Elden Ring Video Shows Why Not Being Able To Pet Dogs Is a Good Thing

Not all dogs are friendly, and an Elden Ring video has demonstrated how trying to pet a hulking dog creature can be fatal. FromSoftware’s latest dark fantasy launched to near-universal acclaim last week, with players praising Elden Ring for its punishing gameplay and deep lore — courtesy of Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. In Elden Ring, players are put in the role of a custom-made Tarnished, a warrior that has been banished from the Lands Between and charged with gathering the lost runes of the titular Elden Ring to become an Elden Lord — all while traversing a rugged landscape filled with creatures and enemies trying to brutally kill them in typical Dark Souls fashion.

The internet is already filled with players jumping into the dark universe of Elden Ring, as demonstrated by Elden Ring enjoying the third-biggest Twitch debut of all time mere days after the game launched. Aside from the daunting quest that makes up Elden Ring’s primary storyline, fans have been exploring the game’s open-world setting and playing around with Elden Ring’s in-depth character creator to build playable versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Witcher 3’s Ciri, and even Ross Gellar from Friends in Elden Ring. Others have used Elden Ring’s online messaging system to send humorous messages and warnings to their fellow Tarnished on the dangerous foes ahead of them — including the ones that Elden Ring players might want to pet or hug at first.
