When players first step out into Limgrave to begin theirElden Ringadventure, they can actually see all of the game’s Divine Towers from the starting point, as pointed out in the Reddit post. TheDivine Towers are important locations inElden Ringif players want to get the most of their boss fight victories, though they aren’t required to actually beat the game.
InElden Ring, beating a boss nets players with a ton of regular runes that they can spend to level up, along with what is called a Great Rune. Great Runes have to be activated by visiting their specific Divine Tower, with six of them featured in the game. TheGreat Runesgive players various bonuses that they can use to make their character that much better, which can in turn make players more efficient when trying to survive in the game world and fight tougher bosses.
There is a conspiracy theory that theElden RingDivine Towers may even hint at future game for the DLC. If one looks at theElden Ringmap, they’ll notice that there’s a large cloud in the center of all the Divine Towers. Fans have speculated thatElden RingDLC may remove the cloudto reveal what’s underneath, and that location will be where players go for the expansion. However, this is purely speculation at this time.Elden RingDLC has not been announced in an official capacity, so fans should keep their expectations in check.
In the meantime, commenters on the Reddit post have noticed that there are some other far-away locations that players can see right at the start of the game, including theForge of the Giants, which is one of the last locations players visit in any given playthrough. It’s a neat detail and shows just how much though FromSoftware put into crafting the game world.
