Various curiosities about the way of making FromSoftware games.
It will likely be years before all the secrets that lie beneath the Elden Ring Midlands are revealed, as it was with other FromSoftware games, but the fan community remains engrossed in the game’s universe even six months after its release. beginning of the year. A player has figured out how to descend to the base of the great Golden Treeand the truth is that there are more than interesting things, like an unknown creature.
More than a secret itself designed specifically to be discovered and provide some lore or some kind of added value, it seems to be simply a shortcut inside the map to access an area that should not be seen during a normal game. That is to say, it is similar to the bugs of other games when you fall into the stage through walls and see the interior of the map itself.
Inside the Midlands
As shared through the Reddit forums, a user has been able to go down to the base of the Golden Tree thanks to the special attack of the sword of Malenia, it is already propelled forward in the air. To do this, he throws himself from a Leyndell ledge, near the area where you fight Gideon Ofnir, and by doing Malenia’s special move he manages to reach a pillar and, from there, go down to the bottom.
You have to be careful, since it is not an area designed to be visited, so there are invisible walls and walls that can be crossed, it is easy to fall. Once down, this intrepid player is surprised by Hora Loux’s model in combat stance, although there is no attack nor is there a boss fence. It is simply there “saved” until it is activated in the corresponding combat. If this area is accessed first, it is possible that the model that appears is that of Morgott, since he is the boss that goes before Hora Loux / Godfrey.
The curiosities do not end there, because it can also be seen between the invisible walls the combat arena where you fight Morgott first and then Hora Loux/Godfrey, and it’s a lower level than the rest of the stage for some unknown reason. Although the most intriguing of all, perhaps, is that on one of the cliffs that surround the city, the model of a totally unknown creature, but it doesn’t look good and it seems impossible to get down there. We will have to wait for another Sinluz to come up with the solution.
