Elden Ring archeologists are still finding unused content hidden in the action RPG’s files, seemingly revealing that one popular NPC was almost given a completely different voice

Over two years on, and before the release of its DLC expansion, it seems that Elden Ring is still housing a few secrets and mysteries, as one fan has uncovered a set of unused voice lines which were apparently hiding in the action RPG’s files on PC up until version 1.06.

Well, ‘unused’ might not be quite the right word, as the dialogue itself can still be found in the game now, just not with this voice. As highlighted by Twitter user @MagicalShion, the lines in question belong to the NPC Nepheli Loux, who has a full questline and can be summoned for some extra help during the boss fight with Godrick the Grafted. In the final version of the game, she’s voiced by Cara Theobold, but in these datamined audio files, she sounds very different – almost as if she’s voiced by Roderika’s actor, Helen Monks, although this isn’t actually confirmed.
