Image: Tarnished vs Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast at Mount Gelmir

A breathtaking anime-style fan art scene captures a climactic battle between the Tarnished and the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast at Mount Gelmir, one of Elden Ring's most formidable and volcanic regions. The composition is rendered in landscape orientation with exceptional resolution and detail, emphasizing the dynamic tension and scale of the encounter.

On the left side of the image stands the Tarnished, cloaked in the sleek, ominous Black Knife armor. The armor is matte black with subtle silver trim, designed for stealth and agility. The hood obscures most of the Tarnished’s face, revealing only sharp, determined eyes. Their stance is aggressive and poised—right foot forward, left foot braced behind, sword arm extended with a glowing golden blade that catches the light. The cape flutters dramatically in the wind, echoing the chaos of the battlefield.

Opposing them on the right is the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast, a massive quadrupedal creature with a body composed of jagged, rock-like hide and coarse fur. Its head is a grotesque fusion of rhinoceros and crustacean features, dominated by two large horns—one curving forward from its snout, the other protruding above. Its mouth is open in a roar, revealing rows of jagged teeth and a glowing pink tongue. The beast’s eyes burn with yellow intensity, and its back is lined with crystalline spines that pulse with cosmic purple energy. These crystals shimmer and refract the ambient light, hinting at the creature’s gravitational and magnetic powers.

The beast’s tail arcs upward in a violent motion, trailing golden streaks of light and scattering debris across the battlefield. The terrain beneath them is cracked and scorched, with jagged volcanic rock formations and dust clouds swirling from the impact of their clash. The background features the rugged cliffs and fiery skies of Mount Gelmir, painted in hues of orange, red, and smoky gray. Billowing clouds catch the last light of day, casting dramatic shadows and highlights across the scene.

The composition uses diagonal lines—formed by the beast’s tail and the Tarnished’s sword—to draw the viewer’s eye into the center of the action. Lighting is dynamic and cinematic, with warm sunlight illuminating the characters and casting long, dramatic shadows. The color palette balances earthy tones with vibrant accents, creating a sense of realism and fantasy.

This image captures not just a moment of combat, but the essence of Elden Ring’s mythic struggle: a lone warrior confronting a cosmic monstrosity in a world of ruin and grandeur.
