The news comes from Youtuber BonfireVN viaPCGamer, who has posted a video showing the model with the costume removed and, what’s more, in combat, which inevitably makes the whole fight look rather funny. The front half of the lion might be the source of all those eye-catching AOE attacks but the back half of the lion is doing all the heavy lifting, to the point of defying the laws of physics. Feel free to point a finger and laugh uproariously like a school bully at a pantomime rehearsal. I’m sure it’ll make you feel better when you take a lightning bolt to the chops for the 30th time running.

Generally speaking, I both love it and feel quite anxious when developers take the time to depict things which you’ll technically never see: landscapes that can’t be visited, proper skeletons for characters, that kind of thing. I also wonder whether they could have gone a bit meta with this.
The Dancing Lion has its place in Erdtree’s lore, as you’d expect, but perhaps they could have done an Icon Of Sin and put From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki inside it. He’d be the front half of the lion, naturally, but who would be the other half? Whomst at From Software has the clout, the talent, the sheer stage presence to be the back half of Elden Ring’s dancing lion? In other news,Shadow Of The Erdtree has launched to a mixed reception on Steam, with a significant portion of the negative response owing to players finding it too difficult.
