Does Elden Ring Nightreign‘s bird-bodied Guardian have a human face hidden someplace on his feathery physique? It is a query folks have been fascinated about, and by “folks” I imply a small subset of Elden Ring obsessives who like to look at the sport being picked aside 3D mannequin by 3D mannequin.
Due to a prolific Souls modder/dataminer, I can offer you a solution. Of their newest video, Zullie The Witch – who’s beforehand solved various Souls mysteries and modded an Armored Core into Elden Ring – has unmasked Nightreign‘s crop of nightfarers like they’re Scooby-Doo villians. Most of their faces look the way you’d count on, however there are a few noteworthy instances that I believe it is value you understanding about.
To start with, it is value noting that because of the swap from customized characters to eight established archetypes, Nightreign’s playable characters do not use facedata – by my understanding, this the character creator values that spit out a specfic face – in the identical method Elden Ring did, although Zullie does word: “there’s technically facedata in Nightreign, however it appears to be only a copy of the prevailing information from Elden Ring.”
With that established, I am gonna soar to the little bit of the video that discusses the Guardian, the sport’s halberd-wielding Pinionfolk captain. Some of us had been questioning if his birdy visage might need imply FromSoft having to cover a human face someplace on his mannequin, presumably so he’d conform with the remainder of the playable fashions. Fortunately for all of our desires, Zullie has checked beneath the backs of their knees for stray mouths, and says they’ve not discovered a bizarre human face hiding anyplace on the Guardian.
In the meantime, the one nightfarer they could not discover any type of correct face for (of the human or birdy selection) was Wylder. Eradicating the armour from every of his skins has simply revealed a featureless “silhoutte”, which Zullie notes leaves his look a little bit of thriller, although of us have inferred that he probably seems much like the Dutchess. Cue some commenters joking that after all the character they’ve dubbed John Nightreign, equally to Helldivers 2 gamers making a meme out of the title John Helldiver referring to some legendary everyman determine, is faceless.
One asserted that this confirms that “Wylder is the true John from all Fromsoft video games”, which is definitely a principle.
When you’ve not given Nightreign a go but, be certain to take a look at Nic’s review of it and the stuff FromSoft recently confirmed is coming to it down the street.
