The Elden Ring intro script, delivered with religious fervor by an unnamed narrator, serves as a vital "lore dump" that sets the stage for your journey as a Tarnished in the Lands Between. It outlines key events like the shattering of the Elden Ring and the subsequent war, while highlighting influential characters like Godfrey and Gideon Ofnir. This opening cinematic effectively establishes the game's dark fantasy world, introducing the player to the central conflict and their role in determining the future of the Lands Between.
