MMOEXP: Samurai are a dominant force in Elden Ring
Elden Ring Runes introduces an area around its mid-game known as Caelid. Contrary to other regions, Caelid is a squalid unpleasant place, the consequence of Malenia of the Severed harnessing this potential of the deadly Scarlet Rot to curse her half-brother Starscrouge Radahn in the all-encompassing war that followed the shattering of Elden Ring. Elden Ring. It's fine if none this seems to make sense to you as I'm barely capable of comprehending the Elden Ring's lore after more than a month of playing.
The key is how Caelid is reminiscent of the scenery of the Eclipse and the Eclipse phenomenon, which happens in Berserk upon the rare induction of a new member to the God Hand, a group of god-like demons. Guts together with Band of the Hawk are invited to the ceremony by their presumed leader and friend Griffith who wants to join the God Hand to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming ruler of his own, global kingdom.
What the Eclipse accomplishes is to provide a gateway to an alternate dimension of existence and the God Hand receives the inductee's sacrifices (in Griffith's instance and the sacrifices of his Band of the Hawk soldiers) and transforms them into a demonic entity. If you are unfortunate enough to be taken to this level will be welcomed into a huge, bloody expanse inhabited by hellish creatures and that's pretty much what I'd call the Elden Ring players in Caelid.
I'm going to combine two things in this article because I don't feel like writing separate posts for both.Before the Eclipse will welcome him into the realm of God Hand, the man once known as Griffith endures a year of endless torture for having a romantic relationship with the princess of a prominent kingdom. His tongue is removed and his skin is swollen, and being forced to wear a Elden Ring Runes buy mask made of iron. After being saved by Guts and the other members of the Band of the Hawk, Griffith gradually recovers, but the mask is left to hide the scars left by his brutal encounter.
