According to one report, an Elden Ring player had discovered a simple attack animation technique that prevented them from dying prematurely. Elden Ring follows in the footsteps of previous FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, with lots of tough bosses and even seemingly innocuous critters like dung beetles that may kill a novice Tarnished in quick order. FromSoftware’s renowned “You Died” message will be displayed numerous times in Elden Ring’s open-world environment, despite the game’s open-world design enabling players to go around especially challenging arenas and opponents. Elden Ring’s Tree Sentinel and Godfrey, The First Elden Lord are formidable opponents, but gravity itself may be more harmful and recurrent in Elden Ring.
While trying to dodge an assault or wave hello to a friend, characters in Elden Ring might receive fall damage, resulting in many players meeting their demise by accident. With the use of the Longtail Cat Talisman, certain Elden Ring players have managed to mislead their foes into falling down the cliff themselves, and they’re even immune to fall damage as a result. When their Tarnished does fall off the high ground, some players have been looking for ways to prevent falling or receiving damage. An unusual Elden Ring gameplay footage was just shared to r/Eldenring by Reddit member Aiseadai, who claims to have discovered a possible new way to escape falling damage.
The player may supposedly see if their Tarnished will fall during the attack animation if they attack the brink of a cliff, however, GameRant subsequently revealed that this method does not work exactly. Aiseadai states that if the fall is non-lethal, the Tarnished will fall harmlessly to the earth below. To keep them from falling to their demise on the merciless rocks below, if the fall in Elden Ring does harm or kills them, the Tarnished will reportedly remain on the edge until the attack animation plays out.
Some Elden Ring players have pointed out in the comments that this isn’t always the case in actual fighting and that it may have more to do with ledges themselves than with fall damage. This month has seen an influx of clips of Elden Ring players pulling unique stunts and displaying incredible modifications, with one specific Elden Ring Twitch Livestream being the site’s third most-viewed feed in history only a few days after the game’s debut.
It’s not just the pitfall death that Elden Ring players have to worry about; they’ve also been slammed to death by goats and defeated tough foes by sitting back and relying on their summoned spirits to do the job for them! It’s been less than a month since Elden Ring was released, yet it has already become one of the most popular video games of 2022 because of its open-world environment and the thrill of discovering new tricks and hidden elements. In the Lands Between, Aiseadai hasn’t unearthed a simple way to avoid plummeting to your death from the cliffs, therefore Elden Ring players are still advised to avoid a panic roll off a ledge during an intense boss encounter.
