Though this is only speculation, it provides the best explanation for what happens in the Age of the Duskborn ending. Furthermore, it clarifies important facets about the Lands Between that otherwise have no explanation yet. Even so, true confirmation for what the mist is will likely remain another **Elden Ring collectibles Ring ** myst
What’s more, the mist being souls explains the few areas in the game where mist exists before the Duskborn ending: the Mistwood and the forest of the Altus Plateau. The Altus Plateau’s woods are directly above where Godwyn is buried, so it would make sense that his curse mark would have infected the area's roots and killed the souls they contained. As for the Mistwood, this is the first area in the game where players have access to the ancient world buried beneath the Lands Between. This ancient world was rejected by Elden Ring 's Golden Order , so it would only make sense that their souls were rejected from the Erdtree and thus smothered the Mistwood in
The Age of the Duskborn is one of the more complex endings in Elden Ring . To understand it, one must first understand what happened on the Night of the Black Knives. In that event, Godwyn and Ranni were the first demigods to be slain with a curse mark. However, Godwyn and Ranni were only half-slain in Elden Ring because their killers left half of the curse mark of death on each of them. This resulted in Ranni’s body dying while her soul lived on, whereas Godwyn’s soul died and his body lived on. In the Age of the Duskborn ending, the Tarnished and Fia bring the two halves of the curse mark of death together to make the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince . This rune is then used on the Elden Ring and restores the principle of death in the Lands Betw
Head to Murkwater Cave to visit an old familiar face. Here Tarnished will encounter Patches and have to make the infamous choice of death or keeping him around despite him literally trying to kill them. Keeping him 'alive' after the fight will give players a chance to buy a key for 5000 Runes. If you kill him, he drops Patches' Bell Bearing which can be given to the Twin Maiden Husks to still buy his Stonesword
Ranni usurps the current higher powers of the land and plans to leave the Lands Between to those who inhabit it. Being guided by the moon and the stars, people have true free will for the first time in their lives. No clarity is given as to what the people will do with their newfound free will, but whatever it is, at least they are making those decisions for themselves. The world is finally broken out of the stalemate and the cycle of pain, and people's destinies are fully their
This move is fairly easy to avoid, but it’s the Putrid Avatar variation that makes it so devastating. The Putrid Avatar leaps up into the air , then slams down hard. When it hits the ground, it sprays a heavy dose of Scarlet Rot in a wide cone in front of it . This move can be devious, as one would think the Scarlet Rot sprays all around it, so you'd think it’s best to run away—this isn’t true. The Scarlet Rot sprays in a forward cone, and it covers quite a lot of gro
The mist being dead souls explains a lot about this Elden Ring mystery . One of the biggest things it helps clarify is what the Lands Between is. Both in the Age of the Duskborn ending and in the prologue of the game, the narrator repeats the line " In our home. Across the Fog. The Lands Between ." This fog is literal, as the distant ocean is obscured in mist all around the Lands Between. Should the mist be souls, it would explain that the Lands Between is some sort of Edenic promised land related to the afterlife. The souls of the Tarnished who were banished were forced to leave, and now that they are no longer touched by Grace, their souls cannot make it back to Elden Ring 's mysterious and coveted Erdtree . They instead seem to only come close to it, obscuring the world of gods and the afterlife from the liv
In the Lands Between of Elden Ring , there are Imp Statues that can unlock several secrets. Some open areas and others hide treasures, and Tarnished can use Stonesword Keys in order to access these sealed-off stat
Fixed a bug that prevented users from obtaining Crystal Tear. If you fail to obtain a Crystal Tear, the item will be added to your inventory when moving within the vicinity of the place where you should have obtained
Whether this wall was just a bug or a joke by Miyazaki, it's interesting to see how it had to be destroyed manually. There weren't too big of secrets behind them; the only main interesting aspect was the nearly unbeatable Snake Snails in the paths behind the wall that would follow you into non-hostile ar
This curse keeps a soul from returning to the Erdtree upon death, and those who bear the curse are looked down upon by society. By cursing all people and future generations, you effectively cut out the Erdtree from the cycle of the world. By having all people bear the curse, you also end the stigmatism towards those who are already cursed. This ending is the most different Elden Lord ending as you change the world permanently by cursing all and cutting off all future souls from the Erdt
