An Elden Ring player suffered an unfortunate and anticlimactic bug, instantly killing them as they attempted to approach an optional boss in the game's new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The player attempted to take out the infamous Putrescent Knight, an optional boss featured in Shadow of the Erdtree, but quickly faced the most unforgivable obstacle in Elden Ring: gravity.
Elden Ring's new Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is absolutely massive, adding to the game's already daunting list of things to do, weapons to upgrade, and enemies to vanquish. Shadow of the Erdtree was released in June 2024 and has been met with high levels of praise since. Players commended developer FromSoftware for the sheer size and scope of the DLC, as well as the incredible variety of new enemies and locations. However, Shadow of the Erdtree also faced some controversy due to the level of difficulty with its bosses. Some players felt the new expansion was simply too hard, with bosses like Chief Bloodfiend proving to be a major roadblock. One player recently struggled to even get into the arena for one of Shadow of the Erdtree's most secretive bosses, sharing an unfortunate yet hilarious clip online.
The fight...
