Elden Ring Walking Mausoleums - Secret Details You Should Know In Walking Mausoleums

The walking mausoleums structures

The walking mausoleums are truly a sight to behold, these gigantic lumbering structures stood on four stone-like legs, and many were equipped with massive ringing bells that hung from their undersides nearly.

All of these gargantuan creatures were vehemently guarded by a company of undead soldiers and knights whose sole desire in life was to guard, these mobile tombs and death, but most important of all was the structure that stood firmly on their backs, the mausoleum itself not to mention the chilling scene that was hidden beyond the threshold of its doors for any tarnished foolish or brave enough to desire entry a series of defensive measures had to be bested.

Bloodsoaked Tabard

First, the headless phantoms patrolling the perimeter of the walking mausoleums,  attack prospective tomb raiders, the Elden ring items description for the bloodsoaked tabard worn by the foot soldiers reads padded cloth armor with indelible bloodstains around the neck worn by headless foot soldiers who endlessly guard the wandering mausoleum, but why had they all been decapitated, the mausoleum knight armor provides the shocking answer armor worn by headless knights who endlessly guard the wandering mausoleum, the wing-shaped ornaments on its back evoke the death bird a self-inflicted curse that ties the spirits of these loyal knights, the land having willingly beheaded themselves, so that they may serve their masters in death, but who were these masters they, so passionately served the final piece of the puzzle lies within the flavour text for the mausoleum surcoat the surcoat depicts, the mausoleum bell which rings in the constant morning for the soulless demigods.

Not only do we learn about the purpose of the bells, but also what lies hidden in the mausoleum itself a soulless demigod, this special chamber could only be accessed by destroying the calcified skulls that often gathered around the feet or base of the walking mausoleums, once a sufficient number of the skulls were forcibly removed, the mausoleum would come crashing down granting, those worthy enough to dispel their magical barriers passage inside, despite the monumental effort needed to gain access the tomb itself was quite underwhelming decorated with several chests filled with useless trinkets and bobbles and several statues of nameless deities. 

The only notable detail is the decapitated corpse laying on the stone table, nearly every mausoleum houses a similar gruesome scene, despite minor differences in the skin tones of the deceased, they all share the same headless look that was all the rave with their undying followers at first glance many would jump to the conclusion that the term solus referred to none other than Godwin the golden.

However he was simply the first of the demigods to perish in Seoul, while his flesh remained in the realm of the living a unique occurrence that resulted in his status as the prince of death, it seems most likely that other unnamed demigods existed and may have been casualties in the shattering or even in the age preceding the urge tree.

Mausoleums Soldier Ashes

Considering the manner in which they have entombed the Elden Ring items description of the mausoleum soldier ashes clearly supports, this notion of ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell used to summon the spirits of five mausoleum soldiers spirits five headless soldiers who confound foes by disappearing and reappearing at will the mausoleum is where the bodies of soulless demigods are laying to rest, and these soldiers followed their masters into death by severing their own heads from their bodies, this method was far removed from an urgery burial a customary rite where as a symbol of the highest honour and death, royalty and those while renowned were it's possible that these soulless demigods may have perished in an entirely different era buried at the roots of an Erd tree. 

The ruin of death 

When the ruin of death and death was a non-factor, and the death birds ushered, the deceased into the afterlife with their ghost flame, so now that a likely explanation as to when the demigods died the mystery of who they still remained the most intriguing possibility comes from the spirit of a deceased commoner who states the mausoleum prowls cradling the soulless demigod America queen eternal.

He is your unwanted child perhaps, these unwanted children were those that couldn't quite live up to queen America's standards, unlike her most powerful children who were worthy of bearing the Elden ring rune shards, these were likely unfit to ever achieve godhood and as such were simply left beheaded and buried in wandering relics from an age long past their soulless nature, possibly granted them the unique ability to duplicate remembrances as each of the demigods buried in the mausoleums eagerly awaited the return of their own souls, sadly this day would never come, it's a shame that even the gods themselves can prove to be as shallow and fickle as the fools that worshipped them discarding their children. Due to their perceived inadequacies and forever striking them from the annals of history, only their corpses could hint at the time before the age of the earth tree.
