Rich: Yeeeees! I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that if there are blue phantoms then as sure as the sun is warm then there's got to be a PvP element here: there's a moment in the trailer actually where I wasn't sure if the player was fighting another player or an NPC. Using it to dodge flame breath is all well and good, but riding a phantom horse up the back of some giant monster as it tries to swat you off? Yes please. One thing I was curious about is how big a boss element it will be: Shadow of the Colossus incorporated your horse into some of the boss battles in clever ways, and Elden Ring's trailer suggests some truly huge bosses. Rich: I wasn't enormously impressed with the mounted duel at the start of the trailer, though the later clip where the character on horseback is riding around a dragon in a wide sweep looked great.
Step aside Skyrim horse, there's a new king of mountain climbing.
