Outside of Elden Ring’s versatile character creator, customization finds so much potential within the items, armor, and weapons scattered throughout the Lands Between. With hundreds of pieces to a puzzle that is never truly finished, manifesting the perfect outfit is a delicate process that necessitates constant iteration from those dedicated enough. The results are more often than not spectacular, with Elden Ring players having created anyone from God of War’s Kratos to Morgan Freeman’s interpretation of God. God of War is a frequent source of inspiration for role-playing across gaming and Elden Ring is no exception.

In an image uploaded to Reddit by Sensitive_Pie_5371, the Tarnished presented does little to conceal their appreciation for God of War, with a perfect caption that reads “Blaidd’s of chaos.” It is a pun on the legendary Blades of Chaos, the chained and fire-imbued weapon seared into gaming consciousness, and is jokingly used to describe the featured player.

Equipped with the Black Wolf Mask, the Tarnished essentially dons the appearance of Blaidd, a half-man, half-wolf custodian of Ranni the Witch. To represent the Blades of Chaos, the player is dual-wielding Beastman Cleavers, the heaviest Curved Greatswords in the game, which can inflict damage worthy of a weapon once burnt into the flesh of Kratos. With Radahn’s Gauntlets, Greaves, and the Zamor Armor, the God of War-inspired Blaidd lookalike seems as if he has endured more than a few battles against Valkyries.

Comments complimented the design and inquired about the enemies to farm in Crumbling Farum Azula to create it, but most were present to make comedy around Blaidd’s name. Beyblaidd was mentioned more than a few times and BlaiddRunner did not go without an inclusion, but one person intended to offer a slight correction. Opening with the recognition that it was a joke, they went on to detail their surprise at just “how many people mispronounce Blaidd’s name.” The pun is inviting readers to say “Blade,” but the Welsh origin of the name would mean “Blythe” is more accurate. A shame that Kratos does not own a scythe to rhyme it with.

Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
