Elden Ring is currently one of the most popular and most difficult recently released RPG games. Though it has only been out for a short period of time, fans of the game have quickly discovered that the vast world is filled with secrets and frightening enemies.
All this being said, many players have taken to Reddit to tell other gamers about hidden details in the game that make it even more fun to play. After all, these little tidbits are what make this game something that can be enjoyed over and over again. What are the mot interesting discoveries that Redditors have made so far?
Fake Walls That Take Many Hits To Break
As Redditor Block508 points out, "in Elden Ring there are fake walls that take many hits to break (at least 50)." While only two of these difficult-to-find hidden walls have been discovered, one of which is in the manor, there's no doubt that there are more to be uncovered.
Though this is an interesting find in the game, some fans don't think these hidden spaces are really worth the effort it takes to break into them because there's not always much behind them. However, there's no harm in trying to look for more.
Prattling Pate To Speak To Co-op Players
If players come across a Prattling Pate as they explore the world with friends, it might be a good idea to keep the item on hand according to swans183, because it "can be used to speak with people in your co-op session." This is definitely something players should know about before starting Elden Ring.
Finding a Prattling Pate isn't super difficult and there are many locations in the map of the world where players have discovered them. While they aren't necessary to make the game better, this small detail just the game more exciting when playing with other people.
Latenna Can Ride Enemy Wolves When Summoned
Slumber777 says that "Latenna, an Albinauric, can ride enemy wolves when summoned as a Spirit Ash since she [has] a deep connection with the wolves." This not only makes her a cool sidekick for any wolf attack, but also makes her a more dynamic character in the game.
Latenna and her people, the Albinaurics, are very in tune with the wolves and this summoning ability makes this side character's story relevant to the actual gameplay, which is absolutely amazing. It shows how much thought was put into every aspect of Elden Ring.
Bat Siren Song Translation Has A More Profound Meaning
Trapen1 says that when the bat siren's haunting Latin song is translated into English, "it hints that some enemies have a deeper history." In other words, she reveals some more of the mysterious lore of the world and the creatures that must survive in it.
This hidden detail is really cool, especially since most people playing the game will just write this song off as some kind of in-world gibberish although it actually has a tangible meaning. Though some players may hold unpopular opinions that Elden Ring doesn't have a direct narrative, the bat siren is just another character that adds to story without interfering in the gameplay.
All Of The Portraits Correspond To Leaders Of Systems Of Magic
The Raya Lucaria Academy is home to many important hidden details in Elden Ring. Redditor suppordel says that all of the crowns and masks shown in the game "correspond to sorcerers whose portraits you can find in the Academy."
These pieces represent the important magic leaders in the game's lore and further add to the fantasy and medieval aesthetics of the story. Looking out for this detail in all the portraits is another great way to get immersed in this world and its history.
Larval Tears Can Be Used To Rebuild Character
Ghost652 says "the Larval Tear is the larval stage of the Mimic Tears you fight in Nokron and Nokstella, the ones who morph into people. You use Larval Tears to rebuild your character." In other words, this item allows players to customize their avatar even after the game starts.
While not everyone is super worried about customizing their character, this can be a fun tool to use throughout Elden Ring, and it means it's no big deal if someone doesn't like the way they first build their avatar.
Spell Damage Can Differ
Apparently, there are hidden details in the game that refer to the connection between magic and the weather. Redditor 80lv says "that spell damage can be changed based on in-game weather conditions."
All this means is that rain, thunderstorms and sunny weather can all greatly impact the efficacy of different kinds of magic. It's safe to say that no rain means most attacks will be more effective. It's a cool little detail that players should keep in mind when picking their Elden Ring class, especially if they are considering going Prophet.
If You Fight Morgott You Can't Go Back And Fight Margit
One aspect of the game that most players don't know about is that if a player skips past the fight with Margit, one of the best characters in Elden Ring, at Stormveil Castle and fights Morgott, they can't go back and fight Margit.
LeRutax explains that this is because "Morgott is the true identity of Margit and they are the same character." In this sense, the game is just staying consistent with the story, but it's a neat concept that some players might not notice.
Rennala Points To A Hidden Passage
Sometimes the secrets in the game stare players right in the face, as they are deceptively hidden in plain sight. Redditor Arestedes says "Rennala is kind enough to point out a hidden pathway, if you are looking closely that is."
In this post, this Redditor specifically references a portrait of Rennala inside the Raya Lucaria Academy. This passage allows players to take a shortcut and explore a little bit more of the beautiful old building, which makes the world feel all the more realistic.
Jar People Gather Food For Erdtrees
CartoonGabbo makes a very important point about one hidden story element in Elden Ring surrounding the Jar people, who are actually the sentient remains of fallen soldiers. They believe that these Jar people are in the game "to go around and gather "food" for the Erdtrees."
Not only would this make sense because the Erdtrees are usually surrounded by many shattered jars, but it also makes sense with the lore of the Erdtree which can return peoples' souls when they are buried at its roots. The smashed jars, in this case, are just remnants of vessels that souls use to get home.
