Cord End is the biggest mystery of Nightreign. No one seems to know what it does
Mystery lies in the core of souls games and Elden Ring Nightreign is no different. Many fans wonder what Cord End is for, yet it's purpose is unknown. However, here you will find some interesting theories that can give you an idea what to look for.
Extraction shooters are a natural extension of classical FPS titles, introducing variety to every run. No one should be surprised that with the age of time, game genres mix with each other, creating completely fresh subgenres in the process. What was initially unthinkable like connecting FPS and RPG resulted in ever popular and loved by many one of the worst reviews among FromSoftware games. Yet it’s not a bad title by any stretch of imagination, as still hundreds of thousands of fans enjoy it simultaneously (via SteamDB). Despite the change of pace that Nightreign introduced, the soul (pun intended) of FromSoftware productions is intact, as there are still items to be found, shrouded by mystery, spurning fans to craft theories about their use. One of such objects is Cord End. Does it have any meaning or is it just a joke added by the creators? Let’s try to shed a bit more light on this stray fragment of rope.
What is the use of Cord End in Elden Ring Nightreign
Cord End can be usually found in one of Limveld’s safer locations – churches. Its cryptic description “Gain entry somewhere” does not help much, as it doesn’t specify anything more than that. There are Bloodborne, can be used for, however nothing obvious and certain has been found as of yet.
There are a couple of popular theories that seem probable:
- Gaining entry to one of the rises scattered around the map without breaking their seals.
- Opening specific doors during shifting earth events.
- Getting past doors in Roundtable Hold after defeating the final Night Lord.
Whatever the answer is, it is still shrouded in mystery. This is something that keeps the community engaged and gives them a topic to discuss. It’s not the first time the creators have added such vague items to their games. An example can be Pendant from the original Dark Souls, where it most probably served as a prank from the production’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki. We have to keep in mind that Elden Ring Nightreign is directed by a different person – Junya Ishizaki. Due to that, the narration, while familiar, might be different to what we are used to.
Since this production is not a classical souls entry, you might want to learn how to unlock new playable characters like Nightfarers. They will allow you to defeat difficult opponents in style.
We are used to challenging bosses in the souls’ series, though Elden Ring Nightreign’s biggest obstacle might be finding the third person to fare through Limveld. creating a mod allowing for single and duo play.
