** You can also [[spoiler:betray Ranni right at the end of her questline after she has grown affectionate toward the player by attacking her before she leaves. She will sadly say that perhaps she deserves it for falling for delusion....i.e that someone might care enough about her ,despite her sins she has admitted, to join with her. You can just hear her heart break.]]

You inflict blood loss on yourself in exchange for a boost to your physical damage and increased blood loss buildup on your attacks.

** On a less main story related note, it's never explained what the hell those utterly ''titanic'' skeletons seen in Caelid and the Mountaintops of the Giants are or what beings they belonged to - judging from the remains alone, they would have dwarfed every single living being in the game, from the Fire Giants, to the Ancient Dragons, effectively being as big as mountains.

** What is the deal with the Oracle Envoys, and what's under their head wrappings? Their AI is named [=MoonServant=] which might indicate a connection to the Moons, and their oracle bubbles imply a connection to the Claymen, but even in universe no one has the answer.
** Some of the ruins in the game, like the Uhl Palace Ruins, the Grand Cloister, the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, and those steles you light to summon the Ancestor Spirits, all clearly belong to the same civilization, called the Ancient Dynasty in a few item descriptions. This civilization had its own distinct architecture with a stylistic shift that shows it was around for a long time, and the scattered nature of the surviving ruins shows it must have controlled a ''lot'' of territory at its peak. And yet the game says basically nothing about it, save that it existed and the Claymen search for its oracles in their bubbles. Most interestingly, all of these sites have large examples of identical statues: a bearded, robed man, carrying a tablet and with another tablet (which, if you look closely enough, is actually [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_Map_of_the_World the Babylonian Map of the World]]) at his feet. This man was clearly an important figure, and probably central to their religion, but the game contains no hint as to his identity.

This is incorrect fanon. There are piles of corpses all over the map and Miyazaki has explicitly stated in interviews that Tarnish revive because of Grace, not the Rune of Death, and that this form of resurrection is unique to them. Tons of characters explicitly die as do entire armies.

In particular, the Rune of Destined Death is not currently part of the Elden Ring, meaning ''nothing'' stays dead. This is why the Shattering continued for so long; no army could kill any others, so the conflict raged on until all the unliving resources, like forts and cities, were reduced to the ruins they are now.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Not the game or any of its bosses themselves, but several of the questlines during the game's initial launch were inexplicably truncated or outright missing. This was soon rectified in a patch, and they all are now doable:
** Nepheli Loux's questline effectively ended with her depressed and dejected after Gideon would disown her for attacking his men, with the only option of giving her questline any conclusion being [[DownerEnding making her drink Seluvis' drug and turning her into his slave puppet]], as even if you've had the item that allowed her quests to progress for the actual positive ending, she simply would not react to it. This also meant that Kenneth Haight's questline was undoable, and he'd simply sit in his castle waiting for a new heir for the rest of the game.
** Jar Bairn was ''completely DummiedOut'' at launch - which meant not only that its own quest was undoable, but that Diallos' quest effectively ended rather anticlimactically at Volcano Manor, as reaching Jarsburg was the final step and he just would not do it.
