Elden Ring's Most Messed Up Armor Set Turns You Into Leatherface
Elden Ring has an armor set that essentially turns the player in Leatherface, the iconic slasher film villain from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Godskin Apostle set appears to be exactly what it sounds like — garb crafted from the skin of a god. The gruesome clothes match the atmosphere and gory horror of Elden Ring, but elicit a stomach-turning response similar to that from seeing Leatherface don a fresh skin mask.
The body horror of Elden Ring surpasses that of any act committed by Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. The horror film legend first debuted in the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974, but appears as a primary character in every sequel, prequel, and reboot the series has had thus far. Leatherface is largely based on the repulsive crimes committed by Ed Gein, a notorious murderer and body snatcher active in the 1950s known for crafting clothes and household objects from human skin and bones.
