No one will be surprised if we say that FromSoftware retains many elements throughout its releases, as is the case in Fire Ring with the Darkmoon Greatsword and the Wheel of Giza, two weapons that hark back to Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne respectively. However, they are not the only weapons that recall elements of the past.
He Ranah’s Dancing Thread Shadow of the Erdtree is another one of those weapons that has drawn many comparisons to another installment in the FromSoftware family, specifically to a boss especially famous for his elegant moves. It’s two swords in one, obtained by defeating the Dancer of Ranah, located in the Nameless Mausoleum in the southern Shadowlands.
The moveset of these swords is very elegant and distinctive, almost unique within Elden Ring. And we point out that “almost” because the Fluvimorph Sword has very similar movements, although it does not allow them to be performed for as long. Many fans They remembered the deadly dance who lived through facing the Dancer of the Boreal Valley the Dark Souls 3.
While the Fluvimorph Blade has hints, the inspiration is much more evident with Ranah’s Dancing Blade. They’re not exactly the same moves, but admittedly the style is certainly similar. It looks great on screen, but it’s useless against any Elden Ring boss. They’re too light weapons to interrupt animations or attacks, so the player would be dead by the time the first combo landed.
