◆01: Michela's arm
Michela is a divine being who is often mentioned in the text of items in Elden Ring, and is also the twin brother of one of the bosses, ``Michela's Blade Marenia.''
Michela wrapped herself in a sacred tree that she made to protect Marenia from the 'vermilion rot', but the cocoon was stolen by the boss of the Morgwyn dynasty, 'Blood Lord Morg'.
According to Kotaku, as
◆02: Vast space
According to
The shot of the player's alter ego, Faded Man, riding his spirit horse, Trent, through an open grassland lined with phantom tombstones clearly expresses the vastness of the DLC. Kotaku commented, 'This tombstone also can't help but remind us of the spirit jellyfish that appear in the main game.'
◆03: Veiled sacred tree
At first glance, this great tree appears to be the golden tree that towers over the 'land between' that is the setting of Elden Ring, but Kotaku points out that it is very similar to the sacred tree that Michaela created as a place of refuge from the golden tree and its beliefs. To do.
Unlike the 'Sacred Tree of Michela', which was also the map of the main story, it looks like a sacred tree from a parallel world because it is covered with a veil, but there is sap dripping like blood, indicating that something untoward has happened. It makes me think of that.
◆04: Young Renara?
This character, who appears briefly in the DLC, is very similar to the boss 'Renara, Queen of the Full Moon' who appears in the main story. Before the main story, Renara led the Magic Academy Realaria and the Knights of Shining Stone, but she married a hero named Radagon whom she met on the battlefield and had three children with her.
However, after that, the hero Radagon leaves Renara to become Queen Marika's second husband, and as a result, Renara becomes mentally unstable. Kotaku speculates that this character in the trailer may be Queen Renara before she loses her mind.
◆05: Poison Swamp Again
Fans of From Software's work are well-known for Miyazaki's love of poisonous swamps. Mr. Miyazaki responded to the question from game media
'In short, yes. But the poisonous swamp is also something I reflected on after making the main game. It wasn't until I started making this game that I realized that I really like making poisonous swamps. It was also a moment of introspection and reflection for me, so players may be able to get a glimpse of that retrospective when they reach the Poisonous Swamp DLC.''
It's unclear whether this scene in the trailer is the poisonous swamp that Miyazaki was referring to, but Kotaku complained that it's already starting to make people hate this place.
◆06: Mysterious important figures
From the scene where this picture appears in the trailer, it seems that these two people are ``those who support the Golden Tree'', that is, demigots or supporters of Marika.
Kotaku noted that there is a map in the main game called Volcano Hall that has several portraits like this, so it's possible you'll encounter or even fight these characters there.
◆07: Farm Azura of the past?
In the main game, there is a map called 'Collapsing Farm Azura' that looks like a floating city, but as the name suggests, it is a ruin that is collapsing.
The crumbling Farm Azura is a place ruled by the boss ``Dragon King Placidosax'', who was once the king of Elde. Therefore, if this map is Farm Azura before its collapse, which was still in the Land of Interstice, we may be able to touch on the legend of the Dragon King, which was not talked about much in the story.
◆08: Burning boss
In the aforementioned interview with IGN, Miyazaki said that this basket full of burnt corpses was a weapon that was used long ago in the DLC's 'Land of Shadows.' Also, since there is a scene in the trailer where he is fighting the player, it is expected that he will appear as a boss.
◆09: Even more terrifying
In the main game, a creepy enemy character called Earthworm Face, whose head literally had countless earthworms growing out of it, appeared, causing many players to suffer. The trailer also features a new creature that swallows players head first, similar to this earthworm face.
'Every time I see From Software's new cursed creature, I genuinely think that everyone involved in this game is, or should be, in the care of a therapist.' 'Queen Marika In the name of ``What the hell is this guy? Why is this guy's neck so long? Why is he sucking people like candy? I hate him already,'' commented Kotaku.
◆10: An abomination or an old lion?
In the main game, there is a lion-like enemy character called 'Old Lion' with weapons attached to his legs. The feet of the lion dance-like boss resemble humans. In addition, horns similar to the enemy character called 'Akiko' grow out of its body.
If this enemy character, who is thought to be the boss, is an abomination, it would be in the same category as Moog, who stole Michela, and Morgot, another abomination that appears as a boss.
◆11: Hand-to-hand combat
The DLC trailer featured some new weapons, magic, and what appears to be combat techniques, but the most eye-catching scene is a character wearing armor that looks like something out of Bloodborne and performing a jumping kick.
There is a possibility that a new build suitable for melee combat will appear, but Kotaku has a fog that is unique to boss areas on the back gate, and in such areas the player can summon 'battle ash', which is an ally of the player. There is also the possibility of new war ashes.
◆12: A scene I saw somewhere
There's a scene in the trailer where a skeleton-like figure pulls a sword out of its eye, and Kotaku pointed out that this skeleton's silhouette resembles the Elden Ring logo.
The logo posted on Elden Ring's official website is as follows.
13: Mesmer, the Impaler
According to Mr. Miyazaki to IGN, the new character 'Mesmer, the Impaler' who appeared in the trailer is a big wall that stands in the player's way, and is also an important character in the story.
Mesmer is seated on a throne-like chair, and Miyazaki says that in the main game, this chair is ``the chair where the so-called great rune-bearing kings such as Morgot and Marenia and the children of Marika sat.'' I am. This point is also supported by Mesmer saying 'mother' in the trailer.
14: New abilities
As mentioned above, the trailer features multiple armors and weapons that were not in the main story, including a new rapid-fire crossbow, a giant throwing bomb, and the enemy character ``Knight of the Crucible.'' There was something that looked like a prayer or a military technique.
Once the DLC is released, it is expected that players will be able to make full use of these new ways to fight.
◆15: Michela creating the sacred tree
The person with flaxen hair that appears in the trailer is clearly Michela, and there is also a cut of the sacred tree right after that, so Kotaku says that this scene is probably the scene where Michela is making the sacred tree.
'ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE' will be released on Friday, June 21, 2024, and the price is 4400 yen including tax for the DLC alone, and 9020 yen including tax for the main game and DLC set.
