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


**Elden Ring ** features tons of references and nods to FromSoftware’s previous games. The infamous NPC Patches is notable, though many players are aware of his presence and know it as something of a recurring joke. However, several Easter eggs fuel the continuous speculation on a connection between the universes of Elden Ring , Bloodborne , and the Dark Souls series. There's no definitive proof that any of these share a continuity, but Elden Ring 's Easter eggs supply compelling implicati


Of all the possibilities discussed, Miquella is the most likely to be featured in Elden Ring Updates Ring’s upcoming DLC. He is the twin of Malenia, and according to her, he is the most fearsome of all the Empyreans. As the Scarlet Rot curses Malenia, Miquella is cursed with eternal youth, and to counteract the curses, he grows the Haligtree, which might be a parasite . He put himself in a cocoon embedded into the tree so he could grow and find a cure. However, Mohg, the Lord of Blood, prematurely removed Miquella from the tree to fulfill his plan to raise the Empyrean to godhood and become his consort. The intro sequence shows a still image of Mohg’s abduct


The logic of the Painted Worlds isn’t fully explained, so much of how they work is merely speculation. One theory is used to suggest how Elden Ring connects to Dark Souls and FromSoftware's other games. At the end of Ashes of Ariandel , the player finds someone called the Painter. She sits in front of a blank canvas awaiting the return of Gael, who will bring the paint she’ll use. After completing The Ringed City , the player acquires this paint, which is actually an item called Blood of the Dark Soul, the description of which says it is " used as pigment [...] to depict a painted world ." When the player gives this to the Painter, she says, " I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home. " The player never sees the completed painting, but it is theorized that it could be the world of Elden Ring or Bloodbor


Remembering to take breaks from Elden Ring , or any game for that matter, is very important. But the joke in this user's meme is a long-running bit among the Dark Souls franchise community where any four-legged creature is called a


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


Elden Ring , several months out from its release, is still one of 2022's biggest games. The world of the Tarnished brought in so many new and veteran gamers alike. Part of this was due to the world, and the influence of George R.R. Martin was clear in the setting's bleak nat


Vebb1nator seems to have found a very incompetent version of the NPC, or at least one cursed with the lack of peripheral vision to notice the dog charging straight for her. Could she have escaped it fast enough? Who knows. But for someone who allegedly has the ability to see the future, she definitely didn't see that giant attack dog com


The army of mimics mod was popularized through YouTube and specifically from a video called " Elden Ring Zerg Rush " which saw the player multiply and absolutely destroy bosses. What made it even funnier was that they were completely na


The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: " Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. " This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of f

This ending signals that Melina will return as a boss fight in Elden Ring’s DLC . The only issue with this may be the element of player choice. Not all players decide to go the route of the Frenzied Flame, and requiring this ending to access the DLC isn’t likely. The closest FromSoftware has come to a DLC that references the player’s choice is Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel . In this case, the only thing that changes is a line of dialogue spoken by Sister Friede if the player has chosen the Usurpation of Fire ending. Elden Ring’s choices feel more consequential than that, however. So it's improbable that Melina’s role in the DLC will be reduced to a few lines of dialo
