SomeElden Ringplayers have been discussing what they wish Patches could sell them from other FromSoftware titles. Given that the trickster makes an appearance in nearly all games developed by the studio, it would not be too far-fetched to see Patches offer a selection of weapons from different worlds inElden Ring.
The vast arsenal of weaponry available to the player inElden Ringis one of its most compelling aspects, enabling an expansive variety of play styles that can keep the experience fresh even after several journeys through the Lands Between. Some of these, such as the Claymore and Zweihander, have featured in previous FromSoftware games but they are expected inclusions for a predominantly melee-focused combat system. However,the Dark Moon Greatsword isElden Ring’s rendition of an iconic weaponthat has been a staple of FromSoftware releases for the past decade, albeit not forSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

But there are so many beloved weapons fromDark Souls,Bloodborne, and evenArmored Corethat would be incredibly fun to try out inElden Ring, a fact confirmed through a thread started by MightyJefro22X on Reddit. The most popular suggestion at the time of writing is a Missile Launcher fromArmored Core, FromSoftware’s third-person mech shooter that could not deviate further fromElden Ring. It is safe to say thateven Malenia would not be capable of withstandingsuch a devastating blow.
One commenter had a weapon they wished to steal from eachDark Soulsinstallment, whichincluded the Greatsword of Artorias, the “Chicken Drumstick,” and Friede’s Great Scythe. The “Chicken Drumstick” refers toDark Souls 2’s Smelter Hammer and has players arguing to this day if it resembles a drumstick or wing more. Some suggestions were meant more as memes than anything else, such as the rather self-explanatory Giant Door Shield fromDark Souls 3.
Bloodbornefans will earnestly argue for its Trick Weaponsto be included in every game and this thread was no exception. Under each Saw Cleaver or Kirkhammer were those pushing for anyBloodborneweapon to make the cut which, while perhaps a little excessive, would certainly bring a whole new dynamic toElden Ring’s combat. Although the hopes and dreams shared will likely not manifest in FromSoftware’s magnum opus, fans can take solace in knowing that new weapons are almost certainly on the way eventually.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
