Leaks and rumors point toward the Badlands, an area far from the Lands Between, being the setting for the DLC.

It can be argued that her role is significant enough, and any more screen time may diminish her role in the story.

The only issue with this may be the element of player choice. Not all players decide to go the route of the Frenzied Flame, and requiring this ending to access the DLC isn’t likely. The closest FromSoftware has come to a DLC that references the player’s choice is Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel . In this case, the only thing that changes is a line of dialogue spoken by Sister Friede if the player has chosen the Usurpation of Fire ending.

Though he doesn't play a major role in the events of Elden Ring , depending on when he is met, he can be summoned during the battle against Starscourge Radhan.

Martin that is set in the Lands Between, where the Greater Will's influence is the most dominant amongst the Outer Gods that have come in search of power. It is the Greater Will that sends the Elden Ring to the Lands Between, and it raises Marika to godhood so she can contain the Elden Ring as its vessel. However, life under the influence of the Greater Will isn't what all residents of the Lands Between desire, and many of them begin to grow disillusioned with the Greater Will and its Golden Order. The demigods, in particular, stray away from the Greater Will and seek their own paths and power in Elden Ri<br><br> <br>Both luckily and unluckily for players, Elden Ring 's patches have largely served to buff rather than nerf.

Plus, should the player find the Chrysalids' Memento in Stormveil Castle and deliver it to her, she will appear in the Roundtable Hold. At that point, selecting certain dialogue options when meeting with Roderika and Smithing Master Hewg results in her unlocking a latent spirit tuning ability.
