Summary
AnElden Ringplayer has come across an interesting detail in the Mountaintop of the Giants part of theElden Ringmap that has left the community amazed. The fact that the player discovered it after so many hours in the game speaks volumes about how easy it is to miss this smallElden Ringsecret.
FromSoftware games are well known for their Easter eggs and hidden secrets, andElden Ringis no exception. It’s been a couple of years sinceElden Ringwas launched, and players still keep coming across new stuff every now and then. For instance, recently anElden Ringplayer discovered a hidden boss after 1,000 hoursin the game. The boss in question is theFallingstar Beast (Altus Plateau)that can be found in the Altus Plateau region ofElden Ring. While this newly discovered detail isn’t as major as a boss, it is an intricacy that some believe serves a much larger purpose.
In a new post on theElden Ringsubreddit, user menjagorkarinte highlights howElden Ring’s map is much more detailed than initially thought. In the picture, it can be seen that there are illustrations of tine giants scattered all across the map in theMountaintop of the Giants region inElden Ring. There are over ten giants that can be seen, and the community is quite surprised they had missed this detail all this while.
Elden Ring Fans Believe Hidden Map Detail Is Related To Messmer The Impaler
While many might believe that this was just a neat detail to symbolize the name of the region, fans have spotted another interesting thing about the illustration. If players look closely, the Giants can be seen kneeling forward in a pretty weird way. Many believe that they might have been impaled, leading to theoriesElden Ring Shadow of Erdtree DLC’sMessmer the Impalercould be behind it.
However, it is crucial to note that it is not clear if this was present in the game since launch or if the map was updated at a later time.Elden Ring’s map has been altered through updates on a few occasions, so it is very much possible that this small touch was introduced much later. While the Giants might look quite tiny on the map, fans have emphasized that, in reality, they are so big that the player is only comparable to the size of their toe. Whether it is a teaser for Messmer, an immersive intricacy, or theElden Ringsecret, which Miyazaki had previously hinted about, is unclear.
