Elden Ring : a Tarnished of No Renown (Taking a break)

"Arise now, ye Tarnished! Ye dead who yet lives!" This will be a fanfic of mine on Elden Ring, following the perspective of a player Tarnished named Sigurd. I will be giving my own perspective (in first person) as well as my own theories in the lore of Elden Ring. Given how vagued the lore of this game is, I will try my best at staying lore accurate while adding in details of my own. As for Melina in the story, she will be getting a perspective of her own as well as some side story for her. I find that she lacks a role in the main game's story so I wanted give her more of a role in it, even if it's fabricated from my own understanding of the story and her character. As for the combat, well.... let's just say I'm not a big fan of the combat from the original game so I'm not going to make the Tarnished character fight by rolling around like a idiot. Instead, he will be given different defensive maneuvers besides just rolling around.... which might resembles Sekiro's combat in some ways because Deflection will be the primary defense here instead of rolling around. With all the information out of the way, let me as the author drop something here.... I highly recommend you to read this with Elden Ring's background music, especially during boss fights. I want to capture not just the exposition of Elden Ring, but also the emotions and feelings that it made me feel. Things like frustration at Margit's super delayed attacks, or the awe of seeing Limgrave for the first time, etc. Hope you'll enjoy my result!

What to Expect in this FanFic

The story will be told in First Person, which means not everything is clear from the beginning because the characters aren't wizards or Gideon Ofnir, they aren't All-Knowing....

Melina gets her own POV and made up story points, but she remains lore accurate. Her story is overhauled because I find her role in the base game to be extremely disappointing.

There will be a good ending, with a twist of course. There won't be any love story however.

MC won't fight every main boss, only the ones necessary to progress in a certain ending, and also fits to his own back story.

Skipped Main Bosses :

Rennala the Full Moon Queen

Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy

Main Bosses that aren't skipped even if they aren't Mandatory :

Godrick the Grafted

Starscourge Radahn

Mohg, Lord of Blood

Malenia, Blade of Miquella

Dragon Lord Placidusax

The combat won't be the same as the game.... it'd primarily be like Sekiro's combat with Elden Ring's Ashes of War. This is because it's impossible to write good combat using Elden Ring's dodge-roll mechanics alone vanilla's combat is just not nuanced enough.

(Author's Note : Don't worry though, I have countless hours in both games so I understand how to mix the two's combat without seeming out of place.)

And lastly, this story primarily focuses on the Lore aspect of the story as well as character dynamics. You can expect quite a few made up interactions between NPCs and the Tarnished.

Looks like that's everything then, thank you if you took the time to read all of these extra notes. Now, onto the main show!
