It's happened to all of us. We were making our way across Limgrave, still getting our bearings around Elden Ring, when, what we thought was a chest with some loot in it transported us to Caelid – pretty much hell in Elden Ring. It's one of the best and scariest parts of the game, almost like a warning of what we're eventually going to have to face.
We'll have to wait and see what exactly Elden Ring Nightreign is, but it's certainly not a straight-up sequel!
We've all fallen for the teleporting chest gag. But each of us has had varying experiences. Some of us died instantly against the first Caelid native we faced, others managed to retreat back to Limgrave without turning back, some poor souls lost tens of thousands of Runes thanks to that bloody chest.
It's soon going to be three years now, but I'm sure you all remember what happened when you got duped by the teleporting chest. Over on the Elden Ring subreddit, one new player posted about falling for it, resulting in a wave of nostalgia-filled comments about players' first experience of being transported from the starting region to arguably the most hostile region...
