Summary
AnElden Ring Shadow of the Erdtreeplayer has found a handy skip at the start of the DLC that can quickly take them to Scadu Altus. While that area itself is not terribly far away, the path is filled with dangerous enemies, so this can help players reach the area within a matter of seconds after starting theElden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC.
It’s been close to six months sinceShadow of the ErdtreeDLC launched, and the game is still shattering records.FromSoftware revealedElden Ring’s final sales number, stating that it sold a whopping 28 million units since launch. Recently, FromSoftware also announced a new game set in the same universe,Elden Ring: Nightreign, which instilled a lot of excitement throughout the community.
In a new post on theElden Ringsubreddit, user GPdevotion reveals an interesting path that many might’ve missed. They pointed to a faster way to reach Scadu Altus after entering the Lands Between which involves using the gravestone wall near theChurch of Consolation inElden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC. The crafty Redditor showcases a series of nerve-wracking jumps with Torrent, allowing them to traverse cliff. Ideally, these gravestone cliffs only allow players to go down and not up, but this trick involves jumping on rocks in between to make the skip possible.
Elden Ring Fans Ponder How Speedrun Glitches Are Found
A few Redditors mentioned that some speedrunners used this trick to reachScadu Altus inElden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC, which has sparked a debate in the community. Many are intrigued about how players find routes like this, considering their obscure nature. While some believe that it just merely trial and error, others think it also involves looking at the game’s files to find areas that can be exploited for such skips. In reality, it’s likely to be a combination of both.
This is not the only case where players found something new inElden Ringrecently. For instance, one player discovered a method fordefeating Margit inElden Ringthat was previously believed to be impossible, which involved making him fall off the cliff where his fight takes place. The fact that players continue to discover things in both the base game and expansion so many months after their respective launches is a testament to the community’s dedication.
