The serpent demigod hibernates beneath the fire and lava, whispering out to those who'd listen, promising them eternal life. Lord Rykard was entranced with the notion of becoming everlasting and all-powerful not only to merely avoid death but to pave the way for a new world order, one without the weakness of The Greater W
Not much is known as to the motives of Tanith after you slay the serpent; however, it is believed that she is deeply grieving the loss of Rykard and, in a final show of devotion, spends her final days devouring the head of her husb
Most experienced players can make quick work of most bosses in the Dark Souls series ; with some pretty predictable moves that are often telegraphed well in advance, once-tough bosses are now pretty easily felled. FromSoftware seems to have taken notice of this, however, as the bosses in Elden Ring are often anything but predicta
Midway through the battle against him, he offers a display of his abilities, launching himself into the stratosphere and returning as a destructive comet. Of course, while Radahn seems sturdy enough to survive that, the same couldn't be said of his poor mo
The trials and tribulations you go through to help this NPC are rewarded by a very intriguing story that gives you a lot of insight, or at least implications regarding the scarlet rot, the race of centipedes that worship it, as well as Malenia , one of the games various demigods that have shaped much of the world's l
Ludwig, The Accursed in Bloodborne is one of the most horrifically designed bosses in any video game out there. He looks like a mesh of different creatures that were morphed together to create an abomination. Everything about this boss looks like the breakdown of someone's sanity. There's even a mouth growing out the side of the monster's neck that doesn't seem to serve much of a purp
It would be hyperbole, at best, to say that Miquella is a villain in. To achieve his goals, Miquella may resort to ruthless methods, but said methods are consistently less atrocious than the limb harvesting of Elden Ring collectibles Ring 's Godrick the Grafted , the blasphemy of Rykard, or the genocidal imperialism of Queen Marika. Every piece of game lore about Miquella suggests that he genuinely loves his sister Miquella, genuinely wants to free her from the Scarlet Rot, and genuinely wants to be a good lord to his follow
She announces her name each time the player steps into the arena, and, after dozens of attempts, most players are left feeling like Mike Ehrmantraut in the closing episodes of AMC's epic Breaking Bad series, as seen in this me
Abominations aren't very intelligent as they are a mixture of different dead things that will eat just about anything. This makes them the perfect conduit of evil as they serve their evil overlord, the Lich King, with no questions as
The relationship between General Radahn and his horse Leonard has to be one of the most-discussed aspects of the character. Before he was a depraved husk of a man withered by Malenia's curse of rot, he was a brave commander who took it upon himself to learn gravity sorceries so that he wouldn't burden his skinny st
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 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
