Spring/Summer ‘23, Blaidd
Oh poor Blaidd. The half-man, half-wolf was created by Ranni’s two fingers to act as a vassal to her, one incapable of treachery. Sadly, however, progressing along Ranni’s questline and causing her to rebel against the Greater Will drives Blaidd mad, and at one point you’ll have to fight him to the death. If you do this, you’ll get his armor and a chance to look a bit like Naomi Campbell did during the Schiaparelli SS23 runway show.
Cambpell, herself a legend much like the characters in Elden Ring, closed the show with a look meant to represent the she-wolf and “foam, resin, and other manmade materials,” Schiaparelli’s website assures us.
If Blaidd was by my side during the Malenia fight, I would have felt a lot less petrified, but sadly the beautiful wolfman is yet another victim of the cruelty of the Lands Between. -AM
