One of Elden Ring’s top sleuths has already unmasked its new DLC characters
FromSoftware dataminer Zullie the Witch has examined the two NPC invaders introduced in Elden Ring’s Tarnished Edition DLC, identifying apparent links to earlier characters and enemy designs. The findings matter to fans because they suggest the new content deliberately revisits visual motifs from Dark Souls 2 and may clarify an otherwise obscured Elden Ring character.
Knight Leontiel closely resembles Dark Souls 2’s Lucatiel of Mirrah, sharing her armour, weapon style and a facial burn mark over the left eye. Noble Broken Mask has pale gold eyes and facial features resembling Elden Ring’s perfumer enemies, leading to speculation that he may indicate how Goldmask was intended to look beneath his mask. Zullie also published character-creation slider settings so players can recreate both NPCs.
In short
- New DLC invaders appear to reference older FromSoftware characters.
- Leontiel strongly resembles Dark Souls 2’s Lucatiel.
- Broken Mask may reveal Goldmask’s intended appearance.
Explained simply
Elden Ring is a fantasy role-playing game made by FromSoftware, the Japanese studio behind the Dark Souls series. Players explore a large world, fight enemies and uncover its history through dialogue, objects and visual clues.
The game’s downloadable content adds new material, including non-player characters who can appear as hostile invaders. Fans often compare their designs with earlier characters and enemies to look for connections. These comparisons can suggest deliberate references, but visual similarities alone do not confirm a shared identity or backstory.
