Elden Ring's Blaidd the Half-Wolf vs. Berserk's Berserker Armor
Alongside Starscourge Radahn, another of my favorites characters in Elden Ring includes a gorgeous guy named Blaidd half-wolf. According to his name, Blaidd is the cross between a human and a wolf which is why his look has drawn an enormous amount of interest from Berserk fans since the game's reveal in June 2021. A brief glimpse of the Blaidd whooping on Elden Ring Runes his atop Mistwood Ruins was immediately compared to Miura's work.
In Berserk the protagonist of the show Guts is ultimately entrusted with his own Berserker Armor, a terrifying piece of equipment which draws upon the victim's negative feelings to imbue them with untold power. While most of the time it just looks like an ordinary, if slightly pointed-looking suit of armor, it can transform into an intimidating, wolf-like look whenever Guts decides to let it fuel his rage in battle.
Much like Guts is gifted the Berserker Armor, you're eventually given Blaidd's armor in Elden Ring, allowing you to live out your dreams of a FromSoftware-developed Berserk game. I won't give any details about how the armor comes to you However, if you've any experience with previous Souls games, you'll probably think of a possible solution. It's not a happy topic.
Elden Ring's Ranni the Witch vs. Berserk's Schierke
In the event that Blaidd is Guts as he wears his Berserker Armor Then I'd say that would make Elden Ring fan favorite Ranni the Witch akin to Berserk's Schierke? Although it's a bit of an oversimplification, considering that Ranni is one of the more powerful people in the Lands Between and Schierke is a young witch-in-training, I would say it's plausible if you factor in their different relationship with men who resemble wolves.
I'm not Vaati, but it's apparent that Ranni and Blaidd have a close connection. Blaidd, as far as I've gathered was specifically created to guide Ranni towards her purpose as a potential godlike figure by an unseen, supernatural force known as The Greater Will. However, as Ranni abandons this path, Blaidd grows increasingly feral until he loses his humanity in the course of the story.
Schierke, on the other on the other hand, is one of Guts his companions following the annihilation of the Band of the Hawk cheap Elden Ring Items. She soon emerges as the only one to help him manage his instinctual urges being influenced by the Berserker Armor. As such, Schierke and Guts are able to be inseparable in battle, with the young witch regularly projecting her spirit into his consciousness to ease his anxiety and prevent him from succumbing to the armor completely.
