Published in Elden Ring Lore 1 min read

Lady Tanith, the proprietress of Volcano Manor, undergoes a profound and disturbing transformation after the defeat of her lord, Praetor Rykard.

Upon the Tarnished's victory over Rykard, Lady Tanith announces her departure from Volcano Manor. However, rather than leaving the premise entirely, she instead relocates to Rykard's audience chamber.

Lady Tanith's Devotion and Transformation

Within the chamber where Rykard was defeated, Lady Tanith performs a final, grotesque act of unwavering loyalty. She can be found devouring the corpse of her lord, Praetor Rykard. This macabre ritual is driven by her desperate wish to become his serpent. Her ultimate goal is to merge with Rykard, allowing them to continue their shared blasphemous ambition of devouring the gods together. This act solidifies her commitment to Rykard's ideals, even in death, highlighting her extreme devotion.

Key Aspects of Lady Tanith's Fate:

  • Departure Announcement: Publicly states her intention to leave Volcano Manor.
  • Relocation: Moves to Rykard's audience chamber, not truly leaving the area.
  • Devouring Rykard: Engages in the act of consuming her deceased lord's remains.
  • Desired Transformation: Wishes to become part of Rykard, specifically his serpent.
  • Shared Ambition: Aims to continue their quest to devour the gods.
