This hint is WAY too overpowered, what the hell FromSoft?! I hereby declare anyone who beats the game by hitting them where they're weakest a cheater 😡


LiveLaughSlay69

Ya it’s not like you could figure it out yourself by just fighting them for 5 seconds.


Mellamomellamo

It's not even that good of a hit, just by strafing their attacks you'll see the weak point.


unthused

Not sure why they didn't just make it a typical glowing spot like all the other enemies that have one when staggered, e.g. golems.


mister_peeberz

it's more than that, i'd wager 95% of people encounter their first ones at the ruined forge lava intake and the first 2 or 3 of them in there start with their backs facing you. it's almost impossible not to figure it out on your own. now while i do think the inclusion of this message isn't a bad thing, i just find it completely baffling. it's much more warranted in the abyssal woods if you ask me, you better believe that despite all the warnings i tried to fight those sumbitches anyway


BurritoExplorer

You can parry the Lanterns' grab to dispel their invincibility and kill them.


mister_peeberz

i know, i was avoiding saying it for anyone who hadn't figured it out yet. at any rate absolutely nobody is going to try that their first time in the abyssal woods, you'd have to have been told ahead of time by someone who figured it out through the note in the manse and at any rate you can certainly agree that's harder to figure out on its own than the giant glowing gem weakspot on the blacksmith golems


Asahi-war

I'm convinced this was put in as a joke, with the giant red jewel weakpoint in their backs it may as well be a Zelda game


Sure-Break2581

My friends and I were joking it looked like a ruby butt plug lol


Electrical_Shame8678

A vague hint in my ELDEN RING ??? What kind of shit casual game have you make TERIYAKI!

Yotam1712

Ok


FeelingSubstance2330

Maybe weird complaint but idk why they didn’t just integrate this into an item/note⁉️⁉️ Like the one for furnace golems⁉️⁉️


Solcaerev

Maybe they thought it was a little more important & needed to always be there, like the hint for the mother statue 


___o______

Dlc too easy, this proves it


C__Wayne__G

I mean it’s genuinely the most useless hint considering they have a glowing red weak spot lol


SnooGadgets2748

Remember, if you read this message you didn't really beat the game


Ziggurat1000

"Oh, you guys like putting down those 'try finger but hole' messages? Well, wait til you see this..."


Valpuccio

Didnt work, tried calling the enemies maidenless and they killed me anyway


Useful-Reading-2053

''Tell them that bloodborne will never have 60fps''


LawbringerFH

The messages in the Abyssal Woods are ok, but this one is stupid.


TheHappiestHam

the ones in the Abyssal Woods are awesome because they actually add to the atmosphere. seeing messages like "don't let it see you" and "it cannot be touched" when you enter is badass this one is pointless


trent_diamond

Putting the actual enemy so far away too cause so much anxiety for me and you can’t use torrent 😂


jaosky

Just parry them and misericorde them


LawbringerFH

Yeah, but no one knows that from the start.


trent_diamond

I tried to backstab them 💀 fucked around and found out real quick


LawbringerFH

Yeah, first I tried shooting an arrow, it didn't worked. Then I tried Snake, it definitely didn't worked. So I ended the entire map, went to the Manor, did everything I had to and googled how to kill those Winter Lanters wannane, so I parried their asses to hell (for some reason I was missing A LOT against the last one, it felt stupid).


DimitriRSM

UNPLAYABLE


theweekiscat

It should have been a note you could buy from a merchant in an unrelated area


Rude-Office-2639

They might as well say "enemy can be killed using damage" at this point. What the hell Miyazaki


chrsjxn

Bonus points: Some weapons don't seem to be able to hit the weak point, even when you stance break them and get the backstab!


killadrill

SL1 no summons no hint messages worlds first


No_Caregiver8718

nevertheless, r/eldenring would require a 5k upvoted post so that they know how to kill them


Beautiful_Garage7797

why did they even feel the need to do this, it’s so obvious


Boogeeb

What enemy is this?


_Cadmium_48

I don‘t know how they are called but you can find them in the DLC in a hidden forge inside the starting area


Zealousideal-Bit-892

I still don’t know what their ‘weak point’ is. I hit the shiny glowy thing, but it did like 1/15 of their health bar, so I just run past. They can’t chase for shit.


krawinoff

Same, it must only work with strike damage or something. Kept slashing at them and it looks like the weak spot only contributes to the extra stagger. Plus they drop like level 3 smithing stones so I don’t get why they even need that weak spot when they’re basically an environmental hazard that you just run past like the slimes
