Since it first released a little over a month ago, players have actively discovered a multitude of content withinElden Ring. From weapons and armor sets, to meticulously detailed locations, to optional boss fights,Elden Ringhas a lot to offer its player base in terms of how the game can be individually approached. However, those looking to optimize armor based purely on stats might end up with a strange-looking player character.
One of the hallmark features of FromSoftware titles is the variance in armor sets. Each piece of armor possesses individual stats that vary depending on the equipment in question. While titles likeBloodbornetend to have much more aesthetically pleasing armor sets,Elden Ringfeatures many armor sets that are reminiscent to sets featured in theDark Soulsseries. As one player recently found out, mismatching armor sets can make the player character look absolutely bizarre.

Over onReddit, a user named Craft_zeppelin posted a screenshot of their in-game character wearing a mismatched set of armor, complete with a pig mask and a gigantic piece of torso armor shaped like a pot. If not for certain aesthetic characteristics and set decorations in the background, this likely would have been mistaken for the Winged Night armor inDark Souls 3.
For how ridiculous this character might look, this is honestly something that players should expect when trying to optimize armor, especially when it comes to different kinds of builds. Therefore, there will be innate sets of armor and weapons geared towards certain builds, whether that’smagic builds, intelligent builds, or faith builds.
It’s amazing to see just how much popularityElden Ringhas achieved in such a short timeframe. It could simply be due to how much hypeElden Ringreceived in the years leading up to its release or the involvement thatGeorge R.R. Martin has had with the story ofElden Ring. Either way, several players have certainly been enjoying their time with the game, as evidenced by all of these different stat builds.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forElden Ringgoing forward. While there have been rumors about potential DLC forElden Ring,nothing has been confirmed yet. It’s also important for fans to keep in mind that not every FromSoftware game has received paid DLC, such as games likeDemon’s SoulsandSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Elden Ringis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
