Description:
Frodo and Sam's journey across Middle-earth has been meticulously recreated
by one Elden Ring player.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It was only a matter of time before the sprawling world of Elden Ring was mashed into the epic fantasy universe of The Lord of the Rings and now that time has come. Frodo and Sam have taken up residence in the Lands Between as one intrepid player has recreated their journey from the Shire to Mordor.

Re-enacting various moments of Tolkiens novels within Elden Ring , TikTokker pi1cklel0ver has cut together a montage of the Hobbits travels across Middle-earth. Theyve dressed themself and a buddy to look like Sam and Frodo, recreated various classic moments of the books, and thrown in a bunch of enemies that look like the kind of monsters you might find in Middle-earth.

Its a surprisingly accurate re-enactment of the Hobbits journey and touches
on almost every major location they reach. We can spot them leaving
Rivendell, camping by a fire with lembas bread, and hiding from a Nazgl. Later, Sam attacks Shelob to save a catatonic Frodo, the pair hide from Saurons Eye (fittingly substituted for the Frenzy-Flaming Tower), and take a rest in the belly of Mount Doom. As an extra touch, Frodos shortsword Sting
is even shown glowing bright blue; there must be orcs around.

It looks like the location of each scene has been carefully chosen to match the look and feel of Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and while some shots left us a little confused, we were able to tell what the vast majority were trying to portray on our first viewing. Throw in the classic music of The Shire and the whole piece really comes together. @p1cklel0verr

As fans on Reddit were quick to point out, its not surprising that the world of Elden Ring works so well as a backdrop to Middle-earth. Its landscapes
look to take more than a few cues from the sprawling world of Tolkiens
classic series of novels.

George R.R. Martin, who contributed to Elden Rings world-building, has also spoken fondly of The Lord of the Rings in the past. Hes noted Tolkiens influence on his own fantasy writing, so its little surprise some of that spirit bled into FromSoftwares action RPG.

I revere Lord of the Rings, I reread it every few years, it had an enormous effect on me as a kid, Martin told The Guardian several years ago. In some sense, when I started [A Song of Ice and Fire] I was replying to Tolkien, but even more to his modern imitators.

Lord of the Rings isnt the only beloved franchise to make its way into Elden Ring. One player discovered how to turn themselves into a Sith Lord with a specific combination of Incantations, Sorceries, and cosmetics.
