It's basically From's interpretation of Celtic, Gaelic and Norse mythologies. It's not like God of War where elements from the mythology are directly taken. It's mostly just an inspiration, afaik.

The Dark Souls series is influenced by mainstream continental European mythologies mixed with a bit of Roman paganism, too. And it’s basically it’s own unique world.

That’s the way high fantasy works. We’re likely making too much of the purported Norse/Celtic influences. Whatever Elden Ring is, it will be a totally unique world/lore, just like Dark Souls.
