I'm combining two items here because I don't feel like writing separate entries for both.Before the Eclipse is welcomed into the realm of God Hand, the man once known as Griffith endures a continuous year of torture for sleeping with the princess from an important kingdom. His tongue is severed, his skin flayed, and the man is required to wear a mask made of iron. After his rescue by Guts and others of the Band of the Hawk, Griffith gradually recovers, however the mask remains to conceal the scars of his brutal incident.
Elden Ring players have drawn similarities between Griffith's mask and that of Prisoner class players who can choose at the beginning on the first day of play. There's no 1:1 comparison though, however the smocked eye on the prisoner's headwear matches the fact that Berserk rarely portrays a forward-facing Griffith wearing his mask. He tends to portray the mercenary in a state of torture with one eye obscured through the mask's shadow.
Furthermore, the Winged Helm worn by Elden Ring boss Malenia and eventually obtainable by players can easily be seen as an homage to a similar piece of armor Berserk antagonist-turned-ally Farnese wears during her time commanding the Holy Iron Chain Knights. Sure, this could easily be waved away since both were inspired by medieval depictions of Valkyries However, I prefer seeing them as directly connected because this is more entertaining.
