Elden Ring Dataminer Reveals True Face of Shadow of the Erdtree NPCs | Push Square

With Elden Ring's enormous Shadow of the Erdtree expansion currently enthralling millions (probably), there's a lot of interest in FromSoftware's esoteric fantasy world. An entire cottage industry exists that examines its games in minute detail, teasing out lore tidbits and giving players a glimpse at things the developer never intended them to see.

I'm mostly impressed by the graphics in this expansion, thought they'd leave it as impressive as it already is.

@Shinnok789 Yep, people always playing the «I'm the most busiest» card when
