Elden Ring enthusiasts are accustomed to peculiar tales of players accomplishing the extraordinary within the game’s realm. Yet, few anticipated the latest endeavor: the formation of an Elden Ring boy band by a fan. A video gaining traction on Reddit portrays an unusual scene wherein the Tarnished finds themselves encircled by a musical band featuring recognizable characters.
Since its launch in 2022, Elden Ring has consistently generated a slew of eyebrow-raising headlines. Whether it’s rumored hidden code resurfacing or a player completing Elden Ring with a Soldier of Godrick Build, fans have grown accustomed to the unexpected. However, a recent 3D animated video depicting five Elden Ring enemies skillfully playing drums, bass guitar, and electric keyboard marks a particularly unique occurrence.
Elden Ring Player Thinks They Found a Hidden Code on The Game’s Map
A fan thinks they have inched closer to finding Elden Ring’s last secret that Miyazaki spoke about, but the community is divided.
Reddit user Parjure0 recently posted a one-minute music video showcasing 3D animated Elden Ring adversaries performing with instruments. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Redmane Castle, the video stars five annoying creatures from the Lands Between: a Giant Rat, a Giant Crayfish, a Living Jar, a Godrick Foot Soldier, and a Mad Pumpkin Head. In this amusing clip, the band entertains with a cyberpunk-style track while the Tarnished appears to be lying motionless on the ground.
Having garnered over twenty thousand upvotes on Reddit, this brief animated video has sparked a tremendous wave of positive feedback within the fandom. Fans have particularly noted a nostalgic theme evident both in its visuals and in the original soundtrack.
What It Took to Have Elden Ring Enemies Play Instruments
According to Parjure0, the creative mind responsible for this music video, the production process entailed over 70 hours dedicated to crafting the music and rendering the 3D animation. To put that in perspective, this timeframe surpasses the duration required to complete Elden Ring‘s campaign. Consequently, fans have been lauding Parjure0’s remarkable dedication and hard work.
Regarding the distinctive low-resolution visuals of the video, Parjure0 disclosed that it was more of a necessity-driven decision rather than an intentional artistic choice. Due to the unavailability of 3D models for Elden Ring enemies, they resorted to utilizing Google images as textures to fashion the characters, resulting in the PS1-style graphics.
While witnessing an Elden Ring boy band might not have topped any player’s bucket list, Parjure0’s video has garnered hundreds of positive comments and thousands of upvotes. Fans perceive it as a heartwarming, albeit humorous, homage to From Software’s massively popular game. The meme-inspiring animation has also provided a delightful diversion for fans eagerly anticipating the release of the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in June 2024.
