An Elden Ring player had a harrowing experience after losing 10 million runes due to a gravity-related mishap. The player had spent two full days grinding for runes in the game, only to meet an unfortunate end.
The player, known as DementedEnjoyer, shared their story on the Elden Ring subreddit. They initially earned four million runes by grinding with a level eight character, primarily by defeating the Giant Crows at Mohgwyn Palace. After asking the community what to do with the runes, they accepted a challenging task: completing the rest of the game using only a bow and without spending any runes to level up until they beat the final boss.
As the player continued their adventure through Elden Ring, they amassed a total of 10 million runes. To put this in perspective, this amount could have taken their Tarnished character to level 166.
However, in a cruel twist of fate, the player lost all these hard-earned runes not to a deadly enemy or a brutal boss but to gravity. They shared a video clip of their character attempting to navigate down a steep drop to retrieve the runes, which had been dropped for some reason. Unfortunately, the character slipped and fell, resulting in the loss of everything.
This unfortunate incident marked the end of the player’s challenge, and they haven’t provided any updates since. Losing 10 million runes was undoubtedly a painful experience, and it’s understandable that they might be hesitant to give the challenge another shot.
