The pressure plates that cause arrows to shoot can be used to change direction of the boulders. When you step on plate you can hear the boulder contraption move.
Yeah, as I was running around and triggering the traps I finally noticed the sound of “mechanical” and that the boulders changed paths. Thought that was really cool and a great touch within the game.
DUDE!! I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHY THAT HAPPENED!! YOURE SUCH A GENIUS I always was like "whaT? am i suposed to interpret an snake dude changed and then left?"
@@rohithgeorge7530 best kind of discovery tbh. I tried getting into DSR a few times but I give up from getting lost. I usually beat the gargles but after that I’m lost. This time something clicked and I got the Gaping Dragon, beat Havel(no hit) on my 3rd attempt, and found my way to Sen’s fort. Once there I noticed the boulders and it bummed me out. Those snake guys were strong for my level so I wanted to get them killed from the arrows. After stepping on a plate for 3rd time my brain finally tuned into the sound of something mechanical engaging. Sure enough, boulders are being changed by arrow plates. A completely random discovery. A lot of fun and it has the potential to make life significantly better for a lot of players. Hope you have a wonderful 4th!
Haha, I knew it was changing but I didn't know why, I thought it was just a scripted event after you pass an area to f*** with you. But now you can go back and forth and move it further, wow
Yeah, terribly sorry to inform you guys, but I watched several clips of players passing through this section and this fact does not confirm. It may look like the boulder has changed because of the pressure plate, but it's just coincidence the pressure plate and the place which triggers the boulder be located near each other. The proff is that if you go back to the entrance of this room, where before there was a fogwall the boulder will change again to stop trowing boulders at the path before and obviously there's no pressure plate which triggers it. The finishing proff would be someone jumping over the pressure plate to see if it still works, as well as trying in different dark souls versions, but I highly doubt it, since you can't really arque against the boulder switching back once you pass through the door.
@@joaohenriqueneuhaus2023 no, the plates do in fact trigger the boulders to change direction. No coincidence about it. As I walk over the plate you can indeed hear the mechanism change direction.
@@Rain1dog For the reason I just mentioned, the place which triggers the change in direction is the same as the pressure plate. Now do as I say and pass through the fog gate near the boulder path with Siegmeyer...No pressure plate there, but you'll see the boulder change again.
@@joaohenriqueneuhaus2023 there are a few locations throughout the fort that the player causes the boulder to change directions. I spent a hour the other night messing around with it. It is not just that one location.
@@Rain1dog Then you're confirming it's not pressure plates...How many of those locations which trigger the boulder have? The plate in front of the large titanite chest? The plate in front of the triple arrow trap? Does any of these pressure plates do something? And if the answer is NO, than how can we still say "if you step on a trap plate it will change direction boulders"?
