** "Behold, jumping!" / "Praise the jumping!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] As a mechanic carried over from ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'', ''Elden Ring'' features jumping as an action that can be performed with the press of a button, making it the first, truly ''Dark Souls''-like installment to avert the InsurmountableWaistHighFence problem that has plagued previous ''Soulsborne'' games. Upon release, many players took advantage of this new mechanic by placing messages on top of various waist-high objects and obstacles, which either praise From Software for finally adding something as mundane as a jumping mechanic, or jokingly treat the very act of jumping itself as a [[EurekaMoment ground-breaking discovery or revelation]].[[/labelnote]]

* Fighting the Tree Sentinel. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Tree Sentinel, an overworld boss found immediately after exiting the starting area, quickly gained notoriety for wiping the floor with any player who tries to fight it early, thanks to its speedy horseback attacks and spell-reflecting greatshield. It also gives relatively poor rewards despite its difficulty, just a few thousand runes and a halberd that requires Strength, Dexterity, and Faith investment to use. Players made many jokes about repeatedly throwing themselves against it despite not even planning to use its spoils. Similar jokes apply to the Crucible Knight, a challenging evergaol boss found a bit later who drops a high-level incantation.[[/labelnote]]

Added DiffLines:
* "Ohhhhh, Elden Ring..."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from the original reveal. It became this in the intervening years prior to the gameplay trailer.[[/labelnote]]
* Glaive Master Hodir[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since it took ''two years'' between the reveal of the game and any tangible information about gameplay and release date, with total silence in between, fans of the Soulsborne series started making fake posts on subreddits asking for help fighting made-up bosses for the game, the most memorable of which being Glaive Master Hodir[[/labelnote]]
** Jokes about designers visiting the subreddits to steal ideas, or players booting up Elden Ring expecting to meet Glaive Master Hodir are also popular.
* Hollowing[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the two-year gap between the reveal and the release date being confirmed, fans of the soulsborne series started making jokes about turning Hollow, a state from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' that results from the lack of hope or drive.[[/labelnote]]
* Elden Ring Wins By Doing Absolutely Nothing[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Elden Ring'' won the 2020 game awards for Most Anticipated game. At that point, the reveal trailer was nearly two years old and there hadn't been any news about the game since then.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII 2'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]With the game's colorful art direction, wide areas, extremely nonlinear world progression outside of the legacy dungeons, and the return of powerstancing and twinblades (a weapon class previously exclusive to DSII), it's become common to joke that the game is specifically a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Dark Souls II'', especially as the latter was originally intended to be more open world.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Dark Souls: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Because ''Elden Ring'' is the first fully open-world Soulslike made by [=FROMSoftware=], and ''Breath of the Wild'' is another extremely popular open-world game, comparisons were inevitable. The game allowing you to beeline for the main objectives and ignore the brunt of the story doesn't hurt. Both games were also released shortly after ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' and ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'' respectively, completely overshadowing them.[[/labelnote]]
** Also common: ''Dark Souls [[WideOpenSandbox But Big]]'' and ''Dark Souls [[CoolHorse With A Horse]]''.
* ''[[ThatOneBoss "Put these foolish]]'' ''[[HaveANiceDeath ambitions to rest."]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The DiscOneFinalBoss of the Network Test, and first boss of the first Legacy Dungeon, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Margit The Fell Omen]], says this after he kills the player. And with him being [[WakeUpCallBoss easily the most difficult challenge]] in the Network Test, with his hyper-aggressive AI and his devastating combo attacks, needless to say the players who got to play the test have heard this phrase ''a lot'', and it's always brought up at least once when discussing the boss.[[/labelnote]]
* Maidenless[[labelnote:Explanation]]Before meeting Melina, the Tarnished is mocked for being "Maidenless", not having a MysteriousWaif to level up at. This was immediately taken to mean that [[https://twitter.com/goodheartkillua/status/1496995926841380869 the player ain't got no girlfriend]].[[/labelnote]]
** "[[WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} NO MAIDENS?]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A crossover-meme of "NO BITCHES?" taken from ''Megamind''. With comments from characters over the Tarnished being "Maidenless", there has been art [[https://twitter.com/monotone_ink/status/1496271083040763906 replacing Megamind]] with [[https://twitter.com/guiltygremlin/status/1497431546386530304 Melina]] or Varre, and later, [[https://twitter.com/DatGeistra/status/1497172782752358401 recreations]] of [[https://twitter.com/charborgg/status/1497256496802979854 a frowning Megamind]] using the customization options to make the reference.[[/labelnote]]
* [[VideoGamePerversityPotential "Try fingers but hole"]][[note]]In a similar vein to [[BuxomIsBetter "Amazing Chest Ahead!"]] from ''Videogame/DarkSouls'', the fans found that some of the messages they can leave other players could be an avenue to raunchy silliness. Made all the better for the omnipresence of the word "finger" in the game's lore, such as with the Finger Maidens and the Two Fingers who govern the HubWorld of Roundtable Hold.[[/note]]
* Torrent Elden Ring[[labelnote:Explanation]]A post meant to introduce Torrent, the steed that will accompany the player, was misinterpreted by many as [[DigitalPiracyIsOkay a message to pirate the game]].[[/labelnote]]
* "dog"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A player message frequently found near just about every type of animal in the game, with the possible exception of the actual dogs.[[/labelnote]]
