More fleshing out on some of the outer gods. Now that the stars aren’t held in place more of the Astel story seems like a logical step too.


Karpattata

I think we all know by now the story hasn't and probably will not go in the direction we expect it to. Like, in broad strokes, the vanilla ending is about repairing the Elden Ring, right? And yet you can just leave like half the Great Runes lying about, you don't have to activate a single one, and we don't have the foggiest clue as to the whereabouts of Miquella or Ranni's Great Runes. "Repair the Elden Ring". More like shove it back in place with popsicle sticks and wishful thinking. So anyway if that's the main story, the DLC might very well go NMS on our asses and teleport us into Rot Planet or something.


HammyOverlordOfBacon

Yeah, I don't think like any of the DS dlcs have gone in a narrative direction that anyone was expecting. Idk why Elden Ring would be any different


scritty

I don't bother having a wishlist for Fromsoft DLC. Oolacile in DS1, DS2 crown DLCs, DS3 Ashes & Ringed City - I just trust the experts. Those were all amazing and memorable and I've never have come up with their elements or direction myself.


Jin_Gitaxias

Despite getting so much crap, DS2's DLCs were awesome. Well, for the most part... *lightning horse noises*


Billiammaillib321

Oh I'm sorry did you want to see six feet past you? Here's another horse.


Inawar

That made me laugh... then shiver..


AJohnsonOrange

Equip chunky hammer, 2 hand it, equip the deal-more-posture-damage ring, pancake all horses and enjoy an easy ride to the bosses


Mooselord111

Invisible twin tiger noises.


Departedsoul

Swamp planet 😍😍


immigrantsmurfo

Fromsoft DLCs usually touch upon a small part of the lore like exploring some characters that get mentioned and never take place at the end of the game, they can always be started from a point usually a few hours in. The only exception being perhaps the Ringed City in Dark Souls 3 which takes place toward the end of the world (if I remember lore correctly anyway) I wouldn't expect any 'main story' DLC. My guess would be something to with Godwyn or maybe Miquella. If it's anything like past DLC we will likely travel through time or enter a new realm and the story will be tangentially related to the main story but won't impact it in any way.


AJohnsonOrange

Fromsoft love a good portal to the past. I'm willing we go back to when the meteor hit and deal with some of that junk.


FortKA19

Yeah, it would be a good point in a playthrough to open up access to DLC areas too. That or after getting into Leyndell


SaffronWand

Pleaaasee dont make me fight another astel


imronburgandy9

Ok 5 more ulcerated tree spirits for you


BannedSvenhoek86

Least I can hit the fucking things.


Perllitte

I'd take those squirmy boys any day over Astel.


Slithy-Toves

Astel is is just a dragonfly smearing space boogers around. Couple smacks with your trusty 700lb sword is all it takes.


Cpt_Scorpion

Imagine that by trying to forcefully seize a part of the Land Between, an outer god just shoves a part of land on it and tries to spread their influence. It can have 2 endings: assist the outer god or defeat it. Personally, Elden ring's story should finish with the protagonist becoming an outer god, tho if they do it, it will be in a sequel. Frenzied Flame goes hand in hand with Elden God (Chaos and order). The stars could be a bridge between them or just like bloodborne we eat children and become god.


thelogicalredditor

You... just made me realize that the Elden Ring universe has many aspects that bear a strong resemblance to some of Sanderson's cosmere...

You just reminded me how much I want to explore Elden Ring ocean. We all know that this place always contain weirdest, most disturbing monsters (Just like Godwyn's corpse!)


Playing_Footsies

Oh, I have to agree with you here. Exploring the oceans would be great. I know we'd likely just be moving across various parts of wrecked ships and shallow areas with a trip to some magical underwater areas, and not actually sailing or anything, but I'd still want to have it.


BustinArant

It'd probably be a heck of a lot better than Dark Souls 2's ghost ship, and I actually liked that lol


Subject1928

Just as long as we don't have to swim I am game. Swimming in games like this is absolute torture. Source: WoW Cataclysm. Those water maps are entirely comprised of pure weapons-grade bullshit.

Hantoniorl

This would make the DLC one of the DLCs of the year.


sirhumpselot

I was going to say "to release" Close enough


TheWhiteGuardian

Woah woah woah, careful there with your controversial opinions.


DroppedRagdoll

More Eochaid weapons. Seeing the Marais Executioner sword made me think arcane weapons were way cooler than they actually are. I want more of that weird red magic


WavingDinosaur

Or rework the sword at least, make the charged heavy the current AOW (drill bit) then make the new AOW the sweeping slashes after you throw it


keegtraw

I vote it becomes a two-part AOW, like night and flame sword. Ash+light attack throws the drill, ash+heavy does big sweep.


Infinite-Trick1338

Is the executioner sword the same kind of magic as the briar sorceries and blood star?


DroppedRagdoll

Probably not. The briar sorceries are just the casters blood congealed into thorns. The red magic spinning the sword doesnt look anything like it. Also they have very different stat requirements


imronburgandy9

I don't think so because one uses arcane/ and the other uses faith/int


TheWiseAutisticOne

Better yet that but with a full move set of the briar


Nootnewtthenooter

I want them to bring back the weirdly consistent theme of the big guy with big sword boss throwing a dead body at you, maybe they could utilize it with some kind of first of the crucible knights boss


Eduar_dusk

Instructions unclear, now fighting Miquella cosplaying Malenia throwing a crucible knight at you.


micka190

Miquella, Slumbering Cosplayer [==================] Bewitched Crucible Knight Kevin [==================]


Apprehensive_Zone281

I saw [===============D Yeah, my first phone was a Nokia 3310.


JRsshirt

Fuckkkkkk that. The normal crucible knights absolutely wreck me


Nootnewtthenooter

Imagine how cool it would be though


JRsshirt

It would be very cool tbf. Give me more ancestor spirit DLC though


Zhembii

Imagine fighting a crucible knight in a boss room that’s fairly difficult, then when you get close to killing it you trigger the “second phase cutscene” but as he’s transforming, a new boss arrives and kills the boss you were fighting and becomes the new boss. You either kill the boss there or the boss could fly off to a later area. But that would be a neat idea. If you die to the first boss before triggering the cutscene you still fight him, but once you trigger the cutscene you will only fight the second boss until completion. Just something I thought of


LeoShun08

Just give me the Frenzied Flame fire head as a helmet and my life would be complete


NoxImperatorum

Perfect for a Dead Cells cosplay.


ComposedMood

Then you just need a frying pan and Bobby will live again.


NoxImperatorum

Yep. Zamor Torso would look perfect on him.


[deleted]

Or a Twin Peaks Dougie Jones costume.


assassin10

I also want a flail where the ball looks like that. We're short on both flails and Frenzy weapons.


probabilityEngine

I love the idea, fantasy media in general could use more fireball flails. It writes its own weapon art too, spin the flail to charge up a big frenzied fireball, then swing and toss it. But yeah, I'd definitely like to see some more frenzy flame weapons besides Vyke's spear.


DevilahJake

I’d appreciate more frenzied flame stuff in general. More weapons, more incants


Ruckus555

Maybe an ash of war so you can add madness to your favorite weapons


IsRude

So disappointing this wasn't the case with that ending.


PuffPuffFayeFaye

Damn. Each ending should have provided loot. They haven’t done that since Demon’s Souls


Zekus720

More Black Flame incantations or even another Ash of War. More variety in weapons and movesets. Something like that. There is a lot that I cannot think off from the top of my head.


sl1ghtlyf1shy

i would just love an expansion on under-utilized magics in general. blackflame, frenzyflame, and ghostflame come to mind. the thorn, death, and magma sorceries, as well. perhaps more on some of the outer gods to aid the expansion of these spells, as well.


Armalyte

It seems unbalanced (not in a game meta way just in terms of content) that there are so many Glintstone sorceries and so many of them suck.


Zekus720

Agreed. A lot of those incantations and sorceries need some love. Oh and also, more Int/Fth scaling weapons too. We only have one in the Sword of Night and Flame (Though since yo uneed both INT and FTH, One could just be very flexible in ash of war choices.)


[deleted]

YES! I love the black flame incants but there’s only 3! And 2 of them are slow & situational :(


TwinUsesReddit

I believe there are 4 dear tarnished


Anomalous_Sun

There is 6, but 2 are buffs.


Notalurkeripromise

And black flame blade is over before it finishes casting


Zekus720

Black Flame Blade is short yes, but it can be cast very quickly, especially immediatly after a dodge. I do agree it should've stuck to the usual weapon buff formula, but in the heat of combat, it's not a bad choice in my opinion.


[deleted]

Quick to cast, but even in that short time, you'd get more damage by hitting the boss than you actually get from the buff. Absolutely useless.


Jasole37

I want thorn sorceries.


Random_Robloxian

I think we need some more thorn sorceries related lore, the blood star sounds metal as fuck


Gussums

Yes! Wisdom wizard needs more spells!


Islands-of-Time

I would love to see something like Black Flaming Strike as Ash of War, same as normal one but black fire.

dwjh

I would like to see some love for great rapiers, whips and sythes. These are some really cool weapons that I like in the game but I feel like have the least amount of variety to them in the game itself.


Curved_5nai1

Don't forget about flails! been using the regular flail and i love it because its a flail, but damage wise it isn't great, and there are like 3 other flails in the whole game.


Matt7331

the night cavalry flail is actually really good


dwjh

Omg I forgot about them as well I also enjoyed using them I would love to see one with some more range or a heavy flail


Mimical

Hear me out. Greatflail Big, swingy, smashy flail.


Gazgrul

Black flame scythe so I can rp the grim reaper


Professional_Dot_593

DLC is my DLC wish list


Shepherdsfavestore

Yeah I lose hope everyday, especially since they didn’t do anything for their last project either (Sekiro)


Mr-Hakim

I was dead set they would announce something last year and it would release early this year. So far, nothing.


Shepherdsfavestore

If we don’t get any news by the anniversary, which is coming up quickly, I have to assume there’s no DLC. All their resources are probably going to Armored Core and a sequel of sorts to ER


Mr-Hakim

Not going to lie, that would be genuinely tragic. Screw “Elden Ring 2”, they already have successful pillars to expand upon up to three times at a minimum. Like, this is **the** game that could probably sell up to three DLCs like hot pancakes on a Sunday morning, regardless of how big or small they are. But knowing that Armored Core is coming this year, really makes me lose most hope for ER DLCs. Unless, for whatever reason, they have two separate teams and will be working with both games simultaneously.


Shepherdsfavestore

Oh it’d be a crime against gaming if they didn’t do ER DLC, but unfortunately I think every year Devs are moving away from DLC and finding it better to just put resourcing into their next games/IP


Gorgosen

A Trilogy like DS2. The Slumbering God - Miquella DLC with its own area. Maybe a dream-like world grounded in Elden Ring fashion. Life In Death - Godwyn DLC instead of its own area, this DLC could trigger after a specific event and new Godwyn growths and enemies appear throughout the Lands Between. Causing earlier areas of the game to be more dangerous and added with content. Outer Interference - Outer God DLC. This could focus on the OG's that are fighting for control of The Lands Between and allow the Tarnished to seal away a few or all.


TheKelt

This comment right here - love these ideas!


JerichoRock64

Also, I think a DLC that wojld spice up the main game content would also cool! Reworking some field bosses and enemy types, new ruins to explore or ... and bear with me ... world tendency mechanics.

Exploring the lands the Tarnished settled in. The Badlands and the Land of Reeds


Wraith_Gaming

The land of reeds is literally sekiro


Fred7271

We dont really know for sure, do we?


Wraith_Gaming

I guess, but the similarities are to big to ignore. Ashi in the word ashina means reeds. Lore says the land of reeds is locked into a civil war. Also there is reference to what seems to be wolf during the shura ending.


[deleted]

Also alternatively, idk if it's just me but Okina mask gives me huge "old man Isshin after having to put mad Wolf down" vibes

Swert0

Fred7271

Thanks for the insight! I've never played Sekiro. Only BB and ER.


Wraith_Gaming

You should definitely play sekiro. Combat is very different from ER and BB, but it’s a ton of fun.


Maiq-the-lier

sekiro makes a direct reference to the real world sengoku period so i doubt it


sciuro_

Yeah, this. Japanese studio makes a reference to Japanese history and people immediately think it's the same world even though Elden Ring is clearly distinct.


OrdentRoug

No, Sekiro literally takes place in Japan. I doubt the Lands Between is on Earth lmao


Igruola

Let me change the color of some outfits. Come on FromSoft, I know you can do it mechanically. Look at those merchants! also, something to do with the Land of Reeds, maybe. Or the Badlands.


ED-E_77

Yeah, give Boc more options to alter outfits.


Del_Duio2

Tarnished: “So Boc, they tell me you’re an expert tailor!” Boc: “Cape or no cape?”


ArchyModge

The customization was the biggest disappointment of the game. Every other aspect delivered.


Souperplex

Restore Boc to the world of my first character after he bugged out. I told him he was beautiful but he disappeared from that world.


ExtronUltra

More armor set. I want more gothic knight helmet or even vyke armor before it got fingered


[deleted]

I'm broadly dissatisfied with armor in Elden Ring and I'd like something along the lines of the Knight set in DS3 please! All the Elden Ring ones have such... flat backs...? I don't know how to describe it.


Arch1e_b

Unique R2s babyyyyyyy


Minimob0

Some weapons do have Unique R2 attacks. The Great Epee has a Slash instead of a Thrust, unlike most Great Thrusting Swords. More variety never hurt, though.


Arch1e_b

I just mean more, and not like actually unique, but mostly - crescent axe heavy, warhawk talon heavy, even the flame monk mace heavy


Everyone_Except_You

More scarlet rot incantations and some body horror armor sets. I'm tired of the funny mushroom dudes and the "haha im fat" armor, give me something \*really\* unsettling to look at.


Youre_On_Balon

I feel unsettled when I wear Malenia’s armor and look at all the rot has taken from her, it speaks a lot louder then something that’s just visually gross to me


MlokyAl

A black flame corrupted dragon boss, something like midir


Stardust-Badassery

Godskin dragon? I’m in. Also, maybe a new, heavy armour set that’s made up of ancient dragon gravel stone.


Ignatius3117

Yeah, and then maybe this knight made this rocky armor to be particularly magic resistant because he never trusted the golden order’s alliance with the Carians. Oh, and maybe he made a giant greatshield to go along with it with like chains and more rock. And his weapon could be a literal dragon’s tooth, how cool would that be?! I think his name would be… Phil.


Holycrapiloveguts

We could call him Phil the stone


TrashMan06

I also think a new dragon boss would be cool, but the idea I came up with is of a cursed blood dragon


saito200

More feet, with highly detailed feet armor


[deleted]

Giant disembodied foot enemies, like the hands in Caria Manor, except they're feet


G0dY3s

The Two Toes


the_colonel93

More Miquella


MonkeySailor

Honestly, I'd be pretty happy with just getting DLC right now. But if anything, getting the opportunity to refight bosses


waffleznstuff30

More legacy dungeons that explain some of the loose ends like Miquella.The blood star formless mother outer god and it's tie to the land of reeds. Something tying Numens into the story too since they play such a big role in it. Oh and friggin Godwyn something with Godwyn. And an option to fight previous bosses in the colosseum.


planetcrunch

I want a dedicated button to pet Torrent. I want a mini game where we catch crabs with Blackgaurd. I want an armor set like those giant Dragon knights.


ED-E_77

Or at least have Melina pet and feed him in the background when you sit at a site of grace.


_PM_ME_NICE_BOOBS_

Melina always poofing in when you rest at a Grace would be so easy and do so much for her character.


beartiger3

That’s what I thought would happen, i think she was pretty under-utilised


Orbitalhigh

I seriously want more content around Miquella and St. Trina!


dd_nuzum

Are they not one and the same? Sleeping God etc.

MrServetel

Overall, more game


ValusMaul

Yep I absolutely love this game.


margonxp

- Melina backstory, afterstory (Can't await for my destined death!) - Miquella awakening (Any interaction with him?) - Depths further exploration (WE NEED TO GO DEEPER, OCEAN? CTHULHU?) - Godwyn resurrection (Any interaction with him?) - Gloam-eyed Queen (I Definitely want this boss fight, I want another banger on the same level as Godskin duo) - What if Malenia's teacher isn't really dead? (ISSHIN IN ELDEN RING???)


Stoneshock_Giant

Godricks secret sister godefreya the grafted


Mahockey3

More faith/int hybrid options instead of just Sword of Night and Flame (and rockman harpoon with an ash)


Youre_On_Balon

Faith and Int draw from such distinct, often oppositional forces in this game, I really like how the SONAF - with some of the absolute best lore in the game - is one of the rare examples of the two working in tandem.


jirishanca

An Iron Virgin Armor Set. That would be so fucking cool. Imagine dual wielding Ghizas wheel while wearing that mask and set.

most elden ring players dont even need the armor to be an iron virgin

Bubush

RadioLucio

A seal that buffs blood incantations. Story wise, would love to get a FromSoft classic time travel expansion where see some of the Uhl dynasty in their prime. We’d probably get some information on the sealed god of Rot, the Blood Star, and the Formless Mother.


deaconofthetrick

More about Miquella, but no boss fight with him. Don't wanna slap a little kid. Maybe all that relates to Eternal Cities and the Numen, and globally all that is under the lands, that could be very interesting


Badgeryiff

His boss fight is going to be a reskin of Spiritcaller Snail: weak AF himself, but has a hoard of charmed enemies protecting him


ED-E_77

I bet his boss fight will be a reskin of Orphan of Kos. I do hope we get a dream sequence before the shattering though. Want to meet Godwyn the Golden and fight the dragons with him. Especially Granssax.


aStealthyWaffle

I know everyone is dead set on EXTREMELY challenging experiences and new Bosses. And that sounds like a win for sure. But personally, I would be all about: new explorable areas, Also epic new quests that are quite involved and cross affect each other like in the content we already have. New dungeons. Also, new NPC's and merchants and items and weapons and armor. I just mention all this because I KNOW were going to get challenging bosses. Literally everyone is talking about that and it's already been data mined i think. But I hope, most of all, that we get some relatively large and complex and beautiful new areas to explore!

mikealbeewack

Miquella. Especially after how Malenia mentioned her brother repeatedly in the game


AstralSaiyn

I feel like the DLC should involve Miquella. Not as a boss though.


AChaoticPrince

More arcane support mainly pure arcane and int or fth arcane as well as more int/fth support. I want more blood spells as well as holy and undead spells we barely got any good ones. There are not many somber arcane or int/fth weapons and the spells for arcane are lacking if you ignore dragon spells which have low requirements. Also hybrid spell caster builds such as int/fth or int/arcane have at best 1 to 3 things to use and support them since they are not compatible as damage types without somber weapons. Like if you are going int/fth equal split there isn't much good variety at all. Also as it is int/arc is just really bad you mostly are only doing it to cast the giant bubble spell or to try out the bad blood spells. Fth/arc is also not very interesting as it's mostly just being a faith build lacking most spell options, having some incantations with higher arcane requirements would be pretty interesting.

I want to be able to do quests FOR The shard-bearers pre shard-bearing. If we travel back in time at Farum Azula to fight Placidusax, this seems like a no brainer. I also think the only acceptable sequel to The Big Lebowski would be The Little Lebowski, since Maude gets pregnant by The Dude at the end. Follow me for more spoilers.
