What I remember most from the Sekiro launch is streamers gettingpranked by the Woo Guy, an enemy whose howling “woo” prompted players to look toward the sky just in time to watch a flying ninja flatten them like a cannonball. It was a perfect videogame moment.
Elden Ringis so massive that I wonder if its Woo Guy equivalent has even been found yet. The openness of its landscape also generates new kinds of unexpectedYou Diedmoments—my favorite so far is the accidental-looking kill that kicks off this roundup—so I suspect that Elden Ring will keep delivering new kinds ofFromSoftware-brand misfortune for a while yet.
Below, find some of the most entertaining ways people have died in Elden Ring so far. (That means there arespoilers for enemies and bosses in the videos ahead.)
