MMOEXP: Elden Ring has to be a beautiful fellow by the name
The first time I came across one of these fields, it immediately brought to mind me of Berserk's legendary Hill of Swords. In the manga Elden Ring Runes and the anime the Hill of Swords is meant as a tribute to wounded soldiers of Band of the Hawk, the mercenary army that served as the protagonists for the majority of its initial run. Rickert was one of the remaining soldiers of the band, forges the countless blades of the Hill of Swords as tribute to his former fellow soldiers.
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. It's possible to be dismissed since both were inspired by medieval depictions of Valkyries but I prefer seeing them as being directly linked because it's more enjoyable.
Then, the most memorable Berserk reference is in Elden Ring apart from the sword fields. Elden Ring, like previous Souls games, conceals the world's building in its descriptions of the items. It's often the best method to discover the reason why someone did something important or who's related to whom and, therefore, it's a good be logical that homages to Berserk may be hidden in the description of the flavor also.
This is akin to the remarks made in Guts' Dragon Slayer in Berserk, which in the very first Chapter of the buy Elden Ring Runes Manga is referred to as the "raw stack of iron" that is "much too big to be called an actual sword." Characters are frequently blown away that Guts can carry such a weapon due to its size. However, due to his incredible ability, he's been able to make use of it to cut through anything that stands in his way. The two weapons even look like each other, but that could just be because they're both massive swords.
