Ensha of the Royal Remains or Ensha is certainly an Elden Ring NPC players might not be aware of in their first playthrough. Standing outside the room where Sir Gideon Ofnir often can be found, Ensha doesn’t speak to the player, and instead he just stares at them until they move away. This doesn’t change, and Ensha doesn’t have any quest tied to him or dialogue options that pop up. However, later on in Elden Ring Ensha does appear in the Roundtable Hold as an invader that the player has to defeat.

One Elden Ring player, known as rishylefishe over on Reddit, recently discovered that Ensha does appear at another location, namely on the game’s cover art. He is located in the bottom left corner, and is lying down, possibly having been defeated or killed. This led to another user in the comments known as Ashen_Shroom elaborating on the discovery, stating that all the bodies on Elden Ring’s cover art represent an NPC.

Specifically, all the NPCs on the cover art represent a Tarnished that, like the player, is also seeking to be Elden Lord. The only character that hasn’t fallen in their search of this title is in the centre of the box art and is Festering Fingerprint Vyke. Vyke is the Tarnished in Elden Ring who came closest to becoming Elden Lord before the player, and ended up becoming a servant of the Flame of Frenzy. Like Ensha, Vyke can also be fought as an invader in Elden Ring, but there is another occasion when he can be battled in the Mountaintops of the Giants.

The discovery of Ensha on the game’s cover art shows another neat detail put into Elden Ring’s lore by FromSoftware, as it displays how all the Tarnished are looking for the same goal, but only one can eventually reach the seat of Elden Lord. It also means that lesser-known characters like Ensha have a connection to the player beyond just popping in as an invader once they reach a certain point.

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