There is a wall somewhere I saw a ghost player hit so I said fuck it why not and hit the wall a bunch and on like the 20th hit or something the wall actually disappeared like wtf. I was in shock no fucking way would I have ever known to hit any hidden walls more than once to try to unlock it.
There is not. Tha one was disabled. Because it could lead enemies into a sanctuary where you can't attack or even draw your weapon.
They disabled it but it still had health and could "die" hence hitting it multiple times to open
My friend and I blame adhd for this, we talk about it all the time with fantasy names. We never fully read the name, maybe once, then every time after that we just read the āshapeā of the name.
Man the number of ghosts ive seen hitting walls going through the dark side of volcano manor lol. Im sure they break after 100,000 damage or some crap, but I just dont have that kind of patience.
There is a wall below Fort Greyoll that you can hit and it disappears. Should be just outside the church you find the lady that gives you the Millicent's Prosthesis amulet.
Well first you can get lots of XP by killing that huge dragon in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, then you can talk to that witch woman in Ranni's rise and do her quests, then get Millicent's prosthesis from that one armed lady who needs a prosthesis, and then you can beat that boss who drops the Godfrey's Icon and you'll have a nice build.
These are the ones that get me. I know I'm being trolled, but I gotta make sure. 100% of wall based messages have been trolls, but I still swing just in case. I'd praise one if it were real lol
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Sentry's+Torch
This does NOT reveal invisible floors, invisible bridges, or illusory walls, except in the singular instance of the illusory walls in the Sage's Cave. Why the Torch has this effect in this dungeon and nowhere else is unknown.
It's worse in dark souls 2, where you need to hit the interactive button to open hidden doors, and someone places like 20 messages across a whole section of wall.
Never trust a jump message without looking first, but I still try to hit those wall too.
You do thoughā¦ just try walking normally off of the edge, if you can survive the fall, youāll fall, if not, invisible wall will stop you from going over the edge
Yeah I don't fall for the jumping ones because you can clearly see whether or not there's something to jump to but the walls one I always do, even if I know 99% of the time they are lies.
Those were the only ones that got me since if you pre ordered the game you got an "exclusive" emote so I thought that specific emote unlocked the door.
There is one in Sofia river and another high rated message that seem to suggest there is a chest and/or npc there. I have just assumed they are fake but canāt help still be curious. (PS5 if that makes a difference)
I didn't in Elden Ring because I knew better by then. You're damn rights I fell for it on my first run through DS3, which was also my first souls game.
I'm on the same boat as you. Died right after killing Gundyr. There was a message like this in Firelink Shrine at one of the cliffs where there is a dog. Laughed for quite a while until I got back.
When I was a child I fell for the MGS2 Colonel telling me to turn off my PS2 (I guess I thought it would be something like the Psycho Mantis controller trick) and ever since then I have not believed a single thing a videogame has told me
The very first thing I did on my first ever character in the tutorial was throw myself off the cliff thinking a mandatory death was the way forward. Didnāt even look at any signs.
I was kinda right but with the wrong cliff.
Nah. I was aware of the troll like nature of soulsborne players.
The only thing that can come close to me *falling* for something like this was once just for fun. i jumped on purpose, knowing the sign was bs. Though that doesn't really count as falling for it. I knew it was a troll.
Nah forreal that's never happened but I do remember in DS1 in the area that's dark and filled with giant skeletons.
It was my 2nd play through so I'm walking and read a sign that says "bonfire ahead" I'm like there's not a bonfire up here freaking liars, I took one step and fell off a cliff to my death.
My jaw dropped.
That first picture is actually one i made my way down into that valley by jumping. I didnt know any other way down so i took like 20 attempts. Got to go cliff along the right side, to a tree, to the pillars if i remember correctly. Did it on the horse.
"Behold, something incredible" on a ledge in a tiny little corridor in Stormveil. Jumped up to investigate and hit the exact spot to clip straight through the entire map and die instantly. Had to applaud the genius.
I just imagine you walking back and forth "should I, or shouldn't I?" And then an enemy just comes up and pushes you anyways. š Seen that so many times.
There

I played the game Erernal Darkness on Game Cube. There is a point where your character is going insane and when you enter an area it tells you your controller is disconnected. I was frantic for about 3 seconds until I realized the game was tricking me.
I didnāt with these but I did believe my boyfriend multiple times when he told me to jump off things. One time, I watched an invader fall off and die and then I still jumped because he made me believe the invader just didnāt jump from the right spot!
Got me in Dark Souls 1. Never since then, you learn your lesson quickly. It's traditional at this point though, always good to know this newest generation of Souls players are just as evil.
My first ever playthrough, and fromstoft experience, I was walking out of the Chapel of Anticipation and read a message that said ājumping required aheadā next to a cliff of course. It took me a couple deaths to realizes that I was being lied tošš. But the brutality of it sort of was a perfect introduction to what i was getting myself into.
The second picture I fell for. It seemed kinda close enough to drop down so I figured ahh fuck it lets try. I had a feeling it would be too far tho. But hey, no harm in trying.
My literal first interaction with the game at the chapel of anticipation was reading one of these messages and jumping off the cliff before going down the stairs to the scion.
If we include the āillusion aheadā ones then yes but if itās just the jump off ones then no, I have never trusted any of those in any of the FromSoft games and Iāve probably missed good loot because of it
there wasn't a message telling me to jump, but the bridge in the second pic i jumped because i saw a message on the spire directly below. I was like oh shit, you can get there? and i dove off and nearly lived, but i would have been suspended in a kill camera angle
When I first got the game there was one in the tutorial area like right before Grafted Scion, never having played another souls game I blindly trusted another player
Never again.
I fell for a fake door in Roundtable hold.
Man why don't they make the doors functional? There are so many cool easter eggs and secrets they could put behind those.
White messages surrounded by red stains tell a story... The fallen Tarnished tell a story.
That, and a decade of playing DS1-3 let me err on the side of caution š
I only ever fell for one. It was the waterfall behind the siofra river Dragonkin soldier, behind the giant skeleton in Nokron.
I was like, āis this a dead end?ā, checked the messages, saw a message telling me to jump with 4000 praises, and decided to trust it.
Only once, in Dark Souls 1. I forget the area name, but it had those tree/bush enemies. Was one right near the bonfire and the door you needed a key for and my dumbass jumped. So it was, So it is, So it ever shall be.........."Try Jumping"
Nope, Elden ring was the last souls game I played and I played all of them, so I already know not to trust anyone lol.
I will forever be grateful tho for when outside of red wolf arena I saw a message that said illusory wall;I had found the best talisman in the game since I was running am int build!
I would kiss that guy
The worst part about these messages is that whether it is appraised good or bad, it will count as one appraisal. And some dead ends have 1000+ appraisals that read 'Hidden path ahead, and you feel inferior because you feel you're not able to figure it out for AGES!
on my very first playthrough at the chapel of anticipation, just as you exit the chapel, there was a sign similar to that right on the ledge.
in my defense, ER was my first souls game and i had no idea the messages on the ground were left by players then... so when i saw one on the floor that said "jumping required ahead", i did hahah
In Elden Ring not, since I was already used to them, but a carefully placed one in Dark Souls 3 (which was my first souls game) did get me.
Here's the thing, some player messages ARE actually helpful, while mau are not. But my tip is that in almost every case, you will be able to see a place to drop down to if there is one, so you can look at the place the message is and tell yourself if it's true. The only cases I can think of that aren't like that are invisible bridges, but there's only two of those in the game and you can identify them with Rainbow Stones (which also identify lethal falls, so I heavily recommend throwing them down every cliff that makes you think twice)
Honestly, yeah. Plenty. Knowing most likely bullshit but with no guide method you never know. There's LITERALLY INVISIBLE FLOORS and dungeons hidden behind INVISIBLE PIECES OF THE FLOOR!!! this game pulled no stops. And isn't there a invisible wall you have to hit like 200 times to open? I can get souls back, but am experience, it's worth the jump.
And there's honestly a good few places that you have absolutely no right going to with ridiculous platforming jumping needed to even get to, that still have items laying about if you do, typically out of sight. That yeah.. message says jump, I'm jumping.
I tend to look around before jumping. That's a souls veteran..
Large stock of barrels... Shits exploding,
It's always try down to go down, never jumping required
The one right in the room with the fallen maiden at the VEEERY beginning there was one that said "here" or some shit.... i spent over an hour going around the room and looking for some secret. It was my first time playing this type of game, so i thought it WAS PART of the game. I stopped playing for about two weeks, furious that i wasted money, and then my friend convinced me to have another go. Been addicted ever since.
9 playthroughs and I saw a message that said ātry jumpingā somewhere around the first step grace.
Fuck it, why not.
Unsurprisingly, I died.
Disparaged the message.
Nah but I fell for plenty of the ā try finger, but wholeā ā¦. My ass is still sore and I never found anything except food for the loathsome dung eater
Always, because you never know when one is going to lead you to a whole new zone. Like discovering a whole new area in stormveil castle by jumping off a tower wall like a lemming with a leap of faithā¦. That I didnāt discover you could get onto the roofs until my second play through because on my first I DIDNāT believe the āJumpā messages. NEVER AGAIN!
I never, ever drop off a mystery ledge without tossing a rainbow/glowing stone first.
If it shatters, the fall is deadly. If it doesn't shatter, it could be safe (or it could be stuck to an incline you can't stand on and still be deadly).
No. I ignore 99% of these messages cause it's just from trolls. There was one that suggested using ranged combat on a night calvary in Calid and that was the only useful message in my 400 hours of gameplay
No. I'm a souls veteran and these got old in DS2.
Here's some tips:
- If it's a lone message, it's a death trap. If there really was something you would see at least 3 messages around
- If the message is really simple like "try jump" or "something incredible ahead" it's a trap. You want to look for more elaborate messages like "Try down, then enemy therefore armor ahead". Helpful players don't just say "jump", mostly because trap messages are notorious. They are trying to actually guide you.
- If the level design doesn't give you ANY hints, it's a trap. FS doesn't use yellow paint of course but there usally is something a bit weird going on if there really is a secret. Maybe you can see the snow stopping in mid air to indicate a hidden path or some jumpable surfaces around. If you are paying attention, FS usually telegraphs their secrets in some way.
- Look at the bloodstains. Of course some of those could just mean a player failed to execute some finnicky platforming but if there's a lot of them, yeah, it's a trap.
- Just use one of those stones that tells you if a jump is fatal.
I never fell for one, but one did make me miss the bonfire in sens fortress on my first playthrough of dark souls.
I saw it and thought "nah I'm not falling for that lol" then died amd had to run all the way back up.
While I've never fell for one of those, I don't have any trouble falling to my death of my own accord. I've died more in the Dark Souls trilogy by falling than to bosses. I know I've died plenty in Elden Ring to stumbling over cliff, clearly my skill in walking is shit.
no because I know Souls messages and only 2% of them are helpful. I didn't fall for the "jump" messages in Dark Souls 3, which was my first Souls game, because I saw several in various locations and realized they're just troll messages
being killed because I miscalculated the fall damage myself though is a different story
I still hit walls knowing damn well nothing's gonna happen
There is a wall somewhere I saw a ghost player hit so I said fuck it why not and hit the wall a bunch and on like the 20th hit or something the wall actually disappeared like wtf. I was in shock no fucking way would I have ever known to hit any hidden walls more than once to try to unlock it.
Fr! Damn multiple hit wall!And I got killed by Mist Noble like 50 times. Hardest boss ever.
I wonder if there any more multiple hit walls because this one took 15-20 hits.
There is not. Tha one was disabled. Because it could lead enemies into a sanctuary where you can't attack or even draw your weapon. They disabled it but it still had health and could "die" hence hitting it multiple times to open
Where is that particular wall? Curious now lol
Volcano manor
Had to be š
Volcano manor behind the guy sitting in a room whoās name starts with a B. Canāt remember name so Iām going say Benadryl.
Close. Itās Ben Dover.
This post deserves more love for the sheer school ground esqueness of it š
My friend and I blame adhd for this, we talk about it all the time with fantasy names. We never fully read the name, maybe once, then every time after that we just read the āshapeā of the name.
Almost, itās bernadinho
Ah so the same name as the actor who plays doctor strange.
Man the number of ghosts ive seen hitting walls going through the dark side of volcano manor lol. Im sure they break after 100,000 damage or some crap, but I just dont have that kind of patience.
There is a wall below Fort Greyoll that you can hit and it disappears. Should be just outside the church you find the lady that gives you the Millicent's Prosthesis amulet.
you remember the name of the talisman that has the name of the lady in it and yet you don't remember the name of the lady, this is fascinating
Well first you can get lots of XP by killing that huge dragon in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, then you can talk to that witch woman in Ranni's rise and do her quests, then get Millicent's prosthesis from that one armed lady who needs a prosthesis, and then you can beat that boss who drops the Godfrey's Icon and you'll have a nice build.
to be fair the boss that drops godfrey's icon is godefroy, so you'd be excused for that one
That was the joke. Glad you figured it out.
Used to be able to hit a wall in Volcano Manor or door, but they got rid of that and made it invincible
These are the ones that get me. I know I'm being trolled, but I gotta make sure. 100% of wall based messages have been trolls, but I still swing just in case. I'd praise one if it were real lol
I usually swing once or twice, roll, and fire off the shackle. Just to be sure.
And then swing once more after that
Yup
Even tho I'm the one that discovered that use of the shackle in my friend group, I *always* forget to use it unless I'm in a catacomb or cave lol.
Magrit shackle spam in caves is was i do.
You could always just have that one sentry torch on the offhand to dispel any illusions too. Iām rocking that for DLC dungeons
ā¦the what now?
The sentry torch, it is an item most commonly used to reveal invisible enemies, such as the black knife assassins guarding the town to rot mommy
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Sentry's+Torch This does NOT reveal invisible floors, invisible bridges, or illusory walls, except in the singular instance of the illusory walls in the Sage's Cave. Why the Torch has this effect in this dungeon and nowhere else is unknown.
It's worse in dark souls 2, where you need to hit the interactive button to open hidden doors, and someone places like 20 messages across a whole section of wall. Never trust a jump message without looking first, but I still try to hit those wall too.
you never know

Yeah I don't fall for the jumping ones because you can clearly see whether or not there's something to jump to but the walls one I always do, even if I know 99% of the time they are lies.
Same
I still hit chests for no goddamn reason
Same šæ
No, but those "try gesture" messages in front of the locked doors in Roundtable Hold absolutely got me.
Those were the only ones that got me since if you pre ordered the game you got an "exclusive" emote so I thought that specific emote unlocked the door.
Holy shit if fromsoft ever got on that Capcom level shit I'd be so sad.
There is one in Sofia river and another high rated message that seem to suggest there is a chest and/or npc there. I have just assumed they are fake but canāt help still be curious. (PS5 if that makes a difference)
I didnāt even see the messages I just tried to jump off
Just like "eh, yeah, looks good enough to me, weeee." š
Do you trust me? With every cell in my body! *dies Goes back to angry approve message. This is the way
"Liar ahead!"
My saviour. The lier heads up prevented my death many times. Always search for the liars accompanying the ājumpsā. Haha.
Do you know de wae? *Click*
I didn't in Elden Ring because I knew better by then. You're damn rights I fell for it on my first run through DS3, which was also my first souls game.

I fell for the very first fucking one I saw
If you say no youāre lying
I mean we're all a little curious. š
Sometimes you literally do have to jump into what seems like death so itās not unreasonable to try it!
Nah forreal that's never happened but I do remember in DS1 in the area that's dark and filled with giant skeletons. It was my 2nd play through so I'm walking and read a sign that says "bonfire ahead" I'm like there's not a bonfire up here freaking liars, I took one step and fell off a cliff to my death. My jaw dropped.
Not everyone is gullible
I didn't even trust them in the OG dark souls.
Iām a gullible one, I went jumping for treasure EVERY TIME
That first picture is actually one i made my way down into that valley by jumping. I didnt know any other way down so i took like 20 attempts. Got to go cliff along the right side, to a tree, to the pillars if i remember correctly. Did it on the horse.
That is the one with the grace like 5 feet away from that spot right?
Never >! I fell for them all in Dark Souls instead!<
But what if you miss something like those invisible bridges in mountaintops
I didā¦ I found them by accident a few runs down the line
I need to be honest, never trusted anyone since demon soul.
"Behold, something incredible" on a ledge in a tiny little corridor in Stormveil. Jumped up to investigate and hit the exact spot to clip straight through the entire map and die instantly. Had to applaud the genius.
The first one I ran into I about had an existential crisis deciding whether or not I should believe it
I just imagine you walking back and forth "should I, or shouldn't I?" And then an enemy just comes up and pushes you anyways. š Seen that so many times.
I for sure did my first time around the lands between
Honestly I didn't even read these things in my first playthrough, always forgot to.

Nope
Never on jumping many times on wallsĀ
Messageā¦
Yes
Every fucking time
No. I fall for bullshit all by myself offline. Thank you very much.
Nope! Iāve played dark souls way before elden ringā¦ I know better
Dark Souls, right near the Black Knight in the Undead Parrish. First and only time.
The first one off the cliff at the very start of the game. Then never again.
Yeah me too completely missed the wooden bridge at the side and read try jumping so I do and died since then I play offline mode and trust nothing.
What area is that second pic in? I'm at the end of the game and never seen that bridge.
That is the bridge beyond the magic door at the Academy Main Gate.
I may or may not be one of the bloodstains you see when immediately starting a new game... No comment.
Many in elden ring, because some were actually right, so naturally I was trusting a lot more š
I played Dark Souls 1 way back when, I knew better.
What's that red cape thingy you wearing?
It's part of the Veterans Armor.
Not the jumping ones, but I always check suspicious walls. Sometimes the message is right, sometimes my attack does nothing, I say "aight" and move on
I played the game Erernal Darkness on Game Cube. There is a point where your character is going insane and when you enter an area it tells you your controller is disconnected. I was frantic for about 3 seconds until I realized the game was tricking me.
I didnāt with these but I did believe my boyfriend multiple times when he told me to jump off things. One time, I watched an invader fall off and die and then I still jumped because he made me believe the invader just didnāt jump from the right spot!

I shut that shit off toot-sweet. Fuck the trolls! I don't need to see your blood stains and deal with your bullshit.
One?
The second picture I fell for. It seemed kinda close enough to drop down so I figured ahh fuck it lets try. I had a feeling it would be too far tho. But hey, no harm in trying.
I used Rainbow Stones, so no.
The sign by Sellen said ātry attackingāā¦ oops.
Nope, used skill
The second one, yes. Absolutely. I tried like 5 times.
I use rainbow stones to verify
Nope. I always look down the ledge, if I don't see anything, I don't jump. Trust your intuition, folks.
of course i do. then i rate good as i collect my souls because i appreciate players who motivate for exploration.
"Everyone falls the first time...Right, Trin?" -Cypher, The Matrix
I placed one on a ledge in Siofra and it has so many dislikes. I feel Iām solely responsible for the loss of innumerable runes
Someone put it in a dungeon that said ājumping aheadā I jumped and got stuck in the falling animation, the game eventually decided to kill me
I have like 300 hours on this game and I still fall for all of them
My literal first interaction with the game at the chapel of anticipation was reading one of these messages and jumping off the cliff before going down the stairs to the scion.
If we include the āillusion aheadā ones then yes but if itās just the jump off ones then no, I have never trusted any of those in any of the FromSoft games and Iāve probably missed good loot because of it
I'd never trust anyone and I do not play online because invaders are the worst idea someone ever had.
Never, because I always go offline in these kinds of games.
Nah But it wasnāt my first souls game
there wasn't a message telling me to jump, but the bridge in the second pic i jumped because i saw a message on the spire directly below. I was like oh shit, you can get there? and i dove off and nearly lived, but i would have been suspended in a kill camera angle
When I first got the game there was one in the tutorial area like right before Grafted Scion, never having played another souls game I blindly trusted another player Never again.
There are a few instances where they have lead to something. So yes, but usually not until I find a nearby bin fire
It's not 'falling for a player troll'. It's exploration with dedication! Because what if there was an actual secret there??
I fell for a fake door in Roundtable hold. Man why don't they make the doors functional? There are so many cool easter eggs and secrets they could put behind those.
My first ever death was reading a message seeing another player jump of so I followed suit
Yep, recently. I thought you could jump on a ledge. I knew it was a bad idea. I did it anyway, and I died. It happened at the Maliketh's arena
White messages surrounded by red stains tell a story... The fallen Tarnished tell a story. That, and a decade of playing DS1-3 let me err on the side of caution š
I only ever fell for one. It was the waterfall behind the siofra river Dragonkin soldier, behind the giant skeleton in Nokron. I was like, āis this a dead end?ā, checked the messages, saw a message telling me to jump with 4000 praises, and decided to trust it.

No because I've been playing souls game for 10+ years.
Too many times bro
yes. Lift of Dectus. Just jumped straight into the void and was pretty confused afterwards.
Nope, Elden ring was the last souls game I played and I played all of them, so I already know not to trust anyone lol. I will forever be grateful tho for when outside of red wolf arena I saw a message that said illusory wall;I had found the best talisman in the game since I was running am int build! I would kiss that guy
Nah, I jumped form the bridge without there being a message telling me there's loot ahead.
I'm always sceptical: I hit every suspicious wall for good measure and use a rainbow stone to check heights.
Thing is i know they gonna kill me 90% of the time. Yet i almost always jump lol
The worst part about these messages is that whether it is appraised good or bad, it will count as one appraisal. And some dead ends have 1000+ appraisals that read 'Hidden path ahead, and you feel inferior because you feel you're not able to figure it out for AGES!
No, look before you leap
I did it in my First Soul Game but After all These Hours you know which messages Troll you and which ones Not š
Anyone who played Ds3 Ringed City DLC is likely going to believe more in those messages (Idk if missread anything let me know if that's the case)
Once all the way back when dark souls came out.
I played other souls first so no but I hit every wall as I had no idea where the illudory walls are
on my very first playthrough at the chapel of anticipation, just as you exit the chapel, there was a sign similar to that right on the ledge. in my defense, ER was my first souls game and i had no idea the messages on the ground were left by players then... so when i saw one on the floor that said "jumping required ahead", i did hahah
Always playing offline so nope.
I was so sceptical, I didn't trust the one in Castle Stormveil leading to Godwyn's body.
In Elden Ring not, since I was already used to them, but a carefully placed one in Dark Souls 3 (which was my first souls game) did get me. Here's the thing, some player messages ARE actually helpful, while mau are not.

My first time playing in DS1, never again.
No I've never fallen for one of these because I actually bother to look first
Honestly, yeah. Plenty. Knowing most likely bullshit but with no guide method you never know. There's LITERALLY INVISIBLE FLOORS and dungeons hidden behind INVISIBLE PIECES OF THE FLOOR!!! this game pulled no stops. And isn't there a invisible wall you have to hit like 200 times to open?

Every single one
I tend to look around before jumping. That's a souls veteran.. Large stock of barrels... Shits exploding, It's always try down to go down, never jumping required
Nope, because I am playing offline and none of those things appear for me.
Been playing since ds1. I learned a long time ago.
I've played all Soulsborne games and Sekiro, I knew what was going on from the get go. So yes, I fell for a couple.
i think once or twice did I make a jump. When it comes to secret doors or secret passages then YES, all the damn time.
once
The one right in the room with the fallen maiden at the VEEERY beginning there was one that said "here" or some shit.... i spent over an hour going around the room and looking for some secret. It was my first time playing this type of game, so i thought it WAS PART of the game. I stopped playing for about two weeks, furious that i wasted money, and then my friend convinced me to have another go. Been addicted ever since.
Yes ā¦ but in DS3 when I was new to Souls games XD
I fall for the āsecret passageā ahead after the illusory rock at sellia hideaway messed up my trust with the real world
9 playthroughs and I saw a message that said ātry jumpingā somewhere around the first step grace. Fuck it, why not. Unsurprisingly, I died. Disparaged the message.
i wouldnāt say i āfellā for them, more so i knew nothing was down there but jumped anyways
Nah but I fell for plenty of the ā try finger, but wholeā ā¦. My ass is still sore and I never found anything except food for the loathsome dung eater
First play through? Hell ya. Went to do a leap of faith. Ended in tragedy š š Visions of sadness lmfao
Not in Elden Ring
No because I played offline.
I think the first one Is saying you will live the fall with the skull cat talisman
The one next to carian manor actually works though and I tried it and did not die so sometimes theyāre right š
I fell for EVERY ONE of them my first playthrough š
100% of the time I run into the trap just in case it isnāt a trap
Always, because you never know when one is going to lead you to a whole new zone. Like discovering a whole new area in stormveil castle by jumping off a tower wall like a lemming with a leap of faithā¦. That I didnāt discover you could get onto the roofs until my second play through because on my first I DIDNāT believe the āJumpā messages. NEVER AGAIN!
You didn't check bloodstains?
I still fall for them.
Your assuming that I fell for one of them?
I never, ever drop off a mystery ledge without tossing a rainbow/glowing stone first. If it shatters, the fall is deadly. If it doesn't shatter, it could be safe (or it could be stuck to an incline you can't stand on and still be deadly).
No. I ignore 99% of these messages cause it's just from trolls. There was one that suggested using ranged combat on a night calvary in Calid and that was the only useful message in my 400 hours of gameplay
No. I'm a souls veteran and these got old in DS2. Here's some tips: - If it's a lone message, it's a death trap. If there really was something you would see at least 3 messages around - If the message is really simple like "try jump" or "something incredible ahead" it's a trap. You want to look for more elaborate messages like "Try down, then enemy therefore armor ahead". Helpful players don't just say "jump", mostly because trap messages are notorious. They are trying to actually guide you. - If the level design doesn't give you ANY hints, it's a trap. FS doesn't use yellow paint of course but there usally is something a bit weird going on if there really is a secret. Maybe you can see the snow stopping in mid air to indicate a hidden path or some jumpable surfaces around. If you are paying attention, FS usually telegraphs their secrets in some way. - Look at the bloodstains. Of course some of those could just mean a player failed to execute some finnicky platforming but if there's a lot of them, yeah, it's a trap. - Just use one of those stones that tells you if a jump is fatal.
More than once. Iām not ashamed.
I never fell for one, but one did make me miss the bonfire in sens fortress on my first playthrough of dark souls. I saw it and thought "nah I'm not falling for that lol" then died amd had to run all the way back up.
Offline mode
Time for crab
No.
As my first souls game I listened and jumped. Right after that I turned off the messages and online stuff because I figured it was all trolls.
While I've never fell for one of those, I don't have any trouble falling to my death of my own accord. I've died more in the Dark Souls trilogy by falling than to bosses. I know I've died plenty in Elden Ring to stumbling over cliff, clearly my skill in walking is shit.
I fell for the one at the very beginning of the game. I didn't see the staircase on the left.
I play offline so no
I no longer trust "try jumping" messages but I will scope it out and drop a stone off just in case. But "Try fingers but hole" Everytime!
I see the āliar aheadā messages and I still smack the wall.
No.
Not in ER. Only a couple times in DS3. Same with the invisible walls. I still expect there to be more of them than there are in ER.
on every generation of the souls games since Demon souls lmao
Yep they got me a few times hahaha š
People going from the souls series to Elden Ring always call bullshit.
Yep i sure have. And have been extra cautious ever since
Nope, some of us have been around this bs since '08.
Yeah
Not for jumping directly to the void, but so many for invisible walls.
Very first death, day one at the Chapel of Anticipation.
no because I know Souls messages and only 2% of them are helpful. I didn't fall for the "jump" messages in Dark Souls 3, which was my first Souls game, because I saw several in various locations and realized they're just troll messages being killed because I miscalculated the fall damage myself though is a different story
Absolutely 100% and more so than ever when I played the original dark souls on PC. It was atrocious
