The siege scene in Elden Ring 's cinematic trailer doesn't directly identify the demigod – or demigods – who tried to besiege Leyndell. Each army wears similar armor, but at least one of the armies in this cinematic siege has foot soldiers with wide-brimmed kettle helmets and knights with helmet crests of long, tangled hair. Both of these types of helm are worn by the soldiers who serve Godrick, the lord of Elden Ring 's Stormveil Castle , infamous for using the abominable art of Grafting to make himself stronger. If Godrick was indeed the chief architect of the siege of the royal capital, his offense failed spectacularly, and he was forged to break off the siege and return to his realm of Limgr

Though Miquella never speaks or interacts with players in Elden Ring 's main game, it's possible to construct a hypothetical Miquella boss fight scenario simply through examining his in-game lore. According to certain item descriptions, Miquella was a master of Golden Order Fundamentalism, and would likely wield incantations such as Triple Rings Of Light or Radagon's Rings Of Light in a boss fight. Miquella, like his sister Malenia, was an Empyrean - a being capable of becoming a vessel for an Outer God's power - but also created Unalloyed Gold Needles capable or cutting people off from the influence of said Gods (like the one used in Elden Ring to help Millicent fight the Scarlet Rot). If players did wind up fighting a Miquella possessed by an Outer God like the Formless Mother, they might be able to end the fight by stabbing Miquella with one of his own Unalloyed Gold Needles, freeing him from the influenced of the possessing deity. According to the description for the Bewitching Branch item, Miquella was also supernaturally charismatic and inspired fanatical loyalty in this subjects; this lore detail could be the basis for a boss fight where Miquella summons waves of faithful servants to defend hims

In the base game of Elden Ring , players encounter the Demigod Miquella after defeating Mohg, Lord Of Blood at the very peak of his Mohgwyn Palace. Body concealed within a cocoon, a single scarred arm sticking out of the webbing, Miquella seems to be in middle of a metamorphosis, transforming from his youthful, golden-haired self into something new and strange. Currently, players can't interact with Miquella's cocoon, but many Elden Ring fans believe the game's upcoming DLC will be unlocked through an item that lets players wake Miquella inside his egg-like cocoon , Soulslike Co-Op or lets them dive into his memor

From a narrative perspective, Elden Ring 's long-ago Shattering war acts as a call to arms for the player characters of the game. The demigods, through selfish warmongering and ambition, wrecked the Lands Between and forfeited their right to rule, giving the exiled people known as Tarnished a heroic reason to return to the Lands Between and claim the position of Elden Lord for themselves. From a game design perspective, a past war justifies the creation of an RPG open world filled with stately ruins, fortified castles, and roaming bands of soldiers who attack PCs on si

This battle description is a precise match for one of the battle scenes shown in Elden Ring 's cinematic trailer, where a massive army of foot soldiers, knights, trolls, and siege towers advance towards the inner walls of Leyndell, the Royal Capital, as giant darts rain down on them from above. One can easily imagine Morgott, in his disguise as Elden Ring 's fearsome character Margit the Fell Omen , using his demigod strength to hurl these massive spears towards the besieging armies, occasionally resting to perform command-related duties such as sending messengers and dispatching his military reserves to fortify beleaguered sections of the wa

There are three giant, inaccessible arenas players can travel to in Elden Ring 's open world - one in Limgrave, one in Caelid, and one in Leyndell, the Royal Capital. Each of these arenas bears a close resemblance to the Colosseum of Ancient Rome and are stylistically associated with gladiator-type enemies who wear serpentine adornments. Players can't access the interior of these arenas in the base Elden Ring game, but may be able to uses these arenas as PVP hubs when the next Elden Ring DLC comes out. A player versus player boss battle like the Old Monk fight from Demon's Souls would be particularly appropriate in such an arena setting, potentially invoking the bombastic spectacle of Roman gladiator matches, a sentiment already represented in Elden Ring 's historically inspired armor sets , or letting players fight each other on horseback in the style of knightly jou

While Kalé himself is greatly developed through his cut questline, much is also revealed about his nomadic merchant clan. In Elden Ring proper little is revealed about the group except that it conforms to a nomadic culture and was relatively unaffected by the Shattering of the Elden Ring. Kalé's people are " spurned by the grace of gold ," and thus often take the role of merchants that sell valuable goods at a fair price. Other than Kalé, the traveling merchants in Elden Ring rarely share their names, though they do set themselves apart through accessories like bird feathers in their hats. They are also a peaceful people, which makes their fate even more tragic (though they will defend themselves with Frenzied Flame magic when threaten
