A helpful trick in Elden Ring can make fighting Evergaol bosses easier, especially for players using ranged attacks. Gamers will come across a variety of bosses and mini-bosses as they journey across Elden Ring, with Evergaols providing a good opportunity for players to practice battles on their own.
These Evergaol fights take place in an arena of sorts, and players are not allowed to summon spirit ashes in these battles. Participants can also get some neat rewards for defeating Evergaol bosses, such as Bloodhound's Fang, one of the best Quality weapons in Elden Ring. Evergaol battles can be challenging, but one player has now shared a useful bit of advice for fighting these enemies in Elden Ring.
Upon entering an Evergaol, gamers spawn in the middle of the level, with a circular concrete area surrounded by grass. Players would then need to get near the glowing spot inside the arena to initiate the boss fight, but it looks like there is a better way to start these encounters. A Reddit user named ThatHyperionDude points out that Elden Ring players just need to get off the concrete portion of the level, as the image shows the boss spawning despite the user moving to the opposite side. It’s a neat trick that especially helps gamers using ranged attacks in Elden Ring, as it allows them to get a few hits in before the boss comes closer.
It appears that many Elden Ring fans were not aware of the trick, as several users in the comments section mention that they did not know this was possible. One gamer states that they are still learning about new things in Elden Ring despite playing it for over 1,000 hours, while another player claims to have played it for 600 hours without trying out this method. Fans using a sorcery build in Elden Ring also took this opportunity to thank ThatHyperionDude for sharing this tactic.
Elden Ring came out over a year ago, but players are still learning new tricks for overcoming its many challenges. As another example, one Elden Ring fan revealed a trick for easily killing Death Rite Birds in the game, as they use the Holy Water Pot item to one-shot these enemies. Elden Ring features many annoying foes, and Death Rite Birds can be extremely difficult to deal with, so this strategy will likely come in handy whenever players encounter this enemy type.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
