However, of course, these simply could've been assets to make the game appear more full and less empty, or even possibly act as landmarks. But, with them not making the final cut of the game, it seems we'll never know what it could've all me

Being reminiscent of the Black Knights from Dark Souls and The Pursuer from Dark Souls II , the Night's Calvary was supposed to serve as a "wandering enemy" of sorts. But, later on, they were reduced to being an enemy that you could encounter only in specific areas. And, while knowing where they are, it would have been interesting to see them randomly gallivanting about and catching us by surpr

When you, the Tarnished, enter the narrative, the now head of Volcano Manor, Tanith, has commenced systematically disposing of all Tarnished in The Lands Between, often feeding those deemed worthy enough to the now serpent demigod Lord Rykard of Blasphemy. She contracts you to finish off the last of your kind in order to ensure her husband will be accomplis

Fixed a bug that prevented users from obtaining items such as Great Runes, Crystal Tears, Cracked Pots, and Ritual Pots when the number of items in the inventory and the storage had reached the maximum li

Besides hinting a potential Miquella-themed DLC for Elden Ring , this revelation complicates the more-or-less straightforward picture of Miquella's goals in the main game of Elden Ring (which may be why this quest-line was cut). Does Miquella, in his guise of St. Trina, gather dreams in order to help his subjects and heal his sister Malenia? Or is the world gestating within his heart a more selfish attempt to escape his old reality and create a new one where his dreams actually come t

Rykard's obsession finally paid off as the whispers he had begun to hear grew louder in his head, their words comforting and alluring, promising great fortunes for him. Those whispers belonged to an ancient and malevolent demigod, The Immortal Great Serpent. Rykard turned the once mighty castle of Volcano Manor into a meat factory serving the bodies of the Lands Between bravest and boldest to the true Lord of Mt. Gelmir, the voracious serp

The mist being dead souls explains a lot about this Elden Ring mystery . One of the biggest things it helps clarify is what the Lands Between is. Both in the Age of the Duskborn ending and in the prologue of the game, the narrator repeats the line " In our home. Across the Fog. The Lands Between ." This fog is literal, as the distant ocean is obscured in mist all around the Lands Between. Should the mist be souls, it would explain that the Lands Between is some sort of Edenic promised land related to the afterlife. The souls of the Tarnished who were banished were forced to leave, and now that they are no longer touched by Grace, their souls cannot make it back to Elden Ring Patch Notes Ring 's mysterious and coveted Erdtree . They instead seem to only come close to it, obscuring the world of gods and the afterlife from the liv

The four main Sleep-inducing tools of the game - the Sleep Arrows, the Sleep Pots, the Soporific Grease, the Elden Ring Sword of Saint Trina and St. Trina's Torch - are all associated with the mysterious St. Trina, described in item text as being either a young girl or boy and most decidedly not an adult. Many FromSoftware fans had guessed that Miquella and St. Trina were the same person before said guess was confirmed by the discovery of a cut quest-line revolving around the collecting of dreams from sleeping enemies and an NPC named Rico. Lying dormant in Elden Ring 's files is cut dialogue where the NPC Rico realizes St. Trina and Miquella are one and the same, and moreover, that Miquella is cultivating a dream world in his he

Rykard's thirst for power left the once devoted and charismatic leader a visibly deteriorating shadow of his former, charming self. During The Shattering, the bloodiest of battles were fought on the doorstep of Volcano Manor. When The Capitol fully grasped the true nature of Rykard's intent, the legions of undead knights and nightmare creatures devised through the use of the dark magic within Mt. Gelmir, it was too late. The Capitol's efforts were no match for the might of the Lord of Volcano Manor's undead arm

Rykard's true fall from grace, outside his growing disdain for the ideals imposed on him by The Greater Will, started when he chose Mt. Gelmir as the location to begin his new era in the Lands Between. Blessed with the gift of sorcery from his mother, Rennala, Rykard discovered ancient hexes and powerful dark magic within the depths of the mountain. Thus, decided to construct his entire kingdom from the base of Mt. Gel
