Or, if you just need the heals, leave a message. If you want to join the jokesters, leave a message. “Or by knowing that it will be used by those players, there may be some new meaning or emotion attached to it, that is our aim.”Īpparently, that new meaning is middle school humor in a dark fantasy setting. “Phantoms, bloodstains, and messages were always left behind by some nameless player out of the masses, but by using groups this information will sort of belong to players you know,” he told Famitsu (via Reddit translation). In a Famitsu interview about Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki said he thought of Messages as a “simple system” that could lead to “new ways to play.”
“It's a simple system, but we expect that it will lead to new ways to play.”

However, those laughing along are free to enjoy the benefits.

therefore Offer hole.” Bandai Namco / Twitter: who don’t enjoy Elden Ring’s silliest system can always play offline for a more dog-free experience where nobody talks about putting their fingers in their nether regions. Another said the same for “edge lord.” Still, the most popular healing incantations seem to be sentences mentioning “dog” or “finger but hole.” One writer even claimed that she received four appraisals in the span of one minute from her dog messages. One player reported that “behold, grass!” saved them a couple of times. Ironically, there aren’t any actual dogs in Elden Ring, unless you count the wolfish bosses.Ĭalling animals “dogs” isn’t the only way to gain functional immortality, either. People apparently find it hilarious to leave messages like “behold, dog!” in front of tortoises, horses, donkeys, and basically any animal that won’t kill you. It's unclear who started the trend, but it spread through the game (especially the starting areas) like wildfire. Since launch, players have been calling animals of all kinds “dogs,” even though they are clearly not dogs.
Those playing Elden Ring will likely get the reference. “Like yeah I called a tortoise a dog 20 hours ago and now I have gained actual immortality.” “Love that Elden Ring messages that pop off heal you,” one person wrote. The largest dog you will ever meet wears a Pope hat. Many players have shared their Pulitzer-worthy shitposts over social media, thanking the flow of memes for healing them through a boss fight. Write provocative material to hook a reader into rating your message, and you’ve got some major buffs headed your way. Disliking a message still heals the writer, so like any online content, it’s all about engagement. In fact, the messages don’t even have to be good.
So it pays to be funny in an otherwise bloodstained, monster-infested world where death is frequent. If someone appraises your message, then it heals you - sometimes when you need it most. Meme-ing with messages has been a tradition since the first Dark Souls. There’s also a lot of “try rear and thrust” or “if only I had a giant pickle” to be found in the Lands Between. As a result, many messages are simple sentences like “behold, dog” or “try jumping” (typically down to your death). Many offer a starting word like “blank ahead” or “try blank,” and then give the option to select a few words relevant to the game like chest, passage, and horse. Messaging templates have a limited selection of words to choose from to construct a sentence. Just one of many kinds of “dogs” in Elden Ring.
