    The Golden Order Has Been Broken
    QpLNTU6.png

    Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.

    In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered.

    Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will.

    And now, the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring.

    And become the Elden Lord.

    A Fractured World
    qi4nj2d.png

    Journey through the Lands Between, a new fantasy world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls), and George R. R. Martin (Game of Thrones).

    In your journey to become the Elden Lord, you will traverse the Lands Between, left utterly devastated by the Shattering. From wide, sweeping landscapes to tight, treacherous dungeons, on foot or by horseback, immerse yourself in a vast, seamless world and FromSoftware's largest to-date.

    From the grand fields where your journey begins, mythic creatures prowl the veldts, ineffable horrors lurk in the bogs and marshes, and all manner of soldiers and itinerant warriors are waiting for those who wander unawares. Be weary as you grow as the Tarnished, more fearsome foes will block your path and test your might.

    Through Might and Magic
    qi4nj2d.png

    Elden Ring expands upon the Souls formula with new avenues of play. Stealth is now a viable option in avoiding detection and clearing bandit camps with ease.

    Summoning the fallen souls of your foes anywhere and at any time to assist you in defeating the toughest of enemies is encouraged.

    Sprit Springs litter the landscape to make traversal as seamless as possible as you scale the tallest of mountains on the back of Torrent, your trusty Spirit Steed. This introduction of mounted traversal goes hand in hand with the new mounted combat, adding even more ways for you to approach combat than ever before.

    Crafting makes an introduction, with resources gathered in Marika's Domain going towards the creation of new and powerful equipment.

    The catacombs of the Lands Between house vast treasures within, reserved only for the most bold of Tarnished.

    In the Age of Gods
    qi4nj2d.png

    The Demigods – once members of a royal and noble family have now been reduced to squabbling warlords hellbent on a never-ending conflict, ruling their respective fiefdoms with an iron fist.

    Possessing shards of the Elden Ring known as Great Runes, they wield astronomical power at the price of their sanity.

    Six legacy dungeons for six mad rulers. Will you be the one to challenge the Demigods & restore the Elden Ring?

    OT created by iFirez & vestan

    A message from iFirez, one of the OT creators
    QpLNTU6.png

    Well here we are, I honestly didn't think this day would ever come… but before I get into that, let me just say a huge thanks to vestan for letting me in on his OT claim for Elden Ring and letting me go ham on the design and posting this. I really hope you all like the OT, I tried to do something special for this one… as it's my last. Also a big congrats to NightmaresHunter for suggesting the winning title "A Song of Grace and Gold". Which, foolishly, I originally omitted from the initial poll and it was added in later and still came out pretty high in the results and then it took the final voting poll by a good margin. I really appreciated everyone who suggested OT titles and big props to Mifec too, sorry your's missed out.

    So with that all said, I guess we get to it, as I mentioned this is my final OT. I've been doing these things for 3 years now, my very first was Anthem, of all things. My goal was always to try to create a detailed thread that felt like an extension of that game's unique world, tone and voice. Whether that be ink and brush strokes with Ghost of Tsushima, colourful child-like postcards with Animal Crossing or loud science fiction with Halo Infinite. I enjoyed every single second of making OTs, I really did. I won't be going anywhere either, I'm sticking around Era, as active as ever. But I feel like there's a lot of creative talent in this community and I hope the claims I would have taken, go instead, to someone passionate about creating high quality, informative OTs for those respective games communities to hang out in - just as I am. My very first OT helped me get a job in the games industry and life is just so very different now than it was in 2019, so it's time for me to step aside before I turn 30 and let some others climb that OT design ladder. I can't wait to see what you all cook up in the future - it has been an honour creating OTs these past few years and of course shout outs to all the usual suspects of talented OT creators who have posted alongside me… but a final thank you to TheMoon for their tireless and often thankless work on the OT claim system and I always appreciated letting me collab with you on the Xenoblade Switch OT, keep up the good work... all of you.

    This isn't a goodbye because you'll all see me around, but it is a farewell of sorts - from my OTs.

    "Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind."

    "Now rise, Tarnished."

    Finally a perfect name for OT!

    Btw, could anyone spoiler me a good blade for dex build (prisoner)? I don't really understand all this RPG bullshit. I like falchion I have and its special, but it's not really for me, right? I didn't like katana. I need to upgrade the weapon and give it quickstep, but can't commit to anything. I really wish there was a separate thread for stupid newbie questions!

    Godskin Duo is kicking my ass. Not a great sign when one of the hardest fights in the game is a reused mini boss.

    First thread was the fastest thread I've seen on this forum for an OT. Pure insanity with this game.

    I finally beat Malenia, Goddess of Rot! What an amazing fight that is equally frustrating because of the insane RNG. Her wind up can either be a kick and slash, a a hard thrust, or the most broken move in all of FROM's souls games that can easily one-shot you if you even look at her wrong. She is without a doubt the hardest Souls boss they've ever made, and she's not even DLC.

    However, I beat her after "the burning" and have no idea how to get to her great rune tower. Am I screwed?

    quoting myself from OT1 in hopes of getting help because I hope I didn't screw myself D:

    Anyone know why I have never been summoned to fight Margit? Like I drop my sign in the tunnel just before the fight and Ive never been summoned even once. By contrast Godrick Im being summoned fast. Is there a hard level cap per zone or something? Godrick and Margit should be close by level even if so no?

    Has anyone put in 40 hours in and then realized that they should've tried a different class. I'm getting that feeling now. I picked Samurai but my play style is more tank like and I feel I should've picked vagabond. I'm debating whether I should reroll.

    Edit: typo

    Reading through this thread (well, really the last thread), it's crazy to me how many people aren't investing in vigor or endurance, that just feels like it would make the game so, so hard. I'm level 80-something and those two are my most invested stats by far. They're both in their mid 30s and my next highest stat is dex at 22.
