Summary
AnElden Ringfan has leaned into the fall season by recreating the game’s logo out of fallen leaves, and the Soulslike community quickly responded with praise, memes, and comical quotes. The anchor-like symbol represents a key concept inElden Ringlore, and its interconnecting rings and runes would be a geometrical challenge for any artist, with one fan casually making a masterpiece while gardening.
FromSoftware’s 2022 action RPGElden Ringwas an instant hit that boasted painstaking enemy encounters, rich lore, and immersive exploration of the Lands Between, polished with a dark fantasy aesthetic. The game’sShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion delivered a fresh wave of challenging bosses, demanding the utmost strength and stamina from Soulslike newcomers and veterans alike.
Posted by Azurios7, a photo of theElden Ringlogo constructed with leaves was shared on the game’s subreddit, with the user noting that it was created while raking. Additionally, the user admitted the design would have been more detailed if they hadn’t run out of leaves, and the color of the fallen foliage reminded them of the Erdtree’s golden hue. Similarly, anotherElden Ringfan recently recreated the logo out of rebar, but the Redditor’s reconstruction using leaves was a seasonal effort appreciated by fall lovers, and the community wasted no time unleashing their best quotes from the game.
Elden Ring Fan Creates Complex Logo Out of Leaves
A popular reply throughout the subreddit read “The fallen leaves tell a story,” the first line fromElden Ring’s opening cutscene. One Redditor was amazed that a rogue gust of wind didn’t sweep along to ruin the design, and another user captioned “Meanwhile Marika…” beside an animated GIF of someone using a leaf blower, which would align withQueen Marika’s most evil acts inElden Ring. Furthermore, the community was concerned about how easily the Elden Ring could be destroyed if made out of leaves, which would condemn the world to ruin.
In the game’s lore, the Elden Ring is known to be the source of the Erdtree, the gigantic, golden tree that towers over the Lands Between. The linking runes featured in the design symbolize the law of the world, and a recent version of this law isElden Ring’s Golden Order, established by Queen Marika the Eternal. Shards of the Elden Ring exist in the form of Great Runes inherited by Marika’s demigod offspring, and it’s the Tarnished’s job, encouraged by the Two Fingers, to locate them to become the next Elden Lord.
