Elden Ring Dataminer Discovers Torrent Horse Attack Cut Content

Surpassing success of all previous Soulsborne titles, 2022 action role-playing game Elden Ring by developer From Software and publisher Bandai Namco have sold over 12 million copies in less than a month following its global launch.

Elden Ring, like many other From Software games is full of cut content and hidden references that people are still discovering. One such interesting detail is that in-game spirit steed Torrent originally had other actions and attack move.

Torrent is among many NPCs you come across in Elden Ring and one of your best companions in Lands Between. YouTuber Zullie the Witch recently found that Torrent previously had more animations aside from a powerful kick attack.

By looking at Elden Ring Network Test code, she was able to discover that Torrent would exist separately from player character. Currently, he only appears when summoned by a Tarnished warrior and disappears when player jump off.

There were animations for Torrent eating grass, shaking his rugged mane and sometime use a back kick to take down smaller enemies. These unused activities were probably added as part of his roaming behavior when no one is riding.

However, these actions are also available when mounted and therefore, his kick was meant to be usable. Torrent's attack move is very much functional against your adversaries but they are almost useless against bigger fiends like Trolls.

Zullie the Witch shares her latest findings regarding Elden Ring's horse Torrent in a video on YouTube.

Although these attacks are hard to line up and launch against enemies, it would have been fun seeing Torrent kick them in the face. May be some talented Elden Ring modder will find a way to eventually mod these attacks in game soon.

Unlike other open-world games, Elden Ring allows player a lot of freedom and let them slowly discover everything at their own pace. So far, hackers have found a hidden arena, secret door and Fia's skimpy lingerie item Deathbed Smalls.
