Elden Ring’s 50-hit fake wall was apparently a bug all the time and has been removed in the latest patch.
If you can not remember, the mysterious wall was first discovered in March and shook society, as illusion walls are nothing new for FromSoftware games, but one that only disappears after 50 hits meant that virtually any wall in the game could hide a whole new area.
However, this wall in Volcano Manor did not seem to go anywhere exciting, which made players wonder if it was just a strange bug, something FromSoftware has now effectively confirmed after the latest 1.04 patch turned it into a regular wall without illusory properties.
apparently taking some fake walls in the Fire Ring takes several hits to reveal, and my God, that changes everything

YouTuber Zullie the Witch returned to the wall after Elden Ring’s latest patch was released and found that FromSoftware has quietly made it solid again.
The latest patch therefore marks the end of an era for one of Elden Ring’s first, big strange secrets, and another may soon join it in obscurity. Deathbed Smalls – a fancy pair of underwear that can only be obtained through hacking – was discovered around the same time, but is now used by trolls to soft-ban players.
Elden Ring has dominated the gaming sphere since it was launched in February, however, produced plenty of other bizarre stories.
Players have discovered a way to get one of the game’s toughest bosses to defeat themselves, a now legendary player called Let Me Solo Here went viral after defeating Malenia for hundreds of other players, and someone has now turned the game on during seven minutes.
In our 10/10 review, IGN said: “The Fire Ring is a massive iteration of what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging battle to an incredibly open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path.”
