Image: Tarnished vs Fallingstar Beast in Sellia Tunnel

An anime-style digital illustration captures a dramatic battle between the Tarnished and the Fallingstar Beast in Elden Ring's Sellia Crystal Tunnel. The scene is set in a cavernous underground space, its jagged rock walls tinted in deep blues and purples, receding into shadow. Glowing blue crystals protrude from the walls and floor, casting an eerie luminescence that contrasts with the warm orange glow of a lantern nestled in a wooden scaffold to the right.

On the left stands the Tarnished, clad in the sleek and ominous Black Knife armor. The armor is composed of dark, matte plates with subtle gold trim and intricate stitching, forming a silhouette that is both stealthy and regal. A hood obscures the warrior’s face, adding mystery and menace. The Tarnished holds a single sword in his right hand—its blade long, straight, and gleaming with a faint magical aura. His stance is tense and ready, with legs braced and body angled toward the monstrous foe.

The Fallingstar Beast dominates the right side of the image. Its massive body is armored in jagged, golden-brown crystalline scales that jut out like natural weapons. A thick white mane crowns its head, partially obscuring glowing purple eyes that radiate malevolence. Its mouth is open in a snarl, revealing rows of sharp teeth. A long, spiked tail curves upward behind it, and arcs of purple gravitational energy crackle around its body, forming a bolt of lightning that shoots from its mouth to the ground. The bolt slices diagonally across the composition, illuminating the rocky terrain with a burst of violet light and scattering golden sparks.

The ground is strewn with shimmering debris—crystal shards, broken stone, and dust kicked up by the force of the clash. The composition is dynamic and cinematic, with the lightning bolt serving as a visual bridge between the two combatants. The lighting is dramatic, with cool tones dominating the environment and warm highlights providing contrast. The image evokes tension, power, and mysticism, capturing the essence of a high-stakes encounter in a fantasy world.

Rendered in bold lines and vibrant colors, the illustration blends anime aesthetics with the gritty realism of Elden Ring’s world. The balance of motion, lighting, and detail makes this a compelling visual narrative of courage and chaos.
