Elden Ring is one of the most popular open world RPGs out there. So much so that it even received the Game of the Year award back in 2022. The main reason behind such a positive reception of this title is its story. The story never stops developing. FromSoftware is known for its incredible environmental storytelling and highly detailed worlds with years of backstories, and this is one of the reasons why people can't help but fall in love with their games.
Following the line of this continually developing story, it seems that someone has found something interesting. A popular YouTuber has done a lot of research and discovered the origin of Torrent, the horse!
Elden Ring players can finally learn the origin of their trusty steed!
Torrent the Spirit Steed is a horse that players earn when they reach a major milestone in Elden Ring. To get it, players just need to visit the โGatefront Ruinsโ and talk to Melina at the grace site there. She gives players the Spectral Steed Whistle which they can use to summon Torrent at any time.
He has a white mane and two small horns, and looks as glorious as any horse has the right to be. he can double jump and can also be called back if someone or something kills him in the middle of combat. It is undoubtedly a set of wonders, but where does it come from? What is your origin story?
yes youtuber franklygames He is right in his research, he belongs to a family of very glorious ancestors. The first clue about her origin was given to fans when they met Ranni. He hands the players the spirit-summoning bell and explains that it was given to him by the last owner of Torrent. This means she knew them, and since Melina has the whistle, it means she knew them too. But FranklyGaming finds one more connection with Torrent in the game world: the ancestral spirit.
They mention that boss and the description of the memory of the Royal ancestor. It suggests that the Ancestor Spirit, like any other inhabitant of the Siofera River, lives between life and death. This means that they do not, or cannot, die, but the ancestral spirit chief residing there can die, as can Torrent. They even have many similarities in design and sound. When Torrent performs a double jump, he makes the same sound as the ancient spirit.
This has led to the belief that perhaps Torrent is a youthful ancestral spirit. And he has gone out to help the Tarnished not because he wants to, but because he has his own mission. Maybe FromSoftware will also shed some more light on this in Shadow of the Erdtree, or maybe fans just have to dig a little deeper.
It seems that no one helps the player without a cause. Elden Ring
It's an interesting theory that lines up with everything that happens in Elden Ring at every moment. Melina helps the players only because she has her own mission. Ranni helps the players for her own reasons. And finally, Torrent, probably every player's best friend in the game, is also there because he needs something from them.
It may be that fans haven't figured out what he wants yet. There are two ancient spirit bosses in the game; one is the normal one, while the other is the Regal type. Perhaps the answer to Torrent's quest lies in those boss fights.
