Elden Ring lore and story explained
Want to brush up on your Elden Ring lore? It’s certainly a good time to revisit the story, with the colossal Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC mere days away. Over the past two years, Elden Ring has become just about my favourite game of all time, and a large part of that came from diving deep into the mythos and story of Elden Ring and learning just how much I missed on my first couple of playthroughs.
Elden Ring’s mythos was constructed as a joint project between FromSoft head Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin, which should give you an idea of just how deep and deranged the story gets. But we’re going to break it all down into easily absorbed chunks of lore in this, our ultimate Elden Ring lore guide.
Below, we’ll take you from the prehistoric times before the Erdtree and the Golden Order, back when there was nothing except Dragons, Giants, and otherworldly Outer Gods. And from there, we’ll explain Marika’s rise and conquest of the Lands Between, the various demigods that rose during this time, the fateful Night Of Black Knives and the Shattering; and finally the player character’s journey through the world of Elden Ring, and what it all means.
