On the surface, Marika’s title, The Eternal, can mean that, since she is a vassal of the Greater Will in Elden Ring 's Lands Between , she is to live eternally. It may also be a reference to the long lives of the Numen. However, it could also indicate that she is of the Eternal City. If this is indeed the meaning behind the moniker, Marika would likely have to hide this fact because of the feud between the Greater Will and the

Remembering to take breaks from Elden Ring , or any game for that matter, is very important. But the joke in this user's meme is a long-running bit among the Dark Souls franchise community where any four-legged creature is called a

Known as one of the most grotesque human-like enemies because of their arachnid-based limbs, the Revenant is no Peter Parker. Underestimating the sheer speed of this creature is a huge mistake, especially since they can lunge from great leng

Fitting, given its name and where it's found, the Rotten Crystal Staff is good for its unique ability to build up Scarlet Rot on enemies. It's found Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, which is also home to one of the most compelling bosses in Elden Ri

As far as jack-of-all-trades staffs in Elden Ring go, the Carian Regal Scepter might be the best of the bunch. As one might expect from such a weapon, it has a daunting Intelligence requirement of 60, but the payoff is arguably worth the trou

A noble wolf-headed warrior, Blaidd is a loyal servant of Ranni the Witch who seeks to aid the player as they do her bidding. While he can be found in Limgrave's Mistwood, most will likely encounter him in an ethereal form in Ranni's Rise after they agree to help the witch. Though he doesn't play a major role in the events of Elden Ring , depending on when he is met, he can be summoned during the battle against Starscourge Radhan. NPC summons are an integral aspect of that fight, and his presence is a welcoming comfort that could turn the tide in one of Elden Ring 's hardest boss battl

Despite her status as an Empyrean and vessel of the Greater Will, there are hints suggesting she was plotting to betray the outer god. At Elden Ring 's Roundtable Hold , the player can hear the blacksmith Hewg whispering a prayer to Marika. He can also be heard muttering about Marika’s command that he smith a weapon that can kill a god. The Greater Will may have learned of this plot and locked Marika inside the Erdtree as punishment. The god’s knowledge of her betrayal is supported by the fact that the Two Fingers have selected three other Empyreans to be Marika’s successor - Miquella, Malenia, and Ranni. Marika's imprisonment could be why her Grace is guiding the Tarnished, to put the player in contact with Hewg so they can use the god-killing weapon in her st

Using the word annoying to describe this strange shrimp cross human is an understatement. The creatures live up to their name, crawling around on a great number of limbs with supernatural quickness and prodding players once they get close enough, which doesn’t take l

**Elden Ring ** features tons of references and nods to FromSoftware games’s previous games. The infamous NPC Patches is notable, though many players are aware of his presence and know it as something of a recurring joke. However, several Easter eggs fuel the continuous speculation on a connection between the universes of Elden Ring , Bloodborne , and the Dark Souls series. There's no definitive proof that any of these share a continuity, but Elden Ring 's Easter eggs supply compelling implicati

Rogier, one of the game's NPCs, has dialogue that hints at links between the Nox and the Numen. He says that the Black Knife Assassins are scions of the Eternal City. This implies that the Nox and Numen may actually be the same race. One likely scenario is that when the Greater Will arrived in the Lands Between and demanded the residents worship it as their god, the Nox refused to convert and were punished. Numen, translated from Latin, can mean "favor of the gods." The Numen may be those of the Nox who accepted The Greater Will as their

Marika is an Empyrean, a vessel chosen by the Two Fingers to serve an outer god known as the Greater Will. As ruler of the land, she formed the Golden Order under the Greater Will that dictates many of the world’s inhabitants' actions, like why Trolls pull coffins across the Lands Between . For all the mystery and intrigue surrounding Marika, a few items reveal her backstory. The Numen’s Rune item description explains that Marika belongs to the race of Numen. This also ties her to the Black Knife Assassins, as their armor description reveals them also to be Numen. It’s possible to select Numen as the player’s race in the character creation menu, where it is stated that they are a race of long-lived individuals that descend from another wo

A one-armed warrior, she may remind some FromSoftware fans of the One-Armed Wolf protagonist of 2019's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice . Ultimately, players can either defend or challenge her at the end of her questline, and each option yields unique end-game it
