How to Change Your Character's Appearance

Travel to the Roundtable Hold

Roundtable Hold Entryway for Changing Appearance - Elden Ring
To change your character's appearance, you'll need to travel to the Roundtable Hold.

If you haven't reached this area yet, you'll need to progress in the game until Melina appears to the player while resting at a Site of Grace and offers to take you to the hold.

From your starting point at the Roundtable Hold, head to the entryway right in front of you into Fia's room.

Use the Dressing Table in Fia's Room

Use Dressing Table to Change Appearance - Elden Ring

All Starting Classes

Your Class will Affect Your Character's Initial Stats, Weapons, and Equipment

Elden Ring - Your Class will Affect Your Character

While you are free to design your character's appearance, their starting equipment and stats will be decided by the class you choose.

Each class has their own strengths and weaknesses, so choosing a starting class that suits your playstyle is always ideal. Take note that stat progression is always up to the player so you won't necessarily be locked from certain builds based on your starting character.

There are 10 starting classes to choose from.

Starting Classes
Vagabond Hero
Warrior Prisoner
Bandit Astrologer
Confessor Samurai
Wretch Prophet
