Image: Dungeon Duel: Tarnished vs Onze in Belurat Gaol

This high-resolution, semi-realistic digital painting captures a tense moment from Elden Ring, depicting the Tarnished in Black Knife armor locked in combat with Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze inside the ancient prison of Belurat Gaol. The scene is rendered in landscape orientation with a slightly elevated, isometric perspective, offering a clear view of both combatants and their grim surroundings.

The Tarnished stands on the left, tall and imposing in layered black armor with subtle gold accents. His armor features segmented plates, reinforced greaves, and a hooded cloak that casts his face in shadow. The cloak flows behind him, adding motion and weight to his stance. He grips a glowing turquoise dagger in his right hand, angled downward as it clashes with Onze’s blade. His left hand is clenched near his waist, and his posture is assertive—left foot forward, right leg braced behind.

Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze crouches on the right, noticeably smaller and hunched. His emaciated frame is draped in tattered fur and cloth, and his pale, grayish skin clings tightly to his bones. His long, matted hair spills over his shoulders, and his gaunt face is twisted in a snarl, revealing jagged teeth and bloodshot eyes. He grips a jagged turquoise sword in his right hand, raised to meet the Tarnished’s strike, while his left hand claws at the cracked stone floor for balance.

The setting is the interior of Belurat Gaol—a dungeon built from massive, weathered stone blocks. The floor is composed of uneven, cracked tiles, with broken chains scattered near the fighters. Tall, rounded columns and arched entryways frame the background, and an iron-barred gate looms behind Onze. A single torch mounted on the left wall casts flickering light across the scene, illuminating the textures of the stone and the glint of metal.

The composition is balanced and cinematic, with the characters positioned diagonally and their glowing weapons meeting at the center. The lighting is moody and atmospheric, combining warm torchlight with the cool glow of the swords. Shadows stretch across the floor and walls, enhancing the depth and tension of the encounter.

Rendered in a semi-realistic style, the image emphasizes anatomical accuracy, material texture, and environmental detail. The muted color palette of grays, browns, and blacks is punctuated by the vibrant turquoise glow of the weapons, drawing the viewer’s eye to the heart of the conflict. This artwork evokes the danger, mystery, and intensity of a dungeon duel between two iconic Elden Ring characters.
