Elden Ring - These golems have facial expressions

Oh that's fucking unsettling what the hell

[PierceArner]

It's _extra_ creepy that their expressions make them seem like they're trapped in a state of half-consciousness, and especially with how the Giant's Head tanks in the base game will actively watch you, the Furnace Golem's lack of eyes is downright terrifying.

[LawfulBased]

_" Giantdad... so you were at our side all along. Our guiding legend. "_

[jdm]

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING MAD AFTER SO MANY ATTEMPT'S TO KILL THEM, I always notice the mouth open the moment i was about to do the critical strike, now i can be in peace...

[VictorIV]

The furnace golems might’ve also been designed to be Marika and Messmer’s “jars” for the Hornsent: A massive, animated entity powered by living beings stuffed inside it to keep it active.

[itsBASILLICUS]

extremely unsettling. i love that they bother to do this sort of thing when almost no one would ever actually notice this while actually playing the game.

[JoseViktor]

Lorewise, these things are made to be sort of like a wicked version of what should resemble the fire giants. They even have mask resembling them over their body. So, regardless of when Messmer destruction happened, before of after the fire giant extintion, these things were explicity made to have sort of a sadistic irony for the Hornsent of seeing the wickerman resembling a way worse version of something they feared, knowing they also had their kind burnt inside them.

0:39 me at 10 AM after pulling an all nighter

[nachalnik]

The less you know, the better you sleep. And it seems I'm definitely not going to fall sleep this night...

[mischalecterTV]

The item titled furnace visage, which is a crafting item, states:

"A smaller imitation of the furnace column's visage. A stone mask surrounded by curled horns, depicting the fell god of fire that haunts the sagas of the hornsent."

[alextrill]

"Lord Messmer, we finished the Furnace Golem prototype."
"Hmm, something's missing... hey can, you make that face crest change expressions?"
"What? But why?"
"Just do it!"

[puncherofbread]

The Furnace Golems looking like The Fell God/Fire Giants as a way to prevoke the Hornsent is just further proof that the real message of Elden Ring is "Everyone hates gingers"

[Hurtdeer]

well i knew they were alive, but i didnt know they were *that* alive

[roe__jogan]

It’s the thousands of small details like this that subconsciously add up to make their games a spiritual or significant experience. True genius.

[BaldorfBreakdowns]

Looks like he just wants to get some sleep.

[samm]

they look like they’re dreaming. their minds are asleep while their bodies move around on autopilot, with preplanned attacks that are so reliably powerful they don’t even bother to wake up, and in so deep that they don’t even register an enemy hit unless it’s fatal and then they’re suddenly awake but dying

[Sethar]

Oh that's terrifying, that makes these things SO much worse

[thegoldenorder]

They are souls of great warriors ripped from the edtree and flesh manifested in a burning petrified state. They are always burning and always in pain.

[rhymenoceros]

I knew there was something up with their faces. I swore they would grimace whenever you get the critical on them but was never sure since you can't get a really good look at their heads while they're standing.

[yesmansam]

Messmer's flame is the flame of life and animation, it seems.
