Elden Ringwill certainly go down in the history books as one of themost difficult games of this generation, with FromSoftware picking up exactly where it left off with games such asDark Souls,Bloodbourne, andSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The game immediately thrusts players into a fight designed to kill the player and things don’t get any easier from there.Elden Ringis full of plenty of tough enemies and extremely difficult boss battles that will really test a player’s skills and ability as a gamer. However, sometimes the game does take pity on players and the stars can align to makeElden Ringjust a little easier.

In a Reddit clip posted by u/_Gronberg, the player is taking on the Flying Dragon Greyll boss, a verymenacingElden Ringfoethat can be very time-consuming and extremely difficult to defeat due to the boss being able to fly, which makes it difficult to land attacks and also makes it easy to fall victim to them.

In the clip, Flying Dragon Greyll can be seen flying across the bridge using its fire attacks, which the player manages to avoid, when it gets towards the end of the bridge it suddenly stops in its tracks with its idle animation playing. After 10 seconds Flying Dragon Greyll suddenly plays its death animation and its health completely depletes, which is lucky for the player as it had approximately 90% of its health remaining. The “Great Enemy Felled” text then appeared on the screen to signal that theElden Ringboss had been defeated, meaning that the game recognized the defeat and the player wouldn’t have to reload their game and attempt the fight again and could simply move on with their playthrough.

Judging by the comment section of the post, this doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident, and it is something that many players have experienced and there seems to be a logical explanation for it occurring. The game sees many of its larger enemies, such asDragons and Giants, fighting in small cramped areas, such as the bridge in this clip. When a player or enemy gets stuck in the terrain, after a set amount of time the game will kill whoever is stuck, this is to prevent a player from being unable to continue. With the area of the boss fight being very cramped, the Dragon must have gotten stuck in the terrain, even though it appeared to be flying in the air, which caused the game to eliminate Flying Dragon Greyll to continue the game.

Elden Ringis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
