Understanding the Erdtree requires knowledge of the Lands Between before the Outer Gods, particularly the Greater Will, take an interest in it. Outer Gods that are seeking power would need to have a reason to choose the Lands Between as the place they seek to spread their influence. The Greater Will wouldn’t put in the effort and send the Elden Ring to a land if it doesn’t gain anything from controlling that land. What the Greater Will is likely after goes back to a point on the timeline before Elden Ring begins . The first hint at what the Greater Will wants is in the Aspects of the Crucible description, which says, ” This is a manifestation of the Erdtree’s primal vital energies – an aspect of the primordial crucible, where all life was once blended together.” Any object or being capable of holding all life blended together would certainly be a target for the power-hungry Outer G
This mod affects the Tree Sentinel, an optional boss early in the game. Usually, this fearsome knight has a mighty horse he rides on, but this mod makes it Thomas instead. It’s not as extensive as other Thomas mods, but it’s still fu
However, the death of Godwyn the Golden poses a potential challenge to this theory. On the Night of the Black Knives, Ranni’s physical form died while Godwyn’s soul form perished. Godwyn was supposedly Marika’s favorite child, and, from some perspectives, his death is one of the reasons she tried to destroy the Elden Ring, which led to a Elden Ring ‘s brutal war known as The Shattering . In other words, it’s unclear why Marika would help or recruit Ranni if it would mean the death of her favorite child. One possible explanation is that Ranni accepted Marika’s help with the intention of betraying her, but there is no solid evide
One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of Elden Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring ‘s Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same unive
The Sword of Night and Flame once stood next to the Moonveil as the best weapon in the game. It’s dual ability in the form of the Night-and-Flame Stance allowed the Tarnished to use either a powerful Faith-based or Intelligence-based spell. While both moves were strong, the Intelligence Night spell was especially noteworthy in PvE because of its resemblance to Comet Azure. Combined with Royal Knight’s Resolve, the Sword of Night and Flame allowed players to easily kill bosses from a distance as shown by Schlechtelaunetyp above, and if an opponent closed in at all, they could then use the Flame ability to wipe out any remaining hea
Queen Marika, the ruler of The Lands Between in **Elden Ring ** , has ties to people and places that may point to her actually being a Mimic from the Eternal Cities. This Elden Ring theory has evolved in the months since the game launched. It may sound outlandish at first but makes a lot of sense when considering the game’s penchant for hidden plots and alternate identities. The theory also has significant in-game evidence to back it
The player’s legend would be spread online and become a meme. It grew to be so big that YouTuber “Garden Of Eyes” turned Let Me Solo Her into a summon . It feels awesome to have this powerful character besides the player, especially with their dress. Unfortunately, it is currently only available through the YouTuber’s Patr
The Nox are the inhabitants of the twin Eternal Cities, Nokron and Nokstella. There was a third, unnamed Eternal City that was destroyed by Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, as mentioned in a boss’ remembrance, discussed by Reddit user Canor_jax . The armor set of the Nox reveals that they long ago angered the Greater Will and were banished underground. There they live under a false night sky in eternal anticipation of their Lord of Night and the Age of Stars, Elden Ring crafting guide Ring ‘s most popular endi
For whatever reason, the early aughts animated film Shrek has become a big meme, and putting the green ogre in strange new situations is a running joke across the internet these days. Elden Ring wasn’t immune to this phenomenon and this mod puts the ogre over the enemy Fire Prel
Elden Ring ‘s 1.03 patch thought bosses should have more of a chance, though, and drastically reduced the effectiveness of Hoarfrost Stomp. The patch notes share that the move’s casting time and FP cost were increase while its area of effect was decreased. This rendered its staggering effect useless, as bosses and players alike could close in on a Hoarfrost Stomp user and attack in between the usages of the no-longer-spammable Ash of
