Elden Ring dataminer Sekiro Dubi has dug additional into these huge, inaccessible arenas dotted all through the Lands Between first highlighted by fellow Souls hacker Lance McDonald. Sekiro Dubi restored a Web site of Grace and a few enemies slated for the areas, shedding extra mild on their supposed use.
In Lance’s authentic video, he handed by way of the locked entrance of the Limgrave enviornment with a free cam software to have a look inside, revealing intensive seating, a sand pit for fight, and opposing elevators main into the coliseum’s underbelly.
Sekiro Dubi dug into recordsdata associated to the “Leyndell Colosseum,” reimplementing its inside for regular gameplay alongside an unused Web site of Grace. The entryway to the coliseum is lit by torches, and options an altar with some type of fossil-like rock formation on high.
Sekiro Dubi additionally confirmed the sector correct, the place a Lion Guardian (a type of knife lions from Redmane or Fortress Sol) does battle with a Grave Warden, a gladiator-like enemy discovered exterior the Leyndell enviornment and as a boss in numerous catacombs all through the world.
It is nonetheless unclear what objective these arenas had been meant to serve. A lot of the hypothesis has centered on their potential as PvP arenas much like those from Darkish Souls: Artorias of the Abyss or Darkish Souls 3’s Ashes of Ariandel. Provided that they featured NPC opponents sooner or later, I might additionally see them getting used for a boss rush mode just like the one from Sekiro.
Sekiro Dubi factors out that the Ritual Defend Talisman’s merchandise description makes word of enviornment fight occurring within the setting’s previous, doubtlessly indicating that these arenas might function in a time journey sequence just like the Artorias of the Abyss or Ringed Metropolis DLCs.
Hopefully we can’t have to attend too lengthy to see whether or not or not the arenas issue into FromSoft’s future plans for Elden Ring.
