Elden Ringis filled with challenges to overcome, and some of these obstacles will appear multiple times throughout a playthrough. The Fallingstar Beast is one of these recurring threats, and a group ofElden Ringplayers were taken out by the one in Mt. Gelmir.
Whether it is the Fallingstar Beast in the Caelid mines or the one in Mt. Gelmir’s crater, there are many reasons why this boss has giventheElden Ringcommunityso much trouble. For starters, it is incredibly durable, shrugging off attacks from sharp weapons with ease - something that is problematic since many players run sword builds. On top of this, the Fallingstar Beast’s attacks are nearly nonstop, many of which come with some unpredictable movement attached.

While someElden Ringplayers have mastered the Fallingstar Beast, others struggle with the fight and need to call in some help. This was the case for Reddit user VinVanTheTinCan, who ascended to the top of Mt. Gelmir with two companions. Hoping that co-op would make the fight a breeze, the three players waited on the edge of the Fallingstar Beast’s arena, applying some buffs to themselves before engaging. However, this proved to be a fatal mistake made by the group.
While the players clearly thought they were safe from theElden Ringboss, this could not be further from the truth. Ascending a ladder and being on the outer edge of the arena was enough to activate the boss’s health bar and trigger aggro. As a result, the Fallingstar Beast charged at the group of players before they could even prepare themselves. While the player with the blue cloak attempted to roll out of the way, they did not do so in time, as the entire party was tossed off the cliff to the ground below.
Unsurprisingly, this post did well with theElden Ringcommunity on Reddit, likely because of how relatable it is. While three players being killed at the same time by one boss attack is quite rare, the act of the Fallingstar Beast killing players by throwing them off Mt. Gelmir is nothing new. With thisElden Ringarenabeing a giant crater atop a mountain, players constantly need to be aware of their surroundings, as poor situational awareness can lead to death. With many knocked off this mountain at least once, it is no surprise the clip has gotten over 6,900 upvotes thus far.
While there are plenty ofother entertainingElden Ringco-op clips, this one will likely remain the most memorable when it comes to the Fallingstar Beast fight. Not only does it make the boss more intimidating, but it shows how arenas can be just as important to pay attention to as a boss’s attacks.
Elden Ringis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
