Summary
AnElden Ringplayer recently stumbled across a humorous glitch that gives the ferocious Red Wolf of Radagon a powerful case of “the zoomies” during its boss battle. From Software’s latest dark-fantasy action RPG was one of thebiggest games of 2022, and fans are still coming across fun details and NPC quirks a full year afterElden Ringlaunched to near-universal acclaim last February. The open-world framework of the Lands Between offers up plenty of opportunities for players to perform interesting tricks to ensure victory - or at least meet a particularly memorable end at the hands of a powerful boss like Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
Players can also come across hilarious bugs and glitches while exploring the open world ofElden Ring, which can make already notable fights against the likes of Malenia even more punishing bypreventing her from dyingor even allowing her phantom summons to battle on after her defeat. Other, less frustratingElden Ringglitches have caused the corpses of fallen enemies to start spinning around like Beyblade tops, compelled Mohg to pause combat to appreciate his own boss theme, and even transformed the grim and gritty world of the Lands Between into a glowing, rainbow-colored rave party.
It seems that even the fearsome Red Wolf of Radagon is feeling the groove, as a Reddit user by the handle of comradeted recently chanced across a strange bug while battling it in its chamber inthe Grand Library of Raya Lucaria Academy. As shown in a brief video clip on r/Eldenring, the Red Wolf suddenly starts zipping across its lair with superhuman speed, practically teleporting around comradeted as they try to land hits on it. Both comradeted and several commentators have joked that the Red Wolf had caught a case of the “zoomies,” a phenomenon where a real-life dog or cat starts running around their owner’s house in excitement.
The Red Wolf of Radagon is usually a much more serious foe inElden Ring, and versions of it can be fought several times during the player’s quest to become the Elden Lord. The first and most well-known of its encounters takes place within the mystical Academy of Raya Lucaria, but players can discover more about the beast and its connection to the dungeon as the game goes on. Eagle-eyed players have spotted interesting details about the Red Wolf, and some have even managed to take the great canine down with a single shot.
Of course, lining up that killing strike was all the more difficult for comradeted during their ownencounter with the Red Wolf of Radagon, who suddenly caught an inexplicable case of the “zoomies” in the heat of battle. This and many other strange and humorous technical hiccups have arguably helpedElden Ringretain its massive staying power even a year after launch, as well as sparked some relatable discussions about how its many bosses sometimes act like common house pets.
