10 Terrifying Secrets In Open World Games

Much like the worlds in FromSoftware’s other Soulsborne titles, the Lands Between in Elden Ring is a place of decay and ruin. From the swamps of Scarlet Rot, dank underground dungeons, and the monstrous enemies that dwell there, players will discover plenty of unpleasant sights on their quest to become Elden Lord.

No part of this game embodies its world’s grim nature better than the Grafted Scions. Created by Godrick The Grafted, these creatures are grotesque, multi-limbed monsters made of various body parts that have been crudely stuck together.

This is the very first enemy players face in the game, but because of how quickly this fight ends and the fact that this boss wears a cloak, players are unable to get a good look at it.

However, by hacking the camera and removing the garment, fans have discovered a terrifying secret.

Alongside the masses of twisted flesh and malformed limbs, the most unnerving aspect about the Grafted Scion is that it has the youthful face of a child. Given that the child wears a crown and has iconography of the golden lineage on their weapons, the sinister implication is that Godric experimented on his young descendants to turn them into these abominations.

This was a bleak revelation even for Elden Ring.
