A Reddit user named TundraCrisp has shared a clip of them trying to fight multiple enemies in one ofElden Ring’s underground regions. This encounter takes place in Nokron, an optional area players unlockafter beating Radahn in Caelid. TundraCrisp sees several Silver Tears on a set of stairs and uses the Starcaller Cry unique skill in an attempt to defeat them. However, these enemies turn out to be Electric Silver Tears, who explode upon death, instead of the normal variant.
The Starcaller Cry ability pulls all enemies closer before dealing massive area-of-effect damage. As a result, TundraCrisp defeats all Electric Silver Tears but gets trapped in between them before they all explode in a burst of electricity. The player attempts to panic roll to no avail and is thrown towards the screen due to the explosion. Later in the comments, TundraCrisp mentions that they didn’t go too far and didn’t take any additional damage from the explosion.
Starcaller Cry is Starscourge Greatsword’s unique ability and players can obtain this weapon by exchangingRadahn’s Remembrance at the Roundtable Hold. Fans can otherwise go for the Lion Greatbow or choose to duplicate the Remembrance at a Walking Mausoleum to get them both. Of course, consuming it to gain a considerable amount of Runes is also an option.
Many in the comments praise the perfect cut at the end, with one comparing it to blockbuster Christmas movies. One user claims that TundraCrisp was a victim of their own success, while another mentions that it’s a classic FromSoftware strategy to build a player’s ego only to destroy it in seconds. Due to this memorable encounter, TundraCrisp will probably never forget that some Silver Tears explode upon dying whenever they exploreElden Ring’s deep underground areas.
