Imagine this: you just crawled out of the elden ring learning area. You just finished the first mini boss with barely any skin intact. Then off absolutely nowhere A stranger makes fun of you for not having a girlfriend. Or at least many players have chosen to interpret one of them the earliest NPC interactions in elden ring.
Here’s the full line: “You are a virgin. A small player, completely detached from the power of the runes.” What the NPC Varré actually means, although it is not immediately clear to the player, is that you need a “virgin” guide that will allow you to use the runes that Collect them to convert into stat wins. But it’s a lot funnier to imagine that he actually asked you to play elden ring on a Saturday night instead of meeting someone nice at a bar. This whole interaction is so much better when you start out as a Wretch, which is a class where you start out almost naked. Forget girls. Some of these tainted don’t even have clothes.
Do not worry; You will eventually meet the Maiden after finding three aboveground sites of mercy. But it hasn’t stopped players from adopting “maidenless” as a community inside joke. While simply calling someone “virginless,” it’s clear that some people have taken the memes a step further. A from these memes formats contains megamind because a similar meme about not having girlfriends.

These jokes are more self-deprecating than serious, since whoever is playing this Soulslike game right now is probably sinking an absurd amount of time into its run. And I have to admit, it’s charming to be so thoroughly trolled by a video game. If most video games are power fantasies, elden ring is the opposite of that. Not only can you take down an enemy with two hits, but you’ll also get shot with a question about your marital status. It’s not a FromSoft game without a bit of pain and humiliation.

Here’s a little advice: Whatever you do, not Attack Varré after he calls you virgin. He will attack you with a bouquet of flowers and will remain hostile if you quickly return to the point of interest until you kill him. Quote igamesnews‘s EIC Patricia Hernandez, who made this hasty mistake: “I regret my whole life.”
