Unveiling the Terrifying Erdtree Glitch that Amplifies Elden Ring's Horror
Discover a spine-chilling glitch in Elden Ring that transforms the already terrifying game world into a truly nightmarish experience Brace yourself as the landscape takes an eerie turn, intensifying the horror lurking within this highly anticipated title
A recent discovery made by a player of Elden Ring has revealed a disturbing transformation of the typically serene Erdtree. Known for its beautiful landscapes and terrifying creatures, Elden Ring's latest glitch only adds to the game's eerie atmosphere. The Erdtree, a captivating source of light and wonder in The Lands Between, has been depicted in a player's game as a haunting and malevolent entity, diverging from the experiences of others who have played the game.
The Erdtree glitch, discovered and shared by HyperXuserXD on the Elden Ring subreddit, showcases the centerpiece of The Lands Between in a mesmerizing display of swirling fire and black smoke. In a close-up image, the branches of the glitched Erdtree are pitch black, accentuated by vibrant stripes of red or orange. Interestingly, some commenters have drawn comparisons to FromSoftware's acclaimed Bloodborne, noting that this version of the Erdtree bears resemblance to the dark and atmospheric aesthetic of the game.
While it is clear that this unique Erdtree is a result of a glitch, those familiar with Elden Ring's challenging endings may find it oddly familiar. Among the game's complex and enigmatic endings, the Frenzied Flame ending stands out as one of the most difficult to achieve. To unlock this ending, players must successfully navigate the Cathedral of the Forsaken, confront the Three Fingers, and attain the Flame of Frenzy. Only then will they be granted the choice to set the Erdtree ablaze, engulfing the entire world in flames.
The appearance of the Erdtree in Elden Ring's upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC remains a mystery. Limited information is available about this new content, with only the name and a single teaser image shared by FromSoftware. If this DLC takes place after the main story, it will need to incorporate the player's chosen ending, which may pose a challenge if the player opted for the ending where The Lands Between are set ablaze. Notably, the Erdtree appears notably darker in this glitch, hinting at potential ominous events in the upcoming DLC.
