One of the new areas of the DLCElden Ring is called the abyssal woods. A strange creature lives there that you can’t really fight. The idea is then to escape from him.
The extension ofElden Ring welcomes us to a brand new region, called the Shadow Realm. It is made up of various places, each more fascinating than the last. One of them is called the Abyssal Woods. As its name suggests, it takes the form of an immense dark forest, in which you don’t really want to set foot (you can’t see much there and you can’t call upon to our mount, frightened).
The abyssal woods, which remain a fairly late zone when playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (accessed from a hidden coffin, located in the Black Castle), pits us against a strange creature. In appearance, she does not seem very powerful: she seems to be dragging her misery around, with her illuminated head (resembling a lantern) and her cane. In reality, it is very, very painful.
There is infiltration in the DLC ofElden Ring
When you try to hit these seemingly harmless creatures, absolutely nothing happens. And for good reason: we can’t touch them. On the other hand, they do not hesitate to plunge us into a state of dementia, then disappear to come and stab us. If you try to escape, they will chase you for a very long way, and you will then have to dodge at the right time to avoid dying.
How to survive against these particularly tough adversaries? The first option is to opt for infiltration. We notice that the places where these creatures roam are filled with tall grass. Neither one nor two, we crouch and move forward while monitoring the enemy circle. Attention, FromSoftware, studio behind Elden Ring, thought of a little additional trap: there are strange flowers that emit a powerful sound if you touch them, which will immediately alert the creatures. It is really necessary to pay attention to everything.
The alternative involves engaging in combat and making a perfect parry as the creature attempts to finish us off. The timing is particularly tight and only the most talented people will be able to achieve it. In case of failure, it is game over assured.
To see everything from Shadow of the Erdtree, you will inevitably have to pass through these abyssal woods, even though it is an atrocious environment. With this strategy based around infiltration, the journey should be a little simpler.
