    What exactly is this earth tree? The Earth Tree is the big, golden tree in the world of Elden Ring that you’ve probably already seen. The Earth Tree grew through the Elden Ring and through its golden leaves the people received their grace – a kind of blessing. Anyone who has lost their grace is a so-called “defiled one”.
