This is NOT a spoiler thread!


Apparently, Elden Ring heavy end-game story spoilers somehow leaked.



Don't click on this tweet as you're 100% find some of it in the replies.

This is just a warning - if anyone plans to go in blind - start your media blackout NOW with all the tools available. I'm blocking all mentions of the game from this point onwards, also here on NeoGAF.

Including this thread. See you in February!


Essential Chrome extensions:

- Spoiler Protection 2.0 (image thumbnail blocker and mentions blocker)
- Unspoiler (mentions blocker see screenshot below)

Youtube mentions and channel blacklist tools: BlockTube + Channel Blocker.

Twitter: - go Settings and privacy -> Privacy and safety -> Mute and Block -> Muted words - add Elden Ring to the list.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing Bartski. Always good to know and I will be careful out there !

 

[Mr Hyde]

I'm already on a media blackout on this game (although it's hard as shit due to the hype, constant videos and information getting rolled out on the web 24/7). Guess I have to quit the Internet altogether until the game's release. I feel sorry for team for the leak. Really sad that shit like this happens and ruins it for many fans.

Kinda surprised if it has much of a story to be spoiled to be honest. Their traditional gameplay-first approach is hardly conducive to deep plotting and characterization.

 

[Bartski]

I put some of the most effective chrome extension suggestions I know in the OP. It sucks so much if you're on youtube to browse it without thumbnails but all the top cunts will be pushing this for clicks hard from this point onwards

Yeah, it's crazy. At the end of the game you have to collect four pieces of the ring from killing 4 main guys. Then if you do that you can go to the hallowed ground at the end where you fight an old man who did some bad things, but also good thing. Then you have a choice to make, you can either save the world or let it lead to ruin.

Thanks. Ruined the game for me. Not buying now.

How is this the first time I learn that Youtube content blockers are a thing?

From doesn't do a story and George RR Martin never finishes his.

Nothing really to leak.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Joke Thread?

It's co-written by George R.R. Martin.. there's no way the story actually ends.

SEKIRO had a story and I would have been annoyed to have it's story beats spoiled. That this game has gameplay mechanics nudging you towards narrative beats I'm going to say there is something here to be spoiled.

[DenchDeckard]

I couldn't care for story spoilers but if something cool leaks like you transform into a dragon and fuck dwarves ill be upset.

 

[Kenpachii]

Dam that sucks.

 

[Northeastmonk]

What is his proof? He says it like, “bruh I wish I didn’t know”. OK bruh?

 

[Draugoth]

Proof?

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Has this been confirmed or is this a false alarm?

 

[GymWolf]

You can told me the entire story and my hype would not decrease by one bit, who gives a damn about story in souls games anyway...

I still don’t understand Bloodborne, even after watching YouTube videos about it
Still play it like once a year tho

oh FFS



blackout tips & tools in OP. Good luck!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't care that much about the story unless there's some kind of spin mid game, like how Bloodborne went from furries to ayyliens.

 

[Spaceman292]

I had no idea what was going on in Dark Souls until my fourth play through. I think I'll be fine.

if you feel like looking for it be my guest. I'd be more than happy if anyone proves this false. I've seen multiple warning threads on /r confirming end-game spoilers are out, and now this.
I've blocked any mention of "elden ring" and related everywhere except their official Twitter and I'm not touching it until I beat the game.

 

[FrankWza]

oh FFS

Patches was behind all the realms darkness. GRR Martin is making him the little finger of the souls world.

 

[Spukc]

it's all about the journey not the ending

 

[Sander Cohen]

Souls game have a coherent story? First time I hear.

 

[ShirAhava]

You can told me the entire story and my hype would not decrease by one bit, who gives a damn about story in souls games anyway...

I honestly wasn't aware that anyone played these games for the narrative.....that's....kinda depressing to hear

It is also from the same guy. I would have imagined it being a lot more widespread. The Capcom and Naughty Dog leaks were right out there in the open. I find it funny how it’s the ending dialogue that leaked. I’m not up to surf /r for stuff, but sooner or later we’ll all be able to compare notes. Lol

 

[AJUMP23]

good looking out.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I would be bothered if George RR had written the story but he only did world building so its whatever.


These games don't have the greatest stories to tell

 

[Airbus Jr]

Spoiler if you click bellow


One file that's been leaked makes reference to "the other Eternal City." The speakers say that the city hides a "cradle chalice," and though the importance of the chalice has yet to be revealed, fans of the Souls series will likely remember the importance of chalices in "Bloodborne."

 

[Bartski]

Just a heads up as expected - retail discs already in shops and early copies are out, some people already streaming the game, zero fucks given on reddit - massive spoilers in thread titles everywhere.

Blackout tools in the OP for everyone interested, work 99% of the time. Good luck!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yes, someone posted a pic on 4chan of an open box full of copies with the current date as proof. People is already playing the game, so be careful and stay safe.

 

[Orpheum]

I saw multiple people streaming it already. I think twitch took action rather quickly tough since the VoD's are deleted

 

[Borowski_1]

Intro cinematic of the game has leaked

 

[Bartski]

FFS

 

[slade]

Elden Rings was Game of Thrones all along. Takes place in ancient Valyria.

 

[DarthPutin]

Well-known FROM leaker on reset said that while the story is still told in traditional FROM format, it's much more... decisive and well thought-out (coherent) than usual.

 

[JackSparr0w]

From soft games have story?

 

[ANDS]

From soft games have story?

We've known this was going to have more narrative heft than usual (nevermind this comment being silly given SEKIRO now exists).

 

[Lux R7]

From soft games have story?

yes

 

[Kokoloko85]

From soft games have story?

More back story and details than most video games

 

[TintoConCasera]

It's going to be a long week, specially not being able to surf the internet in peace.

Literally impossible. I just unplugged from reddit 'till I beat the game. Make sure to also add hashtags to Twitter muted word list, their recommended/followed topic algorithm is hell on earth
