For how expansive and technologically ambitiousElden Ringis, the game isn’t completely exempt from glitches and bugs. As with most open-world games released within the last decade or so, a fair number of glitches have managed to slip through the cracks in terms ofElden Ring. Though, that doesn’t automatically mean that some of these glitches are bad. In fact, a number of them can be quite beneficial, if not hilarious.
For most FromSoftware titles, the bosses are typically some of the most difficult enemies players will encounter.Elden Ring,in particular, is home to some of the most difficult bosses in gaming, such asMalenia. However, there are a fair number of regular enemies inElden Ringthat are quite challenging to fight, no matter what level players achieve. One of the most difficult being the Runebear, which one player recently defeated through unexpected means.

Over on Reddit, a user named GrammarTarnished posted a gameplay clip where a Runebear somehow clipped through the ground, while the player was in the middle of fighting the bear. The user joked that the bear was apparently “needed in Nokron,” which is located directly underneath the main map ofElden Ring, but either way, it’s quite humorous to witness.
While this glitch by itself is fairly surprising, it’s not exactly an uncommon occurrence withinElden Ring. Since the initial launch of the game, many players have noticed similar glitches involving enemies clipping through various parts of the environment. For instance, oneElden Ringplayer saw a Caelid dog glitch through the wallof a building while trying to run away from the enemy.
It’s amazing how players are still managing to find all these different glitches withinElden Ring. For now, it’s safe to assume that a lot of themajor glitches inElden Ringthat cause cheap deathshave been removed, but every so often, players will witness something like the Runebear glitch in unanticipated circumstances.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forElden Ringgoing forward. It has been confirmed thatDLC forElden Ringwill release sometime in 2023, but right now, it’s impossible to know for sure what that DLC could look like. Given the open-world nature ofElden Ring, it’s likely that the DLC content might be slightly divergent from what longtime FromSoftware fans have come to expect in terms of DLC.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
