Lucky Elden Ring Player Survives Certain Death Thanks To a Tree

Elden Ring fans have had many interesting encounters with the game’s enemies, though one foe that often gets spotlighted is the Cleanrot Knight. Recently, an Elden Ring player’s encounter with one of these enemies went viral, as they survived its deadliest attack in an incredible way.

Not only do Elden Ring’s Cleanrot Knights boast some flashy armor, but they also have one of the most intimidating grab attacks in the game. The Cleanrot Knight grab sees the Knight impaling the player, and in co-op it can even catch two Tarnished with the same attack. While these stabs do severe damage, it is the throw that is the most dangerous parts of the ability. This is because Cleanrot Knights toss players back instead of just dropping them on the ground after inflicting Scarlet Rot.

This Cleanrot Knight throw has seen many Elden Ring players tossed to their demise, and in the clip posted by Reddit user DiscoAlchemist, it seems like this exact same thing was about to happen again. When progressing through Elphael, the player cut down a soldier only to be charged at by a Cleanrot Knight. Sure enough, they got impaled and lost half their health, being tossed right over a ledge after the damage was done. With a long drop in front of them, the player was likely sure they were doomed.

However, death was not in the cards for DiscoAlchemist’s Tarnished, as they managed to survive the fall thanks to a well-placed tree. Considering how thin the top portion of the plant that the Redditor landed on is, they got very lucky with their positioning. Seeing the shocked player heal up when surrounded by the tree’s foliage is entertaining, as is the moment where they slowly spin their camera
