Elden Ring players horrified by gross Shadow of the Erdtree lore reveal FromSoftwareShadow of the Erdtree has been dumping lore bombs left, right, and center, with one particularly visceral reveal causing fans to recoil at the implications. Exactly as the name would suggest, Living Jars \u2013 varying from dog to building-sized \u2013 are sentient pots with rock-like arms and legs. The race\u2019s origins had only briefly been touched on in Elden Ring before the DLC\u2019s release if players followed the Jarburg storyline. In Shadow of the Erdtree, however, the Belurat Gaol dungeon explicitly reveals what\u2019s inside those walking, talking pots, and it isn\u2019t pretty. The Tarnished will witness masses of living flesh crawling out of unsealed jars in the Gaol. One ethereal NPC\u2019s dialogue reveals prisoners were forced into jars against their will, likely as punishment for their crimes. Players have reacted exactly as expected to the revelations. On a Reddit thread discussing the side dungeon\u2019s contents, one user didn\u2019t mince their words. \u201cYeah seriously, what the f**k. Those things were messed up and I\u2019m just walking about with parts of Alexander equipped.\u201d \u201cThat sh*t was disgusting and terrifying. Especially the one NPC basically begging to not be shoved in one.\u201d one response added. \u201cThe first time I saw a jar on its side and that crawling out. I was actually repulsed a bit. Especially since there is a ghost that you can hear begging not to go in one,\u201d echoed another. Similar visual storytelling scenarios can be found crammed into every nook and cranny of Elden Ring\u2019s sole expansion.
