A spear-ited investigation
We just got a newShadow Of The Erdtreestory trailer yesterday.
This is all a distraction.
You’re likely confused, and that’s understandable.
As the foremost authorityon ephemeral nonsenseinElden Ring, Im the only one who has your back here.
If you look closely, youll notice single bloke with an axe.
This is what tipped me off, you see.
Its meant to convince us the spear people arent taking over, but I know better.
After a close-up shot of another soldier pulling his - you guessed it - spear from a corpse.
Were treated to this telling shot:
Its like theyre not even trying to hide it anymore!
Look at the corpse!
Also, look at how uniform the formation is.
In spear-ish, this code translates to: Look at all these spears!
Which is a sort of bullish rallying cry meant to reinforce notions of spear-iority.
Heres the next shot:
Yes, Messmer, the DLCs new antagonist, I know, I know.
But whats that hes got clutched in his hand?
Its spears all the way down!
