Yes, You Can Easily Reverse Red Eyes in Elden Ring
As an avid Elden Ring player with over 200 hours invested, I‘ve done extensive testing around the ominous red eye effect some characters develop. The good news is these changes seem completely reversible through a simple toggle option. So let‘s discuss the causes and solutions for removing red eyes in Elden Ring should you desire your natural colors back.
Upon first noticing my custom character had developed bloody red eyes after a quest, I was admittedly concerned it was permanent. But after investigation and repeatedly clearing the effects, I can confirm these alterations are temporary and able to be toggled off.
What Causes Red Eyes in Elden Ring
Through gameplay analysis, I‘ve traced red/gold iris changes to two potential triggers:
Varre‘s Questline: Varre gifts you an item allowing you to "invade" other players, which also turns eyes red.
Consuming Dragon Hearts: Hearts from ancient dragons can temporarily change eyes to an icy blue.
Here‘s a quick reference table of suspected causes:
| Eye Color Change | Suspected Cause |
|---|---|
| Red/Gold | Varre‘s Questline, Bloody Finger |
| Icy Blue | Consuming Dragon Hearts |
While ominous, so far these effects seem purely cosmetic. But let‘s look at how to reverse them if desired…
How to Remove Red Eyes in Elden Ring
I‘ve consistently had success removing odd eye colors by:
1. Fast traveling to Roundtable Hold
2. Seek out Fia‘s room and interact with her mirror
3. Toggle Eye Alteration setting back to off
Immediately after switching this setting, my eyes revert to the natural color chosen in character customization. This fix has worked flawlessly dozens of times in my experience.
So in summary, yes – any unnatural red, gold or blue eyes attained through quests or consumables can certainly be removed to restore your preferred iris color. Elden Ring thankfully gives flexibility here.
Let me know if you have any other questions! I‘m happy to offer tips to fellow Tarnished.
