From these Talisman descriptions and the prior descriptions of the Flowing Curved Sword and Blue Cloth set, players can infer the following story - an account of the Blind Swordsman's life and deeds that is speculative, yet plausible in the context of Elden Ring 's vast, often hidden lo

One of the most enduring mysteries in the first Dark Souls game was the identity of Gwyn's First-Born, a god who was exiled by his own father and erased from the annals of history, the only evidence of his existence being the shattered statues found throughout the game world. In the Archdragon Peak area, __ players solve this mystery when they encounter Dark Souls 3 's Nameless King boss , an ancient god of war who once slew dragons for the glory of his father, then switched side to ally with the ancient dragons he once hunted. After defeating the Nameless King, player can acquire his signature Dragonslayer Swordspear weapon, which could call down a bolt of golden lightning from the heavens to smite f

When you first reach the highly-imposing castle etched into the side of Mt. Gelmir, the landscape is filled with both elegance and despair as the once might of Volcano Manor is mirrored in both its towering visage and scarred with flame and destruction etched along its edges. And deep within the depths beyond lava and fire resides the source of pure evil -- Lord of Volcano Manor, son of the Champion of the Erdtree Radagon and Queen Rennala of the Academy of Raya Luc

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

Praetor Rykard would end up being the fruit that fell too far from the Erdtree, using his sister Ranni's plan to steal a fragment of the Rune of Death from The Vessel of The Elden Ring, Maliketh, to embark on his own journey, free from the embarrassment of his own line

Whether this wall was just a bug or a joke by Miyazaki, it's interesting to see how it had to be destroyed manually. There weren't too big of secrets behind them; the only main interesting aspect was the nearly unbeatable Snake Snails in the paths behind the wall that would follow you into non-hostile ar

In the Leyndell Royal Capital area, Elden Ring players can acquire the Thunderbolt Ash of War item; when equipped to a weapon, this Ash of War (and the Honed Bolt Incantation spell) lets players summon a golden lightning bolt nearly identical to that of the Dragonslayer Swordspear from Dark Souls 3 . This special attack, along with other golden lightning attacks in Elden Ring , seems to emulate the abilities of the **Elden Ring ** demigod Godwyn the Golden , the firstborn of Queen Marika. Like the Nameless King, Godwyn fought the ancient dragons who attacked the Royal Capital, but then tried to befriend them instead. Unlike the Nameless King, Godwyn was able to forge a lasting peace between his Golden Order and the Ancient Dragons, even founding a benevolent cult of dragon worshipers among his own peo

The Immortal Great Serpent convinced Lord Rykard that to achieve immortality and power beyond anything he's ever imagined, he would need to sacrifice his physical form by being devoured by the giant sn

Hidden inside the code of Elden Ring, there is a string of text within the Divine Tower of Limegrave map that hints there was a boss fight intended to be at the top of the Divine Tower. More specifically, it suggests that this boss would've been a Crucible Knight; however, since the name ID was set to 0, we're unable to know the boss' n

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 title also harbors a tight-knit community with a penchant for making jokes about anything and everything in The Lands Between, and these are some of the best memes concerning Elden Ring Rune farming Ring 's many bos

This underrated Elden Ring weapon seems to be a direct shout-out to Pinwheel, an eerie (but easy to defeat) boss found in the skeleton-infested Catacombs area of Dark Souls . Like the Family Heads flail, Pinwheel has three masked heads modeled after a family unit and fights by summoning projectiles of f

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
