In reality, Boc is secretly hoping to receive affirmation from the player. Offering him the Golden Needle, a piece of demigod armor to alter, and using the “you’re beautiful” Prattling Pete in front of him affords him the praise he’s so long desired. While he’s not among the most useful characters in Elden Ring , he’s one of a very small number of Elden Ring NPCs who aren’t predestined for a terrible f
Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon is one of Elden Ring’s main bosses that players can encounter early in the game. She can be skipped since only two Great Runes are needed to reach the Altus Plateau. However, players who want or need to respec stats in Elden Ring may prioritize defeating Rennala. Assuming a player reaches Rennala at the appropriate level, she is not overly difficult to fight; she is weak to bleed and physical damage, which players can use to their advant
The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: ” Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. ” This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of f
Understanding the Erdtree requires knowledge of the Lands Between before the Outer Gods, particularly the Greater Will, take an interest in it. Outer Gods that are seeking power would need to have a reason to choose the Lands Between as the place they seek to spread their influence. The Greater Will wouldn’t put in the effort and send the Elden Ring to a land if it doesn’t gain anything from controlling that land. What the Greater Will is likely after goes back to a point on the timeline before Elden Ring begins . The first hint at what the Greater Will wants is in the Aspects of the Crucible description, which says, ” This is a manifestation of the Erdtree’s primal vital energies – an aspect of the primordial crucible, where all life was once blended together.” Any object or being capable of holding all life blended together would certainly be a target for the power-hungry Outer G
The logic of the Painted Worlds isn’t fully explained, so much of how they work is merely speculation. One theory is used to suggest how Elden Ring connects to Dark Souls and FromSoftware’s other games. At the end of Ashes of Ariandel , the player finds someone called the Painter. She sits in front of a blank canvas awaiting the return of Gael, who will bring the paint she’ll use. After completing The Ringed City , the player acquires this paint, which is actually an item called Blood of the Dark Soul, the description of which says it is ” used as pigment […] to depict a painted world .” When the player gives this to the Painter, she says, ” I will assuredly finish the painting. Shadow Of The Erdtree a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home. ” The player never sees the completed painting, but it is theorized that it could be the world of Elden Ring or Bloodbor
The challenging bosses in Elden Ring will require players to study their move sets or summon help. However, there is a difference between a difficult boss and an annoying boss. An annoying boss may have ridiculous attacks, or they may not be alone during the fight. No matter their character level or skill, some players will struggle with these bos
Painted Worlds appear in the first Dark Souls – the Painted World of Ariamis – and during Dark Souls 3 ’s expansion, Ashes of Ariandel – the Painted World of Ariandel. In both cases, these worlds are accessed when the player interacts with a painting. What follows is a short cutscene of the player character being pulled inside the painting when their hand touches the canvas. The player is then transported to a world entirely separate from the rest of the g
While it might seem to be parasitic, the relationship between Miquella and his Haligtree is actually more symbiotic. In Elden Ring , Miquella’s cocoon is the only form in which he’s seen. Mohg, as someone obsessed with Miquella, cuts him out of the Haligtree and takes him away, and due to this, both the Haligtree and Miquella suffer, displaying their symbiotic relationship. The Haligtree is not a parasite, and it’s unfortunate that its potential is never realized due to Mohg’s actions. Since Miquella’s status is unknown, if he’s alive, it’s possible that he might try to salvage the Haligtree, or he might start over if it can’t be sa
Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne gam
