Elden Ring Timeline: Everything That Happened Before The Game

Finally, there are three schools of Faith-based magic left in Elden Ring , and each of them finds its source in a different Outer God. The first, Blood magic, derives its power from the Formless Mother. Many of the Blood incantations require the caster to literally obtain blood from the Formless Mother's body via magic to then attack opponents with it. Though the Formless Mother is the source of power for these incantations, it is Mogh the Lord of Blood who discovered them and enables his servants to use t


But not all of the demigods participated in this war. Some searched for alternate paths, as Ranni had in killing her own Empyrean flesh. Miquella tried to create a new version of the Erdtree called the Haligtree, inside which he entered a cocoon. Mohg took Miquella and his cocoon away from the Haligtree during this period. He believed that Miquella would ascend to godhood, and Malenia wasn't there to defend her brother. Praetor Rykard fed himself to an immortal snake and took control of its body. Ranni remained uninvolved in the fights of the Shattering, instead hiding away and plotting to bring in the Age of Stars Elden Ring ending . Throughout this time, Godwyn's body was corrupting the roots of the Erdtree and spreading the curse of Those Who Live in De


More than that, it forces players to think on their toes when dealing with these enemies. The rewards of the cave itself aren't too incredible, but the experience and the fulfillment of overcoming this curveball in Elden Ring can be just as rewarding as finishing a boss fight, albeit an easy

After the boss fight, players will be pleasantly surprised that the cave will continue on until they find an exit. The whole boss area is then revealed to be an underwater tunnel that connects to the island housing the Dragon Communion Church . It sets a precedent of how caves or catacombs in Elden Ring crafting guide Ring can hide secrets, thus incentivizing player explorat


Like in other previous FromSoftware RPGs, it's not quite clear which factions in Elden Ring ** ** are "good" or "evil"; the Golden Order may have been a beacon of civilization destroyed by treachery or a conquering imperial power, while the grim assassins of the Volcano Manor faction might be blasphemous killers or heroic rebels against the Erdtree's tyranny. The Volcano Manor area of Elden Ring, noble intention of its inhabitants aside, is certainly a sinister-looking place, surrounded by lava and infested with serpentine creatures. The more players investigate the secret passageways and twisted quest-lines of the Volcano Manor, the more dark secrets they learn regarding the blasphemy of Lord Rykard and his long-term pl


The God of Rot is likely one of the Outer Gods, but it was sealed away by a blind swordsman. The Blue Dancer Charm says, "The dancer in blue represents a fairy, who in legend bestowed a flowing sword upon a blind swordsman. Blade in hand, the swordsman sealed away an ancient god — a god that was Rot itself." This event must have taken place in this era because enough time had passed for the fairy (who gave the blind swordsman the flowing sword) to become a legend and for the God of Rot to recover enough power to afflict Malenia in a later era. This also removes the God of Rot from the fight for power, allowing the Greater Will to give Elden Ring 's Grace to the Lands Between and earn followers while contesting with one less Outer


The incantations of Elden Ring are many in number, varied in purpose, and complex in nature. A Golden Order member may use his magic for evil purposes, while a Fire Monk may use the forbidden flame to heal herself from disease. Such intricacies in **Elden Ring ** 's incantations make the Lands Between feel that much more real and textu


Nokron is described as "An ancient city punished for high treason against the Greater Will." Though the details of the treason are not given, it would make sense for it to be related to the citizens of Nokron resisting the Greater Will's control. Alternatively, the treason could have been committed as a result of Marika being chosen as an Empyrean. The only proof that the Tarnished finds about the treason is the Fingerslayer Blade in Nokron, the Eternal City with its description reading, "This blood-drenched fetish is proof of the high treason committed by the Eternal City and symbolizes its downfall." This implies that citizens of Nokron tried to kill the Greater Will, but it's uncertain why they attempted this mur


The Lands Between in Elden Ring offers plenty of detours in case players don't want to delve into those brutal Legacy Dungeons yet. Caves, while short and dank, hold plenty of interesting enemies, items, and even shortcuts for the players. There are many of them scattered all throughout the Lands Between, but a few stand out for their unique mechanics and special function in the game wo


But the most significant connection between Ranni and the Nox is the Dark Moon. The Moon of Nokstella talisman explains that the Nox worshipped this moon because it guided the stars. Ranni's unique spell Ranni's Dark Moon explains that she discovered this sorcery as young child and that it was " cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery ." This occult mystery is likely related to the Nox people and their Eternal Cities, as they were sealed away beneath the ground long ago. Thus, the Moon of Nokstella and the Dark Moon are likely one in the same, and Ranni's Age of Stars ending to Elden Ring is likely what the Nox would have done if they successfully defeated the Golden Or
