Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's Unclad NPCs Unveiled

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC features frightening NPCs, but a dataminer has demystified their intimidating appearances by revealing their unarmored character models. While some models are simple, others exhibit intriguing details consistent with their in-game lore.

Elden Ring's intricate lore, a key element alongside its challenging gameplay, often unfolds through subtle in-game hints. Dataminers play a crucial role in uncovering the complete narrative. A recent example is the unveiling of the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss's unarmored form. Building on this, a new video by YouTuber and dataminer Zullie the Witch exposes further details about several Shadow of the Erdtree NPCs.

This video showcases the NPCs without their armor, highlighting FromSoftware's meticulous character design, even in unseen details. Fans have reacted positively to the revealed appearances, with Moore's model particularly praised for matching player expectations.

Elden Ring Community Amazed by Detailed NPC Models

Redmane Freyja's model notably displays scarring consistent with Scarlet Rot, a detail aligning perfectly with her backstory. This level of attention to detail is impressive, given its invisibility during normal gameplay. Additionally, players have observed similarities between Tanith from Volcano Manor and the Dancer of Ranah, a fitting resemblance considering Tanith's past.

However, some aspects are unexpected. Hornsent, for example, lacks horns in the model, likely due to the need for a completely unique character model. Fans have suggested that the DLC should have included horn customization options to complement the new hairstyles.
