The gigantic burning enemy from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is partially composed of corpses of people that appear to have died in agony.
This horrifying detail about the upcoming Elden Ring expansion was recently highlighted by Bandai Namco as part of its marketing efforts centered on the DLC.
The first and ostensibly only expansion for the hit RPG was officially announced in February 2023. A year later, FromSoftware finally treated Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree to a release date, confirming that the DLC is scheduled to drop on June 21.
That information was presented at the end of a lengthy gameplay reveal trailer, which showcased many locations and enemies from the upcoming expansion.
Among that bunch was a giant walking burning effigy, which can be seen between the 70- and 75-second mark. The official Elden Ring Twitter account has recently offered fans a closer look at this imposing creature in the form of a new promotional screenshot.
