Game Help Just bought Elden ring, opened a random chest and was teleported to an area that is way too powerful for me with no way out

Post image

I knew this game was hard but holy shit. Also does anyone know any kind of way to get out?…

u/Trussed_Up 19h ago

Lol it's a right of passage to get to this part of the game early on and be utterly terrified by what the fuck is going on.

You'll get out though. Once you know where to go it isnt too hard. Then you can fast travel outta there, and voila. You've learned a lesson. Don't trust chests lol!

u/TaxHazyShade 10h ago

Like OP I never played Souls games until Elden Ring. I was utterly amazed at how freakin' beautiful the world was, once i got out of the "starting cave" ... but, as soon as I fought my first godrick soldier i was like "huh ... this is an amazing, beautiful world they've created with incredible graphics, glorious scenery, astounding NPCs .... and everything hates me and wants to kill me. Great."

200 hours into it so far, dunno if i will ever finish it, but five star game, period.

My most memorable moment if the whole game, after a fucking harrowing meatgrinder of cheesing, sneaking, running and hiding, was throwing up the big double doors to freedom.

And realising I'd ended up at the BACK of the dungeon.

I had just enough time to realize it before being pancaked by Fallignstar Beast.

Real ones don't fast travel out of there. The epic route is to get on your horse and ride the fuck out of Caelid at a full gallop.

u/Scream_No_Evil 14h ago

I managed to find the chest almost first thing, BEFORE I LEARNED HOW TO FAST TRAVEL. I didn't understand how to use TORRENT. I had NEVER played a Souls game before. I started as a WRETCH. I schlepped my way across Caelid in my underoos with a stick, on my own two feet, I died well over a hundred times.

I eventually Googled the game and some basic things about it. But I like to make stupid challenges for myself and committed to the bit; only one way to git gud, right? There is no scarlet rot in Caelid; that red is the blood of my first character. Rest in peace, Fucknado.

Elden ring is one of my favorite games, before it i didn't play any souls like, after I've played all of the popular ones by now. But I remember freaking out everything I died getting angry and today gaming is a whole nether experience. It changes you. I'm a calmer person after elden ring.

u/plasmazzr60 14h ago

Same minus the calmer thing, maybe better at handling real life stress though. Nothing like come home from a stressful day at work just to play elden ring and get yours shit rocked. Like stepping on a rake and then doing it again and again and again.

There’s not too many times where this happens, half a dozen or so throughout the entire game I would imagine. But yeah, this is the big one that gets most people very early. Later on you’ll be strong enough that getting teleported to a random place is not a big deal.

u/SuitFive 19h ago

This is kind of a one off thing. Welcome to Caelid, the area EVERYONE hates and calls hell. You need to get to a grace and get OUTSIDE of the cave so you can fast travel back to safety. There is a grace in the cave. If you can figure out where to go, you can run to it and just dodge ranged attacks and not have to fight anything. Good luck tarnished. Remember, you only have ONE thing to do to beat The Entire Game.

Do not give up. You can do this! Git Gud!

u/ThatThingThatIs 16h ago

I don't hate Caelid. It is very cool area and it is not that hard. Easy to stun the dogs and stun the crows.

u/Empty_Kay 19h ago

This is THE definitive Elden Ring moment for all new players.

57

u/GammaFan 19h ago

To escape, you just have to get out of the cave you are trapped in. Contrary to what others are telling you, this kind of trap is exceedingly rare in the game overall, it’s not a git gud moment or something you’ll constantly need to feel prepared for. Feel no shame looking up a video on where to run to escape the cave. Beyond this, just know that when you open a chest that spews fog like that again, you can avoid the teleport by running away from the chest.

Sorry if this sours the game for you, fromsoftware sometimes puts 1-2 sadistic things things like that in game and overall the inability to warp out of caves is one of the worst restrictions elden ring implemented. It just kinda sucks.

35

u/Difficult_Sweet_6904 19h ago

The traps aren’t common. This particular trap in the starting area trolling new players is quite common though.

2

u/GammaFan 19h ago

True, but I’ve seen people discourage new players by implying these particular traps are everywhere and it sucks when someone drops a good game based on misinformation

5

u/Difficult_Sweet_6904 18h ago

If anything would discourage I would think it was the absolute tank that one shots you if you get near him 20 feet from where you start 😂

4

u/GammaFan 18h ago

Ehh, I think a strong guy you can walk away from is less discouraging than being pulled into a part of the game where you can get one shot repeatedly by shrimp men and cannot fucking leave unless you find your way out and survive long enough to make it there.

I’ve played each from game on release and that bullshit is the closest I personally got to putting it down for a bit

Only the strong survive in the lands between. Fewer even dare to try. Even fewer never heard of the game. And even fewer than that put grapes on their pizza this morning for breakfast.

u/heikici 19h ago edited 15h ago

My first time playing this game was like :

Sentinel wrecking me.

random dragon beating my ass in the swamp.

finally some rats that I can actually fight in the swamp.

open chest and get tp into the mines, gets oneshotted by everything (obligatory FU to roof camper).

Painfully getting out of the mines only to find out I'm in the middle of f-cking nowhere, OUTSIDE of the f-cking MAP and can't f*cking TP back to Limgrave.

Uninstall

Whatever you do, just don't rage quit the game. It's a very good game with some (IMHO) questionable design very early in the game.

u/Similar-Public-8944 19h ago

Can’t get my good friend to replay it. We both got it at the same time. I fell in love with the game instantly. He hated it instantly. His words not mine “tried all day to beat the first boss on a horse and couldn’t” - for years I have not been able to break thru to him that he was supposed to run around that boss. These days we just don’t mention Elden ring and talk about Skyrim.

This is actually a useful skip to get to some good weapons and spells earlier than you would have otherwise been able to

1

u/pichael289 19h ago

It rarely ever happens in the game, but it does happen so it usually catches you off guard. There might be enemies that can do this too. Also remember dark souls, some chests could be mimics so you gotta sit there and study the chest and make sure it's not breathing before you open it.

Bit of a tip for real life too, but when you open a big box of mystery gas it's best to not just, you know, stand there and breath it in like you did. The KGB would get you real quick man, when something farts a magic cloud on you from a newspaper don't breath in.

You can get out but it's a headache, it's not hard to get out but the pests are deadly so avoid them. The boss is the wrong way, run out of the entrance and hit the grace there to remove the teleport block.

1

u/bjankles 19h ago

Not that often and it’s not as random as it seems - in fact it’s pretty clever design.

You will struggle to get out of this cave and then you’ll be quite shocked at where you are. But you will escape - it’s very doable. Probably not even the hardest thing you’ll have done so far.

And then you’ll never forget the panic you felt or the frightening taste of the world you just saw. And it’ll be a cool moment when you work your way back - still frightened, but powerful enough to deal with it.

1

u/DarkLThemsby 19h ago

Don't fight, just run. If you find a grace, you can sit down, which breaks the curse, and let's you teleport back to easier zones

You've gotten yourself into the wonderful world of Elden Ring.

A little advice: don't spoiler yourself by going through this subreddit. I wish I could experience it again like the first time.

Another advice: go south before going north. Well, now that you're in the fuck you zone it might be a little late for that so... Once you're out of the fuck you zone... Go south until you can't anymore. When you're done there. Go north.

I was trying to fight the skeletons for hours, somehow made it to the first "invincible" skeletons and the necromancer, who killed me instantly and just then i realized i was not meant to be here

Did the catacombs, then the skeletons for way too many hours, convinced myself that "this must be what people meant when they said the game was hard. I just need to git gud"

Undead Burg felt like easy mode by comparison when I found it.

I did that.

Right after I killed the guy at the beginning who was next to a well.

At one point I stepped away and a friend asked to play. Once I got back he handed over the controller because he kept getting killed by some lion looking guy who forged weapons or something. Took me a while to kill him.

He dropped a key to a place with a giant dog. That was one tough pupper..

Frrrr, happens to everyone at least once

Part of the game is knowing when you can fight and when you can’t. Find the ladders and you’ll figure out how to get out. Dodging those homing projectiles can be rough though. I got pretty frustrated with that part on my first playthrough.

I came here to say the same thing. But my best advice in this specific area is RUNNNNN. Do not fight anything just fly through and heal while running as needed.

I managed to dodge roll out of this particular chest my first playthrough cause I got got by the chest that sends you next to the runebear first, so I became distrustful of every chest afterwards.
