10 Hidden Video Game Features EVERYONE Missed

10. The Plunge Attack - Elden Ring

Because Elden Ring was directed by the same guy behind the Soul series, Hidetaka Miyazaki, everyone knew it was going to be mind-bogglingly hard. And yet, this masterful action role player was more difficult than we could've possibly imagined.

Since Elden Ring follows similar mechanics to Dark Souls, many players assumed they could use the same tricks to defeat enemies. In the Soul titles, you could insta-kill bosses by leaping above them and plunging your sword into their skull. Sadly, gamers quickly realised this trick doesn't work in Elden Ring, forcing them to beat bosses the old fashioned way.

But contrary to what many believe, the classic Plunge Attack is in the game!

Because it only works on certain enemies and the mechanics on how to perform it are different to Dark Souls, most players never noticed. By jumping on top of specific baddies, such as the Flame Chariot, you can kill them in one go if you press R1 just before hitting their head

The attack may not be universally effective but it's massively helpful if you're struggling with certain bosses.
