One of the coolest visuals in Elden Ring, the Walking Mausoleum, caught my eye long before we got to play the game or knew it by name — the stomping giant was in the first gameplay trailer, and I distinctly remember it setting off sparks in my imagination. In a trailer full of cool shit, it stood out to me; it got me wondering about the gameplay possibilities that could come out of an open-ended world designed by FromSoftware.
Months after exhausting the game (for now), I still think about these big boys.
A fan on Reddit, HoboSapient, shares my enthusiasm — and then some. They created a big, detailed, surprisingly heavy LEGO version of Elden Ring‘s Walking Mausoleum. (Thanks, PC Gamer.)
Wondering Mausoleum that I built with LEGO from Eldenring
The build weighs 30 pounds and uses an estimated five to six thousand pieces.
How’d they source all of those bricks? “Whole lotta Pick-a-Brick at the LEGOstore, plus 20+ years of collecting,” according to the builder. “Lots of Technic,” too.
Four months ago, HoboSapient shared a concept for the top half of the Walking Mausoleum. The version we’re seeing today was scaled down “somewhat.”
I’ll echo what some of you are surely thinking: this looks good enough to be an official LEGO product, and it would be a tempting one, at that. And pricey as hell. For now (and likely forever), it’s a one-of-a-kind creation. HoboSapient should be proud.
They even sealed the deal with a cat (Gwynny) for scale.
You know those old Toys”R”Us holiday catalogs that were perfect for gifts from grandparents? I’m picturing this in the LEGO section, and I would’ve circled it so hard.
