Player's Epic Recreation of Gollum in Elden Ring

A talented player of Elden Ring has impressively fashioned Gollum from Lord of the Rings using the game’s character creation system. Although The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was not a success, players can still enjoy the iconic character in the immensely popular Elden Ring if they are resourceful enough.

Since its debut in 2022, Elden Ring has become one of FromSoftware’s biggest hits, selling over 20 million copies to date. The game’s vast open world invites players to explore for countless hours, and while it can be a challenging experience, its allure extends far beyond its size and difficulty. Elden Ring also provides an outlet for players to express themselves through the game’s character creation engine. Though not everyone may devote significant time to it before beginning their journey, the system is robust and allows for the creation of stunning characters with enough patience and skill.

A gamer has gone above and beyond by recreating Gollum from The Lord of the Rings in Elden Ring. SoulfearicAcid shared their impressive creation on Reddit, showcasing their ability to accurately replicate the famous character using the extensive settings of the Elden Ring character creation system. This is not the first time SoulfearicAcid has created exceptional characters using Elden Ring, having previously crafted remarkable versions of Professor Garlick from Hogwarts Legacy and even the protagonist of Doom.

Users in the comments section of the post drew comparisons between SoulfearicAcid's creation and the character Gollum from The Lord of the Rings: Gollum game, which received heavy criticism upon its release. One user even went so far as to claim that SoulfearicAcid's version of Gollum looked better than the one featured in the official game. It's impressive that someone was able to use the character creation system to create something as high-quality as an entire studio's work.

Recreating well-known characters in Elden Ring is a popular pastime among the gaming community. A gamer had previously recreated Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones with striking resemblance to actor Peter Dinklage, even including some of the character's scars. While it's difficult to perfectly replicate a human face, the similarity was impressive. It will be exciting to see what other creative works gamers come up with in the coming weeks.

Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
