In a recent exploration of the enigmatic giants featured in Elden Ring Nightreign, Zullie the Witch, a well-known dataminer from FromSoftware, has unveiled some astonishing details. These colossal figures, which loom ominously in the distance, have been measured at an impressive height of 3,450 meters, translating to just over two miles tall. This makes them the largest entities ever encountered in a Soulsborne game, surpassing even the Dragon God from Demon’s Souls and the infamous big rope man from Sekiro.
Unprecedented Scale
To put their size into perspective, Zullie notes that if extrapolated into full bodies, even the largest monsters from previous titles would barely reach their knees. The scale of these giants is more comparable to the Erdtree itself, a significant landmark within Elden Ring. For further context, the RLA Strider, another massive entity in the FromSoftware universe, measures an astounding 4,953 meters in length—over three miles long.
Moreover, a fascinating piece of set dressing that was once intended to be a boss fight has emerged in the form of the Planetary Enclosure satellite from Armored Core 6. This behemoth stands at 5.9 kilometers tall and spans over 11 kilometers in width, originally conceived as a formidable challenge before being scrapped during development. Interestingly, the NPC version of this satellite is notably smaller than the colossal “object” version that players encounter in the final game.
Despite their monumental presence, the narrative surrounding these giants remains shrouded in mystery. The final cutscene of Nightreign suggests they play a pivotal role in the overarching story, yet they are neither named nor explicitly referenced within the game itself. This ambiguity is a hallmark of FromSoftware’s storytelling style, leaving players to ponder the significance of these colossal figures.
For those intrigued by the depths of FromSoftware’s lore and eager for more insights, Zullie the Witch’s YouTube channel offers a treasure trove of deep dives and esoteric content related to the studio’s expansive universe.
