A mysterious item in a FromSoftware game is confounding the community. Must be a day ending in 'Y'. An elusive drop from Elden Ring Nightreign with a hilariously boring use has players theorizing for some sort of deeper function.
In Nightreign, if you’re extremely lucky, you might find the Cord End. It's a small item that occasionally spawns in one of the churches. And by occasionally, I mean 0.035% of the time, once every 2,857 runs or so.
As much has spurred the community to investigate further. Multiple theories are going around, the most compelling of which, to me at least, is the notion of the twigs being tied to the Roundtable Hold. They both mention a "cutting-gifted tribe," suggesting they're both part of some elaborate sequence.
There are other ideas, such as that of having a specific party of three to equip the items. However, the problem is that the drop is so rare; investigating further is prohibitively difficult without a mod of some sort to uncover the Cord End more often.
Dataminers, including Zullie the Witch, are looking through Nightreign's innards at the moment. Not for this specifically, but if there's any suggestion of where this leads, it's likely to be signposted quickly. Of course, a possibility is it leads nowhere. This is FromSoftware, obtuseness is part of the territory. Watch this space.
