A player of Elden Ring found themselves aided by an unlikely ally in their quest to locate a new Site of Grace within the game. As with other titles from developer FromSoftware, these sites serve as a crucial mechanic for players, providing access to vital gameplay features like character leveling and spell selection. In addition, they play a pivotal role in the game’s world design, with many of the game’s shortcuts and pathways built around these locations. This particular player’s journey was made easier thanks to the assistance of an enemy in their path.
While exploring Redmane Castle in Elden Ring, a player named Ennuispectre encounters a chest on the roof of a building. As they attempt to loot its contents, a Redmane Knight attacks them from behind, sending them flying to the bottom of the level with only a sliver of health remaining. However, the player lands next to a Site of Grace, allowing them to bypass most of the area. In the comments section, users joke about the knight's intentions and speculate about the factors that allowed the player to survive the fall, including high Vigor stats and potential damage reduction from objects at the bottom.
Fans of Elden Ring have been discussing the intricacies of fall damage and how it works in the game. Additionally, some players have expressed surprise that Ennuispectre is using a keyboard and mouse to play, as there is a belief that FromSoftware games are better suited for controllers. It's worth noting that the Site of Grace in Redmane Castle is located at the end of the level, and players can bypass a significant section of it with the help of the Redmane Knight. However, it's important to keep in mind that visiting the area after the Radahn Festival starts will result in the absence of certain enemies in Redmane Castle.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
