An Elden Ring player discovers a new interaction between enemies after playing the game for 800 hours. Elden Ring features a massive open world that is filled with secrets, and users are still discovering new elements over a year after its launch.
As an example, one fan figured out a new trick to discover illusory walls in Elden Ring after 700 hours. They stated that illusory walls in the catacombs of Elden Ring were missing a selection of bricks at the bottom, while also sharing a short clip as proof. Now, another player comes across a unique enemy interaction they had not seen before despite playing the game for 800 hours.
A Reddit user named IronArtorias has shared a video from Elden Ring with this newly discovered interaction, and it opens with the player fighting the Great Wyrm Theodorix boss. The enemy has around a fourth of its health left, and it seems like the player will obtain the victory, only for them to aggro a nearby Giant Land Octopus. IronArtorias manages to defeat this enemy as they turn their attention back to Theodorix, who looks to be fighting a different opponent in the distance. Another Giant Land Octopus enters the battle at the same time, and it too manages to catch the attention of the boss.
The final section of the video features an unexpected fight between Great Wyrm Theodorix and a Giant Land Octopus, as the player watches the two enemies battle it out from a distance. In the post’s title, IronArtorias claims to have never seen enemies interact this way in Elden Ring despite playing the game for 800 hours.
Some users in the comments section ask about the location of the fight, with IronArtorias confirming that this battle takes place in the Consecrated Snowfield region in Elden Ring. Other fans claim to have defeated Great Wyrm Theodorix using a similar method, as they successfully managed to make the boss fight the octopuses nearby. This appears to be a more popular tactic, as a few gamers state that Theodorix has no chance against even a small group of these enemies.
The rest of the comments feature users sharing stories of how they beat Great Wyrm Theodorix in their playthrough of Elden Ring. It’ll be interesting to see if this tactic can be applied elsewhere in Elden Ring, as users will often find themselves facing off against multiple enemies at the same time.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
