Unintentional Divine Exploit in Elden Ring
Player's cunning strategy outwits formidable Godskin Noble in Elden Ring, paving an unexpected path to the Tower of Liurnia
The Godskin Noble appears multiple times throughout Elden Ring, but this particular encounter proved to be unexpectedly abrupt for this gamer. While cheesing bosses is a well-known tactic in FromSoft games, replicating this bridge-side topple may prove to be a challenge in Elden Ring. With over a year since its release and numerous awards under its belt, including 2022's Game Awards Game of the Year, fans eagerly await the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Judging by the studio's previous paid expansions, this DLC is expected to significantly enhance the already impressive game. Elden Ring represents FromSoft's most ambitious title to date, and fans anticipate that its forthcoming DLC will be just as groundbreaking.
A Reddit user recently shared their experience with the Godskin Noble boss in Elden Ring, who guards the Tower of Liurnia. The boss patrols a wide stonework bridge above the depths of The Lands Between and begins the fight by tucking into an asymmetric ball and rolling aggressively towards the player. The user, riding atop Torrent, quickly makes a U-turn as the boss attacks, finds a raised platform at the edge of the bridge, and leaps over the boss as it rolls forward. Godskin Noble tries to change its course but fails, and ends up falling off the bridge, resulting in its runes and wardrobe being transferred to the user's inventory.
From the original release of Demon's Souls in 2009 to the current Elden Ring, gamers have discovered various creative and amusing ways to defeat bosses in FromSoft's titles. With a wide range of utility and weaponry at their disposal, players have continuously pushed the limits of the game's mechanics in their quest for victory. While there are many different methods of cheesing bosses, the most popular seems to involve causing the boss to fall to their death from a great height.
Videos like mfkopp's are a testament to the enduring popularity of Elden Ring. Despite being released over a year ago, new strategies for defeating the game's many bosses continue to emerge. FromSoft's creation of The Lands Between was truly remarkable, showcasing their exceptional scale and ingenuity. Fans can expect to uncover thrilling new ways to conquer its diverse and imposing challenges for many years to come. Elden Ring is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
