This 50-hit Elden Ring illusory wall is probably a bug
1This 50-hit Elden Ring illusory wall is probably a bug
I wouldn't go smacking every wall a million times just yet.
"Hidden path ahead," "secret ahead," "try attacking," these are the sorts of cheeky Elden Ring messages that might just drive you up a wall (after you've taken a swing or two at it with your weapon, that is.)
However, not only are there honest-to-god illusory walls that need to be attacked to dispel sprinkled throughout Elden Ring, one industrious user on the Elden Ring subreddit, teristam, uncovered an illusory wall that takes dozens of hits to reveal.
It's located in the mid-to-late game zone, Volcano Manor, in the secret passageways connected to the Manor's side rooms (covered here in our Blasphemous Blade guide.) You already have to get past one standard illusory wall to discover this passageway in the first place. My mind boggles at what possessed teristam to keep at testing this one.
Now, before you commit to 50 swings minimum on every suspicious wall in Elden Ring, I'd caution that every aspect of this one indicates to me that it’s unintentional. Every other illusory wall in Elden Ring makes a distinctive sound when dispelled. This one just kind of clips away without any fanfare. Additionally, it reappears on resting at a Site of Grace unlike other illusory walls.
