Let’s end on the most impressive Elden Ring fan-led creation: an entire video game. The community was working on their own version of Elden RingĪ screenshot from Elden Ring FakeLore Edition’s map editor. The Redditor suggests that players could only fight certain bosses “if you performed the ceremony that eclipsed the moon.” 1. As Insatic notes, this mechanic - while interesting - is very different from what fans have grown used to in Dark Souls.īut with Elden Ring being an open-world game, it would make more sense to be able to place bonfires at will, which would change the status of the world including the enemy types. Depending on the time of day, different enemies or bosses would appear. In essence, Dark Souls 3 was apparently originally going to allow the player to place their own bonfires anywhere, which would allow you to alter the time of day. Redditor Insatic thinks Elden Ring will incorporate some of Dark Souls 3’s cut content, including the ability to perform “ceremonies” on enemies to create different bonfires (or save points). Is Elden Ring based on cut content from Dark Souls 3?ĭark Souls 3 had a lot of cut content that never made it into the final version of the game. And this could explain why the character in the trailer is attaching a new arm - in order to rule as a “perfect” king. In the trailer, a character holding the severed arms is wearing gold robes, which, as JackJR91explains, is “very significant in Irish folklore, and would possibly signify royalty.” Tying it back to Nuada, the Redditor notes that in mythology, these characters must have “perfect” bodies in order to reign as kings. This character “loses his arm in battle,” JackJR91 says. JackJR91 brought up the character from the trailer who is attaching an arm and drew a parallel to Nuada from Irish mythology. This one comes from Redditor JackJR91, and it involves a connection to Celtic folklore. The ring isn’t a physical object at allĪ screenshot from the Elden Ring trailer. The main point is that the titular Elden Ring could be what holds the world together, and the fact that it’s been shattered might be the driving force of the game. This is in line with the Souls games, as they often have multiple endings.
At the end of the game, you’d be tasked with either restoring the Ring for the greater good or taking it for yourself - with a secret third option.
Another Redditor in the same thread above mentions visiting different kingdoms to find these ring fragments. The Redditor suggests that players could have to “collect pieces of the Elden Ring for each main boss” in the game, comparing it to the way you gather ashes in Dark Souls 3. As many fans have noted, including Redditor varzat, the Ring has been shattered, and it’s possible you’ll be responsible for putting it back together in the game. Kicking things off is a theory about the Elden Ring itself. These five of the most fascinating Elden Ring fan theories from the game’s subreddit community.īut first: What are your favorite games and platforms of 2021, and what future releases are you most excited about? Take our poll! 5. Since Elden Ring is shrouded in mystery, the community has taken it upon themselves to come up with theories - even going so far as to start development on an Elden Ring game of their own.
The Dark Soulsgames are known for being cryptic, so fans often have to fill in the blanks with their own theories to make sense of the story. That’s it.īut FromSoftware fans are some of the most dedicated bunch, many of them delving deep into the lore of the developer’s games.
All we’ve gotten so far is a two-minute trailer that showed off some characters while setting the tone, and we know it’s a collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Since developer FromSoftware revealed it at E3 2019, no new information has been shared with the public. We’re all starving for more information about Elden Ring, a game that literally won an award at the 2020 Game Awards for all the hype.
