Elden Ringcan easily be called a game of mystery, as the questions revolving around its storyline and lore never seem to end. This causes players of the award-winning game to come up with the wildest theories possible, with each one being more insane than the previous one.However, some of these theories often turn out to be plausible as fans start digging deeper into them. One such theory, or an idea, is that the world ofElden Ringis based in the same universe asDark Soulsbut on a different planet.
While the theory might come off as impossible to many, looking deeper into the history of dragons inElden RingandDark Soulsmight give a more concrete answer and proof that the theory could be true.
How Dragons Could Have Migrated To The Lands Between InElden RingFromDark Souls
Those who have played and experiencedDark Soulswould know the significance of dragons to the storyline of the series. As pointed out by thisReddit User, Dragons in theDark Soulseries ruled over the world of Lordran, but as they refused to evolve to adapt to time, faced their downfall, starting the age of fire.This was followed by these dragons being hunted down, causing them to face the threat of extinction, causing some of the dragons to flee and hide. The user speculates how the Dragons that ran away could have stumbled upon The Lands Between ofElden Ringand settled down here. This was followed by the history we already know of, consisting of the Dragons’ battle with the Greater Will, as well as their making peace withGodwyn The Golden.

Many other similarities remain between the two games that might point towards a connection between them.
What Are The Similarities BetweenElden RingAnd TheDark SoulSeries
It remains anyone’s best guess if the re-appearing items and bosses ofDark SoulsinElden Ringare just a generous reuse of assets, or if they have any deeper connection. Either way, they can play a major role in giving more credit to the theory stated above.Many references are taken from theDark Soulseries, with one of them being how the character of Irina appears in both of the games. This is a blind NPC in theDark Soulseries and is set on a journey of becoming a Firekeeper, just like how inElden Ringshe aims to become a finger maiden.
