Elden Ring Nightreign has a super rare item you may have never seen before, and players are still confused about its true purpose

Elden Ring Nightreg It's been out for over two months now, which means players have enough time to solve and remove all their knowledge. However, there is still a very rare item in the game that most players may never see before, but some in the community think there is still a huge secret: the end of the rope.

If you play Nightreign, and like me, don't even know what it was until now, this is the disassembly: the rope end is a legendary consumable, only appearing in the large chapel at night, from the broken box. Its percentage drop is very low – only 0.035% – meaning most players may never encounter it. The purpose it lists is secret: “Get entry somewhere”. If you don't know where somewhere is, the project is totally useless to you.

But for those who knowOr those who follow our convenient guide), it is not difficult to discover the secret door it opens. Hidden on the cliff wall in the ravine in the center of the map, there is a sealed entrance that can only be opened if there is a wire end on your hand. Inside is a strange statue, a statue of a girl, and three sacrificial branches, allowing Wielder to die precisely without losing runes or level amulets. It's an interesting reward to be sure, but surely, given the ridiculous rarity of the rope ends you need to get them.

Now, awarded, this may at least part of the mystery of Cord End is the addition of legendary details to Elden Ring Nightreign through its description and the statue of the girl in the interior. We won't introduce it here because the meaning behind it is very deep into the spoiler realm of night games, but Legend YouTuber Requirements From a legendary point of view, what is the rope end and why it matters.

But it all says that for such a rare discovery, the lack of real mechanical rewards, has left the players speculating that there is more to this secret goal. for The last two monthsthe community has been testing theories around rope ends and sacrifice branches. Secret hunting has basically slowed down due to the lack of any new or recent clues, but a secret post on Nightcrawler's Subreddit recently has once again sparked curiosity for everyone, and has inspired new theories about how to do…thing with those twigs.

The biggest obstacle to finding anything is the rarity at the end of the rope. Some players are reporting See their first one After hundreds of hours of playing. So anyone who wants to test the theory must be very lucky to actually get the rope end and then get the exact perfect other situations they are looking for (specific bosses, certain positions appear, certain characters in certain characters, etc.) to test whatever they want to test. So while it is unlikely to discover anything new at the end of the wire at this stage, there is at least a possibility, as few people can start to discover this discovery.

Is it a secret? Is it just a legend? As some theorized, will it be able to unlock in future DLC? Who knows! But what’s really cool here is that in the months since the game was released, a super rare item is still igniting that level of curiosity, discussion and mystery. Whether there are deeper ends of the rope or not, its tempting rarity is enough to at least be inspired…if I could throw one down.

We gave Elden Ring Nightreign 7/10, and he said: “When Elden Ring Nightreign plays exactly as it was designed to play, it was one of the best examples of a three-player collaboration game, but it was harder to do than it should and it played poorly.” I recently saw the addition of two-player modethe game has Five million copies sold As of July.
