Elden Ring aims to do one thing, pit players against seemingly impossible and blatantly unfair odds. From beginning to end, this game pushes the limits of players and punishes them for every mistake, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Such a ruthless demeanor towards players garners Elden Ring much popularity and infamy. This attitude also inspired the creation of things like trapped chests, seemingly harmless treasure boxes bearing a nasty surprise for unsuspecting players.
