[@lemonsarentreal]

The messages around the Mimic Tear boss fight are absolutely hilarious. Seeing a bunch of "weak foe ahead" and "pathetic sort ahead" before entering the fog and fighting myself was amazing

[@luketfer]

If you know what's coming up, unequip everything, have the boss copy you, then reequip everything whilst it fruitlessly tries to punch you to death.

[@alexcampbell5375]

If you go naked the boss goes naked as well. Bare fist fight doing almost no damage is pretty silly

[@JustAbidTooMuch]

I fought my mimic in my underwear and a twinblade, I genuinely loved that boss fight and the gargoyles just cause of where they take place

[@alexharrison2743]

@@luketfer nooooo, I absolutely loved the honest matching, with my doppelganger using all the same tactics I'd been using on the last dozen bosses. It was such a joy to die to myself 😁

Saw this on the subreddit (stuck on Radahn atm so I can't get there) but one such message reads "Weak foe ahead, therefore time for introspection."

Patches going back to his own world after being summoned to fight Radahn is still one of the funniest things I've seen. He just goes "nope" and leaves. LOL

[@ahrotahn3807]

I have to propose for any possible follow-up: Patches’ “nope” moment in Radahn fight, where you summon him, he appears, and then a few seconds later “Patches has returned to his own world”; the copious “dog” messages for literally any animal…right up until you find that npc accompanied by a wolf and find a profusion of messages asking “…horse?”

[@helloeverybodization]

That is a horse. What are you talking about?

I dunno about feeding Torrent apples, but you can feed him berries. You can craft them out of the various Rowa you find about the lands.

I wish we could pet Torrent.

[@LateSleeper]

Rowa raisins. And I have it on my quick select pouch just for Torrent

[@DannyboyO1]

@@LateSleeper Yeah, they're actually useful for those times an attack hits Torrent but not you. He gets a pick-me-up when you drink a flask, but you don't always want to waste a swig. Unfortunately, switching to them in a battle you can't afford to waste healing on is probably also not a great time for selecting the raisins.

[@crimsontowers]

Yeah, that's a pretty major mechanic that's surprisingly not well known outside of the hardcore haha I mean hell, plenty of new people never even find the wondrous physick and all it's many buffs/spirit summons/ashes of war etc haha Definitely is just the ultimate magnum opus of sekiros fluid combat, Bloodbornes ambiance and worldbuilding with DS1/3 level design and lore (Taking the dual wielding from DS2, the only thing about it that wasn't janky haha)

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

The raisins become more critical as the game goes on with mounted combat. I'm not sure how Torrent's HP is calculated, but I think it might be by the player's total level. Regardless, as you go on, the more HP Torrent has and the less likely in a mounted duel it'll be for the player to be instantly knocked off from a big hit. Which means as a duel goes on the cumulative damage from the boss you're fighting has a much greater chance of killing Torrent if you don't heal him up as well with the raisins, because sure you might heal yourself, but it won't heal Torrent when you do.

[@andymcp4752]

I was repeatedly dying to a boss and so may have been losing my mind a bit, but I did burst out laughing when I touched the summon sign for a character named “John Elden Ring”

[@EnbyDaisy]

Turtle Pope was probably the funniest thing I ever saw, but the one-two gut punch of a sentient ball trying to kill me was great

[@EverTheFractal]

I showed my mum a picture of the turtle pope and she didn't stop laughing for five minutes and then asked for me to send her the picture so she could show her friends

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Mostly explaining to people things around the turtle pope results in some of the better conversations I've had around the game. It's just so ridiculous and yet, it's just so present in the game that everyone uses the turtle pope point as a directional reference for eastern Liurnia. Like I had a friend playing and was trying to explain how to get to Jarburg to him and "turtle pope" was the natural start point for the directions. Because of course it would be.

[@IcyLucario]

The rolling goats mentioned often in these comments are funny, but I think the Ash Of War that allows you to mimic them by bleating and rolling at opponents is even more hilarious.

[@HittingBandy]

There was also that armour that also allows you to damage enemies while rolling, and those two stacks!

[@tach-uq5tw]

Between the rolling goats (specially the lightning variants), the cartwheeling enemies outside Raya Lucaria, and the giant sentient balls I think this is the funniest game from software has ever done

[@tiacool7978]

One of those crazy goats almost knocked me off a ledge. I didn't even know they attacked you. I started panicking when I took damage. :(

[@enlongjones2394]

How about the boulder traps? Previously, Fromsoft has used simple rolling rock traps, and then later the two-way skeleton balls in Dark Souls 3, but Elden Ring really takes the cake. In both Liurnia and Caelid, you can find magic summoning circles that spawn big boulders to crush you, which implies that there are wizards who have nothing better to do with their time than cast Summon Rock all day. But the best is in the Eternal city of Nokstella. Where you find *sentient boulders with health bars* that deliberately aim at you, and will back up, turn around, and roll at you again the second they get the chance. It’s boulder traps taken to the absurdist extreme, and I love it.

[@AdventureSpence]

I do love the boulder enemies in Nokron. It was a blast kiting them into the other enemies, and I didn't have to do a thing

[@gianghuynh9570]

The hilarity when you hide behind a pillar and the boulder can’t get to you. It is a sphere, that tries to do the threatening battle walk of a 1v1 encounter.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

The best part is when you realize that the spheres summoned by mages are _the same_ sentient spheres from Nokstella. Those poor giant silver tears.

[@BeanManolo]

I once entered a building in Nokron near that one in the stairs, and she appeared on the door like she was peeking at me. I laughed a lot

And then being familiar with other souls games, i climbed in expecting to be carted away by some other creature. So when the thing started levitating up a waterfall, I actually burst out laughing.

[@alexharrison2743]

[@psyraven76]

I'm so glad you showed Li'l Leonard the horse, as I completely missed him in my nine attempts battling Radahn (on account of legging it in to blast him with Rot and then legging it away again as fast as Torrent could carry me). My other LOL moment in that fight was when you summon Patches and he stays for all of two seconds then nopes out of there. Also, deliberately putting no hidden walls in the whole of the first area, then riddling the place with them after that once people have stopped looking for them is classic FromSoft trolling. My most recent one was hitting a white scarab ball on a bridge, only to have it transform into a giant boss-sized scarab ball and scare the crap out of me!

I still wonder if there is going to be an "Unburdened Radahn" fight coming out during the ongoing support that was promised (DLC?). That could make for some amazing comedic setpiece, of absolute ownage of the player, whilst an old horse is casually floating around, being fed floating apples, maybe some floating brushes stroking him. Also, reveal that he is named Leonard with some loving dialoge during the fight. Radahn is known as the strongest of the demigods after all, he is only the third of them most people will fight because he is: A) sick with scarlet rot and at the moment actively dying AND not capable of rational thought B) making himself hover just on top of his way too old and gangly horse C) literally stopping the stars with his gravity magic, preventing an enourmous asteroid from hitting the planet So, in essence, he is using the HP, stamina and FP his Great Rune grants him to do nothing but cancel out his extreme handicap.

My favourite death so far was in the juggernaut dungeon right near the start, when I stood right where the thing comes a stop at the top of the slope and laughed at it not being able to reach me -- then it span around and killed me.

I find it hilarious that one of the main ways to rune farm is tricking a bird into falling off a cliff to its death as it flaps wildly. Comedy gold.

Yeah those flying, wolverine, exploding barrel-throwing bastards. It was funny but I didn’t laugh. I died like 30 times to those.

I couldn't stop laughing when Radahn launched himself like a NASA rocket into the air, dissappeared, and came at me as a flaming meteorite. This is the funniest boss attack I have ever seen.

[@loganhagen6294]

Me and my kids had a huge laugh the first time we saw one of the sheep pillbug up and roll away. It was so unexpected!

[@Macapta]

I think my favourite thing is that if you summon Patches to fight Radaan, after a bit he just nopes out of there and unsummons himself.

[@galenwilds3273]

At the top of every insanely long ladder: "Snake?, Snake!"

[@Arcane_Archer]

No mention of the rolling goats?! Also, in Mount Gelmir, I was minding my own business, went to check out a shiny thing near a cliff... and then Patches appears out of nowhere and kicks me off. Into a pit with BASILISKS. So much angry laughing.

[@drcheeze]

Patches's reaction to you stealing and then beating the stuffing out of him is pretty funny.

[@SolaScientia]

I can't bring myself to get mad at the man now. At this point he can't help it. He did kill me the first time, but then I had a better handle on things the 2nd attempt. I wasn't expecting him to be so strong and that spear was annoying. I still did a lot of yelling of "Patches!" during the fight and when my dumb ass got teleported. I couldn't be pissed at him for that either since I did ignore his warning and open the chest anyway. I mean, it teleports the player even if they wait for him to give it to them so it doesn't matter. When I asked him about it I'd thought he was referring to the 1st chest that kicked the fight off, so that was also my own fault for misunderstanding him.

[@blitzgirl6522]

Ok, moment during my playthrough that made me LOL: I was fighting a fire giant/golem in an area of the capital I got transported to...and the idiot did that charge attack where he drags his weapon across the ground for ages...and ran himself straight off the bridge...! Yay, free runes! (Though tbf this was after I had attempted fighting him a few times, so I never knew he could yeet himself into the void like that!).

[@kyleharrell4853]

I tried to make him do this several times but it never worked.

[@azuredragoon2054]

Lots of large enemies have "leashes" for "their turf", which prevents them from running themselves off platforms they're supposed to be on. You got the golem through the large door, and when he charged the railing wasn't enough for him to stop.

[@alexharrison2743]

There's a similarish bit in Nokron where you have the high ground on a couple of lesser mimic tears (you're on a different building and would need to jump down & across to them), and if you aggro them before jumping down, they'll run and try fling themselves across the chasm, like those little suicidal lemurs

[@m.p4603]

It's a golem, Fire Giants are a different thing.

[@grigoregruesome3606]

I had something similar happen to one of the valiant Gargoyles. Flew right over me and off a water fall

I think the other hilarious thing about the hands is how they react when set on fire. They roll around like absolute lunatics and it’s so funny seeing them like that

[@SolaScientia]

@@alexharrison2743 Ah, I can't wait to find them. I've listened to the whole soundtrack, so if they're singing the track I think they are then I'm looking forward to hearing it in the game.

What's even funnier about is Agheel's landing is, judging by the mindless chanting you can hear within the nearby ruins, it seems pretty likely those happy campers were actually performing an occult ritual to summon the dragon. You get what you pray for, I guess.

Yay! Y'all found Kenneth Haight. He doesn't get talked about, I guess because his quest is super short and doesn't appear to have an additions yet, but I actually liked clearing that fort. Didn't die once, surprisingly. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out where he was yelling from. Cleared the enemies below before I realized he was above me. I was going to chime in with the lore about Radahn's horse, who is also apparently named Leonard, which I love. I'm just under 11 hours in, but I think I have 2 funny moments. I was attempting to clear out the enemies around that caravan to get the chest on the back of the giant cart and I wasn't doing too badly for once. Well, Torrent got despawned while I was fighting. The knight on horseback had yeeted himself obligingly off the cliff for me, and so I summoned Torrent again to get closer to the caravan to finish wiping out the few remaining enemies. I ended up sitting on an invisible Torrent completely unable to move or do anything. I just sat there for ages before I spontaneously died. Fun. The second time was that poison flower garden nearby by the aforementioned caravan. I was like, oh, poison pollen, that's fine. I did not expect some white lasers coming out of nowhere at me. The hell sort of giant flower summons space lasers a la Ebrietas?! Another bit was when I finally decided to fight some bears. Took out one easily and was wondering about all the fuss. Saw a bear scratching a tree so I picked a fight with it. Talk about immediate regret. I saw just how massive it was and then just how little damage I dealt it before I decided to nope away from the whole situation. Today I'm off to help Blaidd with his quest, find Boc for the second time, and then maybe fight that giant eff off dragon in the lake. Although I suspect I won't get there today.

[@HanabiraKage]

A skeleton walked up behind me and started attacking me for no reason while I was speaking to Kenneth. I still have no idea where it came from.

[@SolaScientia]

@@HanabiraKage Oh dear. That's unfortunate. Was it in his first location or when he's in the fort? I know there are some small enemies under where he's standing on those ruins. I think they're demi-humans or whatever just without the red eyes. I approached from the north and didn't see any skellies around. It does connect to land on the south, so maybe one followed you if you came from that direction. The fort had just small enemies, human soldiers, and that pumpkin head outside. I'm very curious about a rando skeleton attacking you, so before I continue helping Blaidd I think I'll investigate that area to see if I find any skeletons around. Quite rude of the fellow to attack you while you were mid-conversation, lol.

[@HanabiraKage]

@@SolaScientia Original location. Might have been a demi-human that followed me up now that you mention it, it was dark (didn't have the lantern yet) and quite a while ago now so my memory's pretty fuzzy on the details.

[@SolaScientia]

@@HanabiraKage Ah, that makes sense. I met the guy in daylight. I've actually done very little exploring in the worlds during night. I've either been fighting in a cave/dungeon/etc or I've ended up doing some traveling and then it's light again when I go out into the world. I really need to find a vendor with the lantern. I have the torch, but I haven't had cause to use it since I've stayed above ground and can see my surroundings fine without it. I've only met 2 vendors: Kale and the vendor down on the shore. I know a lot of players are adopting the practice of killing the vendors to put all their items with the sellers/ladies/whatever they are in Roundtable. As annoying as it might be to travel to different vendors, I'm likely to leave them alive since I try to avoid killing NPCs in these games unless I'm given no choice regarding a specific questline. I mean, I did kill the suspicious beggar in the Forbidden Woods in Bloodborne, but that's because I knew he was a beast in disguise and I decided to pick a fight with him instead of sending him to the false Iosefka.
