Elden Ring Players 'Dread' Abyssal Woods After Seeing Post Torrent

Elden Ring players find the Abyssal Woods location even scarier after learning that Spectral Steed Torrent is also spooked.

An off-the-beaten-path region, the Abyssal Woods area of Shadow of the Erdtree is not for the unprepared.

Even players with fully optimized builds will have difficulty traversing the swampy area, especially since many of its hidden enemies can kill the Tarnished in one or two hits.

The strange atmosphere and terrifying creatures make the Abyssal Woods even more frightening. But players say they felt a real sense of “dread” realizing that even Torrent wouldn’t enter the hidden area.

Reddit user Maleficent_Home2869 shared a screenshot of the message Elden Ring players receive when trying to summon their horse in the Abyssal Woods. It reads: “The spectral steed is frightened and cannot be summoned. »

Players agree that the horse’s fears are justified given the nature of the Abyssal Woods. “Well, considering the horrors uncovered there, I can’t blame Torrent,” one person wrote in response to the post.

Someone else commented that they “can’t think of a more terrifying message” to receive.

Others spoke of the discomfort they immediately felt after reading the message. Reads one such comment, “Bruh. The absolute fear it filled me with. Torrent has happily roamed lands infested with blights and affected by the scarlet rot… So if something in there scares Torrent, it should 100% scare you.

Another Redditor chimed in to say: “I shit my pants when I saw this message flashing across my screen.”

Considering everything Torrent has encountered with the player, some can’t help but wonder why this particular area would be off-limits.

One user recalled item descriptions from Elden Ring stating that “the flame of madness consumes spirits.” As a spirit, it makes sense that “Torrent doesn’t care about this area.”

Suffice it to say, Elden Ring fans should be on guard when wandering through the Abyssal Woods.
