Elden Ring Video Shows Beast Repellant Torch in Action

One Elden Ring player shared a video showing the effectiveness of the Beast Repellant Torch and how it can be helpful. After a highly successful year, Elden Ring recently celebrated its first anniversary with several awards and accolades. The FromSoftware title received tremendous praise for its captivating storyline and unique gameplay mechanics like weapons scaling and status effects. Moreover, Elden Ring has hundreds of weapons, including swords, hammers, spears, and cannons.

Many Elden Ring weapons are better suited to fight certain foes due to their special properties. For instance, the Serpent-Hunter spear is an excellent weapon for fighting Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Another notable weapon from Elden Ring is the Beast Repellant Torch, which can be used to manipulate the behavior of particular creatures. Recently, a video was uploaded to Reddit by user cheflajohn that showcases the Beast Repellant Torch in action.

Elden Ring Player Defeats the Fire Giant With Only Punches

In the video, the player is seen facing off against a giant dog in the region of Caelid in Elden Ring. The monstrous dogs of Elden Ring are formidable opponents with powerful attacks and a large health pool. They have small forelegs and massive hindlegs and have the ability to chase down a target even when on a mount. However, cheflajohn has a secret weapon in the form of the Beast Repellant Torch. When the player equips the torch, the dog does not attack; instead, it circles and stares at them.

This behavior starkly contrasts when the player equips a different weapon, as the dog becomes aggressive and attacks violently. This demonstrates the utility of the Beast Repellant Torch, as it allows the player to avoid combat in situations in Elden Ring
