The giant, five-fingered hand doesn't appear anywhere in Elden Ring, sure, but it appears to just be an amalgamation of the models for the Two Fingers and the Three Fingers, both characters you can meet at different points in the actual game. The first half of the ending, with Marika, is exactly the same as other endings. So how did this cutscene get put together then? Garden didn't respond to our request for comment in time, but from Zullie's background info and discussion in Garden's community Discord it's not too hard to piece together. Not only are there no text prompts or cutscene files for it in the game's files, but other ending subtitles apparently have similar alternate text versions that aren't used, so there's precedent.įurthermore, Zullie says, the 'Usher the Age Absolute' prompt shown in the video Garden posted doesn't actually exist in the game's files. However, Zullie believes this is an alternate reading of the same line, rather than a separate ending. As Elden Ring dataminer ZullietheWitch tells IGN, among the other files for ending subtitles is a subtitle for 'The Age Absolute,' immediately following 'The Age of Order' - which is one of the endings you can get through normal gameplay.

There actually is some precedent for people believing in an 'Age Absolute' hidden ending.
