The main attraction of any FromSoft game has always been its gameplay, andElden Ringis no exception. Following a similar gameplay formula to other games in FromSoft’s library likeSekiro: Shadows Die Twiceand theDark Soulsseries,Elden Ringcontinues the developer’s tradition of gameplay having an exceptionally high difficulty, forcing players to adjust to the learning curve as they play. While many players have managed to overcome several obstacles that the game has thrown their way, there are still times when the unexpected can happen.
In a clip posted to Reddit’s r/Eldenring, user roru2164 showcased their encounter with one of the many giant crows that appear throughout the world. While exploring, the player found a hidden message from another player, one of the manymultiplayer elements inElden Ring, that tells them that the flying enemy is in the area. However, upon immediately reading the message, the aforementioned bird appeared from seemingly out of nowhere and attacked the player.
The clip is downright hilarious, with the user’s funny edits really illustrating how frustrating playing a FromSoft game can be when one’s not prepared for the unexpected. Not only that, but the clip also displayshow chaoticElden Ringcan get, and why that stands out as most of the fun for many players.
So far,reviews forElden Ringhave described the game as an overall vast improvement of the FormSoft formula. While players may find themselves in rough circumstances, it’s hard not to find joy in the chaos of difficult games.
