Elden Ring Players Discuss Potential New Endings For Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC

Elden Ring has six potential endings: four where you wind up as Elden Lord, and two where you abdicate the throne or just burn the world down. But with so much strife and so many powerful figures in the Lands Between, any one of them could have emerged victorious to usher in a new age.

Over on the Elden Ring subreddit, Tarnished are discussing what potential new endings they'd love to see. User EgoisticGolf707 started the discussion with the "Age of the Dragonborns," which we'll assume to be a return of Elden Ring's dragons to a seat of power rather than a surprise Skyrim crossover.

The top comment's suggestion for a new ending is one that very well might be the focus of the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Although "Miquella's age of consent" is clearly a joke title, it's a clear reference to Miquella being held captive by Mohg, but rather than remaining in his blood-filled cocoon, Miquella would emerge to provide the Tarnished with renewed purpose.

And this could very well happen. The only information we have for Shadow of the Erdtree is a single teaser image showing a figure riding astride Torrent--a figure that looks a lot like Miquella.

Second place in the thread is "Age of Blood," and although it's not described by the original poster, it likely refers to a scenario where Mohg's Bloody Fingers eliminate the Tarnished and ushers in the outer god of Blood in place of the Greater Will. What this would look like it's anybody's guess, but it probably wouldn't be pretty.

Another possibility, one which an Elden Ring fan believes could be added in Shadow of the Erdtree, is the "Age of the Crucible." For those unaware, the Crucible was the age before the Erdtree that gave rise to the Crucible Knights, the Misbegotten, and the demonic Omen. Each was shunned by the Golden Order, so a return to the Crucible would be cathartic after an age of persecution.

Or, Shadow of the Erdtree could add an "Age of the Serpent Family," which would feature the Elden Beast getting eaten by Rykard as the God-Devouring Serpent. It’d be a pretty short ending, but at least we’d still have "family."

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target.

Fired WoW Lead Says Blizzard Is Being "Torn Apart" By Bosses

A fired World of Warcraft lead engineer has spoken out after news of his termination was leaked last night. According to both the initial report and his own testimony, Brian Birmingham was fired after he failed to meet a quota on negative employee evaluations, with bosses requiring him to mark down five percent of the coworkers he assessed. Birmingham, who was the lead software engineer on Warcraft Classic, worked at Blizzard for 17 years prior to his dismissal. Now that the news is public, Birmingham is using the opportunity to shed some light on the working conditions within the company, suggesting that little has changed in some areas, even after allegations of abuse in the workplace were made public in 2021.
