<br>In total, there are fifteen bosses that drop Remembrances after being defeating. Some of them can be earned by playing through the regular storyline, but the others come from optional boss fights that are scattered throughout the various regions of the Lands Between. Remembrances are a way of rewarding players for beating the toughest enemies in the game, which is why - given how hard Elden Ring 's many boss battles can be - there are only a handful of them. What makes them so valuable is what's stored inside of them; the power of the past owner is conjured into these Remembrances as a sort of essence, which the player can either spend and get runes in return, or they can choose to utilize them in a separate way by adopting part of the defeated boss' power into their personal arse<br><br> <br>In The Fellowship Of The Ring , the first installment of The Lord Of The Rings , Saruman the White, recently defected to Sauron's side, tries to corrupt Gandalf by preaching about how Sauron's Ring can grant them the " power to order all things as we will, for that good which only the Wise can see [...] all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. " __ In this quote, Saruman unwittingly describes the once-noble intentions of the once-noble Sauron (to make the lands of Middle-earth a better , more orderly place), and illustrates through mimicry how Sauron firmly believed he was the only one smart enough to solve the problems of the world. This prideful conceit - along with the intoxicating lure of power - corrupts Sauron and Saruman, dooms major characters such as Isildur, Boromir, and Denethor, and threatens to consume even noble characters like Frodo, Gandalf, and Galadriel when they come into contact with the One Ring.

Martin, the fantasy author hired to create the game's mythical foundation, were likely both aware comparisons would be drawn between Elden Ring and its inspiration, LOTR , based on their titles alone. Rather than being daunted, however, these two creative luminaries were likely inspired to create a brand new fantasy setting full of dark, strange, and decidedly non-Tolkien-esque world-building details. The shattered Elden Ring , for instance, is not a physical artifact of power, but an ethereal magical c0de that imposes a set of natural laws over reality. The various non-human species populating the Lands Between – chimeric Demi-Humans and Misbegotten, Omens, Onyx Lords, and Albinaurics – are wildly different from the elves, dwarves, and hobbits populating Tolkien's Middle-earth. In place of a story about the forces of good fighting against once-noble powers corrupted by their pride and hubris (a very Christian tale inspired by Tolkien's devout Catholic beliefs), Elden Ring's often regretful story is a Darwinian battle of ideals between different factions, visionaries, and cosmic gods who want to change the world to fit their principles.
