In an attempt to recreate a popular action movie trope, one Elden Ring player was quickly humbled by From Software's hit RPG title. A short clip of the incident demonstrates that despite being confident in one's ability, Elden Ring still remains a challenging game, even when it's least expected.

Since its release in February 2022, Elden Ring has proven over and over that it is no walk in the park when it comes to its difficult combat. Many players have been brutalized by the game's bosses and lesser enemies, causing the death of one's character to be an inevitable thing to deal with in the game. However, despite the notorious difficulty of Elden Ring, many of the game's fans have not only beat the game, but have gotten pretty good at the entire experience. Practice makes perfect, and many players have gained confidence in handling the game's mechanics and combat scenarios, but sometimes Elden Ring still manages to sneak up and take down players in a variety of unexpected ways.
