Who are you in Elden Ring? Well, you’re a Tarnished, but that isn’t the whole story. You have the ability to become anyone, but you will start as someone, come from somewhere, and that story is told in the class and Keepsakes you choose as you create your character in Elden Ring.
Unlike your class – essentially your previous “job” before becoming Tarnished – Keepsakes are something a bit more personal, and perhaps useful. You can choose to have no Keepsake and become a Tarnished that forgets the past, or you can choose one of these helpful boons to carry with you on your journey.
