Afterwards, the night sky is filled with millions of stars and a gargantuan moon, which from the player's perspective, would make the sky more ''normal''. In-universe, however, the stars define destiny and fate, and allowing the stars to move freely again enables people to follow their own fate rather than that defined by the Golden Order.]]

* AllTrollsAreDifferent: The trolls of ''Elden Ring'' are another ancient, sentient species who make the hills and mountains in the Lands Between their home. Appearance wise, they ''really'' go with the "different", having emaciated, stretched-out skin, vaguely ''sunflower'' looking manes of hair, and, most notably, their ''organs'' are exposed, but are giant and noted to be excellent blacksmiths. Trolls have a mixed reputation; they are horribly mistreated and enslaved in some parts Marika's Empire, they are used in the Demigods armies as living siege engines, SmashMook, and beasts of burden, often being seen pulling guarded supply caravans (with giant chains ''impaled'' into their torsos). In others, like the Fiefdom of Caria, trolls are shown to command high respect, and ''knightly'' trolls are encountered. In terms of gameplay they come in many flavors, ranging from Frenzied Trolls, who wear hooded cloaks and cast Frenzied Flame incantations; the aforementioned Troll Knights, elite warriors of the Carian Army knighted and wearing upsized Carian Knight helmets, who can cast magic; and the Trolls in the snowy Mountaintops of the Giants, who are covered in yeti-like white fur and can cast Giantsflame incantations.

* BeefGate: PlayedWith. A good indicator you have wandered into an area you're not supposed to be in yet is when you go to hit a {{Mook}} and do no damage while they take you out in a single hit. That said, bosses very rarely block you from progressing forward; Stormveil Castle, for instance, might seem like it's blocking the way into Liurnia of the Lakes, but you can actually just go around, and Caelid is even easier to wander into. There are also traps and fast travel gates which can teleport you to very high level areas. So in the end, it's the toughness of the mobs which is your best indicator for whether you should stay and fight or get out of Dodge.

The base gear will eventually get replaced, but finding specific gear will take a while without aid. The open-world also invites far more danger to stumble on; facing a world boss who can kill in a single hit is very possible.
