With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, a new meme is on the rise: one of \u201csnake\u201d strings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As players make their way west from Shadow Keep, they will pass through a giant elevated rampart that houses various enemies. Before taking the lift that leads to the Rauh Ruins region, players will come across multiple highly-rated messages that warn of \u201csnakes\u201d in the vicinity. But instead of limbless reptiles preparing for an ambush, all that lies in wait are several pieces of very inanimate string.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-1920x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring in-game message saying &quot;be wary of snake&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-32947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-1920x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring in-game message saying &quot;snake required ahead, therefore seek behind&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-32948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the crafting material of the same name, the strings in this area cannot be picked up or interacted with; they exist solely for decorative purposes. They may have some lore tied to them, however, as the rampart houses barrels and supplies that could have been delivered to and from Shadow Keep. The frequency of these messages is quite surprising as this is by far the only area in Elden Ring that plays host to the meme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1178\" height=\"710\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1178px) 100vw, 1178px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-002.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring in-game message saying &quot;could this be a dog&quot; next to a turtle\" class=\"wp-image-32949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-002.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-002-380x229.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-002-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625-32945-002-600x362.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Elden Ring players have used messages to lead others astray. Some of the most infamous Elden Ring messages revolve around calling in-game turtles \u201cdogs,\u201d and can be found wherever the passive animals are located. Due to the massage system\u2019s limited vocabulary, communication tends to be a bit more creative. Different message templates are available, as are conjunctions and gestures. These \u201csnake\u201d strings are just one of the newest fads that have taken the Land of Shadow by storm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inanimate pieces of string in Elden Ring&#8217;s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC give birth to &#8220;snake ahead&#8221;
