Elden Ring Timeline: Everything That Happened Before The Game

For those who want to learn the lore of Elden Ring and all the characters , they will generally spend hours reading the description of every item, studying the game’s architecture, examining every painting, and exploring every inch of the map. However, there are some mysteries that currently have no answer in the game. This could be a deliberate move, and hint at DLC answering them, or it could just be that they've been left deliberately ambiguous. Either way, answers would be welcome, and DLC would be the best way for them to come ab

There are a few choices for Armaments with a Scarlet Rot build, but the best is arguably the Rotten Crystal Spear . It pokes fast, its skill Charge Forth can close the gap between you and a spellcaster PvP opponent, and it builds Scarlet Rot with every hit. You can also try the new Poleblade of the Bud, which drops from Romia, Saint of the Bud, a new Remembrance boss in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.


Another mystery revolves around Miquella’s slumber. Miquella is an important character in Elden Ring lore. He built the Haligtree to cure his twin sister, Elden Ring boss Malenia , of scarlet rot, but before the tree could fully grow he is stolen by Mohg, Lord of Blood. Mohg believes Miquella can ascend to godhood, and he can be Miquella’s consort. Yet, no matter how much blood Mohg shares with Miquella’s cocooned form, there is no respo


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

There are three major Scarlet Rot incantations: Rotten Breath, Ezykes's Decay, and Scarlet Aeonia. Rotten Breath unleashes a cloud of Scarlet Rot over the battlefield and rapidly builds up the affliction in targets . Ezykes's Decay does the same thing, but stronger and from above where it's harder to be staggered. These two spells will be your bread and butter until getting Scarlet Aeonia.


There are no invaders at the Lyndell colosseum, but at the doors is the Ritual Shield Talisman and a fist weapon is nearby. The talismans and Elden Ring 's weird fist weapon boost players' stats and defense, and, interestingly, these are found around the colosseums. Perhaps this is a coincidence, but in a game like Elden Ring , __ coincidences are suspici
Elden Ring ' s Scarlet Rot is the birthright (and birth curse) of the demigod Malenia, and in her battle against General Radahn she laid waste to the land of Caelid with this curse. Needless to say, it's powerful stuff, and with the right build players can bend this curse to their own will and lay waste to PvP opponents and endgame bosses alike.


Later, Sir Gideon Ofnir reveals that Miquella is sleeping and residing in his dream. Gideon comments that as long as Miquella continues to sleep in his cocoon " all will be well. " That ominous warning from Gideon brings up the question: what if Miquella wakes up at some point in Elden Ring 's st


The colosseum in Limgrave and Caelid share similarities. When the colosseum in Limgrave is approached the Tarnished can be invaded by an Elden Ring NPC named Recusant Henricus. When the NPC is defeated, players get the Hammer Talisman. During the Volcano Manor questline, players can also invade an NPC outside the colosseum. At the entrance is a ghost lamenting that the doors will not open and all they " wanted was to figh


Based on the look of Miquella’s arm, which is thin and covered in blood, it is unknown if Miquella’s body could work outside of his egg . All the blood Mohg shared with Miquella could have left his body damaged. If it was impossible for Miquella to wake up, would it be possible to enter his dream? Miquella’s hand is hanging at the height of the player and looks to be set up for future interaction in a potential Elden Ring DLC expans


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
