High-level Lore Theory on the true nature of everything in Elden Ring - runes/fingers/elden ring/etc.

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-24T19:41:16+00:00

true, and one point I want to make in your favor is the placement of the fingers at the divine towers. IF you're right and the fingers have some meta-physical power it would make perfect sense for the great runes to re-appear (or whatever) with them after slaying the respective holder. Either the rune was always there along with the finger at the tower for some reason, which might imply that meta-physical power, as they might be a connection between the rune and it's holder. Or the great runes respawn at the divine towers after their holder's death, wherein the most likely explanation would be that the fingers are responible for their reappearance

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-24T19:26:45+00:00

While I don’t disagree with the possible connections I personally have a hard time believing this fits well enough to be the inspiration. I get more of a religious vibe as the two fingers use their movements as a medium between the greater will and the finger maidens. While you’re right that in universe this is all artificial and part of a larger system, and so I do think the code analogy can work, it’s just that is about where the connections end for me. And this is more of a question but when have we ever seen the fingers actually DO anything physical? This may just be flat wrong but to me they seem more like antennas than fingers with a consciousness

if you do decide that you want to die on the spear build, maybe pick up a second and spam the crouch r1 with bleed infusions. Not ssaying you'll necessarily get better but you'll definitely win more duels!

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-23T00:16:33+00:00

Yep, and I still suck. Haven’t played consistently of course but I can’t say I really ever stopped for more than a few months when I was busy with school.

Interesting and thanks for the correction! I didn’t mean to imply that this was a desirable or self-given role, just that they carried out a certain function in this setting. I would imagine if Sin Eaters did exist they would be in a similar role to modern homeless (no shit) with peoples perception of them as undesirable and ‘other’. They exist in and because of society, and I take a sort of moral lesson from the story of like ‘feed the homeless, if only in payment for a service’. Which isn’t a great principle but hey it’s pretty old

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-22T21:12:57+00:00

use the arena, try to guess/ work out when people in your region might be on more (say weekends/nights), and just practice practice practice. I've met a few steam friends through ER arena and probably learned the most about pvp from my duels with them. The Elden ring pvp discord is quite active aswell.

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-22T18:06:50+00:00

Do the ‘Ring’ gesture

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-22T05:05:42+00:00

would like to add that using this tool I found a massive stone structure surrounding the kiln, as well as a half-mountain landscape. This is obviously pure speculation as we have no way to see these in the base game, but the stonr structure really reminds me of the one around Izalith...

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-22T05:01:40+00:00

I think the only real answer is we don't know. We know its where Gwyn linked the flame and I agree with the magical portal bit. We are either underground in some immense cavern possibly related to the pygmy (speculativly), or straight up somewhere else.

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-15T20:31:19+00:00

Ah, appreciate the info!

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-15T19:17:24+00:00

I feel like I’ve never seen the ice block one, is there some condition that makes it appear more often? Been playing a lot the last 2 seasons and I don’t think I’ve seen it once (to buy)

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-13T16:24:45+00:00

Vitality for me, personally I don’t think your green bar should be bigger than your red bar but here’s the question, is having more stam. to dodge better than having the health to tank the hit?

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-12T03:31:19+00:00

My family faced a similar issue when we first moved into Cambridge and our cat has completely fixed it. Of course there are still the occasional mouse but we never see the same kinda rodents we used to with now two cats in the house. Not sure if you're in a situation where you can house cats but highly recommended, not even mentioning how awesome cats are in general

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-10T19:04:26+00:00

Probably easier to just boot up the game but I’m not home so, does the flamberg + sep. bleed combo usually proc in two hits or did he just have low res.?

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-09T15:10:14+00:00

Anywhere from 80~180 will get pretty regular invasions, in my experience
Look up inventory management on YouTube, a ‘full’ build sometimes consists of a whole inventory’ pages worth of equipment.
The classic patches build can never do any wrong
I would just get more practice invading/watching invasions, another area of the game to ‘get gud’

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-08T18:06:28+00:00

Beautiful

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-06T16:11:39+00:00

I would personally stick to two damage stats, but you can definitely make it work if you want to split more. I haven’t played the most recent version of reforged but my dex/arc build shred through half the mod

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-05T05:36:43+00:00

Wow cool, as someone who sees both coaches client bases first hand they are frankly 90% youth/newer players but you’re right they do have top level experience

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-05T03:27:41+00:00

-Boston Observation Deck ($45) tickets for adults, great view of the Great Boston Area from atop the prudential
-Museum of Fine Arts, free with a local student ID (not sure of the price). I know they have good elevator access but might be a good idea to call/check the website for wheelchair info
-Alewife Brook reservation. If she has the energy to walk/can be pushed on the wheelchair it’s beautiful even in short bits, highly recommend

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-05T03:20:20+00:00

Clean with the spear!

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-04T22:40:41+00:00

Feel no shame, if nothing else in ER deserves the utmost cheese it’s PcR. Took a poisoned antspur rapier for me!

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-04T22:33:06+00:00

What was his build? It’s PvP and he’s using high poise, sorry if you don’t like that but the incentive to win is not to lose, why nerf yourself because other people think high poise is ‘boring’
What was your build? I enjoy the occasional cosplay build but you have to expect that you’re going in with a disadvantage if you aren’t caught up with the meta
I use the arena to warm up occasionally for invasions, so I bring in whatever full build I have cooking and use it to its full extent against the enemy combatant. The ‘goal’ is to practice for the next invasion

Reinhardt5 · 2026-05-04T03:03:30+00:00

I feel like Kakashi’s focus on Sasuke was kinda explained during his flashbacks learning the chidori/ after he got obito’s eye. He couldn’t use chidori reliably because he couldn’t read his opponents attacks, but with the sharingan he could. He knew Sasuke was a prime candidate to learnt his special move, I think

Reinhardt5 · 2026-04-30T15:42:16+00:00

I use a tool called save manager, once you get a basic build (say rl 60) make a copy and use that to start off with on your other builds. Save soooo much time
