Equally is customary with FromSoftware titles, Elden Ring is known for some of the nearly challenging boss fights in gaming. While past FromSoftware games had iconic, memorable moments where players would be pitted against powerful foes, Elden Band has boss fights around practically every corner, leading to tons of variation in player strategy and feel.

While the bosses that players are required to fight are certainly numerous, the sheer corporeality of mini bosses and dungeon bosses littered throughout the game'due south environment is staggering. Much similar Bloodborne's challenge dungeons, Elden Band'southward dungeon bosses vary, with some being a quick test of a thespian'southward skill to others existence a massive wall to progress due to their difficulty.

1 of the prime examples that will pop into many players' heads at the mention of incredibly hard dungeon bosses is that of Crucible Knight Ordovis and his crucible knight blood brother in arms. The offset crucible knight in Elden Ring poses a tough claiming for players, specially those of low levels, just facing two crucible knights at the same time is a daunting task. Recently, ane player suffered a truly soul-crushing defeat at Ordovis' paw, declining the fight and leaving Ordovis with aught merely an ephemeral sliver of health remaining.

Reddit user IAmZad was the unfortunate player who brutal mere millimeters brusque of the finishing blow. As stated previously, the amount of wellness Ordovis has left is nearly unnoticeable, and without a second wait, it seems the knight should indeed be dead. However, a second await at the health bars shows Ordovis is indeed hanging on by a thread. Similar a cleanrot knight glitching through an Elden Ring wall, Ordovis living through this fight feels similar cheating, and surely left IAmZad with a bad taste in their mouth.

Other Reddit users felt IAmZad'south pain, offering their support as well every bit some jokes. One Reddit user said that IAmZad should sleep the loss off and come back to kill the two knights in the morning, as sleep will help them recuperate. Another Reddit user panicked at finding out two crucible knights were waiting in a future dungeon, fearfully asking other users to tell them information technology was fake. Some other user simply commented, "first fourth dimension?" asking whether this was the first example of IAmZad losing a boss fight one hit before a win.

Regardless of whether this was the first time IAmZad came up short, the paradigm of Ordovis living with just 1 hit indicate is devastating for other players who have shared the same fate as IAmZad. Surely, once IAmZad grinds out a few more levels, they can win the fight similar ane Elden Ring player who epicly dueled another crucible knight.

Elden Band is at present available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/South.
