During Emmrich's recruitment mission in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you can find an oddly familiar note sitting just by a ledge.
It reads, "Treasure... try down", formatted exactly like an Elden Ring message. It's a fun little homage, but I wanted to put to the test just how accurate it is.
In Elden Ring, you can't recreate the tattered note 1:1, the closest you can get is, "treasure chest, Try down", but in Dark Souls, you can make the tattered note almost verbatim: "treasure, try down".
If you haven't played Elden Ring and are wondering what the hell I'm waffling about, you can write notes in-game using a list of prompts. Think of it like dark fantasy Madlibs. Other players can then see what you wrote in their game, choosing to upvote or downvote your message (an upvote heals you).
Helpful players use these messages to point out hidden paths and treasure, others write jokes (like calling every animal you see 'dog' or scrawling 'fort night' everywhere), and the trolls try and trick you into jumping off a ledge to your death.
Before I get yelled at, messages first appeared in Demon's Souls, and have since become a Soulslike...
