For one unfortunate Elden Ring player, their experience combating the intimidating Abductor Virgin goes horribly wrong on their behalf.
One new Elden Ring player's knowledge about one of the game's Abductor Virgins goes horrifically wrong on their behalf. Elden Ring's world is enormous, about 79 square kilometers, and among this huge expanse of land would be the many enemies that inhabit it, nearly every one of them more terrifying compared to the last.
From the gigantic Rune Bears that crush their prey to the Crucible Knights that will not let players heal, you will find challenging enemies to encounter. And for new players that do not know how you can fight them, maybe it's a humbling experience to encounter something like an Abductor Virgin.
The Abductor Virgin is definitely an Elden Ring enemy that's as intimidating because it looks, as being a gigantic moving statue using what looks to become an iron maiden attached.
These enemies are available in a multitude of locations, for example, Raya Lucaria Academy and Caria Manor, and also have a couple of versions that utilize their very own weapons each; one with pendulum blades on chains, and also the other with circular saws. While that in itself is terrifying, their iron maiden chest may also open up and reveal snakes that come out to grab the ball player and pull them directly to do extra damage.
Unfortunately for just one new Elden Ring player, their knowledge about the Abductor Virgins wasn't a good one. Posting towards the Elden Ring subreddit, user kcompto3 uploaded a clip of the encounter by having an Abductor Virgin. The clip shows the ball player healing whilst getting away in the Abductor Virgin's spinning attack. When the Abductor Virgin throws its pendulum blade, the ball player runs under it but is knocked down by the blade being pulled back. As they attempt to get up, the Abductor Virgin opens its chest, grabs the ball player, and delivers the extra damage before ejecting them from the nearest ledge for their death.
In your comments ought, many users gave suggestions about how to fight the Abductor Virgins, although some also gave the sage advice of never fighting near a cliff if at all possible, for you were the reason the ball player died. It's actually shown that 14% of Elden Ring player deaths were brought on by falling as observed in a recent infographic, showing that not enough players heed these tips.
While it is definitely an unfortunate death, it's also one the ball player will likely study from. With every death, hopefully, a lesson is learned, like ensuring to put Elden Ring's runes into Vigor, as well as upgrading a weapon to complete more damage. Elden Ring isn't the type of game to provide leeway to new players, so learning one's way through it's the only way to help keep surviving the brutal Lands Between.
Elden Ring can be obtained now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
