  "account": "FromSoftware leaker Zullie the Witch has unveiled detailed close-ups of the two new NPCs introduced in Elden Ring's Tarnished Edition DLC. Knight Leontiel, reminiscent of Dark Souls 2's Lucatiel, is depicted with an HD remaster of her classic conquistador armor and swift greatsword. Upon removing her mask, Leontiel bears a striking resemblance to Lucatiel, complete with a burning scar over her left eye, mirroring the hollowing rot Lucatiel endured in Dark Souls 2. Noble Broken Mask, on the other hand, may serve as a glimpse of Goldmask's true appearance. While Goldmask's digital model possesses a face, it appears to be a placeholder, whereas Broken Mask showcases an austere, pinched face with striking pale gold eyes, reminiscent of the Elden Ring's typically obscured Elden followers. Zullie offers comprehensive character creation details for both NPCs, enabling players to recreate them as their own. This isn't Zullie's first foray into revealing Elden Ring's NPCs, as she has previously dissected the characters from Shadow of the Erdtree and Dark Souls 3. With the Tarnished Edition's release, the game's servers are expected to see increased activity in the coming weeks, offering players more opportunities to engage with the new content.",
