The first Elden Ring gaffer I fought is so freaking weird I thought it was bugged
The first-class honours degree time I fought the Burial Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Watchdog, I really thought it was glitched. This was my very first boss fight in Elden Ring, maybe 30 minutes aft I started the game. I hadn't wandered the open world-wide for perennial before I stumbled upon a pair of doors set into a cliff, with steps leading down into catacombs filled with nasty microscopic gremlin enemies and some kindle-breathing statues. The keep was undersized, so within 10 minutes I'd arrived at the door to the boss's chamber. Steeling myself for an grand knight or some flailing hellbeast made raised of nothing by arms and blades, I entered and saw…
What did I see? It was so dark I could barely tell what I was about to be fighting, but I was pretty fated IT was a statue of a cat, wearing a cape, and keeping a sword rigidly upright in its hand. When the statue suddenly flew up into the air, with barely a hint of vivification to convey how it was mobile, I was sure that I'd run into a bug. Somehow this poor knob had spawned without proper textures, and instead of FromSoftware's typic lively, expressive living, information technology was floating around like the drunken remnants of a half-painted line of gameplay code.
Then I came back hours later on a separate character and fought the Burial Tree Guard dog again. That's when I complete that this thing is just utterly, comically weird. FromSoftware is making its biggest, grandest RPG ever, but it's still pickings the time to troll the underworl dead of us.
You can buzz off a good view this freakshow of a boss in the video above, but I feel compelled to break down every design decision that went into this thing. Who were you in your former life, Burial Tree Guard dog? Experience you been cursed into this form? Are you an ancient golem, protective these catacombs since time out of mind? Perhaps by poring over its all aspect we nates come to understand how IT fits into the greater Elden Encircle traditional knowledge and ravel out the secrets of The Lands 'tween…
Just kidding. I don't think this thing matters in the least. IT's fitting really funny:
- Organic structure resembles a chuck, face resembles a bucktooth lemur that just heard a yelled noise
- Definitely made of Oliver Stone
- Doesn't jump so much as tentatively floats into the air like a stuntman in a very bad B-movie
- Holds sword at a rigid 90 degree angle like a offensive butler with a candlestick
- Tail is ablaze??
- Wears a tattered red mantle with a golden taking into custody that's actually kind of lamentable, like a lone kid turning heavenward at a party as superman
- Head can rotate 180 degrees which is horrifying
I'm sorry I mentation you were a joke initially, Burial Tree Guard dog, because this channelise turn is some straight up, very effective body repugnance.
This is aside utmost the weirdest creature I ran into during the Elden Mob Network test. I mean, there's tons of weird thrust, but most of information technology is weird in the way I expect from FromSoft: a caravan of undead soldiers led by giants, a big blade beast locked in a black way, a undermine full of demihuman beastmen straight unstylish of 2001: A Quad Odyssey. You recognise, whol sane weird, right?
If there's one and only matter I'm hoping for from the full game, it's now to meet the rest of the Burial Corner Guard dog's family. Are there a Momma and Papa Watchdog out thither someplace? Cousins in the off-the-wall-flying-statue genealogy? God I hope sol. I've had enough of statues that relate life when they're just giant armored warriors with halberds and shields five times my sized. Make every statue boss a upset cat tool that looks like it's launching itself into the air with the great power of its own dirty farts. That's good fantasy.
