An Elden Ring video shows Preceptor Miriam breaking the game to kill one unlucky player. Elden Ring features a massive open world, and gamers will come across a wide variety of enemies as they journey through the land.
There are several annoying enemies in Elden Ring, with Runebears, crows, lobsters, and more probably near the top of many players' lists. While players will likely have a difficult time against the many bosses of Elden Ring, all of these opponents can defeat fans during combat encounters. Preceptor Miriam is also among the most annoying enemies in the game, and a new video shows her somehow breaking the game to kill a player.
A Reddit user named Cromated has shared a clip from Elden Ring featuring this incident, and it looks like they landed a backstab on Preceptor Miriam right as she was teleporting. This results in Cromated getting teleported outside the level as they fall to their death. Cromated confirms that they lost 11,000 runes due to this issue, instead of gaining an upper hand in the battle against Preceptor Miriam. It also looked like Preceptor Miriam didn’t have too much health left, so Cromated could have defeated her if not for this glitch.
While many gamers in the comments section appear sympathetic, a lot of players mentioned that 11,000 runes isn’t a big amount, stating that they will eventually lose hundreds of thousands of runes over the course of Elden Ring. A ton of users then commented on how many runes they have lost in Elden Ring, with some fans claiming to have lost millions while playing the game.
One user mentions that 11,000 runes can still mean a lot to players, as Cromated could have leveled up twice depending upon their current level in Elden Ring. However, another player argues that the Reddit poster can kill ghosts to get 10,000 runes in two minutes, so losing this amount is of little consequence. It does seem like most players would rather talk about the amount of runes Cromated lost instead of the issue that led to their demise.
Players will likely struggle to defeat Preceptor Miriam when they first encounter this enemy, but a fan named JackNewbie555 made clever use of the Mimic's Veil item in Elden Ring to defeat her. In the video, the player turns into a plant as Preceptor Miriam approaches, and she stares at it for some time before turning back. This gives JackNewbie555 the perfect opportunity to land a backstab, allowing the player to defeat her without much trouble.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
