Data miners have been busy scouring Elden Ring for cut content, from dream quests to those mysterious coliseums.
Now Sekiro Dubi has discovered a potential cut questline for Festering Fingerprint Vyke.
Who’s Vyke? Why, he’s the guy on the cover!
It does seem surprising that FromSoftware would cut content based on the character on the front cover, though I always assumed that was just the player character. I was wrong!
In the final game, players encounter Vyke twice: first as an invasion and second as an Evergaol boss. Yet it seems more may have been intended for him.
Sekiro Dubi has found cut dialogue from Gostoc, who awaits you at the start of Stormveil Castle. He mentions a “repulsive looking knight” wearing armour “melting inwards, practically falling apart” who entered the castle before the player – that would be Vyke.
