2 years later, Elden Ring dataminer finally uncovers the RPG's original starting location and restores an alternate opening that makes slightly more sense
Melin♓𒀰a and Torrent originally went for a beachside stroll

An 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring dataminer has uncovered an alternate start loꦍcation and unused voice lines that were present in an early version of the game.&n♎bsp;
When Elden Ring launched two years ago, players were immediately thrust into a tough boss fight with Grafted Scion near the Chapel of Anticipation, but whether you win or (more likely) lose, your character falls down the cliffside and wakes up in a cave regardless. That doesn't quite make physical sense since you can't, you know, fall into a cave. But it's not just FromSoft's d꧙reamlike logic - there is another explanation.
YouTuber and dataminer Sekiro Dubi recently discovered that the opening cutscene - where Melina and Torrent find the player in a cave - was originally set on the sandy beach under the Seaside Ruins,ജ which makes more sense after tumbling off a cliff.
In the video below, Sekiro Dubi r🔯estores the original starting poin🌜t and stitches together a more fitting opening cutscene using leftover audio clips. The YouTuber even finds a route from the beach back to the Chapel, since an early network test version of the game featured a teleporter close by.
A map inscription from the pre-release network test also reveals that a port was planned to be near the beach,🎃 with the video speculating that it was "perhaps the place the Tarnished used for arriving from 'Across The Sea Of Fog.'"
While players are still excavating Elden Ring's past, the studio is gearing up to release its next chapter with the upcoming expansion 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shadow of the Erdtree on June 21. The DLC area is supposedly 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bigger than Limgrave and also 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:denser than anything in the studꦬio's back catalog.
Need a refresher before Shadow of the Erdtree? Here's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's story explained.
