10 Secret Details That Answer HUGE Video Game Questions
7. Radahn's Tiny Horse - Elden Ring (2022)
Set within the vast Lands Between, FromSoftware’s masterful Elden Ring is as full of difficult battles as it is cryptic secrets.
From dozens of punishing bosses that players will come up against throughout their journey to become Elden Lord, it’s Starscourge Radahn who's often cited as being one of the toughest. Equipped with two gigantic swords and able to inflict massive damage with powerful magic, beating this behemoth is far from easy.
Once you see him though, players may be wondering why this boss gallops around on a horse that's comically too small for such a hulking frame. Although this detail can be written off as another of FromSoftware’s design quirks, looking further into the game unveils a surprisingly heartfelt answer to this question.
Like the rest of the developer’s games, much of the lore can be found hidden within item descriptions. Read the text for the Remembrance of the Starscourage, which is acquired after beating this optional boss, and players will learn that the gargantuan foe learned gravitational magic “so he would never have to abandon his beloved steed," who's named Leonard in the game's files.
It’s tiny details like this that help make this game so incredible.
