Pristinas

Pristinas are a fictional species from the popular video game "Elden Ring." They are depicted as crystalline humanoids found in the Shattered Lands, particularly within the areas of Caelid and the Consecrated Snowfield. Pristinas are characterized by their translucent, multifaceted bodies that refract light, giving them an ethereal appearance. Their forms are often slender and angular, resembling statues or shards of glass brought to life.

In the game's lore, Pristinas are believed to be remnants or creations tied to the ancient, cosmic forces that shaped the world. They are not explicitly explained as having a specific origin or purpose, leading to speculation among players. Some theorize they are related to Outer Gods or a forgotten civilization. They are generally passive creatures, often found in solitary or small groups, and do not actively attack unless provoked or if the player encroaches upon their territory.

When engaged in combat, Pristinas exhibit unique attack patterns. They can unleash beams of energy from their crystalline bodies, which can inflict damage and sometimes status effects. Their movements are often described as graceful yet rigid, reflecting their mineral composition. Despite their often fragile appearance, they can be surprisingly resilient. Defeating Pristinas typically yields valuable crafting materials, such as Crystal Tears, which are used to upgrade Flasks of Wondrous Physick. Their enigmatic nature and striking visual design have made them a memorable element of Elden Ring's diverse bestiary.
