In a major setback for an Elder Ring player, he has reportedly lost 10 million runes to fall damage after grinding for two days. The player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was attempting to traverse a dangerous chasm in the game when he slipped and plummeted to the ground. The massive fall cost him 10 million of his hard earned runes, which are the game’s in-game currency and used to purchase powerful upgrades and weapons.
The player had been grinding since the game’s release, and had built up a significant resource base throughout his journey. During the two-day grind, the player had put in hours upon hours of gameplay, facing off against difficult enemies and sifting through hordes of loot, all in an effort to acquire the runes he needed. However, just as he was on the cusp of his mission, the player’s character fell to his death and all his progress was lost in an instant.
The incident has sparked outrage from Elder Ring players, with many criticizing the game’s developers for not taking fall damage more seriously. Others have pointed out the player’s lack of caution during his hyph ensued attempt to reach greater heights. Nonetheless, all of those commenting on the issue have a unified opinion: fall damage is a serious threat with significant repercussions and the players need to be more mindful of it.
The incident serves as a good reminder of the importance of being mindful of potential risks while playing video games. This particularly applies to RPGs such as Elder Ring, which tend to have an intense amount of gameplay, making the player vulnerable to potential dangers. While the player may have lost a significant amount of resources, he can still take solace in the fact that it could have been worse, and use his experience as a lesson for going forward.
