Elden Ring gamers “dread” Abyssal Woods after seeing Torrent message

After discovering that the Spectral Steed Torrent is also frightened, players of Elden Ring find the Abyssal Woods location even more terrifying.

The Abyssal Woods area in Shadow of the Erdtree is a secluded region, best explored by those who are well-prepared.

Despite having fully optimized builds, players will still find it challenging to navigate through the swampy zone due to the presence of powerful enemies that can easily defeat the Tarnished in just one or two hits.

Despite Torrent being unable to enter the hidden area, players have still reported experiencing a strong feeling of “dread”.

A screenshot of the message that appears when attempting to summon a horse in the Abyssal Woods was shared by Reddit user Maleficent_Home2869 on the r/Eldenring subreddit. The message reads, “The spectral steed is frightened and cannot be summoned,”and was found to be quite heart-wrenching by the user.

The players all concur that the horse’s fears are justifiable, considering the ominous reputation of the Abyssal Woods. One individual commented on the post, stating, “Given the monstrous entities that inhabit that place, I can understand why Torrent is afraid.”

Some others shared that they were immediately filled with unease upon reading the message. One comment reads, “Bruh. The absolute DREAD this filled me with. Torrent has bravely traveled through blight-infested lands tainted by the scarlet rot… If something in there frightens Torrent, it will most definitely frighten You.”

A fellow Redditor added, “I was completely shocked when I saw that message appear on my screen and I couldn’t believe it.”

Despite Torrent’s experiences with the player, many are left questioning why this specific area is restricted.

A user remembered reading Elden Ring item descriptions mentioning that “madness flame consumes spirits.”Given that the user was a spirit, it is understandable why “Torrent would simply leave that area.”

In summary, it is important for Elden Ring fans to remain vigilant while navigating the Abyssal Woods.
