Elden Ring lore is infamously some of the most convoluted and ambiguous in any major franchise in gaming, largely due to the nature of FromSoftware's environmental storytelling, sparse dialogue with NPCs, and intentionally vague quest lines. However, one hugely popular lore theorist who has become an unofficial expert on the topic is releasing a collection of books for players interested in piecing together Elden Ring's various mysteries.
A go-to source for Elden Ring lore theories, VaatiVidya on Youtube is releasing a comprehensive collection of reference books called "Lore Bound" that covers his sprawling analysis of all Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, and Nightreign lore. While the books are an unofficial definitive source, they're likely to include the most comprehensive look at Elden Ring lore in physical text format to date.
Up to this point, there haven't really been many reliable reference materials for Elden Ring lore, largely because there are so many different theories floating around about what is actually going on in the universe. The best fan theories are rooted in tangible evidence from each of the games, utilizing in-game artifacts and narrative connections to build concepts as opposed to pure speculation.
Vaati is widely renowned...
