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
Finger readers in Elden Ring have the gift of foresight, and Vebb1nator encountered one of them in Caelid. She begins to give the player character a reading, but before she can even say her second sentence, a Giant Dog rushes out of the corner of the screen and attacks
Elden Ring’s ties to Bloodborne 's Eileen the Crow run deeper than aesthetic, however. Eileen is known as a Hunter of Hunters, eliminating those who have gone mad and blood drunk from Beast Hunting. Her story has fascinating parallels to a character in Elden Ring named Yura, the Bloody Finger Hunter. He hunts those who have been enthralled by Mohg, The Lord of Blood, and his blood magic. The Bloody Fingers invade the worlds of other Tarnished to defeat them. During his quest line, the Tarnished helps Yura defeat several members of the Bloody Fingers, including the assassin Ravenmo
Several items in Elden Ring are Easter eggs that refer to FromSoftware’s previous titles. The Sun Realm Shield has intriguing and mysterious ties to an important city in Dark Souls lore, but the drop rate for this shield is incredibly low, so it’s easy for most players to miss. An armor piece called Raptor’s Black Feathers resembles a notable Bloodborne character whose quest line parallels that of a summonable Elden Ring NPC . Scavenger hunt-style puzzles across The Lands Between involve paintings, which also bring to mind one of the most intriguing lore aspects of the Dark Souls franch
Elden Ring features perhaps the most complex questlines yet crafted, but, due to the game's open-ended nature, most of them are easy to miss. Offering unique missions, awesome items, and hidden bosses, there are some fan-favorite Elden Ring characters for whom first-time players should look
Despite not being seen as a competition-focused game, **Elden Ring ** has seen some major changes to its meta from nerfs. Whether players focus on the Tarnished's journey in PvE or prefer to take the path of the Bloody Fingers and fight others in PvP, they have to watch out for what Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have planned up their sleeves. The updates they have brought to the video game franchise evolution have already dramatically influenced how it is pla
While one would hope that these players still fulfilled their daily tasks and jobs on time, it's very likely that Elden Ring took a priority for some, depicted comedically in the meme. The amount of time players spent on Elden Ring likely led to players finding the multitude of hidden details that the game has to of
Roderika can be encountered very early on in Elden Ring , as she's found hiding out in an abandoned shack near the entrance to Stormveil Castle. While she implies that she once commanded some sort of army, her forces have since been grafted by Godrick the Grafted, leaving her totally bereft. Speaking with her will grant the player the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, easily one of the best spirit ashes in the game. Plus, should the player find the Chrysalids' Memento in Stormveil Castle and deliver it to her, she will appear in the Roundtable Hold. At that point, selecting certain dialogue options when meeting with Roderika and Smithing Master Hewg results in her unlocking a latent spirit tuning ability. At that point, she'll be able to upgrade the player's spirit as
A young woman afflicted by Scarlet Rot, Millicent can first be encountered in the Church of the Plague in Caelid. After reviving her by finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle and speaking with Gowry, she will embark on a journey that requires the use of Valkyrie's Prosthesis, an item that can be found in the Shaded Cas
Though it is never actually encountered in-game, The Greater Will is perhaps the most important character in Elden Ring . Of course, calling it a "character" is a bit of a stretch, as The Greater Will is more accurately described as a force of nature. An outer god at the center of all of the game's events, it's hard to tell what The Greater Will's goals may be, and it's hinted several times throughout Elden Ring that it may not be as benevolent as it seems. From Software are known for including Lovecraftian concepts in their games, and The Greater Will is a perfect example of cosmicism adding an incredible amount of depth to a game's l
Sorcerer Rogier is a helpful ally in the fight against Margit, but are the players a helpful ally to him? Personifying an NPC can be hilarious, and thinking about the struggle everyone is putting Rogier through makes it easy to sympathize with the poor
