It could well be a nod to the saga of Hideo Kojima.
In just a few days, Elden Ring has managed to become an online phenomenon as FromSoftware’s biggest and most ambitious game to date. There are plenty of enemies, secrets and curiosities to discover in this spiritual successor to the open world Souls saga, and some of them lead to really funny situations. Like this user who tried to mimic Snake’s stealth skills from Metal Gear Solid, but backfired.
One of the great novelties of Elden Ring compared to the classic Souls is the option to use stealth, a mechanic inherited from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which allows you to sneak up on an enemy from behind and deal a blow that can be fatal . In addition, there are objects such as the Mimic Veil, which allows you to take the form of an inanimate object on the stage to try to go unnoticed.
This Reddit user thought it would be a good idea mimic the tactical espionage tactics of Metal Gear Solid and as if he were Snake on one of his missions, turn into a box and advance behind the enemy until finishing him off stealthily. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, when it’s close enough, the knight notices his presence and turns to deal him a huge sword blow. The montage of the video is very funny, yes.
Actually, the Mimic Veil seems more designed for hide from an invading playerfor example, rather than to catch an enemy by surprise, because any player action, such as moving or using a vial, reveals their identity. The truth is that the stealth system is leaving very good moments in this Elden Ring, other players joked, for example, with having a strength build and wielding swords so big that they protruded from the bushes when crouching to use stealth .
