AnElden Ringbug has managed to turn the wishes of several fans into reality by allowing a player to fight Dragonlord Placidusax a second time. While FromSoftware games usually don’t have a lot of bugs, the few that pop up inElden Ringtend to be hilarious or interesting, with this find falling into both categories.
For instance, one of the funniest bugs in the game addedElden Ring’s iconic turtle to a new area altogether. One of the longest-running jokes in the Soulsborne community is to refer to every four-legged creature as a dog. WhenElden Ringcame out, the community found their new meme in the form of a turtle, and ever since then it has become a custom to write dog messages near it. Now, another peculiar bug has surfaced, and it allows the players to experience one of the game’s most requested features.
Finding andbeating Dragonlord Placidusaxis a feat in and of its itself, as it is quite tricky to locate the boss inElden Ring. However, a fan’s celebrations were cut short when they realized they had to fight the beast all over again. As highlighted in a post by Redditor mfdoorway, they were caught completely off-guard when they accidentally fast-traveled to the Dragonlord Placidusax Site of Grace and realized the boss had respawned.
Lucky Elden Ring Fan Accidentally Gets Option To Replay A Boss Fight
Elden Ringfans were quick to note that the bug occurring only for Dragonlord Placidusax was coincidentally symbolic.Dragonlord Placidusax is considered one of the strongest creatures in theElden Ringlore, and its most notable aspect is the ability to warp time, which is uncannily fitting for this scenario. Notably, this wasn’t a one-off encounter, as the player tried teleporting there on multiple occasions, and Dragonlord Placidusax respawned every time. Strangely enough, the player also got the Remembrance of the Dragonlord more than once.
While it might just be a weird glitch, replaying boss fights is in fact one of the most requested features for the game, as proven by many comments. Several noted that a similar mechanic in the game would’ve been a great addition, even if it doesn’t come with extra rewards. While it is somewhat easy to redo fightsin newElden Ringplaythroughsconsidering the open-ended nature of the game, it still isn’t as straightforward as battling the boss directly. One more interesting suggestion was the addition of a boss-rush mode for soulsborne games, another aspect that has been brought up time and again over the years, but has only been turned into reality via mods. WithElden Ring’s Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC right around the corner, it remains to be seen whether something like this actually gets added to the game in an official capacity.
