In an unusual and festive venture, one dedicated player Elden Ring has embarked on a unique mission to transform the vast game world of Between-Earth into a Christmas wonder by donning themed clothing and hosting in-game events to spread holiday cheer. The initiative fills the void left by the lack of official Christmas events, a common feature in games like Baldur’s Gate 3, which has its own advent calendar marking the end of the year.
Known for its unwavering loyalty, the Elden Ring community continually impresses with its creative endeavors. The abundance of mods for Elden Ring indicates the active participation of players. With the upcoming DLC still months away, the community continues to look for alternative ways to keep the game fun, and this latest fan-made Christmas initiative showcases such innovative efforts.
In a recent post, Redditor ParryWeasel presented his original concept for celebrating the holiday season with fellow exiles. The video begins with the player changing his in-game name from “Crypt-Diver Kip” to “O Cryptmas Tree” using the Clouded Mirror Stand, which perfectly matches the thematic essence of his project, along with wearing a Shining Horn headdress that resembles deer Santa. The player then enters multiplayer, initiating the holidays by placing rainbow stones in a circle, symbolizing the colorful palette of the holidays.
Seeing other players join in on the fun adds a touching dimension, especially when the player uses Fia’s Haze to create a mesmerizing hazy effect around a glowing circle of rainbow stones. Although not all players supported the initiative, preferring to attack, the most remarkable moment of the video is when the enemy turns into an ally. Initially hostile, the opponent changes approach upon seeing the player’s peaceful holiday ritual. Once he gets into the spirit, he generously throws in a few fully upgraded weapons as gifts. The player acknowledges this act of kindness by showing clips of people joyfully receiving Christmas gifts, adding a warm, community feel to the story.
The atmosphere changes dramatically when this fairy-tale land turns into a battlefield, the player and his opponent come to blows. Even though the player doesn’t respond in kind, his strategy leads to an unexpectedly fitting ending. Constantly using Fia’s Haze, they cause the enemy to accumulate plague, resulting in their sudden death.
Fans were captivated by this fairytale ending, where the opponent, overcome by the plague near the rainbow stones, is visually transformed into a tree, reminiscent of the image of a Christmas tree.
