Elden Ring’sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC introduces a new transformation mechanic that allows the Tarnished to assume a new form and boost certain stats. To enable transformation, you must find any of the three available transformation tools,one of which is obtained as part of anNPC quest.
Unlike wearing armor to change your appearance,transformation only occurs by using one of these tools without wearing any armor at all. Once transformed, the Tarnished will stay in their new state until they die. Here are all three transformations added toElden Ring’sDLCand how to get them.
Lamenter’s Form
Transform Into A Menacing Lamenter With Lamenter’s Mask
TheLamenter’s Maskis dropped by a dungeon boss in theLamenter’s Gaol. This dungeon is located in thenorthwestern region ofCharo’s Hidden Grave. Reaching this location requires navigating theDragon’s Pit and defeating the Ancient Dragon Man, followed by discovering the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion to the south of Jagged Peak. From the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion,you must head west to discover Charo’s Hidden Grave.
Using the Lamenter’s Mask transforms the Tarnished into an omen. While in this form, using the mask again results in the Tarnished’s head to swell in size,damaging all enemies caught in its radius.
