During their lengthy journey through the Lands Between, Elden Ring players will encounter a variety of nomadic merchants who sell certain goods. The first merchant that the Tarnished will likely meet is Kalé, a friendly salesman who resides in the Church of Elleh. Upon meeting him Merchant Kalé will sell useful items like armor, crafting cookbooks and notes that provide hints about certain areas or mechanics. The helpful figure will also provide basic information about his nomadic race, the Lands Between and how to initiate Blaidd's questline. Prior to the game's release many Elden Ring players encountered Merchant Kalé in the game's closed network test, with his manner of dress and role as a salesman motivating comparisons to Santa Cl

While Kalé's role in Elden Ring is minimal, a lengthy cut questline would have given the dedicated capitalist a much greater impact on the narrative. According to data miners, the storyline would have seen Kalé embark on a journey to locate the Great Caravan that his people once called home. The merchant would leave the Church of Elleh to travel all across the Lands Between, with his search eventually landing him in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell where the Three Fingers reside. While Melina typically advises the Tarnished protagonist to resist joining the Three Fingers and possessing the Frenzied Flame, Kalé's cut questline would have put an entirely new perspective on this scena

While Kalé himself is greatly developed through his cut questline, much is also revealed about his nomadic merchant clan. In Elden Ring Nightreign Ring proper little is revealed about the group except that it conforms to a nomadic culture and was relatively unaffected by the Shattering of the Elden Ring. Kalé's people are " spurned by the grace of gold ," and thus often take the role of merchants that sell valuable goods at a fair price. Other than Kalé, the traveling merchants in Elden Ring rarely share their names, though they do set themselves apart through accessories like bird feathers in their hats. They are also a peaceful people, which makes their fate even more tragic (though they will defend themselves with Frenzied Flame magic when threaten

When the Tarnished finds Ranni at Ranni’s Rise, the Tarnished says, " You must be Ranni the Witch, behind the Night of Black Knives. " As forward as that comment is, Ranni does not deny who she is or what she did. She admits to being the one who stole the Rune of Death and made the godslaying black knives. However, the cursemark Rogier wants is not there because it lies on Ranni’s body, and Elden Ring ’s Ranni doesn’t have a real body . Ranni refuses to tell the Tarnished where her body that bares that mark l

May 2022 already has some exciting titles confirmed. Evil Dead: The Game is releasing after being delayed from February, but Forspoken - a new open-world IP from Square Enix - is now launching in October instead of at the end of the month. The list of May 2022 video game releases inclu

Players of Elden Ring only catch a glimpse of Godwyn The Golden, the firstborn son of Godfrey and Marika, long after his murder during the Night of the Black Knives. Far below the surface of the Lands Between at the heart of the Deeproot Depths, the once-beautiful body of Godwyn has bloated and metastasized, sprouting a mermaid-style fish tail and tree roots adorned with pale eyes. Before becoming the Prince of Death, though, Godwyn the Golden was a fearsome but gallant Demigod who defeated ancient dragons such as Fortissax, won their friendship, and established a sanctioned Dragon Cult in Leyndell. Fia working for Elden Ring 's Prince of Death is something of an extension of this cult. A boss fight against Godwyn in his prime (unlocked through time travel or diving into an ancient creature's memories) would be an epic duel on the level of the Nameless King fight from Dark Souls III , pitting _Elden Ring _ players against a foe capable of wielding golden lightning and matching the raw strength of drag

2022 is already a big year for gaming, with titles like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Elden Ring releasing in the early months. Other big-name games, like God of War Ragnarok and Breath of the Wild 2 originally had 2022 release windows, promising even more highly anticipated releases. Here is every video game release date in 2022 so

The Marvel Comics character Wolverine may not be part of Elden Ring 's world, but his claws inspired dingdongdiddles to call the game's Claws "wolverine gloves." The comparison makes sense, though, since "the claws messed her up" and the Redditor was only "level 35-38i

There are three giant, inaccessible arenas players can travel to in Elden Ring 's open world - one in Limgrave, one in Caelid, and one in Leyndell, the Royal Capital. Each of these arenas bears a close resemblance to the Colosseum of Ancient Rome and are stylistically associated with gladiator-type enemies who wear serpentine adornments. Players can't access the interior of these arenas in the base Elden Ring game, but may be able to uses these arenas as PVP hubs when the next Elden Ring DLC comes out. A player versus player boss battle like the Old Monk fight from Demon's Souls would be particularly appropriate in such an arena setting, potentially invoking the bombastic spectacle of Roman gladiator matches, a sentiment already represented in Elden Ring 's historically inspired armor sets , or letting players fight each other on horseback in the style of knightly jou
