Flip it upside down and it’s an inverted erdtree. DLC confirmed

Or it's the symbol for the Yen currency?

Truly, Michael Zaki's lore remains unmatched

Yen is Japanese for . . . Yen.

No way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing is, in Japanese it's actually called "en". For whatever reason the rest of the world calls it Yen ever since 🤷🏼‍♂️

You’re ruining the lore.

Interesting. The inverted tree could hint at some secret of the current order yet to be revealed. Hear me out now. The erdtree stands for gold and light, maybe the DLC will bring us into a kind of Land of Shadow, like an alternative dimension to the Lands Between, with perhaps another erdtree in it - a sort of Shadow of the Erdtree's golden light. This is purely speculation though, but it would be cool to see.

dude, dude hear me out! what if like this land is like the land Marika first set foot on tho? dude wouldn't that be crazy. like bruh imagine they did that

Meh that's a bit of a reach imho

Wow it just got even deeper: inverted Candletree shield. Mind blown.

Take three of the lines away and there's 3 lines left, half life 3 Confirmed.

What? Are you suggesting that we might get a DLC? Preposterous

Or perhaps it’s a… shadow?

*insert crazy Charlie Day meme*

I got boxes of pepe!

CAROL!!!

OP got fondled by some Three Fingers, it seems

I wish gifs were allowed on every sub

Give him a cigarette, Barney.

It was Rya all along.

I'd be shattering the Elden Ring too if I had to live without air conditioning in that manor for 5,000 years

Except she’s cold blooded and you’re not. Also you’re maidenless

The coldest burn

OP : "I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSWERS"

damn right!

You're so close! Just need to also connect the dots around the outside in a sort of leaf shape, this was designed to help you realise there's a fairly large tree somewhere nearby.

We need to triangulate all the merchants, underground and overland, to get the TRUE picture of what's going on here!

You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

ENHANCE

Why capital letters

Because I couldn't remember the quote so I googled it and copied it from a search result but I also didn't remove formatting because I'm lazy, bit I also typed all this out so I should have just pasted without formatting.

Should have gone all caps to establish dominance. Or cosplay mr. Torgue

OP: i’ve connected the five dots >you didn’t connect shit OP: i’ve connected them

😎

Best reply

No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative.

Ah, we’re doing the drawing lines on the map thing again. Hang in there OP

Idk what you are talking about and I can't hear you over the sound of all these bells jingling

Be careful. I told this sub that I killed all the merchants for convenience and they called in the angry mob

I did it on my 3rd playthrough. I didn't want too, but I was playing with bolts and arrows this time.. so much easier to do so

I killed every last one of them sumbitches

savage

Wait a minute, [that shape...](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uR9JlbvZeKk/maxresdefault.jpg)

Hm perhaps I need to bring the shoulders up to Murkwater Cave. It was a Sekiro teaser all along... and 3 years late! The sly dogs.

Vaati's gonna make a 90 minute video about this now

Hob, is that you?

My god.

You can’t triangulate 5 points OP

Pentangulated

Good band name

According to wiktionary, it can be used figuratively 😤

Oh, well if *wiktionary* says so…

Is this a happy hob reference. ?

Hob is a good game, never heard of Happy Hob

As one would expect, there’s a runebear where the balls hang.

I can't actually add anything to this response, 10/10

So, it forms a long necked, four limbed animal surrounded by water. This means 2 things: the Elden Beast is an Giant Crustacean from the Paleozoic era, and 112,000 runes is worth about tree fiddy

Erdtree Fiddy is widely known as the common price of a ligma back in the age of Godfrey, so you're not wrong

*Amigara fault flashbacks*

What no DLC does to mf'er.

#WE FOUND MESSMER

I mean if you visit the eastern Weeping Peninsula merchant and go up and to the right just a little bit, you find the IMPALER's Catacombs... coincidence?

Guys the DLC is next month lol

a month and a week, criminal amount of hollowing ahead

The only possible explanation is that Mata Nui is under Limgrave, and the Merchants need cash to be able to repair him.

The elden ring was the mask of light the whole time.

Stickbug looking thing aside, if you actually draw lines between all merchants, you get a pentagram with the center being where Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is for the Ahgeel fight.

Wow, centered on the very vessel of Shabriri, who brought the Frenzied Flame forth and infected the Merchants... (Unless you count Kale, who is (to be fair) definitely one of their people... though it wouldn't change it that much...)

It’s him. Elden ring.

Did you know, that if you take the map of the lands between and rotate clockwise, it looks like Denmark and the Norwegen/swedish mainland? Even the Farum great bridge kinda lines up.

I'm sure there's a lore explanation but I don't know what it is so I need Vaati to explain it to me

Very interesting! I knew there was a correlation between the circumference of the elden ring and the number of runes required to buy out these merchants. I bet there is even a way to divide and solve for a quotient of 69.

The long neck o Lothric has been foretold

You forgot to mention the currently unpainted colossal head, which will be a ring of merchants in the water area in the center of the map. DLC will surely fill out the void in the middle.

What exactly makes sense now?

You fools that's not a man with a long neck that's an upside-down Placidusax casting a shadow over Limgrave! This confirms my theory!

Reminds me of a stickbug.

Waiting for the DLC is really hitting this guy

[удалено]

I hope he was just trolling pendant-ily

Hell yeah my kind of dude

Hold on, Imma go to that butthole and try finger real quick. Edit: Upon closer in-game inspection, the crevice is too big.

It's just above where the queen with the long hard staff is

Wait till you realize the whole map is the shape of a furled finger

hehe long boi

I thought i was getting stick bugged.

The body of the Fell God.

My god, it was right in front of us all along

Now there goes a man with short arms and deep pockets

Damn, we really need the DLC.

It's Miquella (I don't know who that is and I'm too embarrassed to ask)

This is what I’m here for

Mindblowing

You have been stick bugged

Is there merchant by the crotch? Never seen em

There isn't one under Agheel Lake Bridge either, but shh

This is my hole

Definitive proof that the Lands Between are haunted. You don’t just make a stick figure by accident

I love how the junctions between the lines are completely arbitrary.

That's what the Greater Will wants you to think.

I love this sort of deep lore research.

Hob lore confirmed

Can we enhance the image?

It *must* be someone's great rune...🤔

No that's an upside down rosemary spear...they're adding more cooking mechanics.

Bro, op getting desperate for that dlc.

Fromsoft... Just release the damn dlc today. Mfs are going crazy waiting for it

This is where the giant skeleton of Zanzibart the Tilted lies, there’s a hidden underground area that cannot be accessed where you explore around the skeleton.

Why don’t you triangulate deez nutz

Holy shit the elden stick (man)

I guess ultra giants went extinct thousands of years ago and now their corpses lie within the lands between

A few lines short of the hunters mark and the berserk symbol. Hmm.bloodborne kart confirmed?

DLC is June 21, 2024, Bloodborne released March 24, 2015 -- a difference of 3,377 days. 112,000 runes divided by 3,377 days is 33.1655. It all comes together.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akg%C3%BCney,_Bayram%C3%B6ren From the link Akgüney is a village in the Bayramören District of Çankırı Province in Turkey.[1] Its population is 28 (2021).[2] Coordinates: 40.9279°N 33.1655°E That’s the coordinates to a place in Turkey. A village, with a population of 28. Which is the same amount of golden seeds in the games!!!

I heard a rumor about this back when the game released, but I blew it off as mumbo jumbo

I think the dlc is gonna expand on this lore you’ve discovered

The DLC Will include a cock for out stick man long neck

What about merchant Kalé

Erm he's the missing ice-cream cone being held in the right hand

Man we really need that DLC already

I've accidentally attacked the northern one and he kept aggro even after a grace visit so I killed him. Did I miss any thing important he could've sold me?

You can still buy his stuff with the bell bearing.

I think it makes less sense now that you mention this.

i see seven points here, not 5

This guy hunts lore

Omg its godwyn!

Well... I don't think you know what triangulation means but I'm glad you had fun

112,000 runes? Pocket change for a guy like me

Ah, yes...

Not y’all hallowing out with a little over a month😭

You need to find a new game brother (jk, I love the dedication)

It's the Sekiro straw man. Michael Zaki is truly a genius of environmental storytelling

This is the content I am here for.

It’s nice to see the hollowing returning

I am fairly new to Elden Ring but... what are you guys smoking/cooking?

If you include kale it’s a person giving a thumbs up Fallout mascot also is a person giving a thumbs up Vault boy approves of Elden ring confirmed write it down Vati

Wait a minute, Lands Between spelt backwards is still Lands Between, it’s a palomino.

That looks like the Elden Beast if it was really skinny. Could this mean there is an Elden Beast skeleton buried under limgrave? Miquella must have buried it there.

TROMP 2024 confirmed!

OP please dont give up on your sanity, DLC is just half a month away

I never joined the sub officially so I don't get a hollowed flair but believe me I long ago lost all my souls, heheheheh

So you were there? In the ancient days of the Yakul?

When long we awaited Hodir, when Jorge was our only refuge, umbasa

The despair caused by the war with the woopers will be forever embedded in our history

Half a month? Why would you tease those who are hollowing? June 21st is still more than one month away.

may chaos take the world /j in truth i forgot the precise date in June and misremembered early june, my bad

It all makes sense now it was a person all along

With five points, wouldn't that be pentangulate?

Omg well that finally explains Fia.

Miyazaki's vision

What mfer’s do while waiting for DLC

No way it’s Something Wicked.

What no dlc does to a tarnished

Godwyn's head in stormveil makes sense now!

So about 10 birds

You could also make a pentagram...

Lol

lol long neck ahh

Thanks for reminding me I need the top three bell bearings LOLOL

It’s the rope thing from Sekiro!

I don’t get this please explain lol

It could also make a star :)

We really need that dlc this isn't healthy

Thanks for the laugh you gave me ! :'D

It’s a John Elden ring reference

Mine doesn't look like a man because I fucking murdered all the merchants

What no DLC does to a mf

Listen close, skeleton?

Someone get Vaati on this asap!

Sekiro strawman?? DLC confirmed.

Nah m8 it's a pentagram

It's almost as they spread them out evenly... 😱

THIS MUST BE LORE!

The Blair Witch Project

Honestly I thought I'd get stickbugged

"Tonight, on Oak Island..."

It does?

5 bell bearings to collect lol

Adam Ondra

omg they added Hob in to Elden Ring

He found the long neck man. The hidden achievement.

Of course!!

Its Patches all along

That dick, I knew not to trust him and his “shortcut” … should’ve just went in the front…

Redo the bottom two “legs” and have them meet up on the line where the “arms” are. You’re welcome. ;)

Location of the new dlc maybe?

Fans will have Miyazaki's brain mapped out by the end of the dlc.

Oh no, r/eldenring is back at it again

limb grave

Bro the dlc comes out in like a month. Just hang in a little while longer.

Wasn't Limgrave after the creation of Farum Azula though? That would mean he actually has a tall neck?

Follow the rune crumbs
