As with any FromSoftware game, the world ofElden Ringis vast, beautiful, and fraught with danger. From the studio that brought us a game with the tagline “Prepare to Die,” there are several ways by which the player can meet their end, and some are more surprising than others!

These serpentine mollusks in Elden Ring are not entirely defenseless.

The long line of creative takedowns from enemies in the game has spanned across FromSoftware titles, andElden Ringis carrying forward that tradition. Even two years after its release, some players have not experienced everything Elden Ring has to offer.

The Snails in Elden Ring Like to Get Up Close and Personal

No FromSoftware experience is complete without screaming “Since when can it do that?!” at the screen as your character is being drained of its life force. Hidetaka Miyazaki has a way of surprising even FromSoftware veterans with his inclusions.

He’s done the same with the unassuming Snails inElden Ring. These snake-like snails are of various types in the game, each with their own attacks. Crystal Snails can shoot small glintstone-like projectiles, while Skeletal Snails can summon floating skulls that track the player.

The Lesser Spiritcaller Snail adopts a different method of attack. As the name suggests,this enemy can summon shades to fight on its behalf.These summons can be brought back to the field upon defeat. The only way to deal with them permanently is to take out the Snail itself, which is a fairly easy task. It’s due to how easy it is to take down that very few people have experienced its grab attack.

500 hours in Elden Ring and I have NEVER seen this lmao

New foes and new attacks are coming with the DLC.

That’s right, this snail can latch onto you and inflict a fair bit of damage by burrowing its face into yours! Most people would not experience this, as it takes only a couple of hits to dispatch the snail. That’s why one X user commented under a short clip showcasing this attack that they have not seen this move even after spending 500 hours in the game!

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of “big gun go boom”, my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
