Elden Ring Player Dies to Boss, Respawns in Unexpected Location

Key Takeaways

  • An Elden Ring bug teleported a player to a different boss arena after dying to Dragonlord Placidusax.
  • The game’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been widely praised, while introducing tougher new bosses.
  • The bug sent the player across the map to Queen Rennala’s boss chamber, sparking humor and speculation among fans.

As a seasoned Elden Ring player with countless hours poured into exploring its intricate world and slaying its fearsome beasts, I can confidently say that this latest glitch is both perplexing and amusing. Being teleported to Queen Rennala’s chamber after a hard-fought battle against Dragonlord Placidusax feels like a cosmic joke – a test of patience and resilience.

In the heat of a fierce battle against Dragonlord Placidusax, I found myself mysteriously whisked away to an entirely new boss arena after meeting my demise. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been this intrigued by a game glitch! The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring dropped earlier in the summer, and it’s left players like me spellbound with its stunning reception from both fans and critics alike. With such an impressive debut this year, it’s only natural that the Elden Ring DLC has already started generating buzz for Game of the Year – even as additional content!

In the game Shadow of the Erdtree, numerous new bosses have been introduced that many players find more challenging than any from the original game. However, some base Elden Ring bosses remain formidable opponents. One such boss is Dragonlord Placidusax, a colossal two-headed dragon found in Crumbling Farum Azula, a late-game dungeon situated over water north of Caelid. To reach Crumbling Farum Azula, you must teleport there following a significant story event at the Mountaintops of the Giants summit. Despite being an optional boss, those brave enough to engage Dragonlord Placidusax will encounter one of Elden Ring’s most challenging battles.

One unlucky Elden Ring player was sent to an entirely different location after falling to the Dragonlord. On Reddit, EdelgardsFootRest posted a short clip of them dying to Dragonlord Placidusax and respawning in Queen Rennala’s boss chamber at the Academy of Raya Lucaria all the way in . Considering where Crumbling Farum Azula is located in the Lands Between, Elden Ring tossed the player pretty much across the entire map. Luckily, Crumbling Farum Azula has several Sites of Grace to teleport back to.

Elden Ring Player Gets Sent To Rennala After Dying To Dragonlord Placidusax

Many commenters under the post joked that the game was sending the player back to respec their build, since players can return to Rennala at any point after beating her to spend Larval Tears in order to change their stats and alter their builds. Out of all the Sites of Grace in the Lands Between, it’s funny, and quite convenient, that Elden Ring sent this player back to Rennala, especially after a defeat to the Dragonlord. Obviously, this is a simple bug and not a purposeful design element that FromSoftware integrated to push players towards respec after dying to bosses. EdelgardsFootRest didn’t tell whether they altered their stats with Rennala’s help after being unexpectedly sent to her, though they likely went right back to the Dragonlord for another bout.

It appears that this type of glitch has been occurring frequently since the latest Elden Ring update, as numerous players in the comments have reported similar issues with respawning at incorrect Site of Grace locations. Whether FromSoftware is aware of the bug isn’t clear, but if they are, a resolution should be addressed in the upcoming patch.
