New Minions Movie Has Item That Looks a Lot Like an Elden Ring Talisman

Minions: The Rise of Gru has officially released, and Elden Ring fans visiting theaters with their families may be surprised to see an item from the FromSoftware game in the prequel. Sure enough, an Elden Ring fan has found that the film's “entire plot” hinges on a very Elden Ring-like necklace.

After all, the world and characters crafted by FromSoftware and George R.R. Martin is extremely dark and full of demented figures like Mohg and Dung Eater. While the internet has a love/hate relationship with the Minions seen in The Rise of Gru, their films can hardly be described with the words often used to explain the Lands Between.

The only major difference is the green ring in the center of the Minions necklace and the color of the gems, as Elden Ring’s are a darker green. Beyond that, they are essentially exact matches.

This Elden Ring Talisman can be acquired from a chest at Miquella’s Haligtree, one of the final areas players will likely explore during their playthroughs. While most remember this location because it is part of the pathway to Malenia, the game’s hardest boss battle, the Viridan Amber Medallion +2 can be picked up after some clever platforming. If
