The Valiant Gargoyles are a sight Elden Ring players should be quite familiar with. They’re often some of the most challenging non-boss enemies in the game, and they can be found in many parts of the world.
While the idea of gargoyles left behind as watchers over certain areas, or standing guard around monuments and crucial entry points isn’t itself new, the way the design of gargoyles has changed is intriguing.
For one, the Elden Ring gargoyles are seemingly the product of fusing together two living beings. While certain elements, such as their wings and some of their armour continue to be made of stone, they are decidedly different from the gargoyles FromSoftware fans know.
