Elden Ring LEAK: Every Gameplay Detail You Need To Know
3. Levelling Up And Limb Currency System
As ever, levelling up will play a big part in Elden Ring. If rumours are to be believed, this time around you'll be collecting the limbs of your enemies instead of their souls!
In the leak, the anonymous poster states that the currency in the game is limbs. You will get 1 limb for every enemy you kill, with an example being that 1 limb would be akin to 250 souls in Dark Souls.
Bosses are said to have their own unique limbs, much like in Dark Souls where they have special souls to acquire. You'll find these special limbs only in kingdom boss battles, and once you've got them, you can take them an NPC known as the Elven Queen, who'll give you 'a unique ability that will greatly assist you.'
While it isn't referenced in the leak, you have to wonder if this means there'll be a limb targeting system, like you'll find in the Souls-alike series, The Surge. Being able to target and chop off an enemies' limbs strategically will bring a whole other layer to combat in this series.
The theme of limbs as seen in the image above was prevalent in the games' announcement trailer, so this seems to be a logical rumour.
