This includes plenty of poisonous and putrid swamps which may not be a surprise considering what Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game\u2019s director, previously said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2022\/01\/28\/hidetaka-miyazaki-rediscovered-his-love-of-creating-poison-swamps-in-elden-ring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a> with Game Informer. \u201cWhen making the game I rediscovered my love for making poison swamps. I know how people feel about them, but you know, suddenly I realize I&#8217;m in the middle of making one and I just can&#8217;t help myself. It just happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on top of poisonous swamps, <em>Elden Ring<\/em> players have even discovered a poisonous wall within the game. While it may sound like an easter egg from the poison swamp loving Miyazaki, it seems that isn\u2019t actually the case. To get to the wall, leave the front entrance of the Temple of Eiglay site of grace and it\u2019s located on a foothold below the cliff. No matter how you look at it, everything will seem normal, but when you approach it, poison damage will stack on your character as they turn green. Why does this happen? Zullie the Witch, known for uploading <em>Elden Ring<\/em> and <em>Dark Souls<\/em> analysis videos set out to investigate and has released their findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elden Ring - What&#039;s wrong with this wall?\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/migqhb0xQVU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Zullie hypothesizes that the poisonous wall was a small development slip-up. According to Zullie, <em>Elden Ring <\/em>contains a property called \u201cHit Material.\u201d In addition to this property setting how things like rocks, ground, or water sound when hit or walked across, it can also put status effects on players for environments like poison swamps or lava. Zullie explains that this Hit Material defines the properties of terrain in the game. For example, Hit Material gives poison swamp terrain its poison properties and makes your footsteps sound like walking through water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what would happen if the poison Hit Material was applied to just regular terrain? The ground or wall would still look the same, but it would now act as if it had poison properties. Zullie suspects that this is what\u2019s happening with the mysterious poisonous wall. When I (the original author of this article) went to confirm for myself in-game, not only was I poisoned when I touched the wall, but it made a splashing sound just like a poisonous swamp, bolstering Zullie\u2019s theory.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200813-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Furthermore, the wall is on a foothold below a cliff, so it\u2019s likely not a place you would visit often, making it unlikely to cause trouble for players. But when you throw yourself into it, you do turn a lovely green color which is interesting. It\u2019s also not far from a site of grace, so pay it a visit if you\u2019re curious. Maybe there are even more places scattered across the Lands Between with incorrect Hit Material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Elden Ring, a wall that looks normal at a glance has been confirmed to inflict players with poison status.
