The four main Sleep-inducing tools of the game - the Sleep Arrows, the Sleep Pots, the Soporific Grease, the Elden Ring Sword of Saint Trina and St. Trina's Torch - are all associated with the mysterious St. Trina, described in item text as being either a young girl or boy and most decidedly not an adult. Many FromSoftware fans had guessed that Miquella and St. Trina were the same person before said guess was confirmed by the discovery of a cut quest-line revolving around the collecting of dreams from sleeping enemies and an NPC named Rico. Lying dormant in Elden Ring 's files is cut dialogue where the NPC Rico realizes St. Trina and Miquella are one and the same, and moreover, that Miquella is cultivating a dream world in his he
The serpent demigod hibernates beneath the fire and lava, whispering out to those who'd listen, promising them eternal life. Lord Rykard was entranced with the notion of becoming everlasting and all-powerful not only to merely avoid death but to pave the way for a new world order, one without the weakness of The Greater W
The distinction in Elden Ring between Intelligence and Faith magics dates all the way back to FromSoftware's Soulslike sub-genre progenitor, the 2009 dark fantasy RPG Demon's Souls . In this prototype title, destructive effects such as Soul Arrow and Fireball were exclusive to the Intelligence-boosted Magic Spells of sorcerers (inspired by wizards from D &D _ ), while fortifying spells such as Heal or Antidote were unique to the Faith-boosted Miracles of saints (inspired by clerics from _D &D _ ). The only damage-dealing Miracle in _Demon's Souls was the shockwave-generating God's Wrath spell. The games of the Dark Souls trilogy retained the same general division of magical arts, but gave Miracle-using characters access to lightning spells. Finally, Elden Ring and its origins of Incantations __ gave Faith-based spellcasters access to lightning, fire, poison, and other forms of elemental damage in addition to traditional "cleric spells" for healing injuries and warding off harmful status effects. This makes the "damage only" focus of Intelligence magic in FromSoftware games all the more glar
Elden Ring 's bosses are notoriously tough, but much of the difficulty can be mitigated through the use of the game's various spirit ash summons.

The humble NPC Thops, a self-described "Bluntstone" sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia of the Lakes, may actually be the Glintstone Sorcerer closest in spirit to the non-militant astrologers or yore.

Before new players even learn about the existence of the Blind Swordsman, they can acquire information about the origins of this mysterious hero when they pick up the Blue Cloth Set, the signature outfit of Elden Ring 's Warrior starting class . Its item description is as foll
Of all the threats and divine forces in Elden Ring updates Ring , few are as terrifying as the Scarlet Rot, an Outer God that manifests as a The Last Of Us -style fungal pathogen. Players of Elden Ring will generally encounter the Scarlet Rot within the Caelid Wilds area, transitioning rather brutally from the verdant green beauty of Limgrave into a festering of massive fungal growths, cancerously mutated monsters, and crimson soil, all beneath a burning blood-red sky. The Demigod boss called Starscrouge Radahn has been eaten up from the inside by this Scarlet Rot, reduced to a feral, cannibalistic monster. The surviving Redmane Soldiers of General Radahn act as a bulwark against the blight, holding the Rot at bay with steel, fire magic, primitive flame-spewing tanks, and barriers of molten rock; even these heroic sentinels, however, seem to be eroded by both the Scarlet Rot and the scorching fires they likely use to cleanse themselves of infection. In addition to the Rot's ravaging of Caelid, the infection has singularly crippled Malenia, one of the Lands Between's most fearsome warri
