Elden Ringhas many incantations, including Darkness, which is perhaps underrated by some players. A recently uploaded video on Reddit shows how overpowered the Darkness incantation can be if used properly. Redditor AdranosGaming uploaded a short clip on the social media platform showing their adventures in The Lands Between. The video shows the user lurking in the shadows in Leyndell and being approached by an enemy. As soon as the enemy is close enough, AdranosGaming bombards it with the Darkness incantation to restrict its visibility. Then, the Redditor sneaks behind the foe to land a critical hit and drain its HP bar significantly.
The user repeats the process and lands a fatal blow on the second attempt. This particularElden Ringincantationcasts a cloud of black mist that makes it harder for enemies to spot the player, making it highly effective in a stealthy approach. Unsurprisingly, the post garnered massive praise from the Reddit community, as shown by nearly 5,000 upvotes and numerous positive comments. Many users were unaware of this special ability and thanked the original poster for generating awareness about it. Players can purchase this incantation from Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows. It should also be noted that the Darkness incantation doesn’t work against bosses and other powerful adversaries.
The enemy shown in AdranosGaming’s video is a Leyndell Knight, a humanoid tasked to protectLeyndell the Royal Capital inElden Ring. These knights wield a heavy sword and a massive shield and are considered extremely dangerous due to their highly protective armor and impressive combat skills. They are spirits of a particular Leyndell Knight, Kristoff, and can be summoned by using the Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
