**Elden Ring ** ’s Putrid Crytalian Trio within Sellia Hideaway is another annoying boss encounter. Crystalians are common enemies and bosses in the game, and they can be especially problematic for players without weapons to deal blunt damage. However, the Putrid Crystalian Trio are the most annoying Crystalians in the game. There is a Staff, Spear, and Ringblade Crystalian who all deal Scarlet Rot when they attack the player. In theory, players should defeat the Staff Crystalian first, but that is a challenge when the Spear and Ringblade Crystalians are chasing the player. Spirit Ashes may help, but they should inflict blunt dam

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

One unanswered question is the relationship between Nepheli and Godfrey. Since Godfrey becomes chief of the warriors, the name Loux may be a clan name that Nepheli took to show which clan she came from. Another potential connection is she may be Godfrey’s mysterious Elden Ring warrior daughter born before or after his marriage to Queen Marika. Nepheli could also be distantly related to him, like a granddaughter or great-granddaughter. The relationship between Nepheli and Godfrey at this moment isn't entirely known, but perhaps the unconfirmed Barbarians of the Badlands DLC could further explain their relationship. It also could reveal more about this mysterious Badland location that lies beyond the Lands Betw

However, there is also a chance that this leak is a hoax fabricated by the group responsible for the ransomware attack. Based on the other game titles released, some individuals believe this leak is a hoax and has no chance of being true. That said, this also happened with Capcom several years ago, ultimately resulting in the Dragons Dogma 2 sequel being revealed ahead of sched

**Elden Ring ** centers around the Greater Will, which spreads its Grace to the Lands Between through the Erdtree. The Erdtree might be the most famous plant in the Lands Between, but Miquella seeks to create a new great tree as a source of power to bless the people without the influence of the Greater Will, despite having been chosen by the Greater Will as an Empyrean. However, both of these great trees might have some parasitic qualities depending upon how they're viewed and what acts as their source of power. Yet only one of them is a true parasite upon further investigat

There is a probable chance that the Barbarians of the Badlands DLC and the other leaked games titles are a hoax, but anything is still possible until more is known. According to the leaked image, the Badlands DLC is set to be released during Q3 of 2023 but assuming this is a larger DLC, then that would fit the general timeline of FromSoftware DLC release dates. Until the company releases information about the DLC or more authentic leaks are pushed out, _Elden Ring _ fans may continue to brush this off as a h

Queen Marika, the ruler of The Lands Between in **Elden Ring ** , has ties to people and places that may point to her actually being a Mimic from the Eternal Cities. This Elden Ring theory has evolved in the months since the game launched. It may sound outlandish at first but makes a lot of sense when considering the game’s penchant for hidden plots and alternate identities. The theory also has significant in-game evidence to back it

**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, darkdrift Knight everdark sovereign 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

Using the word annoying to describe this strange shrimp cross human is an understatement. The creatures live up to their name, crawling around on a great number of limbs with supernatural quickness and prodding players once they get close enough, which doesn’t take l
