Exploding flowers and thorns of blood in Elden Ring – Dataminer reveals new spells
Dataminer StrayKurtis has published a new video on his YouTube channel in which he presents various spells from the Elden Ring. And some of them are really fancy.
These spells were discovered: Many weeks have passed since the Elden Ring network test and yet dataminers continue to pull new bits of information out of the client.
YouTuber StrayKurtis has released a new video on his channel featuring a whole host of new spells he found deep within the code of the Elden Ring. You can see the great variety of magic in the new game from FromSoftware.
In addition to the “normal, boring” spells, such as flying, magic bullets or arrows, there are also much more unusual abilities for magic lovers:
- With a spell you can summon magical weapons such as greatswords or hammers, which either consist of lightning and blood or just glow green. These weapons can even perform combos by additionally casting the spells.
- The character can transform into a large flower that will explode after a few seconds, dealing area damage.
- Several different summoning spells depict ghostly knights or skeletons performing their attacks and disappearing again, or a snake of fire exploding multiple times along its length.
- Blood magic can be used to cast thorns on the ground that explode when they reach the enemy.
- There are also classic thunderstorms with lightning and star showers.
You can watch the video here:
Some spells also have elemental properties that can be changed. In the video you can see the magic “Floating Chaos” first without an element and then with frost.
Kurtis says in the video description that it’s far from all the spells he discovered. Rather, he threw together a random selection and uploaded it as a video. But there would be many more
This is the dragon magic: In addition to the “classic” magic, there is also dragon magic in Elden Ring. This differs from normal spells in that it draws on the power of dragons.
For example, you conjure up individual body parts of the dragons, which carry out various attacks against the magician’s enemies. In another, slightly older video by StrayKurtis you can see for example:
- A tail swipe that can be charged for increased damage and range
- A slash with the claw, which can be followed by a second attack
- The bite of a summoned dragon head
- Many different versions of the dragon’s breath that spits frost, blue fire, lava, or lightning
Some spells are still unfinished and lack sound effects, for example. But you can also see from these examples how diverse the magic in Elden Ring is.
Also, it’s not sure if the spells really look the same as in the video. In his reconstruction, Kurtis selected various effects and combined them when they seemed appropriate and harmonized with each other.
Do these spells really come into Elden Ring? This is still datamining the beta version of the game. So there is no guarantee that all of these spells will appear in the final game. In SoulsBorne games in the past, dataminers discovered many discarded concepts such as abilities, outfits and even entire areas or bosses that never appeared in finished games.
So it’s quite possible that fans of some of these spells will never see the light of day, but will remain hidden in the game’s code.
What do you think of the magic in Elden Ring? Are you going to try a Mage build, or do you prefer to stick with the classic sword and shield? Tell us in the comments.
