The tables always turn a few months after the launch of a FromSoftware game. Where the game defeats, nay, humiliates players at launch, they always get their revenge a few months later. This is achieved in a number of ways – the 'git gud' technique of beating the game at its own… game, using mods to level the playing field, or datamining to find all its dirty little secrets. Most of us are done with merely beating Elden Ring, now it's time to humiliate it.
Player Takes Down Margit With A Harp
Margit is the first fight where most of us got stuck. The Fell Omen would jump down from the ramparts, trash talk, and proceed to obliterate us. However, as time passed, Margit was revealed to be the pushover he truly is. So much so, that a player has beaten him using an actual harp.
You read that right, Anna Ellsworth turned their harp into a working controller, with each string button-mapped to a particular action. The harp was connected to their PC, which ran two softwares – one to detect the pitch and the second one to turn that into keystrokes. I guess you can say she went with the ultimate bard build.
Dataminer Finds Scrapped Questlines
Humiliating the toughest bosses with obscure controllers not working out for you? Don't worry, there are other ways. Take dataminer Sekiro Dubi for instance – they have found things about Elden Ring that even the game itself didn't know. Things like an NPC or two who were originally planned to have their own questlines that were later scrapped – how embarrassing!
Sekiro Dubi's datamining skills uncovered that Vyke – a.k.a. the dude on the cover – was originally supposed to show up at Stormveil Castle and challenge Godfrey, the first Elden Lord. The game's code also revealed an unused character model of Godfrey at Stormveil Castle. Secondly, they found out that the game's first merchant, Kalé, also had a long quest, culminating in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, where he would reveal that the Grand Caravan was buried alive along with the Three Fingers.
Fan Brings Let Me Solo Her To Dark Souls 3 For Its Hardest Boss
Let Me Solo Her is the community legend who helped out troubled Tarnished with their attempts at defeating Malenia. Since it was such a bullshit fight, Let Me Solo Her offered their aid to downtrodden players – wearing nothing but a pot on their head and a katana in each hand – helping to defeat the Blade of Miquella. And he's done so 1,000 times. How does that feel Malenia?
Inspired by this legendary Tarnished, one Dark Souls 3 player going by 'Let Me Solo Him' has decided to put on the onion helmet, pick up dual katanas, and help out those struggling with the toughest boss of the game, the Nameless King.
Elden Ring's Song Lyrics Are Computer-Generated Gibberish
Let’s kick them while they're down. Elden Ring has no problem doing that, so why should we? You’ll have heard a few somber and scary songs that play throughout the game – ones that swell during combat and fill you with dread as you fight some nightmarish monstrosity. It turns out they don't mean anything.
A student studying Latin took to Reddit to explain that they spoke to the lyricist while researching the lyrics to one of the tracks, Song of Lament. They revealed that this was the only track with actual lyrics.
What's more, some of the game's music producers apparently confirmed that "99% of the lyrics in the game are not in any language at all and don't mean anything." It turns out that most of the lyrics were computer generated and tweaked to sound like an ancient language. Okay, now we're just feeling sorry for you, Elden Ring.
