Elden Ring’s Leyndell regarded unusually totally different earlier than the day one patch

FromSoftware has quietly modified the sport’s maps (a number of instances), and made quite a few different tweaks that not often get talked about in patch notes.

And, it seems, one of many sport’s most recongisable areas was being up to date proper up till the final minute.

Leyndell, the Royal Capital is an enormous, advanced legacy dungeon, which gamers arrive at pretty late into the sport. In Elden Ring’s 1.0 model – the one which shipped on disc – Leyndell is a bit of totally different from the one gamers have been visiting for the reason that days of launch.

By taking part in the unpatched, day one version of Elden Ring, YouTuber Sekiro Dubi made quite a few curious findings, most of them with lore implications slightly than outright gameplay ones.

The most noticeable distinction is that the previous model of Leyndell seems to happen earlier within the sport’s timeline, at a degree when the Erdtree-following, Golden Order-loyals had not but retaken management of the town. In the present Leyndell, the streets and halls are nearly completely guarded by Leyndell Knights and troopers, however that hasn’t at all times been the case.

As you’ll be able to see within the video above, the capital was nonetheless below the invasion of Crucible Knights, Banished Knights and different forces, with its garrison nowhere to be seen. You may even see just a few praying to the fallen dragon Gransax, whose husk adorns the cityscape. Gransax, after all, kicked off the warfare in opposition to the dragons when it attacked the capital.

When arriving into Leyndell within the present model, one of the distinctive sights your eyes will catch is the congregation of Oracle Envoys tooting their pipes and spinning within the Erdtree’s gentle. The model of the capital that shipped, nonetheless, reveals a time earlier than their arrival. The Oracle Envoys are mentioned to look to herald the start of a brand new age, which might make sense given the timeline of occasions.

Apart from a sub-area title change and the removing of a sure armour set, Leyndell’s boss had a barely totally different title. Morgott, the Omen King is as an alternative named Prince of the Omen.

Many issues, after all, stay unchanged, equivalent to the town’s format. You’ll additionally be aware that a few of Leyndell’s invaders have not been fully eradicated by the point we arrive, such because the few scattered Crucible Knights you will run into.
