Forum / Problèmes techniques / MMOEXP : The moment that Ginz came across Elden Ring

After the release of Elden Ring Runes this month, players were able to see that the most recent FromSoftware game has many more than superficial similarities with their Souls predecessors. The notorious Dark Souls bug can still be found deep in the recesses of Elden's software, and it could also provide many exciting opportunities for speedrunning enthusiasts.

The first evidence I can find of this bug, also known in the form of the "deathcam" glitch that occurs in Elden Ring comes from a video uploaded on the day of its release, February 25. One speedrunner named Ginz discovered that tumbling off a particular cliff makes the game believe you've fallen to your death , without being able to touch"the "kill plane" an invisible part of the geometry of the level which, well, can kill you.

This sets Elden Ring's camera into deathcam mode, looking down on the player to better capture them falling into whatever hole, pit or cliff that was thought to be deadly. However, as you can see on the screen above Ginz is still able to move around and may have even returned to the solid ground with the double jump by Torrent's spectral steed even if they had not fallen once more.

The deathcam glitch can be observed in numerous previous Souls games such as Bloodborne as well as Dark Souls 3, but it's most well-known in the original Dark Souls, where it can be utilized to sequence break into Sen's Fortress. In that game, the bug is activated by positioning an enemy such that they are riposting them for a short time, which forces you out of your bounds and triggers the deathcam. Since certain objects won't load when the glitch is in effect, you're free to walk right into Sen's Fortress even if its gate is down.

The moment that Ginz came across Elden's Deathcam flaw almost two weeks ago, players have found numerous areas to activate the bug, some far more beneficial than others.Elden Ring's speedrun methods currently focus on playing efficiently rather than exploiting a couple of glitches, but I'm sure there's more than one player out there looking for ways to skip bosses or even whole regions using the latest game's deathcam. It's only a matter time before players blow up Elden Ring Items buy massive world wide open and I'm anxious to see how quickly they can do it.
