A lucky Elden Ring player somehow survives an encounter with a Chariot in one of the game’s Hero's Graves. In addition to the massive open world, Elden Ring features a ton of different catacombs, caves, mines, and other locations, with many of them having a boss fight at the end.
Users will also come across a few Hero’s Graves throughout their playthroughs of Elden Ring, and these locations offer an added challenge in the form of Chariots. Players are required to solve a navigation puzzle of sorts to go past these fast-moving machines, as they can easily kill users due to their speed. While many Elden Ring gamers have likely died to these enemies in some way, one fan miraculously survives an encounter with a Chariot.
A Reddit user named Lonely_Promotion_661 has shared a clip in which they are trying to move past a Chariot in Elden Ring. It looks like the player tries to jump over the enemy unsuccessfully, with the resulting collision depleting a massive chunk of their health. Lonely_Promotion_661 lands on a small ledge due to the impact, but it looks like they will fall into the lava below after getting up. The lucky Elden Ring gamer rolls at that exact moment, allowing them to safely reach the area below as they use a couple of healing flasks to regain lost HP.
Users in the comments section appear just as surprised at Lonely_Promotion_661 surviving this incident, with many fans stating that the task “failed successfully.” One gamer believes that players will likely experience similar events in Elden Ring if they play it enough, while other customers comment on the ridiculous level of luck showcased in the video. One user calls Lonely_Promotion_661 the true Elden Lord, as they managed to pass the gravity test as well as the vigor test in Elden Ring.
Fans mention that this video is from the Gelmir Hero's Grave in Elden Ring, a location that is filled with traps and frustrating mechanics. Players do get some neat rewards upon completing this dungeon, but some users may need to have a high luck stat like Lonely_Promotion_661 to successfully complete it.
Overall, gamers appear highly impressed by the level of luck on display, and it’s possible to find other similar instances online. As an example, one Elden Ring player managed to survive an onslaught of attacks by making clever use of a Stonesword Key, as it allowed them to enter an underground location away from the enemy’s range.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
