Elden Ring s Badlands DLC Leaks Rumors Explained

However, some people have pointed out issues with the logos on the games supposedly set to release next year. For example, the Tekken 8 logo has been revealed to be a fan edit, and the Dragonball Fighter Z Super logo __ is a combination of Dragon Ball Fighter Z and Dragon Ball Super . When it comes to Barbarians of the Badlands , some fans are saying that it does not seem like a name for a FromSoftware


FromSoftware typically reuses assets across its games for practical purposes, such as the same weapons and animations appearing in multiple games, and this will likely be the case for FromSoftware's next game after Elden Ring . These similarities are not necessarily connections or references, though. Instead, they are merely efficient use of assets for game design. However, FromSoftware occasionally places items and assets in its games which fuel theories about connections between the worlds and themes of the Soulslike ga


Anor Londo's name is likely an adoption of a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in Lord of the Rings , and can roughly be translated as " Land of the Sun ." If Elden Ring and Dark Souls were connected, the Sun Realm Shield could be an artifact from when Anor Londo basked in the sunlight. Though this is likely just an obscure Easter egg for fans, it does present the interesting idea that the events of the Dark Souls series could have happened long ago in Elden Ring ’s timel


Of all the possibilities discussed, Miquella is the most likely to be featured in Elden Ring’s upcoming DLC. He is the twin of Malenia, and according to her, he is the most fearsome of all the Empyreans. As the Scarlet Rot curses Malenia, Miquella is cursed with eternal youth, and to counteract the curses, he grows the Haligtree, which might be a parasite . He put himself in a cocoon embedded into the tree so he could grow and find a cure. However, Mohg, the Lord of Blood, prematurely removed Miquella from the tree to fulfill his plan to raise the Empyrean to godhood and become his consort. The intro sequence shows a still image of Mohg’s abduct


The Erdtree is a focal point of Elden Ring, bestowing Grace to the Tarnished . However, the Erdtree has not always been part of the Lands Between. The Erdtree is said to derive its power from the Elden Ring, but there are item descriptions that suggest the Elden Ring might not be its only source of power. Having stable sources of power is among the reasons that Miquella's Haligtree is not able to replace the Erdtree or free him and his sister from their curses as he had intended to do with its creation, since the Haligtree's source of power is forcibly removed from it before the events of Elden Ring be


While it might seem to be parasitic, the relationship between Miquella and his Haligtree is actually more symbiotic. In Elden Ring , Miquella's cocoon is the only form in which he's seen. Mohg, as someone obsessed with Miquella, cuts him out of the Haligtree and takes him away, and due to this, both the Haligtree and Miquella suffer, displaying their symbiotic relationship. The Haligtree is not a parasite, and it's unfortunate that its potential is never realized due to Mohg's actions. Since Miquella's status is unknown, if he's alive, it's possible that he might try to salvage the Haligtree, or he might start over if it can't be sa


In Soulslike RPGs ranging from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 , the total weight of a player character's equipment affects how quickly they can roll, and Elden Ring's armor and poise rules are no different. Heavy armor and weapons coupled with low Stamina will cause players to roll slowly and awkwardly, while lighter armor and weapons gives players access to swifter "medium" or "light" rolls with longer periods of invincibil


Queen Marika the Eternal is the catalyst for the game's events. She is the one who shattered the titular Elden Ring Builds Ring , throwing the Lands Between into a brutal war called The Shattering . Throughout the game, the player finds churches and statues dedicated to Marika. Several NPCs even tell stories about her. When the player finds her seemingly imprisoned inside the Erdtree, her body is broken, and she doesn’t speak. Instead, she transforms, confirming one of the biggest plot twists in the game: Radagon and Marika are one and the s

Understanding the Erdtree requires knowledge of the Lands Between before the Outer Gods, particularly the Greater Will, take an interest in it. Outer Gods that are seeking power would need to have a reason to choose the Lands Between as the place they seek to spread their influence. The Greater Will wouldn't put in the effort and send the Elden Ring to a land if it doesn't gain anything from controlling that land. What the Greater Will is likely after goes back to a point on the timeline before Elden Ring begins . The first hint at what the Greater Will wants is in the Aspects of the Crucible description, which says, " This is a manifestation of the Erdtree's primal vital energies - an aspect of the primordial crucible, where all life was once blended together." Any object or being capable of holding all life blended together would certainly be a target for the power-hungry Outer G
