First off, sure, Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree could be very tough — practically as tough because the Web at massive is claiming it to be.

Nonetheless, as lately caught by GamesRadar, we noticed the recording of u/Gneurshk_, a participant who was giving every thing he had towards the ultimate boss within the DLC, solely to witness the boss vanishing after which dying from a mysterious hit that dealt it over 32,000 harm.

Spoilers for the ultimate boss of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree comply with.

FromSoft is understood for messing with gamers, however let me use the expertise gained from many hours making an attempt to carry this beast right down to guarantee you that this isn’t how the struggle is meant to go down.

Did the boss fall out of bounds to fulfill an outrageous quantity of fall harm? Did he try to make use of magic too highly effective even for the gods? Did Malenia get to him with out us noticing? We would by no means be taught the reply to those questions, however this example brings a few level that I discover price discussing.

Moreover this story itself, which is fairly humorous for outsiders to examine when everyone seems to be complaining in regards to the DLC’s problem, we must always delve into how may really suck rather a lot for a lot of gamers. A lot of gamers would see this as a complete blessing — particularly after hours of getting their asses kicked by this evil team-up between an overpowered beast and a literal god. Nonetheless, there are these, just like the participant in query, who’d see this occasion as however a merciless denial of their most wonderful second.

Many gamers complain in regards to the lack of a neater problem mode in Souls video games and, whereas I really feel like that’s a dialogue price having, I consider we must also start asking for a boss replay mode.

For those who’re a hardcore participant, the best reward in these video games isn’t the cool amulets or units of armor you get by venturing into essentially the most harmful locations and destroying the hardest bosses. It’s the boss fights themselves. Not getting direct entry to bosses you’ve already crushed seems like a missed alternative to many, particularly for those who by no means actually bought to beat them.

As of the time of this writing, there’s no recognized means of reproducing Radahn’s deadly coronary heart assault glitch, however this isn’t the primary recognized occasion of the same glitch in a sport by FromSoftware. I can attest to that, as I witnessed the very same sample of occasions once I first fought the Blood-Starved Beast in Bloodborne. I used to be additionally robbed of some victories in my first playthrough of Elden Ring, as my primary character fell proper earlier than I bought to kill the boss. Extra occasions than I’d wish to admit, the very last thing my character noticed was their mimic avenging their dying by dealing the final hit — and successfully stealing my glory.

For those who Gneurshk needs to provide this boss a rematch, they’ll should replay a big chunk of the bottom sport, then undergo the whole thing of the DLC. That’s lots of effort, an effort that may be nullified to the detriment of nobody if From simply provides a boss replay choice upon completion of the sport.

Now you can pray that god will cheese your enemies out of existence in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence X|S, and PC.
