The Lore of Elden Ring is infamously complicated. But did anyone else feel particularly confused by the iconic, yet nameless tower beneath the Scadutree? Well, we did too, so we've dived into everything we could find to try bring some light to the curious building, and found evidence for a secret alliance to Messmer...
This video looks at the lore of both the Lands Between and Lands of Shadow, including Messmer, Marika, Rauh, the Shadow keep, Hornsent, Banished Knights, Godfrey, Tibia Mariners, and the entire Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as a whole. We hope you enjoy our thoughts, and look forward to hearing yours in turn!
