Not Godwyn, the Most Hideous Giant Corpse of Elden Ring Still Has No Explanation

Elden Ring is considered one of the greatest video games in the entire history of gaming. The title literally provides you with the OG Soulsborne gameplay experience with one of the most complex lore and an open world that can’t be found in any other game.

One of the core aspects of Elden Ring is that it leaves a lot of information up to the interpretation of the players, where instead of just outright telling you what happened, they will give you little to no information about it at all. While there are a lot of things that are left unexplained, what perplexes players the most is the giant skeletons that are found around the map. Let’s delve deeper into them.

Elden Ring is riddled with enigmatic lore and countless mysteries

Elden Ring is an action-adventure role-playing game that was released back in 2022. The game is made by FromSoftware, who are notorious for their high difficulty and environmental storytelling, especially through the use of flavor texts (like item descriptions). The game has sold more than 30 million copies since its release, and a new spin-off is set to release on May 30.

Although there are lots of unexplained elements in the game, Elden Ring features these giant skeletons throughout the map that have made a lot of players look through wikis and guides without any sort of concrete proof of why they are there. In the game, they are known as Colossal Remains and can be found in a variety of locations, with the most prominent one being in Caelid.

According to the speculations going around on the internet, these Colossal Remains are skeletal vestiges of a long-extinct species of giants, whose size surpassed the trolls and even the Fire Giant from the game. While the Caelid skeletons are much more visible because of their deeply overgrown roots and thick fungal growth, these giants can also be found in the Mountaintops of the Giants, but are fully exposed.

The most hideous Colossal Remains can be found just north of Sellia, Town of Sorcery, and while some say that these super giants are remnants of the war between the dragons and the giants, some suggest that these are giants who are being born from the scarlet rot, which is rotting cycle of decay and rebirth.

FromSoftware might have just added those skeletons because they looked cool

In the end, the presence of these massive skeletons across the Lands Between does more than just raise questions for the players to endlessly follow. They breathe life into the world of Elden Ring and hint at a past so vast and forgotten that even the characters in the game have no clue why the remains are actually there.

This feeling of stepping foot on something that existed long before you were there, and something that will continue to exist even after you’re long gone, is exactly why players keep coming back to this game. Not just for answers, but also to feel like they are part of something *******.

While all these fan theories with wars against dragons, and ancient races being rebirthed by scarlet rot do sound fun, maybe the skeleton remains are there just because Hidetaka Miyazaki thought that it looked cool, and honestly, that is what makes Elden Ring special, it’s a game where even a half-buried giant skeleton can bring out stories.
