The lore of Elden Ring is so big and so complex it’s hard to follow everything that is happening in the game with every one of its characters.
For those of you wondering what the hell is going in FromSoftware’s epic open-world fantasy action RPG, there’s an awesome 500-page book that will offer you details on the entire lore of Elden Ring.
Grace Given: The Mythology of Elden Ring comes from Geoff ‘SmoughTown’ Truscott, who is the same person who previously created a 35-hour video series attempting to cover all of the action RPG’s lore.
In the book, SmoughTown will provide a “comprehensive deep dive into the mythology underpinning Miyazaki’s latest masterpiece.”
The book is not officially endorsed by FromSoftware or Bandai Namco, so SmoughTown took a lot of time to do all the homework and research so the rest of us don’t have to.
The book will also be filled with illustrations from artists Shimhaq, MenasLG, Chris Lewis Lee, and Elliott Wells, and even has gold page gilding on the edges, to varying degrees. It all depends on how much you’re willing to spend.
To pre-order the cheapest version of the book, which is dubbed the ‘collector’s edition,’ it’ll cost you $279.
Then there as ‘limited edition,’ which will set you back $773.
Finally, the version of the book the rules them all, the ‘benefactor’s edition,’ you’ll have to drop $1,104!
The more expensive versions of the book both have gold edge gilding on all three edges of the pages rather than just one, and they also come with a wooden slipcase rather than a flocked velvet one.
Additionally, the book itself is “bound in genuine leather, Ivory Flanders Grain” rather than the faux white leather of the cheaper version, although the size and page count is the same.
Those who buy either the limited or benefactor’s edition will also receive a signed and numbered collectible art print by Shimhaq, and as the final perk for the benefactor’s edition, your name will be printed on the back of all editions going forward.
If you want to buy one, you can pre-order it here.
