Elden Ring has plenty of obscure side stories for you to complete, including Fia’s quest.
The story in Elden Ring is as convoluted as you would expect it to be in a Soulslike title.
Even though George R. R. Martin penned much of the lore, the story is still as vague as you would expect from a FromSoftware game.
