SUMMARY
  • Elden Ring is Hidetaka Miyazaki's most notable work, which remains equally popular after two years of release.
  • Elden Ring has loads of important bosses to fight, but a few of them are not explained in the lore.
  • As the matter got highlighted, players came up with creative yet convincing answers.

Elden Ring is one of the defining works of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s career. Though the 49-year-old Japanese game designer is famous for his creativity, nothing impressed fans more than Elden Ring, which arguably takes RPGs to a different dimension. Even after two years, this game has equal popularity in the gaming world.

While everything is almost perfect in Elden Ring, with a well-knitted story and powerful boss fights, there seem to be some gaps in the lore that haven’t been properly explained. Initially, players didn’t notice it, or probably they didn’t find it serious. But on Reddit, someone recently highlighted it and asked for an answer. 

Elden Ring Forgets Something, and Players Want an Answer From Miyazaki After Two Years

Hidetaka Miyazaki didn’t explain some of the demi-gods featured in Elden Ring, which can be considered a gap remaining in the storyline. 

Elden Ring’s open world is massive, with numerous things to explore. It is really hard to connect everything in sequence, but FromSoftware did it well. Elden Ring players must remember fighting several demi-gods throughout the game, with some of these enemies giving them a tough time. 

Even the Walking Mausoleums have demi-gods to fight before exploring the buildings. While the story of the game mostly explains all the backstories of the major enemies, including their origin, demi-gods inside Mausoleums never get mentioned anywhere. They don’t have their own stories either. 

SUGGESTED: Elden Ring Patch Could Have Changed the Lore as We Know It

However, over the years, none really noticed this fact, but recently, on the Elden Ring subreddit, a user questioned it. He mentioned,

Like, were they that unimportant? And who were they the children of? Like come on, we are only ever told about the others, but they’re forgotten.”

Well, the claim is indeed true. These demi-gods are totally ignored, and players never get to know about their origin.

Elden Ring Players Come up With Creative Yet Convincing Reasons Behind Ignoring the Demi-Gods

Elden Ring’s Mausoleum demi-gods seem to be less important to get mentioned in the lore, as players have assumed.

Elden Ring has multiple demi-gods, and some of them are kind of compulsory to beat to unlock a specific progress path. However, the lore mentions almost each of these enemies, even if some of them are optional to fight. But there are numerous nameless enemies as well. The Mausoleum demi-gods are among them.

Now that the question has been raised, some players have come up with satisfactory answers. To answer it, some players bring the reference to Godrick and mention that, despite being Marika’s descendant, he was a demi-god. So, there’s a huge line of demi-gods, and not all are important enough to be mentioned.

On the same note, another player stated that the game has plenty of unimportant demi-gods who lose attention in front of the Shardbearers.

Among all these, someone came up with a convincing and thoughtful answer and stated that when Marika gave the option to choose “Get good or get rekt,” they went for rekt, and therefore, they remain nameless demi-gods who are not mentioned in the lore.

Well, these are all what players have assumed according to their understanding of the game.

The reason can be similar or something very different. But unless FromSoftware states something, nothing is official.

Being a die-hard Elden Ring fan, one shouldn’t miss what Hidetaka Miyazaki stated about the game. He mentioned it as the turning point for FromSoftware.
