FromSoftware fans have been enjoying all the content Elden Ring has to offer over this past weekend. Elden Ring's Lands Between is host to prolific and optional areas for players to explore, many of which are rife with hidden dungeons, rewards, and bosses. Because of how vast each landscape is, and because Elden Ring's open-world offers crucial non-linearity in its progression, each player's experience will be different.
Players can choose to approach the Lands Between at their own pace, and there are numerous new areas to explore if players are currently stuck or under-leveled somewhere. Some content may go completely overlooked while players may find certain items that others have not found until they explore elsewhere. But one set of items has been topical lately for Elden Ring fans with regard to its peculiarity. Fans have noted the similarities between one of Elden Ring's enemies, their associated gear, and a particular fast-food mascot.
Redditor Alarming-Stand-1343 has shared a comparison image between a Raya Lucaria Sorcerer and the Burger King mascot. Indeed, the similarities are uncanny; both characters are cloaked in robes, have detailed beards and hair, and wear crowns. Furthermore, both characters' faces are static heads without movement. Elden Ring's Raya Lucarian Sorcerer Set, however, has four different headpieces that can be found and worn, each with a different personage sculpted into it.
Redditor meatygonzalez hilariously notes that the Burger King is a veteran character in the gaming industry. The Burger King mascot featured in the PocketBike Racer, Sneak King, and Big Bumpin' "advergames" installments for the original Xbox and Xbox 360. Elden Ring's "stealth play," as meatygonzalez states, is perfect for the Sneak King protagonist. Perhaps players will role-play as the Burger King and perform stealth-based runs of Elden Ring in the future, but until then players continue to enjoy all that Elden Ring has to offer.

Elden Ring's enemy and boss designs are wildly imaginative and suitably fit the atmosphere of each location. The Raya Lucarian Sorcerer Set can be found as a drop from the Raya Lucaria Sorcerers themselves in the Academy of Raya Lucaria, but it is likely that the gear set may be available elsewhere for purchase or collection as well. This is only one of the unique armor sets players can find in Elden Ring, but it has certainly been an interesting topic lately with how eerily similar it is to the Burger King mascot's aesthetic.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
