The Basilisk of the Rot has surprisingly useful Elden Ring tips
Basilisks can be a real pain, but Elden Ring players are doing what they’ve always done: finding humor in suffering. Enter the Basilisk of the Rot, a surprisingly helpful meme.
The big-eyed basilisks are back in Elden Ring, and they’re as keen as ever to chase you down in a pack in the most precarious places. If this isn’t your first FromSoftware rodeo, you know what to expect — death. Either you strike them all down when you get the chance, or they overwhelm you until you’re left cursed (or in this case, Death Blighted).
Except this one! As the meme goes, a tarnished hero approaches an all-knowing basilisk, and the beast hops up on a ledge and kind of just chills there, offering its insight.

Your results will vary — that goes for essentially every facet of the Elden Ring experience — but I bet you’ll pick up something new. If nothing else, the basilisk’s stupid face still cracks me up.

The amount of times this has saved me from myself is embarrassing from Eldenring
