Elden Ring Fan Accidentally Makes Tom Cruise With The Character Creator

A fan playing FromSoftware's hit game Elden Ring accidentally makes their player character look like the famous actor Tom Cruise.

A Reddit user going by the name of LeAtlass shared their Melina cosplay with the Elden Ring community. The showcased cosplay featured Melina's distinctive outfit, complete with intricate details and a matching hairstyle that captured the essence of the character. To add an extra touch of authenticity, LeAtlass incorporated special effects to simulate fire in the hands, mirroring the mystical abilities of Elden Ring’s mysterious character Melina.

Elden Ring players poured in with praise and admiration for LeAtlass’s cosplay. One player expressed disbelief, acknowledging that they mistook the cosplay for an actual in-game screenshot, emphasizing the accuracy and attention to detail achieved by LeAtlass. Another curious player inquired about the technique used to replicate Melina's signature closed-eye look, to which LeAtlass revealed the process involving alternating frames during the photoshoot and merging them seamlessly to achieve the desired effect in order to faithfully recreate this Elden Ring NPC.

What Is Melina's Role in Elden Ring?

Melina is a figure deeply intertwined with Elden Ring's lore and the player's journey. After losing her physical form and becoming a wandering spirit seeking her purpose, she forms an alliance with the Tarnished (the players' role in the game), offering her spectral steed Torrent and guidance in exchange for aid in reaching the foot of the Erdtree.

Melina is among the Elden Ring characters expected to make an appearance in Shadows of the Erdtree, the highly anticipated DLC set to release on June 21. FromSoftware has announced that this DLC will introduce fresh adversaries set against breathtaking locations, unfolding in the mysterious Land of Shadow. As players eagerly anticipate June 21, this Melina cosplay serves as another testament to Elden Ring's enduring popularity among fans.
