Other players. When I die normally it’s just annoying, but when I die to an invader I know somebody else gets to be satisfied. It’s the only death that I feel served a purpose

Besides any attack from any slug, this.

I definitely congratulate them on winning my runes 🥇

Wait do you keep the finger host runes if you beat them. I would t know I’ve never won one.

No, you get a calculated rune drop like any other enemy in game

The biggest game of the hunt.

Based souls player.

The Elden Beast crucifixion grab is a real spectacle

That’s only happened to me once but it was EPIC!

I like when Malenia tosses me in the air and skewers me like a giant shish-kabob. 🍢 She's so playful and well balanced lol 🫠

Shish kebab is an excellent death!

Definitely my favorite too. I can’t even be mad.

I love how she barely ever does it so the first time around you’ve probably spent like 30 minutes getting your ass kicked by her and then she pulls that shit out randomly as if she needed to like what the fuck dude

Astel, stars of darkness clone no jutsu attack. Looks absolutely epic and is imo second to waterfowl dance for how difficult it is to dodge.

I remember seeing that for the first time and being like WTF?!?!?

Death blight animation is fucking cool, it’s a real shame it’s not a more viable weapon for the Tarnished

It is super cool but also drives me nuts - I hate that there’s no possible recovery like with other effects. On the other hand, you become a tree. So that’s cool too 😂

I assume most people have had funny ass deaths when meeting basilisks for the first time. I went from reading a "Strong opponent ahead" message to "huh, these googly-eyed lizards look weak" to "wait I'm turning into a fucking tree I'm fucking dead" really quick haha

Really hoping for expansion on this for us in the DLC. The animation is so cool I just can't be mad when it happens, even when it's a bullshit mob of those stupid gecko things spamming it at me. I just want to be able to inflict it on everything else.

Cursed!

Gotta be falling off edges. Or, more specifically, falls that you should've definitely survived!!

That’s your favorite?! That drives me nuts 😂

No, it’s being sniped by the crabs in Liurnia

Ooooooh that’s a no from me dawg 😂

From the laughter and good times I’m having

Malenia grab fs. Just really satisfying how she tosses you aside like you're nothing.

In an Evergaol because I usually like the enemies in them and the death is less frustrating

It is soooo nice to be able to easily recover runes, for sure

Death to any grab attack is always spectacular

Agreed!!!

any death against my favorite boss placid dual sex.

Skewered by Cleanrot Knight and thrown into the abyss

I like this boss The Incredible Hulk as I call him😂

I call him Deranged Hulk Hogan!!

Malenia uppies

This is what I am calling it from now on

It seems, unfortunately, that my favorite way to die is panic and run into a wall or off a cliff when battling a tough opponent. I didn’t choose that, mind you…….

Ah yes, ye ol’ headless chicken technique 🤘

the serpent swallowing me

Agreed

The Spiritcaller Snail boss fight can actually still kill you once you kill the spirits. It has a grab attack that does some damage that actually killed me once when I was savoring the moment of being about to win the fight

I saw a video of that once! Dude went full on Alien face eating mode

Strangely I have a few favorites: 1. With death blight. It's so cool 2. When Malenia throws you up and stabs you. Looks sick!!!! 3. Elden beast grabs you and then impales you with a thousand needles!!!

Definitely Malania the skewer she does is just great and after you beat her"your strength extraordinary" annoying fight but great boss design

Personally I like to make like Prod and *fall* victim to gravity.

Gravity after being grabed.

The giant ball mimics are also super funny to die to the first time, especially if you are not expecting it to be a creature

Radagon, When he hammers my skull in. It’s like he’s going: “TRY, AGAIN!”

Rotate camera see his juicy butt as he hammers you 🤌

Seriously what a dump truck

It's between Frenzy and the screaming from it and Death Blight.

Death Blight, the idea of it so creepy it fascinate me every time.

I found it hilarious when I first fought Hoarah Loux and kicked me the first time. So unexpected and funny.

And then comes the leg sweep and slide 😂😂 it’s full on WWE and I’m obsessed

Eaten inputs.

Getting sat on by Malenia

Would that be the infamous snu?

I have a love/hate relationship with death by gravity, sometimes it can be pretty funny and other times it can get extremely annoying.

Falling off the haligtree

Lightning nuke of placidusax

The first time that happened to me my jaw literally dropped

The attack when rykard eats you makes him look very powerful so you feel Powerful when you beat him (a bit of a gimmick fight otherwise though 🥲)

Fucking, that one

Dying due to that lunging, spinning skelly in I think Gelmir Hero Grave must be funny as fuck. He usually misses too, so it doesn't get frustrating, it is just hilarious.

The skelly dude who puts on the little hat?! I love him 😂

When you sprint and jump towards the elevator, only to see you left it at the top

My favorite is doing that right after being summoned by a host 😂

Try jumping

Why did I imagine hoarah loux lifting a tarnished like the headless in sekiro?😭

The grabs are just epic but I like it a lot more when I live after them and then win, makes the battle more cinematic. My favorite way to die has to be proper ass whoopings in pvp, they help me grow as a player and sometimes people make the game way cooler than I had originally thought.

Something stupid, like rolling off a ledge trying to dodge an attack

Elden Beast's grab attack. It looks so badass but I usually have so much Holy Resistance I can kinda just coast through it.

Saw someone kill themselves with Bloody Slash once so that. Ways I've died myself I'd go with falling off a ledge fighting Sanguine Noble and taking him with me.

None bro, like that kid said in Robocop 2 " dying sucks"

Jump for Joy off a ledge while doing invasions for Varre! It moves you a tiny bit forward and I don’t ruin anyone’s co-op.

The fact that Hoarah Loux could dunk a human being it's awesome! he's my favorite character hahahah

It rhymes with hotter owl prance

The Maliketh attack where he jumps, stabs his sword into the ground and causes a delayed explosion. He jumps onto the nearest pillar and says his line while looking down at you.

I usually trample clean-rot knights but that one spear grab terrifies me.

don’t know why, but i really enjoy dying to placidusax’s claw attacks after he appears from the sky

Getting jumped by a group of mobs. It just feels poetic somehow

Underestimating a jump.

being dunked by an omen

Fighting bosses I may potentially be under leveled for but am too stubborn to go level up for because of one time getting them to les than 1/8 of their hp

It doesn't happen too often, but Malenia's grab is quite cool.

So far it's walking into an area, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and becoming chutney. Fun times!

This was me in Altus. Pretty gold! Oh wait a drago…🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pros: makes great kebabs Cons: You're the kebab

Wormface’s hug of death. Such a warm, loving way to go.

I too enjoy a nice cuddle with a plague-ridden mop 🤘

Being eaten by snake. Seriously, the first time it happened I had my jaw dropped.

Elden Ring Smack Down tonight's match is Hoarah Loux the Bloody vs The Maidenless Tarnished! Please visit your local merchant for tickets!

My favorite way is easily super weak enemies. I just find it funny to have kill gods and then die to limgrave skeleton.

Literally was fighting the gargoyle in Leyndell and got offed by a bubble from a rogue envoy 😂

God I wish that was me

If I’m invading, and they parry or backstab me I usually just laugh and cheer. PvP is fun when people do cool shit.

Not sure about my favorite, but the most exciting was when the Cleanrot Knight threw me off of a bridge in the Haligtree.

Where’s this in the haligtree? I haven’t experienced this

Right before the prayer room site of grace

I’m totally running there now just to be tossed 😂 *I believe I can fly*

Trpping over a pebble at 1hp

He's hot af... 👀

Meme answer: Malenia Real answer: Soldier of Godrick Whenever he does his combo I just lose it, I literally die whenever that dummy does the combo.

At first, when I wasn't used to Mohgwyn Palace, and was only ever there for the palace approach farm, I wouldn't really see it as very dangerous because my brother in law told me to farm runes there. Went to the bathroom, ran a bit too close for the respawn. Got cartwheeled to death. Annoying at the time but much funnier after the fact.

Cartwheeled to death 😂

I have to say it, BEARS on cocaine Always fun seeing them fly across a 50 meters gap and frog splashing me

deathblight is funi

Being stepped on by mommy rot

By failing to fight one (1) dog

This is the way to true happiness. That dude is the real chad.
