Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree: Volume 1

Product Information

I say that because many might come to think that it's some fan-made nonsense, because the tone of the manga will probably take most Elden Ring fans by surprise. The fact that they made the main character a __player__, I don't know if it plays in favor of or against the manga. They break the 4th wall and make it clear that the tarnished main character is a player like us. He doesn't know why he's here and wants to "level up", etc., yet there's no indication that it's a game. I don't know how to feel about it, maybe it'll tie well with the game, but I'm sure it'll make people feel more immersed in some sense because it reflect actual player thoughts during the game.

But this manga plays on that, with a hopeless and clueless hero struggling to get to grips with the dark fantasy world. I expected and would have liked it to be an actual canon and serious manga, but it's not the end of the world.

ELDEN RING 黄金樹への道 ; Elden Ring: Ougonju e no Michi ; Elden Ring: Der Weg zum Erdenbaum ; ELDEN RING 黃金樹之路 ; Кольцо Элден: Дорога к древу Эрд The game received a comedy manga adaptation called Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, and it has also been adapted into a board game by Steamforged Games called Elden Ring: The Board Game. There's actual references to __gameplay strategy__ (i.e. using soap consummable) and __building your character__ (building strength or int). Eurogamer.net is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. The art is 100% faithful to the game (below is an actual picture I took ingame, versus the first pannel).

It's a manga drawn and written by Nikiichi Tobita and it's an officially licensed product by Bandai/FromSoftware, published by Yen Press. The manga comes courtesy of Kadokawa - FromSoftware's parent company and a huge publisher of manga. If you would like an Elden Ring adaptation to be faithful to the game's tone (serious), you might be disappointed as I am. However if you like how something very serious can be turned into light-hearted banter, you'll probably like it a lot, especially if you played the game yourself. Nikiichi Tobita is responsible for the artwork, known for creating the manga A Cursed Sword's Daily Life. Un hombre sin luz, Aseo, ha sido arrojado a Necrolimbo, una tierra intermedia hundida en la pobreza extrema. Frente a la dureza de las tierras intermedias, una chica misteriosa, Melina, se acerca al desmotivado Aseo para ofrecerle un trato: seguir la guía de la Gracia y dirigirse hacia el Árbol Áureo.There are references to the __items__ the NPCs actually give you ingame (i.e. Margit giving you the pouch for expanding your talisman slots or the crafting kit and cookbook you get from the first merchant) and it also explains what it does. There's like an embedded __tutorial__. This is a unique take on the popular masterpiece elden ring and it takes a comedy approach n thats pretty cool tbf So far the story is really good, I'm honestly enjoying it and I already want an anime adaptation of this. I like that they went for a comedy manga because when I played the game, the NPCs' dialogues are funny af. "Marika's Tits! you must be hungry" - boggart LOL.
