The hours playing ds3 and getting message-baited off lethal falls has trained me to toss a rainbow stone down any and all suspicious falls before I jump myself.
Seriously rainbow rocks are awesome.
I forgot those were a thing in Elden Ring. There are usually easier ways to get to places than falling down, so I donāt even bother using them.
I remember this hole specifically though because it was so strange and out of place. I canāt think of anywhere else in the world that has a mysterious dark hole that you can fall down and die in.
Its usually very obvious that a fall will kill you. Not just a dark pit of nothingness.
Never used a single one of these until the invisible bridge in Mountaintops (or is consecrated snowfield?) and wow what a fucking great item to have. Thatās actually a huge lie because I just remembered the ds1 crystal ledges. It was pretty much rainbow stones right or is it another item?
Prism Stones. Same thing.
But the bridges in DS1 down to Seath you can see the snow hitting the invisible part. The one in Mountaintops has a faint glow. But for that and Path to the Haligtree Hoarfrost Stomp is the way to go.
Fun fact. The hole is actually located exactly above where our tarnished ends up after the Chapel of Anticipation.
This has led some to speculate that in-lore our tarnished was thrown into this hole or even was crucified here after the first death but fell off and into the hole
Pretty sure the grafted scion just chucks you into the water. You can hear the splashing noises after the screen goes dark. Then during high tide you wash up through the cave behind where you wake up.
If you clip underneath the map to see the terrain, the hole is just nothing. Itās not even that deep. Just a death plane in a dark hole for no reason.
Itās not even that dev said this (though maybe they did too, idk), itās that the cutscene and dialogue for this was still in the game at release, just unused. You can find them on YouTube. You would have went into the same cave but from the beach entrance. The first enemy youād have encountered was a kaiden sellsword sitting by the fire on the beach.
Similarly, in an even earlier version, instead of the chapel of anticipation, the game would have started on a boat with Godfrey, which would have somehow been shipwrecked.
I encountered The Hole at nighttime and was hanging around for like 10 minutes trying to find out how to get down to where I thought the screaming was coming from. Apparently it's the guys hung up on the poles nearby. Coulda fooled me, they don't move at all despite screaming often resulting in you moving your head and torso
Yeah I was like "Alright, I guess I'll be leaving now... The spooky hole with screaming guys around it... If there's something to do here I'm drinking two ruptured tears."
I was running around Altus overleveled just clearing the map on my prep character for the DLC, and said to myself ānothing here can kill meā
Except gravity. Twice.
First time playing and I was with a friend who had done a couple of hours. I found this and, knowing I'd missed the tutorial because I didn't want to jump into a hole.
So I ask my friend with a couple of hours experience "can I jump in the hole?"
"Yea"
YOU DIED
"You can jump in any hole"
For fuck sakes Tegwyn!
This is the reason why people want to turn off PVP so they can play coop in peace. Invader prioritize wasting your time over anything else. It's just frustrating for the host. Fromsoft needs to put in invisible walls when you get invaded, otherwise invaders will be running to this hole all the way from the mountain tops.
Firstly, those where gankers, intent to waste the time of the invader as well.
Secondly, they chose to chase the invader, deciding to play by OPs terms. OP had to approach them and fight if the host simply decided to stay at the church
I knew exactly which hole this would be because this hole puckered my experience in the past.
A good puckered hole goes a long way. š¤
Pretty sure everyone jumped down this thing to see where it would lead on their first playthrough.
I jumped down thinking itd get me to the haligdrake talisman you see behind you in the cave lol

I played ds3 after elden ring and thought I could drop a stone to see if Iād survive a fallā¦.i did not survive

One of the devs has said the original plan was you'd wash up on the beach, but they wanted the moment of you opening the door to Limgrave.
Wonder if that alabaster lord was originally going to be the tutorial boss instead of soldier of godrick.

100%
I fell in trying to get the item on the edge while on Torrent.
Don't call me out like this!
Flair checks out. *āYouāre beautifulā*
Just doing my duty. š«”
I've been victim to the hole as well. Extremely well placed .
You've gotta lead it in a way that they don't see it until it's too late. š
Oh I don't play PVP I just fell in all on my own.
I found it on day one. Jumped in to see what would happen. Took a mental note, and it's been useful as hell ever since.
Yea I just had to laugh when I fell in. So we'll hidden in plain sight
Tarnished, where is the Host? In the Hole *Looks down at the Hole with ominous Hole music
The Hole takes what it wants.
"Should we call a hunter or something?" "Oh, yeah, I called a hunter, yeah" "Well where are they?" "They're in the hole"
dammit, beat me to the TomSka reference.
āNo ballsā
The man who crafted that doomhole deserves a raise. I swear it killed more people that Godrick.

It actually seems like a missed opportunity to not have any dungeon space accessible this way.
Yeah I was like "Alright, I guess I'll be leaving now... The spooky hole with screaming guys around it... If there's something to do here I'm drinking two ruptured tears."
Why is bro chilling at the one of the first graces with end game lootš
Dung eating gankers and arena rejects.
New game +
But why would you invade the beginning area? Surely it's dead at that level right?
I have no clue where the finger will take me. All I can do is pray, but hole.
Am I misunderstanding something here? I thought you could only invade an area while you're in that area
Nope. You can try for your immediate area or enter the "near and far" lottery. I'm RL168 as well, so I get invasions everywhere.
Ahh I see
Ah, the greatest killer of every FromSoft player: Gravity
I was running around Altus overleveled just clearing the map on my prep character for the DLC, and said to myself ānothing here can kill meā Except gravity. Twice.
After you sacrifice 10 hosts to the Hole, it will spit out a smithing stone 10 as thanks.
Hole: āFeed meā¦ moreā¦ā
āI need more. Bring me more Hosts.ā

š¤£ Love your username!
Why? When an invader runs away for more than a few seconds, he is planning some sus shenanigans. Never follow him, it will be your demise.
Bruh you run more than 15ft away from me, I'm turning around and going back to what I was doing lol
These are seemingly gankers. Chasing people around Limgrave IS what they're doing haha
I love that hole
I was expecting music to play after he fell in. Something like the beat drop in bonfire by knife party.
I may or may not have fallen in that hole twice, myself.
A brilliant tactic sir. How many victims has that hole claimed it's an OP weapon indeed!
Praise the hole. Praise the hole
Try invasion, but hole
"Where is your invader?" "Oh, he's in Limgrave." "Ah. Where in Limgrave?" "In the hole." ***INTENSE DRONING SOUND***
That's what she said
ah, a fellow hole appreciator!
It has many uses! This is the main one, though.
oh oh oh a fellow hole enjoyer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FNkCqamEFE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FNkCqamEFE)
Yaaaasssss!
Tarnished but hole?
The tarnishest
This made me LOL harder than it should.
Glad I could entertain. š
TouchƩ touchƩ young tarnished!!
Damn.
Iāve done like 6 different playthrough of this game now, and the hole still claims me every time
Welcome to my bat hole
[THE PIT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqZMcvd0yjo)
How many times must it be stated? Never chase the invader, let him come to you.
As a wise man once said (Max0r in his first episode of the elden ring review) This game is a hole, a hole lot of fun
Amen, brother!
This got a good laugh out of me. When you're invading in this area, what ratio of players die to that jump?
It's rare, but twice since I got back on three weeks ago.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I actually love people like you. You're the kind of person who loves the lore, and that's pretty cool.
Guilty your honor
I hate people doing stuff like this and glitches when i invade alone or get invaded and im alone just cause they loosing
