Elden Ring<\/em>\u2019s Melina<\/strong>, an important character that helps players across their journey, has been killed by a cruel Tarnished. While it\u2019s normally not possible to attack Melina, with a bit of ingenuity, a method for defeating her was discovered.

Elden Ring<\/em> is the latest action RPG from FromSoftware where players take on the role of the Tarnished on a massive journey to become the Elden Lord. Melina is an important character that supports the Tarnished on this journey. She acts as the player\u2019s Finger Maiden, lets players level up and fast travel at Sites of Grace, and guides them along the way. However, besides the start of the adventure, opportunities to meet Melina are limited, with one of these chances being conversations at Sites of Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a certain Sites of Grace, Melina will appear while you\u2019re resting for a short conversation and to deliver the words of Queen Marika. She also gives important hints about the world and is a welcome companion when players finally get a chance to rest. While you can\u2019t normally damage her while resting, thanks to a glitch that was recently discovered, it looks like players now have a method of doing just that.

The glitch was discovered by Japanese YouTuber \u30c8\u30de\u30c8\u3061\u3083\u3093 (Tomato-chan), an Elden Ring<\/em> player who makes content related to the game. The channel has been amassing a following for introducing tricks and verifying rumors. On June 5, Tomato-chan posted the video below titled \u201cIntroducing a Method to Attack Melina.\u201d Despite resting at a Site of Grace, we can see footage of Melina taking damage in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method involves setting a trap of sorts for Melina using the Night Maiden\u2019s Mist spell. The spell puts out a damage dealing mist that remains in the air for a set period of time. Just place the mist around where Melina will appear and have her step into it while resting at the Site of Grace. Setting the trap and calling Melina won\u2019 be enough to deal damage, though, as a little more scheming is involved. What Tomato-chan discovered was that Melina only takes damage while delivering the words of Marika.
