    Elden Ring's first scary obstacle is a simple bridge

     

    A wooden, shaky bridge in a lot of games is simply an opportunity to Elden Ring Runes cross an in-between space to reach the next goal. However, In Souls game, FromSoftware often utilizes these atmospheric motifs to achieve more sinister goals. This is why I was astonished when Elden Ring presented me with this obstacle just a few minutes into my new adventure I was unable to help but be hesitant.

     

    Elden Ring opened with my character awakening in a structure known by the name of The Chapel Anticipation. After leaving the chapel, I was able to walk across an elongated swath of rock which I believe is located over the map of the game. I use the word "assume" because the terrain is so covered in a thick layer of fog that it's difficult to see the terrain below. The place I was was high and so high that one slip could mean an immediate death when I slid away from view.

     

    After a short run I came across this bridge. It was a rather sad thing constructed of old, creaking wood that was gently swaying in the kind of powerful breeze that you'd expect at this height. Ropes linked it to stakes that were buried deep into the rock, but something about the structure seemed suspicious. Dangerous, even. However, since the area around the chapel of Anticipation was tranquil in the majority of places I had to consider whether the bridge really emit negative vibes, or was I just anticipating the latest of FromSoftware's vile tricks?

     

    Although Souls games are adored for their brutal but rewarding combat, it does not mean that they don't include some truly sloppy pieces that are designed to kill players who aren't aware of it. The first of these instances I've ever experienced is the collapse of a parapet within King's Field: The Ancient City that drops you quite a bit to take you out if your health isn't at its maximum however it's an ploy FromSoftware employs in best place to buy elden ring items every Souls-like games that it releases.
