Her significance doesn't stop there, though her nature is mysterious and so is the reason she offers you an accord to begin with. Melina wishes to help guide you, aiding you and leading you along the path to Erdtree, but as you go on, you might wonder what exactly is in it for her or who she really is. Many theorize a connection between her and the other most iconic NPC, Ranni, though most of it is speculation driven by an obvious key physical feature and copious amounts of l
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
Dung Eater is disgusting from his name to the entirety of his being as he serves as one of the most malevolent evils in the Elden Ring lore. He has no real purpose other than to cause havoc around the world. How he does this is by murdering innocent people and then defiling t
Sellen is a truly intriguing character whose story takes a number of twists and turns from beginning to end. As is the case with most who meddle with sorcery, they tend to be involved in a number of morally gray happenings. Just as you will likely stumble upon her by accident, you will also stumble upon a number of other things related to her that will leave you with more questions than you will ever have answers
There aren't a lot of non-damage dealing Glintstone Sorcery spells in Elden Ring , but they do exist, and their effects illustrate the potential of Elden Ring 's Glintstone magic and Staffs to have more non-offensive util
In the Network Test files, there is an unused animation where the bats (also known as the Chanting Winged Dame) in the game would stand up and sing a seemingly tragic lament in a nearly dead language called Ainu. However, the bats' songs would later be changed to be sung in Latin in the final release of elden ring news Ring --- the Ainu song seemingly as only a placehol
Abominations belong to the undead faction of the Warcraft series and are a mix of different dead creatures that have been given life. Each of the abominations is built like a Frankenstein monster that was made by Frankenstein's lazy intern on a whim. They are messy to look at and have gaping holes in the middle of their stomachs that they'll usually bleed out
Additionally, certain schools of purely offensive Glintstone Sorcery have non-combat applications that could be fleshed out with future expansions to Elden Ring. For instance, the school of Gravity Magic, strongly associated with the Starscourge Radahn boss fight, has several spells and Ashes of War that can repel and pull in enemies. Future non-damaging Gravity Sorceries could let a player temporarily lower the weight of their equipment (similar to how Elden Ring 's giant, misunderstood General Radahn uses gravity magic to ride his normal-sized horse, Leonard) or even raise the weight of an enemy's equipment to slow their movement and cause them to "fat roll." Finally, the extremely sparse school of Aberrant Sorcery, featuring only two spells themed around conjuring vines of coagulated blood, could be expanded in **Elden Ring ** DLC to include spells designed to defend or support player characters - for instance, an Aberrant Sorcery that sacrifices health to produce a damage-reducing aura or eliminate every status effect but Hemorrh
The humble NPC Thops, a self-described "Bluntstone" sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia of the Lakes, may actually be the Glintstone Sorcerer closest in spirit to the non-militant astrologers or yore. He can sell players the Starlight spell, which conjures up a long-lasting ball of blue light, and at the end of his questline creates the Thop's Barrier spell, a temporary shield capable of deflecting attacks from Elden Ring 's final b
The Spider Splicers in the BioShock series are some of the scariest enemies in the series as they can climb on walls and attack the player from all sorts of angles making them unpredictable to go up against. In BioShock 2 this enemy gets a lot deadlier as the Spider Splicer gets more health and packs a bigger pu
If you played any Souls game before Elden Ring, you'll be familiar with the save points being sacred bonfires; and, when Elden Ring was released, these beloved bonfires turned into glowing grace points. But, interestingly, these graces weren't always th
When Elden Ring was first announced at E3 2019, FromSoftware gave a cryptic reveal of what would soon become one of their most extraordinary creative and newly popular games. With, at the least, nearly four years of development, there was an incredible amount of love and time put into the making of what has become many Souls fans' favorite g
