I found an Easter egg in Elden Ring that I never really see pointed out by anyone else.
The description for the Graven Mass talisman says,
The primeval current is a forbidden tradition of glintstone sorcery. To those who cleave to its teachings, the act of collecting sorcerers to fashion them into the seeds of stars is but another path of scientific inquiry.
The Graven Mass being a big ball of stone heads. The description above along with what a graven mass is and looks like is a reference to Katamari Damacy. In that game, the King of All Cosmos lost the stars and has his son the Prince make new ones by rolling up random things into a ball.
It’s one of my favorites because it’s an odd game to see a reference to Katamari in, but also the fact I think I might have been the first one to notice it and link them together.
If it is a Katamari reference, it’s kinda on theme with some of the extreme horror that comes out of FromSoft games (a barely perceptible alien causes minor inconvenience by rolling up your paperclips, suddenly causes total global extinction and sacrifices everyone and everything on the planet to the cosmos).

You are smart.
