An Elden Ring player beat the game with a build inspired by the lone Soldier of Godrick. Since its 2022 release, FromSoftware's critically acclaimed open-world game has offered users a variety of branching customizable playstyles to suit their specific tastes, with fantasies ranging from the trusted knight with a sword and shield to powerful spellcasters with esoteric specialties. With such a rich collection of weapons and magic, one player took the opportunity to create a character inspired by one of Elden Ring's first and most beloved boss fights.
Easily-Missed Elden Ring Detail Hints At Brutal Lore Of The Past

A subtle detail opens a rabbit hole of violence, stretching back centuries into the Lands Between's past. As is usually the case with From Software games, 's lore is deliberately mysterious and obtuse. Rarely do characters offer comprehensive explanations directly to the player, and even when they do, they almost always do so with ulterior motives. For the most part, it's up to the player to piece together stories by looking closely at certain details. Recurring trends, out-of-place objects, and item flavor text can reveal a wealth of information about the world of.
And since 's map is much bigger than the average Souls game's, it stands to reason that it contains many more secrets. While many of those may be answered by the upcoming DLC, others yet remain obscure. Still, some seemingly inexplicable details are already well explained in-game, if only players know where to look.
The bodies of dead Giants are littered around a certain area in 's Mountaintops of the Giants region — in fact, they're even visible on the map. The Giants' graveyard is just northeast of the Foot of the Forge Site of Grace. This may seem fairly obvious. After all, the area is named for the Giants who once inhabited it, and the game makes it pretty clear that Giants have since gone extinct. However, the giants' deaths, their presence in various areas around the map, and the variation in their sizes raise countless questions about 's lore.
The dead giants on the mountaintops are casualties of 's war against the Giants. They were once members of the Fire Giant race who once called these mountains home. They wielded the power of a forgotten, one-eyed fire god, whose form often appears on their armor and equipment. In exchange for this power, they were made to keep the god's Flame of Ruin alive. The flavor text for the Sword of Night and Flame implies that they may have shared their knowledge with a group of astronomers who had also taken up residence in the mountains.
's Sword of Night and Flame can be found within Caria Manor. It scales best with Intelligence and Faith, so it's ideal for builds that use these stats prominently.
After the Erdtree was born and the Golden Order assumed its blessing, Queen Marika set out to eliminate anything that might be a threat to her. Since the Flame of Ruin could be used to burn the Erdtree, Marika ordered Godfrey, the first Elden Lord, to march his armies into the mountaintops and snuff out the flame. She failed to do so, but instead sealed away a single Fire Giant — the boss players later fight in — to watch over it in solitude, the last of his kind, for all eternity.
