Elden Ring Spoilers

Here is your warning now; I am going to spoiling some major plot points and mechanics of this game including the ending so if you want to play 100% blind then avoid this thread. Whether you choose to believe this or not is completely up to you, but you have been warned.

>How much did Martin create in the story?

Martin created I would say about a good 90% of the overall plot and lore of the base world. He was some general themes at the beginning and worked off of that. The underlaying themes and central plot lines were 100% controlled by Miyazaki. Essentially Miyazaki drew up the foundation, and Martin filled in the rest and was responsible for the lore surrounding different areas of the game.

>Is this a Souls Game?

Yes and no. Technically yes, but it's being designed purposefully ambiguous enough to so you will be able to draw your own conclusions. As some of you have more than likely already guessed the "Elden Ring" is a direct reference to the Linking of the Fire. There will be a few somewhat obvious Souls references in the game, but the Souls world won't have any real bearing on what is happening in this current game.

>How open world?

It's exactly as it sounds. From the beginning of the game you will be able to go anywhere you want with no hand holding. The world is divided up into different kingdoms, each with their own culture and ruling agendas. What is interesting, is which areas you choose to go to first and decisions you make will "alter" the other areas. What this mostly means is that other kingdoms will become more difficult and questlines may change depending on what order you decide to proceed.

For example; one of the kingdoms is plagued by a mysterious disease that if you were to say go to that area first, can be taken care of fairly easily. If you were to save that area for last, the disease will have spread further, causing greater mutations and more terrifying creatures to appear. Mechanics like that.

Shut up

this just reminds me of the sekiro 'leaks' that ended up being more interesting that what we got

>Customization

It's standard Souls affair with different stats. Instead of Vigor, End, STR, etc., you will level up things like: Courage, Honor, Emotion (name is still pending). Some will have more obvious effects than others.

You will also obtain powers by defeating bosses and harvesting their "Emboldened" body parts. Now before you get excited, no you won't be able to make some Abomination Frankenstein Monster with spliced up parts. They won't be any actual physical changes to your character. Also the powers aren't really anything super OP; just will give a slight edge in battle. You also have a limited number of powers you can use.

The good news, there is a shit ton of weapons in this game. This is easily the greatest number of weapons they've put in any game yet, so everything should be able to find something they like.


>Story

Here come the spoilers, so you have been warned.

The Elden Ring was destroyed(?) many years ago; so long in fact no one actually knows who/what did it, why it was done, or what even is. All that is known is that it is an immense power source that will essentially make anyone who has it a god.

Several kingdom want this power to rule everything, a couple just want it so not to get destroyed by other countries and one wants to make sure it's kept destroyed.

Thing is, no one really knows where it is or how to get it, but believe the other kingdoms do, or rather, a piece of how to obtain it hidden within each kingdom; either through the governing ruler or other means. Causing essentially a stalemate for countless years.

With war now on the horizon, your character becomes tasked with finding the Elden Ring before any of the other kingdoms, and ultimately deciding the fate of the world. This also means that certain kingdoms can/will become your ally or enemy depending how you play the game, or what stage in the game you are.

Doesn't mean they were false. From Software fucking loves culling all the interesting bits from their games. That's why Dark Souls 3 was more Dark Souls 1-2 than it was it's own game

>people spend hours of their lives making up bullshit about videogames to trick people on the internet

so it's like Demon's Souls but open world

That already contradicts the actual info we know.

>This allowed us to have many free and creative conversations regarding the game, in which Mr. Martin later used as a base to write the overarching mythos for the game world itself.

>ending

There are technically 5 different Endings but really I would say only 2 "true" endings; a "Hard" ending and a "Secret" ending.

The Hard ending only happens if you make every "correct" decision in your entire playthrough. Meaning you complete every essential quest line in the game for NPC's and find certain items.

I'll go more over this in a bit.

What you discover is that the Elden Ring was destroyed by your ancestor, for both the love of the a women who was tied to the Elden Ring. Your Ancestor was asked by the women that he loved to destroy the Elden Ring as it was, according to her, cursing the world and keeping it in an endless cycle of war and death. Your ancestor found the way destroy the ring, but ultimately it also meant that her life ended as well.

This is part of the whole "ambiguous" part I mentioned earlier; the ring is the Eternal Flame and the women was the last Fire Keeper, although none of this will ever be explicitly said though there will be a few clues. There was also a auditory clue at the very absolute beginning of the Elden Ring trailer for those who missed it.

That said, if you don't like this then you can easily just ignore these as the story is perfectly fine on its own.

The final boss is you fighting your ancestor; regardless if you intend to restore the Elden Ring or not.


Now let's get back to the ending. In 3 endings, restoring the ring will ultimately lead to disaster; always ending up destroying things. What you find is that it's hard as fuck to restore the true ring. It also "resets" the world.

You can only restore the true Elden Ring by completing the Hard ending. Doing so will also "reset" the world, but it makes it into a seemingly Garden of Eden like paradise, at least for now. This could argue to be the "Good Ending".

no leaks Harada huh

>ending continued

The secret ending also the "Ruler" ending, is weird as fuck, but also is more likely intended as the true ending and only happens if you uncover the mystery of a forgotten kingdom that you find fragments of throughout the world and in each Kingdom. There is also a secret boss you have to defeat.

Summarized: Time is a very central theme in Elden Ring, and no matter what you do the world is doomed to repeat itself.

Restoring the Elden Ring will reset the world no matter what. Leaving the Elden Ring destroyed will just leave the world continuously at war seeking out a power that should not exist until eventually someone else restores it and resets.

The only way to prevent this is to obtain an item that will let you restore the ring but also seal it in another world, or microverse that you have possession of.

This allows you to take the power of the ring as your own without being subjected to the endless looping effect, as now "the ring is inside you, not you inside it". The game ends with you taking over the entire world.


And that's it basically. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'll hang in this thread a bit, before heading out.

Should have used a trip though if you don't want people coming in and writing fan-fic because they're assmad.

All the time you spent making up all of this shit could have been used to play videogames.

Why did you put OP in your name? I am OP.

well this is getting silly

No I am OP

Disregard this, I suck cocks.

To demonstrate anyone can impersonate you. Should have used a tripcode.

I'm lying actually.

Fuck off. You puritan autist are the absolute worst fanbase.

In what way?

It's there a character creator?
Who are the characters in the trailer like the Smith that's keeps changing genders? That one armed chick and that face palm guy with many arms?
Are there horses you can mount?
What are the themes of the story?

Fast travel or no? Does it have a day/night cycle in the open world? Are some areas filled with higher level enemies to discourage players going there too early to get OP stuff?

Who cares nigger, are there online parts or not

Are the characters in the trailer the bosses in the game, Like each one for each kingdoms? also is the ring maker(guy using the hammer with a crack on his back) a boss too?

I've taken you all for a ride. Now SUCK IT fags.

How about you read the thread and found out?

Some of the ones in the trailer are bosses.

The one using the hammer is your ancestor and yes is the final boss of the game.

I am gay and eat shit from my dad's asshole

Sorry guys i am killing myself now

How about the combat mechanic? more like Bloodborne or dark souls 3? or completely new? care to elaborate the detail?

nobody believes you

why do these fagot always try to write their fiction here when a new game that is not known in detail yet is reveled and what they do for?

Whats the new mechanic for this one? Sekiro had the posture system and is more focused on deflecting attack, Bloodborne was more about dodging through attacks and being more aggressive with the rally mechanic, Dark souls was all about managing your stamina and blocking with your shield. What will Elden Ring focus on?

Will it have cool dragons?

>blocking with your shield

>Essentially Miyazaki drew up the foundation, and Martin filled in the rest

stopped reading there

>Doesn't mean they were false
yes it absolutely does

If I had to describe it, it's kind of a middle ground between traditional Souls and Sekiro. I wouldn't really compare it to BB at all, but even the middle ground system isn't quite right.

There's no official name for it yet, but it's going to be an armor breaking or weakness seeking system. Basically enemies will have certain weak points that you will need to target in order to trigger an armor "break" that will allow you to actual start dealing damage.

The parrying system from Sekiro isn't gone exactly, but it's not the main mechanic anymore and you'll probably be dodging more than parrying now.

Also, you won't be jumping and flying all over the place like in Sekiro. There is jumping and climbing though.

>honestly believes Martin created an entire script for a game in under a month with 0 guidance

m8 you might be retarded.

Interesting, would it be something like the surge with its parts targeting?

>Armored Souls
>mech combat game with the world design, difficulty, respawn mechanics and RPG elements of a Soulsborne

Somewhat similar, little bit different but same principle.

Also I should clarify a bit; it's still totally viable to damage an enemy without "breaking" them, but it may take longer.

For example a, a greatsword will cause greate over all damage, but may have difficulty causing a "break" effect as it cannot target or has a harder time targetting specific parts.

Something like a dagger, may not be able to do seemingly any damage, but will have a much easier time causing "break" as it can target select parts much more efficiently. The trade off obviously is that you have to get much closer and can't do much damage until "break" is achieved. There's also different ways to achieve "break" aside from just hitting the enemy directly.

Also the ways shields work is a little bit different. Less able to block, but much more easy to deflect/parry.

OP here disregard this I suck cocks.

lmao
Nice generic fanfic, start with posting names if you want to be credible next time.

Dude they clearly put Gwyn's theme in the trailer. This shit is old news.

The Elden Ring is the dark sign. It makes you immortal. You can die but you just keep coming back. The ending where it goes inside you is a prequel to Dark Souls and the final cutscene is you getting kicked down into the Undead Asylum.

whatever I will play along with the larp since im bored
is there a jump button? Mounts?

So the essential aspects of a Soulsborne are the resurrection mechanic, deepest lore, epic bosses and rewarding combat. Does Elden Ring hit all of these points?

>the bottle
>the fucking druid(s)
>LITERALLY HITLER
10/10

Is there multiplayer? Invasions? Co-op? Arena?

It's dark souls 4

So it's Ragnar Lothbrok creates the One Ring basically.
