Elden Ringis arguably FromSoftwares best game to date.
FromSoftware has used game developer magic to craft the game world.
Or you could just read this article.
This might sound familiar as the Great Gray Wolf Sif fromDark Soulsalso fights with a sword in its mouth.
However, that might not be the origin of Radagons wolf.
One ofElden Rings most devious bits of worldbuilding is the Grace of Gold.
Virtually every human enemy has at least ablotch of goldin their eye texture.
But if an NPC or enemy is human and non-Tarnished, theyve got golden eyes.
The Reason For The Polymorphic Bosses
Elden Ringis full of beginners traps.
TheLimgrave Tree Sentinelis probably the most famous example, but most traps are more devious than others.
On the surface, this metamorphosis has no rhyme or reason other than to give players a heart attack.
However, a closer examination of those creatures reveals another theory.
Powerful Mimic Tears, but Mimic Tears nonetheless.
Then again, its not uncommon for enemies to use that same trick against you.
Most bosses tower over the player character, and even standard enemies are generally taller than the main character.
This is more than just an aesthetic choice.
This design philosophy is not only a core tenet of soulsborne titles but other modern games.
Ever wonder why Link is so short inBreath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom?
This is probably why.
And while battles are challenging, they are still fair.
These include many spells and, you guessed it, using the Flasks of Crimson Tears.
However, not everything has a flag (e.g., Raw Meat Dumplings and Night Comet).
They might be placed in some insidious locations, but they only take one hit to dispel.
Plus, these walls (usually) hide amazing secrets.
But how do they work?
The answer is quite simple: Illusory walls are demi-NPCs.
This news made many players wonder what made this wall so special.
According to Zullie the Witch, nothing;allillusory walls have 9,999 HP.
Its just that theyre programmed to play a self-deletion event when hit by a player characters attack.
As a result, Margits Shackle and Mohgs Shackle are perfect wall minesweepers since they have such large hitboxes.
But since invisible walls are on the lookout for hitboxes of any kind, they are inadvertently affected.
These shackles are far from the only items inElden Ringwith unintentional side effects.
Wearing the Deathbed Dress used to have some unintended consequences.
Prior to Patch 1.06, thedress also broke stealth.
If you wore it, nearby enemies always knew where you were, even if you were crouched.
for the PVP fans and a lone teleporter in the Consecrated Snowfield for PVE players.
Some weapons and armor are notoriously difficult to find.
Regardless, the game is full of NPCs who can mount others and ride them.
Unlike virtually every other Heros Grave or dungeon obstacle,Chariots are classified as NPCs.
They even have an HP pool with a staggering one health.
However, one mystery remains: why Chariots are mountable.
If you hack the game, you’ve got the option to technically ride them.
Without Hit Materials,Elden Rings engine wouldnt know what kinds of footsteps sounds to use when players walk.
Level designers applied the same logic to numerous other areas.
Some locations even take advantage of the open world design and can be accessed in more than one way.
