Elden Ring contains story and lore as dense as its gameplay. Here’s a beginner’s guide (for the first dozen hours or so) to the setting of the Lands Between, what exactly a Tarnished is, and why all those jerks keep calling you maidenless after the Shattering of the Elden Ring.
Between Godrick the Golden, the Golden Order, the Greater Will, and sites of grace, there are a lot of terms, characters, and ideas in Elden Ring that can be difficult to keep straight in your head. Melina, Marika, Godfrey and Godwyn all have their parts to play, so we’re here to help. Keep in mind this isn’t exhaustive, but kind of a table setting for the world of Elden Ring, so there’s plenty more to discover for yourself! But here’s a bit of the story and lore explained for Elden Ring.

First
Way to short Video for this explanation.
Easily one of the best video game stories of all time 👌
Dark Souls 3 copycat
fourth
It's the name of the game that what
Kappa
I'll wait for Vaati, thank you very much.
this video game story is just 🔥
Soooooooo…..what is the elden ring?
only souls game with a coherent story was bloodborne.
Trying to wade into Vaati's house eh? Bold move IGN, bold move.
5:30 safe zone you say🤔 meanwhile iv been in 2 invaded npc battles there lol
Doesn't address that Radagon is Marika?
Ok how bout what’s with the dragons how’d they get wrapped up in this or the bosses near the giant trees
Clearly it's the one ring to rule them all lol
The lore in this game is superlatively impeccable dude. Definitely the most multi-layered and coherent world FROM has created thus far. I’m so obsessed with all of the characters too.
Cute video but I’ll stick the real deal: vaatividya
Dungeater doesnt strike me as a party animal. He's pretty messed up from what ive seen.
Why does Sites of Grace look like Humanity tho?
Imagine coming to IGN for an explanation of lore regarding a FromSoftware game.
Considering that the two fingers are literally fingers a don't want to see the dung eater in his lunch time
This video is not entirely accurate on a lot of stuff. For people that want actual lore there is already some decent video's out there or wait for Vaati. In Dark Souls there was more of an interpretation but Elden Ring has a lot more concrete stuff that is just flat out wrong in this video.
His title is The LOATHESOME Dung Eater, and you will kindly address him as such!
VaatiVidya after watching this: "That's cute"
I'm still in a dream… Dung Eater
IGN crash and burning on trying to explain cryptic lore. Talking too fast and jumping from point to point. Leave it to Vaati.
The Elden Ring was Golden set of rules that governed the Universe that physically manifested itself through a Giant Tree. It shattered when a certain someone stole the manifestation of how Death works.
Slight spoilers after this, scroll down for Who.
After defeating Godric you learn that it was The Ice Witch Ranni who stole Death thus shattering the Ring
IGN: "Story for the first dozen hours or so"
Me: 14 hours in and still haven't beat Margit yet 😂
A lot of this is straight up wrong, way to try to cash in…
It literally says it was marika who shattered the ring
I’d leave these types of videos for vaati
❤❤❤
Thanks for the spoilers.
me waiting for vaati be like…
Best lore in any video game!
Ranni caused the night of the black knives 😉
Actually major spoilers below**
Marika actually shattered the elden ring after Godwyn’s death at the hands of the Black Knifes, a group of female assassins from Numen.
Yah, no clue what the hell is going on in this game
this was a perfect idea for a video. not spoliery at all for where im at in the game but a nice recap and tying together of things! thanks!
