Elden Ring adventurer clears 360 hours before discovering Torrent FromSoftware\/Bandai NamcoOne poor Elden Ring player has been trudging around on foot for over 360 hours without realizing the game has a mount. There are not many games that nail scale as well as FromSoftware\u2019s Elden Ring. From your opening hours, the game already feels massive \u2014 and then you wind up teleported into a late-game area and realize just how much ground you\u2019ll have to cover on your journey. With the impending arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and its suite of new weapons, bosses, and locations, the Lands Between are set to get even bigger. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki has already confirmed that the DLC will feature a new area larger than Limgrave. Most players will get a lot of mileage out of Elden Ring\u2019s spectral steed Torrent in order to mitigate the game\u2019s sheer size. Unfortunately for one player, they spent nearly 400 hours in Elden Ring before realizing there\u2019s a quicker way to get around. Brought to the game\u2019s community by Reddit user TheBagelBearer, screenshots were shared of a conversation on Discord which started with a player asking, \u201cThe f**k is a Torrent?\u201d Concerned players then explained that every player has access to the lovable horse-goat and his handy double jump ability. The shocked player revealed that in their 360-hour save file, they had \u201cnever touched\u201d the Spectral Steed Ring that summons Torrent. It has been proven that you can beat Elden Ring without Torrent in certain challenge runs but we can\u2019t imagine not having him as a travelling companion. There is a tonne of content such as certain weapons and talismans that can\u2019t be accessed without him. Not to mention how easy the mount makes certain bosses in the game, such as Starscourge Radahn or any of the large dragons you find. Managing to spend this long in the game without him is an achievement in itself. Of course, there are those who doubt the claim given how prevalent Torrent is and how often he has appeared in official media and player-made content. \u201cThis dude is lying,\u201d one user put forward. \u201cThe game literally puts the ring in your pouch for you. There\u2019s no way he goes 360 hrs without ever opening it.\u201d This prompted other players to offer their own Elden RIng foibles, including not realizing you could wield weapons two-handed or attack from the left side of Torrent. Given that, it\u2019s not entirely farfetched to think a player could miss the information regarding how to summon Torrent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
