Anor Londo's name is likely an adoption of a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in Lord of the Rings , and can roughly be translated as " Land of the Sun ." If Elden Ring and Dark Souls were connected, the Sun Realm Shield could be an artifact from when Anor Londo basked in the sunlight. Though this is likely just an obscure Easter egg for fans, it does present the interesting idea that the events of the Dark Souls series could have happened long ago in Elden Ring ’s timel

In the Mountaintop of the Giants area of Elden Ring , players can encounter the being known as Shabriri , an undying avatar of the Three Finger's Frenzied Flame who has possessed the corpse of another NPC called Yura. Shabriri, soft-spoken, eloquent, and utterly unhinged, urges the player to avert Melina's act of self-sacrifice by imbuing themselves with the power of the Frenzied Flame, bestowed by the Three Fingers entity sealed away beneath Leyndell. If the player does become the Lord of Frenzied Flame in _Elden Ring _ , Shabriri will become an NPC players can summon outside the boss arena for Godfrey, The First Elden Lord, wielding both Yura's Nagakiba katana weapon and Shabriri's own Frenzied Flame Incantati

It's possible fans could see the rise of more Souls -like games that are more linear like the past games. Elden Ring has proved to be a revolutionary title for the franchise, boosting their overall popularity. These games are known for their rigorous difficulty, and because of that, many fans work to reach 100% achievements as an extra challe

However, not all players want a setting to be bleak all the time. There are some light and strange moments, like with the Merchant Kalé. However, for some gamers and modders, this isn't enough and so they've created some truly funny and bizarre mods that absolutely break the g

The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War "Transient Moonlight," which essentially is the "Unsheathe" Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it's available soon after choosing a class and eldenringfans.com starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his kn

There are tons of mods that add famous swords from other video games. These are cool, but not many are funny. However, there is one exception, and watching the tarnished hold the diamond sword from Minecraft is w

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

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. Of 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 Raptor’s Black Feathers armor in Elden Ring nods to a beloved Bloodborne character, Eileen the Crow. It features a cape crafted with bird feathers, intended to imitate the Elden Ring 's Deathbirds, and is worn by an assassin called Ravenmount. Eileen’s armor has much in common with this set, being adorned with a cape made from crow feathers, similarly invoking worship of birds as figures of de

**Elden Ring ** features tons of references and nods to FromSoftware’s previous games. The infamous NPC Patches is notable, though many players are aware of his presence and know it as something of a recurring joke. However, several Easter eggs fuel the continuous speculation on a connection between the universes of Elden Ring , Bloodborne , and the Dark Souls series. There's no definitive proof that any of these share a continuity, but Elden Ring 's Easter eggs supply compelling implicati
