Elden Ring Fan Builds Malenia's Valkyrie Helmet In Time For Launch
A dedicated Elden Ring fan has celebrated the game's impending launch by recreating Malenia's iconic winged helmet. FromSoftware's latest soulslike adventure will take players to a massive open-world fantasy setting called The Lands Between. Desperate fans have created fake lore and a gameplay demo for Elden Ring while awaiting release, but on February 25 gamers will experience the FromSoftware epic for themselves.
Since the game's first trailer was released back in 2019, Elden Ring fans have been fascinated by an armored female warrior named Malenia. The mysterious red-haired character, originally referred to as The Valkyrie due to her winged helmet, is outfitted with a distinct prosthetic arm and large sword. The name of the instant fan-favorite was eventually revealed to be Malenia, Blade of Miquella, though her role in the open-world title's storyline remains a mystery. She does share similarities to the player's ally Melina, however, and one gameplay trailer suggests that Malenia will be an Elden Ring boss character at some point.

Just in time for the launch of Elden Ring, Reddit user ExImryll has built an impressive recreation of Malenia's beautiful winged helmet. The now-iconic headgear sports a large grill, which is partially covered by an intricate lattice design, with the large wings jutting off the back. ExImryll brings the helmet to life in impressive detail, having remade every inch of the helmet as a 3D model before printing and painting it. The paint job perfectly reflects Malenia's rustic design, with the build serving as a perfect companion for any fan's first Elden Ring journey.
