Elden Ring Altar South Three Wise Beasts

A Hilarious Hunt: Deciphering the Elden Ring's South Altar Puzzle

So, you've stumbled upon the South Altar in Elden Ring, huh? Don't worry, you're not alone in feeling a little… bewildered. It's one of those charmingly cryptic puzzles that FromSoftware loves to throw at us.

What’s the fuss about? Well, there are these, let's say "wise" beasts scattered around. You're supposed to find them all, whack 'em good, and the altar opens.

The Wise Beasts: Not So Wise, Really

The creatures themselves are, well, not exactly Einstein reincarnated. One looks like a ghostly tortoise. Another appears as a spectral hare and finally one is a playful imp.

They’re basically translucent critters who are masters of hide-and-seek. They're not trying to be particularly tricky, just… existing in a vaguely inconvenient location.

My First Encounter: A Comedy of Errors

My own experience was less "epic quest" and more "Keystone Cops." I spent a good half hour convinced one of the beasts was invisible. It turns out it was behind a bush. A very obvious bush, I might add.

I ran in circles, I jumped on rocks, I even tried summoning my spirit ashes to sniff them out! Poor spirits had no clue what I wanted.

The Hare-Raising Hunt

The spectral hare was particularly good fun. It was nestled just outside the area, so you could be excused if you missed it. I nearly trampled the poor thing in my haste.

And the imp, the trickster, that one almost made me pull my hair out. Perched high, a little jump will give the advantage.

Why We Love These Moments

These moments are what make Elden Ring so special. It is not just about epic boss fights and min-maxed builds. It's about the little absurdities and the shared experiences.

We all stumble, we all get confused, and we all have that moment of triumphant "Aha!" when we finally solve the simplest of puzzles. It brings players together.

The Reward: A Sense of Accomplishment (and Maybe a Spell)

The reward for this particular puzzle? A new sorcery. The real prize is the satisfaction of figuring it out. Plus bragging rights, of course.

Whether you Google the solution or find the beasts yourself, it is your win! Celebrate your victory in whatever way feels right.

A Word of Advice: Look Up!

If I could offer one piece of advice, it's this: Look up! Many Tarnished forgot to look above them. That's where the imp was hidden!

And don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. Elden Ring is a challenging game, but it's also a hilarious one. Embrace the chaos.

Final Thoughts: It's All About the Journey

So, next time you're wandering around the Lands Between and find yourself stumped by a seemingly simple puzzle, remember the Three Wise Beasts of the South Altar.

Remember that even the most seasoned Tarnished have had their moments of bewilderment. Enjoy the process, embrace the absurdity, and happy hunting!

Now, go forth and find those wise beasts! May the grace guide thee. And may your laughter echo through the Lands Between!
