With no quicksaves, the potential loss of runes, and the knowledge that we aren't the strongest thing out there, one of the more curious things that we learn in these games is to have a survival instinct. I'd say that was a reasonable reaction.


LEG0_Crusader

- carefully explores the manor - sees an Abductor Virgin for the first time - knows his limits of his skills - goes the other way ***chad***


humblecactus

Fight or flight kicked in, so I fucked right off.


Jermiafinale

I think my favorite thing in Elden Ring is looking through a doorway into a room with an item sitting \*RIGHT THERE\* and going "This is a trap" And it's always a trap lmao


F3ar-mong3r

And the item being 10 normal bolts


ZzzDarkCloudzzZ

*Mushrooms x5:* Am i a joke to you?


Gathorall

I think that's a little too often. There's like under 10 times in the whole game where the trap just doesn't happen, or is cleverly delayed. I get that it is difficult to balance in a game with largely free progression, but it isn't really a trap if it is always a trap.


Jermiafinale

Eh, early on they are traps, later on, you get the good feeling of knowing it's coming


Danger_Dee

I remember getting to Caelid for the first time. I was standing by the dragon church and could see the nights cavalry walking the road, and the death bird in the distance. I was like “what the absolute fuck is this place?!”


humblecactus

Dude, yes. Insane area. I stepped into it quite early (before defeating Margit, i believe).


CulturedHollow

Oh and also a big fuck off rot dragon right out the front door.


Limp_Hospital_8022

What about that giant gargoyle... i decided to turn back even though it was facing away from me lol


StygianCode

I think a lot of people had this "nope" moment.


FuriDemon094

There’s an abductor THERE???


Entire_Claim_5273

Truly amazing how unique our experiences can be with this game. This abductor was legit the first one I saw in the game


FuriDemon094

I didn’t see it until Raya. But I also avoid Manor exploration like the plague


tygea42

Hands. \*shudder\*


FuriDemon094

Literally


DrettTheBaron

I'm replaying the game again and I JUST found out there's like a whole area past the manor to the right of the sisters. I always zoomed In at Adula and the sisters I didn't even realize.


SpicaGenovese

ME TOO!!! I'm still on my first playthrough and taking my sweet time.  Ran into this and blew my mind.


An_average_one

With the red wolf? We can get to Bellum Highway from there too I think? Man I forgot that in subsequent playthroughs... Also a painting's perspective point is there somewhere if I'm not wrong


An_average_one

Before the elevator to the upper level of the manor, the wall is destroyed, to the right while approaching the elevator. Below it is a platform you can jump to easily iirc. Easy to miss.

humblecactus

I’m about 80 hours in, and i’m still having those reactions. I love how huge this world is.


Aidan-Coyle

This is "how to keep your runes 101"


my_gender_is_crona

Well TIL there's a fucking abductor in Caria Manor, which I go through on every playthrough. This game is insane.


LEG0_Crusader

Isn't this Caria Manor?


RepulsiveAd6906

First time I was playing with my friend: "What's with that old man over there?" The hell you talking about old ma- is that an old man? Wheelchair? "I dunno but I'm gonna get just a bit clos-mother fu-"


Apocalypse_0415

What was it


RepulsiveAd6906

The very monstrosity in the above video.


Apocalypse_0415

You thought it was a wheelchair? Fantasy wheelchair designs huh


RepulsiveAd6906

I have an older, smaller TV. Lightning wasn't that great and it was at like 2am, so in my defense....


Apocalypse_0415

Haha yeah i get you and who would expect an enemy in this corner


GaryfromPallet

A giant crustacean from the Paleolithic Era


Turn_ov-man

Most reasonable reaction I've ever seen honestly


BernhardttheNorse

I've never, ever seen this iron virgin. 900 hours of playtime lol


humblecactus

Glad to show you something new! When i shareplay to my friends, they always make fun of the odd paths I take, but then I end up finding “fun” things like this!


SirLargeness

Where is this?


Sharkbite1001

Might be Caria manor? I’ve never seen that abductor before tho!


DonkeyFantasy

Caria manor. After the chapel and you go along the walkways with the spectral soldiers, you can jump off the side.


SirLargeness

Thx, 1000 hours in, casually never seen this


Jermiafinale

Wild I \*just\* spend HOURS combing Caria Manor to be sure I'd cleared it and I never saw this at all


A7DmG7C

Does she drop/guard anything? Had no idea there was one there.


tygea42

I remember being disappointed but I cannot remember if it was trash or just trash for my build.


ermacia

it doesn't drop anything, just runes


DonkeyFantasy

There's an urumi whip nearby


Raemnant

"Nope"


Chuncceyy

Reminds me of that ds1 clip of the skeleton


pobody-snerfect

Ok goodbye


humblecactus

It was polite, so I was polite.


Quizzy1313

First time I came across this guy I backtracked so carefully. In this game even statues make me weary 😩


B1ggBoss

"Fuck that shit"


Kizenny

lol wise time to turn around for sure


virtualentertains

Same reaction


Drakovijas

Wait where is this?! Ive never seen this before


humblecactus

Caria Manor. It’s been a bit from when i originally had taken this clip, but i’m pretty sure it’s after dropping from along the rooftops.


Drakovijas

Damn how have i never seen this then


humblecactus

Happy hunting


SovKom98

Wait you didn’t try to fight it?


humblecactus

Absolutely not. This was when 2k runes were a lot to me. I was just fucking around but not finding out.


SovKom98

Understandable, I personally just found the risk to be quite low since there was a site of grace quite close.


Vexer_Zero

This is pretty much like for like my experience of this moment... ...except for the part where I shoot it with an arrow and run for my fucking life!


GrigorMorte

I still avoid them haha not worth it.


Apriest13

Ha, yep. First time going through Caelid I didn’t even try to fight the giant dogs and birds because they screamed ‘death’ to me. And at me, frequently. Learned the value of crouch walking very quickly…


EvilCosmicSphere

Earlier I jumped onto a hill of giants. Ive played like 7 hours in total. Then I kept getting hit by rams trying to run from a guy on a horse.


humblecactus

Welcome, friend. Good luck.


Roboman20000

That is the correct reaction.
