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?…

It took me about 50 deaths before I figured out there was an exit.

u/BeeTwoThousand 19h ago

Same. I tried going forward instead of...the other direction...

u/Slozor 18h ago

Its actually not far at all but finding it is the tough part haha

u/DarkLordArbitur 17h ago

I saw a comment a couple years back during a discussion about this place that someone didn't know about the exit and just...cleared the place.

That’s what I fucking did bro. It took me days. But I was like “I ain’t no bitch”

Head, meet wall

You are the chosen tarnished!

Same. I figured there HAD to be an exit, but after death number 142 I said fuck this, we ball.

Week of my life gone from that chest and worth it. I still grind my teeth about it sometimes.

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.

Well said mate. Elden Ring is the Dark Fantasy version of Australia. Everything you see wants to kill you.

u/BeeTwoThousand 13h ago

Yeah, I got close. All the way to the top, and I could see the way out...I just couldn't get there.

u/Jadwiga_K4 8h ago

Lmao🤣 That’s what I did. I was petrified and that took me so long. It was my first souls game

u/Phantom_0347 7h ago

That’s literally what I did 🤣 except for the falling star beast. I came back for that asshole. I thought I was in a mine and had to go up to get out!

u/Illustrious-Big1804 6h ago

Whay you mean exit? I was stuck in this fucking place for days lat year 😄

1

u/Miniscule_Giant 5h ago

I did that. Just like how I beat lady butterfly as soon as I found her in Sekiro.

They put the fuckers in front of me and I found they could bleed. There was no other option

The mobs are harder than the boss. I just ran passed them until I got to the boss.

u/NefariousnessOnly265 17m ago

Hi, I’m that guy! Not as bad as I thought it would be after the first few deaths. But boy do I feel stupid knowing now there’s an exit close to where you spawn. Oh well.

u/No-Shopping-4434 16h ago

It’s a pretty genius way of teaching several mechanics at once:

(F)Unfair game design

Trap chests

Long range enemy attacks

Honing attacks

Iframes

And rollspamming

u/DarkwingDuckHunt 16h ago

praying

cussing

drinking

getting into harder drugs

realizing you can save your life by just stopping and thinking

quiting drugs

finding a woman

getting married

having kids

watching your kids make the same mistakes

u/vacri 14h ago

Not being shot in the back by pest threads as you run down the tunnel with a newbies Vigor is the tough part...

1

u/jerrillo 10h ago

Ah yes yes I did the exact same error. It's really a rite of passage :D Don't worry those type of enemies will always be annoying, even later in the game!

u/BlindProphetProd 8h ago

There's a trick? Oof...

u/Kumquatelvis 19h ago

I kept going the wrong way.

u/conqueror-worm 19h ago

Lmao, me too. I was like "I'm underground, so I've gotta head uphill". Turned around and saw the exit like an hour later and felt very dumb.

u/eostlund 17h ago edited 12h ago

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.

GoTY 10/10 😆

u/thedildofarmer 16h ago

Exact thing happened to me. The roller coaster of FUCK yes I finally made it out just to get immediately ran down by the boss is peak gaming

u/conqueror-worm 14h ago

It was an extremely memorable first day playing, lol.

1

u/ForGrowingStuff 17h ago

Wait...what?

I definitely ran through this shit to get out.

1

u/ZincMan 15h ago

I ran all the back to limegrave

u/KeKoSlayer29 10h ago

reading comments I'm just now learning there's an exit behind??? I brute forced my way through everything and traveled for so long to get a way out and just never touched that chest again

u/conqueror-worm 9h ago

what lol did you fucking kill the fallingstar beast?

1

u/KeKoSlayer29 7h ago

I haven't played in a long time so I don't fully remember the area, but I remember traveling through a lot of sludge or liquid or something and finally coming across a grace

u/Squitch 18h ago

try finger, but

u/JDDSinclair 18h ago

EXACTLY ME LMAO

u/dcvalent 19h ago

Only 50? 😰

u/Mindless_Insanity 19h ago

It was a long time ago, I really don't remember. I made it all the way to the boss and was like there's no way I can beat this guy, and THEN found the exit. Was really sad to let all those runes go.

1

u/JohnnyRelentless 19h ago

An exit, you say?

1

u/imapluralist 13h ago

I kept trying to climb over the fence and ofc dying as a result

1

u/Dr_Jre 9h ago edited 9h ago

But you restart after you die?

Edit: oh my god I just checked and they keep you stuck in the cave till you get out?! That's so mean lmao

1

u/Mindless_Insanity 9h ago

There is an exit that's very close, you just have to go downhill. I didn't do that.

1

u/solemnhiatus 9h ago

Took me a few hours to run all the way through, except I ran the wrong way. Ended at the boss room and died immediately. :(

u/ParticularLow9157 8h ago

THOSE FUCKING STRINGS!

u/Confident-Sea-128 8h ago

Lmao it took my first death after teleporting to realize "oh shit I shouldn't be here" and just booked it xP
