The bosses from Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC are tough, no question about it. But did you know that behind one particularly terrifying beast are just two dudes who have donned a lion’s cloak? MeinMMO takes a look beneath the cloak of horror for you.

Which boss is it? In the Elden Ring DLC ​​Shadow of the Earthtree, you will come across the Theater of the Divine Beast near the Belurat Tower Settlement. Behind this divine beast is a terrifying Dancing Lion, who has already killed countless adventurers in the Between Lands.

The name of the monster is no coincidence and already spoils a bizarre mystery: Behind the Dancing Lion are two puny dudes who hide under the lion’s skin in order to appear bigger and more dangerous as a disguised duo than they actually are individually.

The lion dance is a traditional art form of Chinese culture in which two people dress up in an elaborate costume that is meant to represent a lion. One “plays” the head, the other the tail. The dance is supposed to bring good luck, prosperity and joy.

Who solved the mystery? In one of his latest videos (via YouTube), YouTuber BonfireVN shows who is hiding under the cloak of the Dancing Lion. In front, a standing stranger is carrying the head of the beast, while his partner is leaning forward and shaking his rear end. But see for yourself:

This also explains why the lion sometimes moves very abruptly and unnaturally in battle. The reward for defeating the beast is 120,000 runes, the echo of the dancing lion and the divine beast head.

Not from this world
