Elden Ring is the developers' latest -- and biggest -- acclaimed hit, and its gameplay and narrative conventions are no except<br> <br>But the most significant connection between Ranni and the Nox is the Dark Moon. The Moon of Nokstella talisman explains that the Nox worshipped this moon because it guided the stars. Ranni's unique spell Ranni's Dark Moon explains that she discovered this sorcery as young child and that it was " cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery ." This occult mystery is likely related to the Nox people and their Eternal Cities, as they were sealed away beneath the ground long ago. Thus, the Moon of Nokstella and the Dark Moon are likely one in the same, and Ranni's Age of Stars ending to Elden Ring is likely what the Nox would have done if they successfully defeated the Golden Or<br><br> <br>In an interview with Games Radar+ , Miyazaki said "There was nothing visual – it was all text" when referring to Martin's worldbuilding outlines. He expanded upon that, saying "it was something that depicted the setting or set the scene for the game and for the world," and then they "were able to interpret this in our own way and provide the visua<br><br> <br>Since the game's announcement, there was very little revealed of Elden Ring until last year's gameplay trailer, surely a testament to its intense production. Naturally, that means that many things were happening during its development cycle that fans may not know ab<br><br> <br>"The basic policy of telling a story in this work is the same as in the Dark Souls series. The textual information is presented in pieces and is intended to be connected in the user’s mind or to be imagined by the user. The reason for this is that we want the gameplay itself to be the story of the user. However, I think that NPC conversations are more straightforward than in past works." When learning of the Lands Between's lore, there does seem to be more direct dialogue from NPCs. Though, Elden Ring still retains a veil of ambigui<br><br> <br>A smaller gameplay secret that's tied to the world of Elden Ring is the golden leaves from the Erdtree. On certain nights, these gold leaves can be seen falling to the ground around the player. At the same time, the Tarnished can be seen buffed with a golden aura as w<br> <br>The following "helm" items described below bear a close resemblance to the heads and bodies of certain NPCs and some of the best enemies in Elden Ring . Some of these items can be found and picked up by going to certain locations in Elden Ring 's open world. Others must be acquired by completing certain Quests or slaying certain enemies (repeatedly, if those enemies have a low chance of dropping the item in question). Each has a lore-filled item description that reveals small yet interesting secrets about the non-human species of Elden Ri<br><br> <br>Indeed, Ranni shares a lot with the Nox people. The Nox strangely have a great admiration for the stars despite living deep beneath the ground. However, this affinity makes sense when visiting either Nokron of Nokstella, as their false skies glitter with stars. Even the large, scorpion-skeleton hybrid creatures who use Gravity Sorceries in these locations are called "Malformed Stars." This calls to Ranni's goal in creating an Age of Stars in which the Greater Will is replaced with the Dark Moon and the Outer Gods are kept away from the Lands Between. Thus, stars play an important role in both Ranni's and Nox's mission, which are already similar in their <br><br> <br>With the star power behind the Lands Between's lore, it's a given that A Song of Ice and Fire had a consistent influence on Elden Ring . However, since Dark Souls also looked to be an amalgamation of fantasy inspirations, it's also expected that Miyazaki sought out m<br><br> <br>In some cases, players are not even given the option spare or kill. Blaidd, as Elden Ring 's most tragic <a href="https://www.eldenringpulse.com/articles/ironeye-s-treacherous-odyssey-unveiling-elden-ring-nightreign-s-most-shocking-betrayal.html">Character story endings</a> , is destined to go mad because he is a Shadow of an Empyrean who chooses to not fulfill her destiny, and he thus must be put to rest. Iji, too, dies as a consequence of his own accident, as he thought that trying to hold Blaidd in an Evergaol would be the best way to both protect Ranni and keep Blaidd alive. In both of these instances, the Tarnished has little say in matters of right and wrong because NPCs are either destined to perish or have their own histories to answer <br><br> <br>The world of **Elden Ring ** , FromSoftware's newest dark fantasy RPG, is full of fancy helms and hats players can acquire (either by picking them up from bodies or slaying enemies over the course of play). The weirdest, most intriguing helmets by far are the ones literally crafted from the bodies and heads of certain side characters and opponents in Elden Ring ; aside from letting players customize their characters or engage in "cosplay" shenanigans, the item descriptions for these helmets also give gamers a lot of information about the odder lifeforms in this game's sett<br>
