Reddit user preemcuz recreated Old Gregg inElden Ringand shared their creation online to the tune of over 8,500 upvotes. For those unfamiliar with the character, Old Gregg originated in the BBC comedy seriesThe Mighty Boosh, but really rose to fame on YouTube. Old Gregg is a green-skinned creature that’s not quite human who confronts a fisherman who dares to trespass on his “waters.” One of Old Gregg’s most famous lines is when he asks the fisherman, “You ever drunk Baileys from a shoe?”
Old Gregg is the kind of bizarre creature that would be right at home in FromSoftware’s epic.Elden Ring’s open worldis packed full of strange creatures and unspeakable horrors. The vast majority of the creaturesElden Ringplayers come across are hostile and must be killed if one hopes to survive, though there are other characters that players can have conversations with throughout the game.
Some of the characters thatElden Ringplayers meet on their journeys may seem benevolent on the surface, but are actually hiding sinister intentions. TakeGatekeeper Gostoc at Stormveil Castle, for example. Gostoc seems helpful at first by leading players to a secret path through the castle, but he winds up stealingElden Ringplayers' runes whenever they die, which makes leveling up a lot more difficult than it would be otherwise. Likewise, Old Gregg may seem somewhat friendly on the surface in that he wants the fisherman to love him and invites him over to “do some watercolors,” but can also be heard saying, “I’m gonna hurt you” under his breath and actually has a dead man hanging on the wall in his cave.
FromSoftware’s next game,Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, may not necessarily offer the same level of character customization asElden Ringdoes, but it will at least let players customize their mech suits. WithElden Ringsetting the bar so high with its customization options, it will definitely be interesting to see whatArmored Core 6brings to the table later this year.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
