How to beat Elden Ring with Walking

[@thejakester1774]

The amount of power you gain by being allowed to walk is monstrous

[@HazhMcMoor]

Just like going to parallel universe in Mario 64. In ABC it's hard af to do but they still do it. When it's allowed... Any elevator is a 4 second portal to the parallel universe.

[@magusperde365]

Yeah,they need to patch walking out of the game

[@AlexRose-qd3or]

I think it's only Ymfah that gets this power

[@YourFourthCousin]

5:52 The desperate attempts to execute the glitch as Maliketh approaches only to pull it off the second he swings his sword may be the most exhilarating moment in any of your videos

[@MinorZero]

"godspeed" is right, holy shit

[@tirohemingway7373]

Finally, after all these years, someone get gud at walking

[@antiusinferno9396]

It was once spoken of in the parchments of the ancient bookworms. A legend that none believed to be true. That one could gain ultimate power so long as they knew how to walk. For millennium this legend has been called myth, sacrilege of the highest order, and bobbins. It is today that we witness the truth of the matter, that one must simply walk to win, but why walk when you can ride?

[@FreshMedlar]

The break stellaris 3.7 at the end is such a mindfuck. It would be super cool to se you on stellaris

[@sunbleachedangel]

So a simple explanation of why zips even happen is, basically, there is some weird interaction between "walking while blocking" animation transitioning into "stationary not blocking" animation, which, if done with very very precise timing, will give you insane acceleration into the direction you are looking. No one really knows why it happens, I think FromSoft included. That's all I personally know. There are some other factors like your carry weight and maybe something else, I don't really know. Also he doesn't die from fall damage because all the game cares about is your starting location and ending location, fall distance is irrelevant

[@KainYusanagi]

Yup, so long as your start point is below your end point, you never take fall damage. And, as long as your start point is only so far above your end point, it also won't result in fall damage, either, until you hit the threshold for damage that quickly leads to death distance.

[@bondrewdthenovel3598]

This truly a metaphysical moment for programmers. "Is in the code but I don't know how it works."

[@almond5284]

Yeah, seems like it's something that completely trivializes their entire game and is very easy to do, even accidentally. The fact that it's never been patched after this long really does imply that even Fromsoft doesn't know what's happening.

[@jstar3382]

They have no idea, given that they haven't fixed it

[@jstar3382]

@@almond5284 It doesn't. It's really hard to pull off, requires extremely high and consistent framerate, and it's not like people are going do it accidentally with success.

[@fadedflop]

Elden ring web browser edition

[@Frommerman]

Potentially doable. 1. Decompile Elden Ring to get its source code. 2. Find an extremely powerful ACE glitch in another game which allows you to write and execute arbitrarily long strings. 3. Use that code to write and execute Elden Ring, from inside an entirely different game. 4. Complete game as normal. This would almost certainly be TAS only and require an obscenely long process to perfectly write all of the code, but there are enough poorly written games out there that this is definitely possible.
