Description:
One of Elden Ring's datamined swords that was thought to be missing from the 
game has been discovered as a decoration.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

A sword previously uncovered in Elden Ring s files and thought to be totally 
missing from the actual game has been discovered in the Lands Between, and it 
turns out it was hiding in plain sight all along. Unfortunately, for anyone 
keen to get their hands on a fancy new weapon, its purpose is purely 
decorative. 

For context, this sword was highlighted a couple of months ago in a video by 
YouTuber Ziostorm, who explained that although an icon of it - and two other 
swords with identical hilts - had been datamined, there were no references to 
them in the game. They had no names or content IDs. 

Now, as GamesRadar+ reports , the story has evolved. First spotted by Twitter 
user @Pinopinisimo and highlighted by Ziostorm, one of these swords is 
actually one of the worn, non-functional weapons that can be found placed at 
gravestones in the game. 

Remember this cut sword from Elden Ring ? We finally have a match for it. It 
seems the gravestone swords you can find across the Lands Between were 
originally meant to be a weapon the player could use," Ziostorm speculated.

Replying to this tweet, @Pinopinisimo wrote : I had that [sword] stuck in my 
head for weeks after I watched your video, so you can imagine how I jumped 
from my chair when I noticed it. 

It's not known if there ever were any plans for the sword to be useable, or 
if it was always intended to be a fancy piece of outdoor furniture. 

 Elden Ring is an enormous game, so its not entirely surprising that players 
might still be able to find new secrets in its world, even 19 months after 
its release (no, I cant believe its been that long, either). Even so, its 
really cool, and the mystery isnt entirely over, as the two other swords with 
identical hilts still havent been found.
