Arise, Tarnished: a new Elden Ring DLC image just dropped, and it looks like a fresh take on an old enemy wielding a cool new weapon type

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is nearly upon us, but there's still time for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware special: ravenously speculating about a single piece of artwork. The game's official 🌃Twitter account just dropped a shot of a new enemy coming in the DLC, so r🦹ev up that speculator, Tarnished. 

I've scoured the trailers and store pages just to double-check, a🌌nd this DLC enemy certaiꦜnly seems brand-new. "Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow," the tweet teases below. 

The gnarly, spiraling, crimson-tinged horns are a telltale sign of an Omen, a type of monster found throughout Elden Ring's base map. It seems the DLC's Land of Shadow has Omens of its own – or perhaps one special Omen, if this figure is a boss. We know Omens as hulking, cursed beings, but this Omen looks a bit more agile. It's also more feminine in appearance between the slender mask, long hair, draped skirt, and slimmer frame – and, as some players have po꧋inted out, the composition seems to resemble a uterus, perhaps echoing themes from FromSoftware's Bloodborne. 

The big draw for me is this Omen's weapon: a pair of massive chakrams. Elden Ring director and FromSoft boss Hidetaka Miyazaki has stressed that new weapons and entirely new weapon archetypes are a key feature in Shadow of the Erdtree, and now I'm hoping the expanded arsenal includes these chakrams, whether they're a normal item or a boss weapon. An existing enemy type, the Crystalians, technically already uses chakrams, but the weapon type has been unavailable to players. Please let these be usable, FromSoftware, and please l🦩et us properly throw them. 

Elden Ring's Malenia was just defeated by Twitch's biggest streamer - and it only took him 24 hours and 400 straight deaths to do it.
