For most,Elden Ringhas undoubtedly lived up to the hype surrounding it before its release in February this year. The action RPG is possibly the biggest release of the year asElden Ringis the best selling game of 2022so far, according to the data released by NPD Group. Moreover, it is one of the few games to have more than a 90 rating on Metacritic this year, suggesting immense critical acclaim.
FromSoftware is an expert at making challenging games like theDark Soulsseries andSekiro, butElden Ringtakes it a notch further. Players have spent hundreds of hours trying to beat toughElden Ringbosses like Malenia, Alecto, and Crucible Knight. On the other hand, some players like Let Me Solo Her have defeated Malenia numerous times.

Many gamers have triedcheesing Malenia using the Pizza cutter weapon, which has proved quite effective. However, cheese methods don’t always go as planned, as oneElden Ringplayer found out. Reddit user Highsenberg199774829 uploaded a video on the platform showing their attempts to cheese a regular enemy known to give players a tough time. The Redditor came across a spectral variant of the Banished Knight and planned to cheese him by using the “Ancient Lightning Spear” weapon from a distance. The user saw some initial success as they managed to strike the Knight a couple of times.
Unfortunately, Highsenberg199774829’s plans didn’t come to fruition as the Banished Knight spotted the player and began approaching. The Redditor initially presumed themselves to be safe and out of reach but was taken aback and shocked to see the Knight teleporting instantly to their location. The user then flees to save themselves but is quickly followed by the enemy, who kills them with a ferocious attack. The video amused theElden Ringcommunity, and the post was well received as it got more than 1700 upvotes. Many people posted humorous comments, implying that the original poster cheesed themselves.
Highsenberg199774829’s video shows them in Castle Sol which has many other enemies like wolves, the Bladed Talon Eagle, the Lion Guardian, and another spectral foe called Castle Guard. Players generally visit Castle Sol on their way to face Commander Niall, an optional boss who drops runes and other useful items.
It should also be noted that the spectral Banished Knight in Highsenberg199774829’s video is not a boss but a regular enemy that makes life difficult for many gamers. The Knight’s ability to teleport behind the player makes it one of the mostannoyingElden Ringenemiesthat can be harder than a few bosses.
Elden Ringis now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
