As FromSoftware’s newest dark fantasy RPG, and as the current culmination of the Soulslike sub-genre created by the studio to date, **Elden Ring ** contains several different examples of cut content. Some pieces of cut content in Elden Ring ’s game files are minor assets such as clothing, consumable items, and non-player characters of varying friendliness. There are also a surprising number of quest-lines cut from Elden Ring before its main release. Finally, there are extant enemies and armor sets in Elden Ring that are fully-realized versions of cut content from older games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls


This medieval armor model - likely meant to form the basis of an enemy or outfit player could wear - was probably cut because it clashed with the flintlock and tricorne hat art direction of monster-filled Bloodborne proper. The general look and cloth tassels of this armor set, however, seems to have greatly influenced the armor set of Elden Ring’ s Cleanrot Knights, Scarlet Rot-afflicted enemies who wield sacred weapons and once served the demigods Miquella and Malenia. The elaborate dragon crest atop the helms of Stormveil Castle’s Banished Knights also seems to have been inspired by the crest of the Bloodborne Knight out

Since this attack doesn’t track you at all, the Lion Guardian will attack in the direction which it was initially facing when beginning the attack. Due to the long reset after the attack completes, you have a massive window during which to att


One might assume FromSoftware’s habit of recycling assets and cutting near-complete content is a sign of laziness on the part of developers, but such an assumption couldn’t be farther from the truth. By reusing assets from an older game in a new game with similar themes ( Dark Souls to Elden Ring , in this case), developers at FromSoftware pragmatically chose not to recreate established assets from scratch, freeing their development team to work on new, innovative game concepts. Similarly, FromSoftware designers save promising pieces of cut content, eventually giving them new life in games with compatible premises and technical parameters. This "don’t reinvent the wheel" logic can be very clearly seen in the following pieces of Elden Ring content - content once cut from earlier Soulslikes and cut content in Elden Ring ’s game files that might return in DLCs or future R
