How Tall Are You in Elden Ring?
As an avid Elden Ring player with over 300 hours logged and a content creator specializing in RPG game guides, this is a question I see often from new players. In this in-depth guide, I‘ll cover everything you need to know about heights and scale in Elden Ring.
No Definitive Height, But About Average Human Size
Your character in Elden Ring has no specifically defined height value or measurement. However, based on comparisons to various human NPCs and bosses, your height appears similar to an average human adult. I would estimate the height to be around 5‘10" or 177 cm tall.
The Erdtree towering in the distance shows the scale of the world
So while not towering or tiny, your character is meant to be relatable in height, especially next to some of the massive enemies you‘ll encounter.
Enemies Dwarf You to Feel More Epic
While your character may be average human height, many imposing enemies and iconic bosses practically dwarf your size in comparison. For example:
- Fire Giant – Over 21 meters tall
- Dragonlord Placidusax – Up to 30 meters in length
- Maliketh – Up to 15 meters tall
| Boss | Estimated Height |
|---|---|
| Fire Giant | 21m |
| Dragonlord | 30m |
| Maliketh | 15m |
This size difference was an intentional choice by the developers to make enemies seem more epic and your quest feel more monumental. Standing below massive beasts like an ant makes the world feel incredibly large and immersive.
Customizable Height Could Break Immersion
Elden Ring opts not to provide customizable height options for your character. While some players may prefer to tune their exact height, having a locked consistent height adds to the atmosphere and scales properly to the world. A 7-foot tall player character could break that continuity.
You Still Feel Small in the Lands Between
Despite being average human height, Elden Ring still makes your character feel tiny compared to the lush vistas, erdtree, and large enemies. This sense of scale as you explore the different biomes creates a sense of wonder and being small in a large world. It builds an atmosphere unlike any other fantasy RPG.
So while I can‘t provide an exact measurement, not knowing your height adds to the mystery and wondrous allure of Elden Ring. You must embark on your quest to discover how you compare to foes, friends, and lands between. Let me know what other questions you have in the comments!
