The FromSoftware-developed action RPG title Elden Ring has taken the internet by storm. Soon after its release, the game neared a million concurrent players on Steam, making it the sixth most played game on the platform.
Having said that, many have complained about various bugs and glitches affecting the game such as the game crashing on PC due to anti-cheat and Blaid and Ranni missing or not showing up.
And as if these problems weren’t troubling enough, Elden Ring players are now complaining (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) about the invisible Carian Retaliation bug in PvP matches.
In case you are unaware, the Carian Retaliation won’t shoot swords but it still registers as hits. Moreover, the damage seems to be extremely high. Many are frustrated since they are getting one shot because of the issue.
While the sorcery is completely fine on its own, players say that it’s the Ash of War version that is bugged.
Some have suggested a workaround in case you are dying to the invisible Carian Retaliation bug in a single shot.
It involves using the heaviest of shields so the damage taken is lowered. Players say that Bloodhound step spamming is also effective against the extremely high damage.
Many Elden Ring players are now demanding that FromSoftware patches the invisible Carian Retaliation bug as soon as possible since the PvP is unplayable at best right now.
We hope the developers notice the problem and fix the Carian Retaliation in the coming days. If and when they do, we will let you know so stay tuned for updates.
