The Elden Ring Tragedy: A Turtle’s Tale of Betrayal and the Price of Curiosity
Prepare to be heartbroken. A gamer, driven by a morbid curiosity that we can only call… evil, committed an unforgivable act in the hallowed lands of Elden Ring. They struck down Pope Turtle, the gentle giant who sits peacefully by the lakes, a true icon of the Lands Between.
This ain’t your typical "I killed an NPC" story. This is a tale of betrayal and a horrifying act of aggression against a creature that deserves nothing but love and respect.
As the Redditor, who shall remain nameless for fear of retribution, confessed, they were playing through a New Game Plus. Mercy for the sacred turtle, clearly, was not on their wicked mind.
"He’s really hard to kill," they wrote, "but he’s got a boss-like HP bar." Imagine that. The sheer audacity of attacking a peaceful giant, who begs for mercy with each blow.
"His cries of pain haunt my very morality," the heartless gamer confessed. But let’s get one thing straight: no amount of "turtle meat and bell bearing" is worth the torment they’ve inflicted on the Lands Between. This is a crime that will forever stain the soul of the player who committed it.
But there’s hope, fellow Tarnished. The Elden Ring community responded with the fury of a righteous storm. "I’ll pray for you, but I doubt you’ll escape Hell for this," one user proclaimed. Another, summing up the shared rage, simply said, "The LOATHSOME DUNGEATER."
Yes, justice may never be served, but we can find solace in the upcoming Elden Ring 2 teaser, which has sent fans wild with excitement. A small victory in the face of such heartbreaking betrayal.
Remember, Tarnished, let this tragic tale serve as a warning. Never, ever, harass a Pope Turtle. Let the peace reign supreme.
