10 Scariest Characters In RPGs

While his name may not invoke as much fear as it should, the knowledge of him being a prolific serial murderer with powers that desecrate corpses and ruin any chance of an afterlife for them might do the trick. He is one of several characters mentioned in the intro, meaning he was a banished tarnished who returned after the shattering of the Elden Ring, on a similar power level as the pla


On top of this, they didn't limit their roles to only being summons, as these Buddy NPCs served as enemies in a few areas. Alongside this, there was also lore added to each of the summonses as well, ultimately adding more depth to the game and the system as w


Being reminiscent of the Black Knights from Dark Souls and The Pursuer from Dark Souls II , the Night's Calvary was supposed to serve as a "wandering enemy" of sorts. But, later on, they were reduced to being an enemy that you could encounter only in specific areas. And, while knowing where they are, it would have been interesting to see them randomly gallivanting about and catching us by surpr


Thanks to Souls Youtuber Zullie the Witch, we know why this fight feels so familiar. In the game's code, Zullie found that assets from an unused Farron Wolf Dark Souls III boss were pulled into Elden Ring and re-appropriated in the form of the Red Wolf's curved sword attacks, which feel like a loving callback to The Great Grey Wolf


We get this ending by following the Golden Order and using the Mending Rune of Perfect Order when bringing the Elden Ring back together. In this ending, you ascend to Elden Lord, this time adding to the Elden Ring. In this age, the gods are to be seen as just as fickle as the people of the Lands Between. Taking the gods off the pedestal will keep the lands at peace for much lon


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

Abominations aren't very intelligent as they are a mixture of different dead things that will eat just about anything. This makes them the perfect conduit of evil as they serve their evil overlord, the Lich King, with no questions as


At the end of the questline, you can choose to help supplant her as the head of the academy, essentially giving her as much power as she wants to continue her research. The most intriguing thing is that at this point, at the height of her potential, you can return here to find her transformed. It's undefined why, but piecing together evidence from the world around, this may be what becomes of sorcerers who are overzealous in their pursuit of knowledge and mastery over sorc


Elden Ring has a total of 6 known endings. Four of these endings revolve around you becoming the Elden Lord, and the other two have much more significant impacts on the world. Some of the more complex endings to the game heavily rely on you to dive in and understand the lore and follow specific side que


The world of Elden Ring Walkthrough Ring is full of people and creatures whose destiny is out of their hands. The world has become a playground for the gods and higher powers, creating miserable lives for the people in the Lands Between. With each other ending, your character steps in to help make decisions for the people to try and save them, but even those endings have a new higher power controlling the world. In the Age of The Stars ending, players help Ranni break the structure of the world and ascend to godhood with you at her s


The backstory, setting, and hidden lore-filled quests of Elden Ring , crafted by fantasy author George R.R. Martin and refined by developers at FromSoftware, is a curious blend of themes from polytheistic Norse mythology and monotheistic Christianity. The Erdtree, a massive growth of golden bark and falling leaves that can be seen in every open-world area of Elden Ring , is almost certainly modeled after Yggdrasil, the Worldtree that supports the cosmos in Norse myth. Statues of the eternal goddess named Queen Marika show her hanging from an arc of light - like Christ on the cross, but also like Odin, chief god of the Aesir, who hangs himself from the branches of Yggdrasil in order to learn the knowledge of Runes. Elden Ring 's extended family of fighting Demigods - red-haired hammer-wielders like Radagon, serpentine abominations like Rykard - also correspond to famous Norse gods like Thor and monsters like Jörmungandr, magnificent, mercurial beings whose virtues and flaws are those of humanity writ la
