Change "Elden Ring was both a critical and commercial success, winning several Game of the Year awards" To "Elden Ring was both a critical and commercial success, it holds the record for most Game of the Year awards" YouSnooze ( talk) 00:18, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Here is a source for the claim that it has received this title. This happened to day and more stories are likely to follow, but this is seemingly a reliable source which backs their reporting up with a link to the research done to calculate this. Yasuda Sayo ( talk) 01:53, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
The Wiki mentions that Elden Ring was the 10th best selling game for Europe when the source links to the United Kingdom, it was the 10th best selling PHSYICAL game in the UK.

The image showcasing the player fighting a dragon is very low quality. I checked the source from which it is taken from, and the original image is 1080p. Someone may be able to replace the image with the higher quality version; I am not sure how to, since I'm new to Wikipedia editing. thanks Jeeves00 ( talk) 23:24, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Under the section Gameplay, a sentence ends with "...swap ashes of war, or walk to using fast travel."
This is unclear. Perhaps it means "swap ashes of war, or walk to another site of grace by using fast travel."
More clear would be "ashes of war, or fast travel to a site of grace that has been discovered." 2603:301D:1E0C:8000:C051:30CE:D405:A7D1 ( talk) 16:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
While this shouldnt become voluminous, recommend expanding the plot to at least touch on all six endings, ala a bulleted list, as the endings are so wildly different that its warrants at least a few words for each.
Also, hows there no mention of the DLC anywhere as of yet? Brinlong ( talk) 19:53, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Radagon does not possess Marika's body, they are two personalities in a single body, there's a hidden statue that literally carries the message "Radagon is Marika." Maybe alter-ego is not the most appropriate word on this as they might act in conflict with each other (Marika shatters the Elden Ring and Radagon tries fixing it) but "possess" is even more wrong.
As for the Ranni's ending change, her dialogue makes it clear:
私の律は、黄金ではない。星と月、冷たい夜の律だ
“My order will not be of gold, but of the stars and moon, and chill night.”
…私はそれを、この地から遠ざけたいのだ
“…I want to keep it far away from this land.”
生命と魂が、律と共にあるとしても、それは遥かに遠くにあればよい
“…Even if life and souls are one with the order, it (the order) could be kept far away.”
確かに見ることも、感じることも、信じることも、触れることも …すべて、できない方がよい
“If it was not possible to clearly see, feel, believe in, or touch the order… That would be better.”
and
To every living being, and every living soul.
Now cometh the age of the stars. A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the Moon

I recommend adding a section for the DLC that will becoming out in a few months. There is now an official trailer, images, characters and additional information that could be mentioned in the mean time. Phlogistonatorspam ( talk) 17:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Was wondering if this was fine to add since information about the dlc has come out and from the looks of the six endings there isn't much information jot down. I recommend adding the main bosses lore since it is so pivotal to the storyline and including descriptions of speed run tactics on the game. ~~~~ IAintReadingALLThat ( talk) 23:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
I was planning on making some edits to include information about the three other endings not mentioned in the current synopsis of the plot: - Blessing of Despair Ending: Mending Rune of the Fell Curse (Dung Eater) - Age of Order: Mending Rune of Perfect Order (Goldmask) - Age of the Duskborn: Mending Rune of the Death-Prince (Fia)
I believe such an edit makes sense to make. Bellbearinghunter ( talk) 01:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
I think making some edits to improve clarity regarding Great Rune collection would make improvements. Currently, the synopsis states: "The Hold's benefactor, the Two Fingers, instructs the Tarnished to collect the Great Runes and bring them to the Erdtree, where they can be used to repair the Elden Ring.".
This current analysis is fairly misleading as it implies that all Great Runes must be collected by the player to repair the Elden Ring. This is not the case as the player needs only 3 Great Runes to complete the game. Those being Morgott's Great Rune, and any two preceding Great Runes to get there. Beyond that, the player may complete the game without the collection of another great rune. Bellbearinghunter ( talk) 02:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Almost every game has a speed run dedicated to it, so creating a section describing the current tactics, players, and times for Elden Ring speed runs would be relevant to the game and category. Many glitches are related to Elden Ring speed runs, which are also relevant to every game. Thus, adding a section related to notable glitches within the Elden Ring would also be feasible.
