Igon was one of the latest additions toElden Ringin theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. The NPC has a questline that runs alongside the main story which rewards players with various items once completed.
The voice actor of Igon, Richard Charles Lintern, recently opened up about the experience of working with Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware, highlighting some instances that once again prove why Miyazaki is known as a legend in the gaming community.
Igon Voice Actor Talked About The Experience Of Working On Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Richard Charles Lintern voiced one of the most iconic characters inElden Ring‘sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. In terms of his dialogue, he didn’t have much but still, working with Hidetaka Miyazaki proved to be challenging for him.

In a recent interview withIGN, Lintern explained that he didn’t directly interact with Miyazaki due to the language barrier but Miyazaki was very much involved in the process.
He expected his recording session to be short, but he spent “maybe five or six hours” recording his lines since Miyazaki is well known for being a perfectionist. Lintern said,
I would perform one of the lines – and then there would be a quite extensive conversation between Mr. Miyazaki and various other people around him in the room. Largely, I think the way things worked was, one of the other people would then speak to Adam, and explain what direction Mr. Miyazaki wanted to move in. But he, the mysterious figure in the center of the room, was very much in control of the entire operation.
Lintern explained that his recording could’ve been done in seven minutes but he ended up recording his lines “hundreds of times.” The job was challenging, but Lintern admitted that it was a good experience.
The Team At FromSoftware Was Very Serious About Igon’s Dialogues
Shadow of the Erdtree, which was dropped on June 21st, 2024, is undoubtedly FromSoftware’s biggest video game DLC ever. The expansion pack added new weapons, equipment, weapon skills magic, enemies, boss encounters, and plotlines.

Further in the interview, Lintern explained that the experience was completely different from anything he had worked on before. He added that everyone at FromSoftware, especially Hidetaka Miyazaki, was very serious about Igon’s dialogues,
The attention to detail that was given to the character and the performance was pretty much greater than anything I’ve experienced before – Comparable with characters in Shakespeare that I’ve played and stuff. People were taking it extremely seriously.
In the end, Lintern’s hard work paid off as Igonis easily one of the most popular NPCs in the gamenow. Igon’s monologue when he is summoned to aid the player in the fight against Bayle the Dragon is one of the main reasons why players love the character and it’s all because of Lintern’s efforts and Miyazaki’s vision.
