The Mystery
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of Elden Ring, announced that there was a final secret hidden within the game that no one had found. While there were initially several articles written claiming that the secret was a minor lore detail contained on an obscure shield, the general consensus was that this idea of a "final secret" was a hoax perpetrated by Miyazaki to fuel entertaining speculation about the game, something he had done in the first Dark Souls game. This was because despite the combined efforts of the army of data miners and lore hunters that make up the game's fanbase digging through the very code of Elden Ring since its release, no one had been able to find anything notable enough to be considered THE final secret. Until now.

The Discovery#
The final secret is that Elden Ring is the process captured within Marcel Duchamp's "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even", referred to hereafter as "The Large Glass". Whereas Duchamp created the Large Glass to be a four dimensional process (the fourth dimension being time) represented two dimensionally, the game is the three dimensional interpretation of the events as they occur within the work of art itself. The entirety of The Large Glass is transcribed into the game, down to the smallest details. Duchamp documented his vision for The Large Glass in The Green Box, a collection of notes and sketches published in 1934.

Understanding The Large Glass#
The Large Glass tells a story of unrequited love within two planes of shattered glass, the lower Realm of the Bachelors and the higher Realm of the Bride. Duchamp described The Large Glass as "a delay in glass" in the same way one would say "a poem in prose", with the events happening in "a world of yellow" repeating themselves over and over in a never ending cycle.
