To commemorate the ongoing festive season, one Elden Ring player makes their character look like Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. The holiday season is one of the best times for gamers, as most get a lot of free time to play their favorite titles like Elden Ring and many games are available at discounted prices. Gaming enthusiasts can buy high-profile titles like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Forza Horizon 5, and Elden Ring at low prices from selected merchants.
Gamers have different approaches when it comes to celebrating the holidays. Some engage in gaming marathons where they continuously play their favorite titles like Elden Ring for hours, while others use video game-themed decorations. Similarly, one Elden Ring fan has found an interesting way to celebrate the festive season by turning their character into a popular Christmas character.
Reddit user bsmiff is an Elden Ring player who gave their in-game avatar a festive-themed makeover. They took inspiration from a famous Christmas character called Rudolph, a fictional red-nosed reindeer created by Robert L. May, who has appeared in numerous cartoons, movies, and children's books. They uploaded a five-minute video that shows their adventures in The Lands Between as Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Tarnished. The video begins with bsmiff's Rudolph riding a cart to replicate the reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. It shows their fight in Elden Ring's Colosseum, where they battle multiple players simultaneously and perform several critical hits.
Furthermore, bsmiff chose the perfect background music for this Elden Ring holiday montage by playing Chuck Berry's hit song, Run Rudolph Run. Also, their choice of armor and primary weapon make their Elden Ring character look like a reindeer. Most importantly, bsmiff went with the Shining Horned Headband as their preferred headgear, which has horns resembling a reindeer. Shining Horned Headband is the armament used by Ancestral Follower Shamans, an enemy found in the Siofra River region in Elden Ring. Moreover, they used the Winged Greathorn as their primary weapon, further reinforcing the idea of their character looking like a reindeer.
In addition to being the perfect armament for the festive season, the Winged Greathorn is also an excellent weapon for inflicting more damage in Elden Ring. The video shows how bsmiff defeated several opponents in a Colosseum match of Elden Ring using this Great Axe and its unique skill. Like many Elden Ring weapons, the Winged Greathorn has a special skill called Soul Stifler, which involves blowing the horn to summon a soul-eating miasma.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
