A mystery is afoot in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
The combination of a potential secret and evocative wording surely an in-game pulse must mean something, right?
has the community talking.
After all, many players are experiencing the same thing, but nobody is able to pinpoint a source.
Its starting to make people feel like theyre being gaslit.
Is it happening, or are they imagining it?
Does it even mean anything?
The thing is, the pulse happens with no Bloodfiend in sight.
But if its not related to an enemy or combat, then whats going on?
Once you kill Bayle, you receive a heart, which could explain the vibrations beating rhythm.
After reading the Bayle theory, I tried finding the characters involved since I hadnt encountered them yet.
Mysterious or mundane?
Perhaps the easiest explanation is the most disappointing: the pulses mean nothing, because theyre a glitch.
If this is the case, its reminiscent of thesecret door that players found inside of Volcano Manor.
The discovery initially seemed to signal something wild, especially because it took an entire month to find it.
That, and it was an illusory wall which always tease some kind of secret on the other side.
But not long after the apparent discovery, players found out that the door didnt mean anything at all.
For now, nobody can explain whats causing the heartbeat-like pulse with certainty.
Im guessing the enigma is more tantalizing than whatever is actually causing the pulse, though.
