Special thanks to @mispap1 for their capture and editing work!

These guys were locked up for having too much drip

I hope you keep on posting lore shorts, they're totally the best way to expose short bits of lore that wouldn't make for a full video.

[Isaac-fcit]

Basically fancy way of saying we were once a boss fight

[melonmatv]

damn that shot of the shield transitioning to the shot of the hound knight over that puddle was dope

[DaeZey]

People are pointing out the Griffith refrence, the helmet bit also follows back to more traditional designs for the Man in the Iron mask, which Griffith is also a reference too.

It was very nice of the Sorcerers to herd these prisoners into the Evergaols fully equipped so they could immediately beat the sneaks off anybody that wanders into their prison.

You should make one of these for every starting class, I’ve been trying to convince my brother to play this game since it came out and he’s finally doing it. He’s having trouble deciding between the starting classes though, and I think this would help him.

It should be noted the prisoner specifically starts with Carian sorcery and an estoc, a weapon commonly associated with the nobility.

>start as prisoner
>do frenzied flame ending
>Melina finally catches you
>puts you in evergaol
would be a hilarious full circle

[DINFERI]

You're playing as Griffith if he never got the Behelit back

[--Cat--]

One thing I especially love about From Software's games, is that they *are* role playing games.

If you play a prisoner as an example, it's fun to imagine what crime they committed, and who and why someone broke them out of their prison.

Really reminds me of Griffith from Berserk

[nauziraf]

Nah, hes from the best ending of the eclipse where Griffith saves everyone before slipping into a dimensional portal

[zenebean]

I have actually wondered what the eye-like design was, makes so much sense that it's those evergaol rifts!

[invades]

Elden ring might be one of the most lore focused games that’s been made. And every time you post it gets more and more understandable

[SoKtimp]

That's actually amazing. It's interesting how some games' gotta be studied thoroughly to discover their deep lore

[annguerrero]

I love these little elden ring lore shorts <3 keep up the great job

[illbeback]

He is a reference to the one of the greatest betrayers in Mangahistory.

[IndorilTheGreat]

I'm really digging these class lore shorts. Can't wait to see the next one!

[akifaiman]

That shield reminds me of that pivotal plot point in berserk
