Elden Ring Player Makes Character Look Like Kratos From God Of War

FromSoftware has made a lot of great video games over the years, from the Dark Souls series to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Its newest title, Elden Ring, has become one of the biggest video games in the world right now. While Elden Ring’s combat system is a lot of fun and its open world is beautiful, the game also provides players many options when it comes to making their character.

A Reddit user named DidioBrando took inspiration from God of War to show what Kratos would look like if he was in Elden Ring. From his face to his clothes, DidioBrando did a fantastic job at bringing Kratos to life in Elden Ring, with many God of War fans liking the post. Some of them even asked DidioBrando what he used to make Kratos, showing interest in wanting to play as the God of War as well.

When starting on their journey, Elden Ring players are able to choose from 10 classes: Vagabond, Warrior, Hero, Bandit, Astrologer, Prophet, Samurai, Prisoner, Confessor, and Wretch, all of which have their own stats and weapons. After that, they get to pick their name, body type, age, origin, and most importantly, keepsake, which has nine options to choose from: Crimson Amber Medallion, Lands Between Rune, Golden Seed, Fanged Imp Ashes, Cracked Pot, Stonesword Key, Bewitching Branch, Boiled Prawn, and Shabriri’s Woe. Each keepsake gives players an advantage, such as more health or runes. Once players choose a class and a keepsake, they are able to make their character look however they want.

While gamers have a lot of fun playing Elden Ring and seeing what other players make their characters look like, fans of God of War can be excited knowing that a new game in the franchise is coming soon. God of War: Ragnarok is expected to release later this year on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. While fans wait for it to come out, it is awesome to see Elden Ring players make Kratos and play with him until then.

Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Reddit user MediumSatisfaction1 recently posted a photo to the Elden Ring subreddit showing their Kratos avatar. The image shows Kratos’ with his classic weapons and armor, his jet black beard, and his war paint. The picture was taken in what looks to be Limgrave, the first area that players discover in The Lands Between. Many fans were quick to comment, praising the creation of Kratos or mentioning projects that they are working on, including characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Game of Thrones.

Of course, the appearance of characters doesn’t alter combat in any way. The combat in Elden Ring is based on skill, abilities, and weapons rather than character aesthetics or inherent strength. That doesn’t mean that the Kratos character in Elden Ring is any less impressive, however. The fact that the Elden Ring community is capable of manipulating the title’s tools in such interesting ways demonstrates not only how creative players are but how dedicated fans of the game can be. As more people discover the title and create their own avatars, hopefully players will see new and equally impressive characters.

Though many players have yet to beat Elden Ring, the title isn’t only about besting the main boss. For the first time, From Software has emphasized exploration, creation, and creativity in tandem with gameplay. With this doesn’t mean that its previous titles were worse, the positive reception of Elden Ring may indicate that players want more opportunities to forge their own journeys in the future. Though there is no way of knowing what will come next to The Lands Between, fans can find solace in the community that has already taken their passion for the title to incredible heights.

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