Handing D the dagger seems to confirm Fia's suspicions of him and his twin brother as hunters of Those Who Live in Death. Because Fia works for Elden Ring 's Prince of Death , she kills D for this reason. She appears to kill him using Death itself, as thorns cover his body. These same thorns cover Rogier's legs, meaning he also must have been affected and killed with Death Blight by researching Black Knifeprints with Fia and sleeping with her. While Rogier knew that his association with Fia and Death would lead to his own end, it is the player's enabling of Fia and Rogier that leads to his and D's dea
The Fire Giants of Elden Ring lore were not always Fire Giants. They were originally just giants until Marika and Godfrey defeated the Fire Giants before Elden Ring 's main story, exiled them to the Mountaintops, and forced them to tend to the flame of a fell god for all of eternity. The reason for this specific punishment is fitting because, according to the Fire Giants' spells, they tried to harness the power of this god in their battle with Marika in their own bodies. In doing so, they created the Fire Giant incantations and continue to hold the flame of this god in Elden Ri
While players might not be happy about Elden Ring's quiet boss nerfs , this nerf to the Fallingstar Beast is a little different. This encounter wasn't mean to be as difficult as it was at launch, as the Fallingstar Beast in the Selia Crystal Tunnel wasn't meant to behave like the full-grown version. Because of this, the Fallingstar Beast was nerfed in patch 1.03 to the version of the enemy that developers intended it to be, which no longer includes Eldenringpulse published a blog post second phase for the fi
With Elden Ring 's patch 1.04, the 9999 HP illusory wall is now a normal, unbreakable wall. While this would be simple enough to add into the patch notes, perhaps the developers don't want players searching for more walls that shouldn't be - but are - breaka
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
The Albinauric Mask helm is literally and grotesquely crafted from the face and hide of a second generation Albinauric according to its item description. Aside from granting an Arcane attribute bonus and letting player characters resemble pudgy-faced aliens, the Albinauric Mask (found near the Volcano Manor area of Elden Ring ), along with other Albinauric-themed game items, tells us a lot about who the Albinauric people are, and how thy came to ex
Finally, Death sorceries fall into a unique category in _Elden Ring _ lore. Namely, Death magic has both incantations and sorceries. In either case, Death-related sorceries are derived from what is known as the Ghostflame, which existed prior to even the Erdtree. The Ghostflame was tended by Death-Rite Birds, who still yield to the Ghostflame to this day alongside fellow servants of De
The second is the magic of Elden Ring 's Frenzied Flame . The Outer God of the Frenzied Flame is the antithesis of the Greater Will: where the latter represents order, the former represents chaos. Consequently, the incantations of the Frenzied Flame cause destruction and drive both their users and victims mad. The Frenzied Flame is so powerful that it can destroy the entire world of Elden Ring and return it to the Crucible it once was, which is the ultimate goal of its Outer
As a consequence of their stronger control of the flame, the Fire Monk incantations resemble those of the Two Fingers and Golden Order. However, what is notable about these incantations is that they defeat effects from Outer Gods like Scarlet Rot and the Golden Order. Spells like Flame, Cleanse Me explain that the fire of the fell god causes fear in the Outer Gods, which is what allows it to have this eff
The Fire Monks, whether fellow exiles in the Mountaintops or willful followers of the fell god, battled alongside Fire Giants in their war against Marika. In the process, they became obsessed with the flame of this fell god. Having gotten more control of the flame, they developed the Fire Monk incantations that derive their power from the same source as the Fire Giants in Elden Ri
**Elden Ring ** , like many games, receives regular patches to improve gameplay and address any bugs or glitches that may be occurring. Oftentimes, the patch notes for games will include a vague line that other improvements have been made and bugs have been fixed, but the details for those changes aren't listed. The most recent patches, 1.03 and 1.04, included some unmentioned changes to the game that players might have missed, including some hidden nerfs to enem
