In a cruel irony, the armies of Radahn and Malenia remained undefeated to the very end, for their struggle ended in a catastrophic stalemate where neither side could achieve victory. Radahn, with his fearsome swords and gravitational sorcery, slaughtered the Cleanrot Knights in droves. Malenia, pushed to her limits by Radahn's star-conquering strength, unleashed the divine power of Rot she had for so long restrained, a scarlet flower that flooded the land with virulent toxins and spores. And so one of Elden Ring 's harder regions, Caelid , fell into ruin, its former ecosystem replaced with strange fungal growths, toxic lakes, and mutated organisms. The exhausted Malenia was rushed back to her Halligtree home by the few surviving Cleanrot Knights. General Radahn, his mind and body eroded by the Scarlet Rot, wandered mindlessly along the shores of Caelid, devouring the corpses of friend and foe alike, and the remnants of Radahn's army dedicated their lives to keeping the Scarlet Rot in check via fire magic, flame-thrower tanks, and barriers of molten r

While Kalé's role in Elden Ring is minimal, a lengthy cut questline would have given the dedicated capitalist a much greater impact on the narrative. According to data miners, the storyline would have seen Kalé embark on a journey to locate the Great Caravan that his people once called home. The merchant would leave the Church of Elleh to travel all across the Lands Between, with his search eventually landing him in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell where the Three Fingers reside. While Melina typically advises the Tarnished protagonist to resist joining the Three Fingers and possessing the Frenzied Flame, Kalé's cut questline would have put an entirely new perspective on this scena

The total Health, Stamina, and FP of the player will be increased by 15% with the use of Radahn’s Great Rune. These increases will assist the player, and noticeably upgrade them considering their level-1 run will prevent them from just throwing Runes into attributes, Radahn’s Great Rune bypasses t

Upon reaching the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds and the end of his questline, Kalé's carefree personality takes a very dark turn. The merchant learns that his people were intentionally alive beneath the capital of Leyndell, because they were suspected of worshipping Elden Ring 's Three Fingers and Frenzied Flame infliction . While he denies that his people were associated with the bizarre deity, Kalé declares that he will never forgive the people of the Lands Between for their actions. He refuses to trade with the player again, and wishes to uses the Frenzied Flame to destroy the Golden Order and burn away the Great Caravan's suffer

From a certain perspective, the gameplay and soulslike Co-op narrative of Elden Ring is merely the final chapters of a far longer and epic history the player only glimpses in fragments. Long before the player's Tarnished character returns to the Lands Between in search of the Elden Ring, mythical heroes and monsters left their mark on the world. Ancient dragons ruled the skies with crimson lightning, a mysterious gloam-eyed queen and her servants hunted gods with black flame, Elden Ring 's Queen Marika and Godfrey carved out a new dynasty with blade and golden power, General Radahn halted the stars in the sky, and the twins Malenia and Miquella grew a brand-new world tree that creatures of all shapes and sizes could call h

There are a total of eight Great Runes that you can get in Elden Ring , but for players at Rune Level 1 Great Runes are much harder to acquire. Thankfully, the best Great Rune for Rune Level 1 playthroughs is made available first, but the other seven options have their uses in certain situations.
