rise and use the portal to Ainsel River Main. Continue toward Nokstella and find the Miniature Ranni.

📜 Step 4: Defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, enter the Moonlight Altar area, and use the Dark Moon Ring.

✨ Ending: After defeating the Elden Beast, look for the blue summon sign on the floor instead of using the standard interaction. Summon Ranni to view the Age of Stars cutscene.

Tip: Avoid choices that close Ranni's quest path, and keep a backup save before major decisions.

🥚 Easter Egg of the Week — GTA: San Andreas and the Bigfoot legend

Hidden Bigfoot Easter egg in the Back O' Beyond forest

For years, players believed Bigfoot was hidden somewhere in GTA: San Andreas. The persistent legend points to the Back O' Beyond forest during stormy nights between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Players claimed that a thermal camera could reveal a large figure moving among the trees. Other stories described a growl near an isolated cabin. Although the original rumors became part of gaming folklore rather than a confirmed base-game mechanic, they inspired countless investigations, screenshots, mods, and community discussions. Explore the area in single-player mode and treat the search as a celebration of one of gaming's most enduring mysteries.

Bonus: Later editions and related content have continued to reference the legend through hunters and unusual wilderness encounters.

⏱️ Speedruns — records, glitches, and shortcuts

🎮 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Any%) — 6:59
The route uses a Wrong Warp from the Deku Tree to Ganon's chamber. Precise save positioning and advanced movement make the technique exceptionally demanding.

🎮 Half-Life (Any%) — 20:41
The route relies on accelerated movement, repeated jumps, and carefully aligned transitions that bypass much of the normal level path. Stable frame timing is essential.

🎮 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice — Shura Ending Any% — 1:14:32
The run uses Ogre Skip, precise fall positioning, and a carefully planned route with small save optimizations to reduce time between major encounters.
