There are several quest lines cut from the final release of Elden Ring builds Ring despite being almost entirely complete. Notable YouTube modders and data-miners like Lance McDonald , Zullie the Witch , and Garden of Eyes have made great strides uncovering and even restoring this cut content, shining light on ideas that FromSoftware either discarded or decided to revisit in future

Within Elden Ring 's game files rests an impressive amount of cut content - assets, descriptions, and dialogue for outfits, weapons, game mechanics, and even quest-lines. Some of these assets may, like the once-cut content above, be revisited in future FromSoftware games . Alternately, a good chunk of these assets may be patched back into Elden Ring with future updates or DLCs, granting players access to new areas, new challenges, and even new endi

This holy sword was forged from the fang of Naga and is the bane of dragons. It's enriched in plenty of history beginning in the hands of Marth's ancestor, Anri, later falling to Marth, and much later to Chrom and Luc

There's not much that's been uncovered about these emaciated spectral creatures, but they and their followers suggest that they were nature-focused people driven from the aboveground and forced to reside below. These spirits give off an air of tired majesty, as they've been forced to defend their land with what little strength they had left. The Ancestor Spirits are certainly two of the bosses that paint the Tarnished protagonist in a cruel li

This icy sword takes inspiration from several blades from fiction like King Arthur's legendary Excalibur and Elric of Melniboné's Stormbringer, a black blade that consumes the souls of all it slays. These two blades alone are some of the most iconic in fiction, so to create Frostmourne from both of them was certain to make quite the epic wea

The Cipher Pata is the only fist weapon that changes your melee attacks from physical to purely holy damage. Faith is required to wield this weapon, and it is the only skill to scale the weapon's damage any further. It is unique and the perfect fist/faith-build wea

The general FromSoftware archetype of "giant wolf enemy with a sword in jaw" originated from the first Dark Souls , where players could meet, rescue, and eventually fight Great Wolf Sif, a mythical wolf who wields the great sword of his long-lost companion, Artorias. The long, shaggy hair of the Red Wolf enemy seems to have been inspired by the mutated Beast enemies of Bloodborne , particularly the Great One Beast boss cut out of the gothic horror game’s final release. Finally, Dark Souls 3 , the final game in the Berserk -inspired Dark Souls series , has a game asset called the Old Wolf of Farron - initially conceived of as a Sif-style wolf enemy, later used as a static shrine for the Watchdogs of Farron player covenant. The size of this giant wolf asset, plus the curved great sword weapon associated with it, seems to have been the strongest influence on the final design of Elden Ring’ s Red Wolf en

Fans of the game often talk specifically about its balance as one of its strong points. There are no difficulty options, but the game doesn't punish the player for dying, and they still gain experience even for failing a boss fight. That means the player gets steadily more powerful even when stuck on a hard part, making it a lot more forgiv

It's very easy to get all the Smithing Stones in Elden Ring mixed up. There are ordinary Smithing Stones, Somber Smithing Stones, Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones, and Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones. If you're not paying attention, these can get a bit confus

As a vampire-like Revenant, the player gets to feel powerful throughout the game, but it's the co-op system that makes it that much easier. Compared to other Soulslike games, the ability to change builds while on the move without any consequences is a massive boon for less expert players as w

As FromSoftware’s newest dark fantasy RPG, and as the current culmination of the Soulslike sub-genre created by the studio to date, **Elden Ring ** contains several different examples of cut content. Some pieces of cut content in Elden Ring ’s game files are minor assets such as clothing, consumable items, and non-player characters of varying friendliness. There are also a surprising number of quest-lines cut from Elden Ring before its main release. Finally, there are extant enemies and armor sets in Elden Ring that are fully-realized versions of cut content from older games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls

Remant: From the Ashes distinguishes itself from most other Soulslike games due to its third-person shooter gameplay, with less emphasis on melee combat, and its futuristic post-apocalypse setting. In the game, the player is an isolated survivor who's faced with difficult enemies and bosses that appear in the procedurally generated wo

As it turns out, the Elder Dragon Greyoll is the mother of all dragons, which were dominant throughout The Lands Between in the prehistory before the Golden Order. The poor dragon has been ravaged by Malenia's Scarlet Rot along with her smaller draconic children surrounding her, and she can't even afford to defend hers
