Master Hewg is the blacksmith you meet in the Roundtable Hold, always ready to help you upgrade your weapons. He’s got this gruff exterior but, deep down, he’s got a heart of gold. Players have spent countless hours with him, making sure their gear is up to par for the next big fight.

Then there’s Roderika. She starts as this scared, almost broken character, but through her journey, she becomes a powerful spirit tuner. Her story of growth and resilience has really struck a chord with players. Watching her transform from a frightened survivor to a strong, independent figure is one of those emotional high points that makeElden Ringso special.
These two characters aren’t just NPCs, they’re like friends you meet along your journey in the Lands Between. Their stories are intertwined with the players’ experiences, and that’s why they hold a special place in fans’ hearts.There are plenty more of such charactersin the game, and they helped make the game as good as it is.
Fans’ Fears and Speculations With Shadow of the Erdtree
Given Miyazaki’s track record, it’s not far-fetched to worry about the fate of some of them. FromSoftware games areknown for their dark, often tragic storylines. Characters you grow attached to sometimes meet unfortunate ends and fans are scared thatShadow of the Erdtreemight follow this pattern.

Imagine coming back to the Roundtable Hold only to find Master Hewg gone or worse. That would be a gut punch for many. And if Roderika’s fate turns grim, it could feel like a betrayal of her entire character arc. Fans have seen her rise from the ashes, and seeing her fall again would be heartbreaking.
The relationship between developers and the player community is more important than ever.Elden Ring’ssuccess is partly because of the strong bond fans have with its world and characters. Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware have always been master storytellers, weaving complex narratives that challenge and move players.
The hope is that he will find a way to advance the story inShadow of the Erdtreewithout alienating the fans who have grown to love these characters.Shadow of the Erdtreeis set to release on the 21st of June.
