![]() The Golden Order is happy to have you murder them, or even Rennala, were it not for Ranni’s interference. ![]() Elden Ring pushes you towards Stormveil Castle and Godrick, while Caelid’s Sites of Grace practically drag you towards Redmane Castle and Radahn. Where Grace guides you is just as important as where it doesn’t. A tutorial item tells you to follow the Grace, and considering Grace is what keeps you alive, it must surely be the right path. Once you emerge from underground, you’re confronted with a vast world and no idea of where to go. This is where FromSoft uses its characteristically hands-off storytelling to brilliant effect. For now, though, you’re dropped into a sinister church and inevitably die – an inauspicious start to what should be your grand journey. ![]() ![]() You only realize later how much is wrong with this setup, and how deliberately misleading it is. That’s the cue for the Tarnished to head back home and restore order. The scene opens on a grim picture: Queen Marika the Eternal is missing, we’re told, presumably the result of some unknown third party busting the Elden Ring and plunging the world into civil war. Not just once, but for the entire game, turning you into an unwitting champion for a cycle of abuse and oppression.
