Elden Ring Siofra River Well Reaction Compilation 

Definitely one of the most memorable moments in the game

The Seven Stages of Siofra: 1- Oh what's this? 2- Hmmm seems to be going far down 3- Still going 4- I'm getting concerned 5- I've made a mistake 6- This is the most beautiful thing ever 7- Touch grace so I never have to do it again

Whoever crafted that cutout in the mountain to reveal the underground during the descent deserves a fucking Emmy.

This is the moment where all Elden Ring players realised that this game is gonna be the game of the year

I’m so happy Elden Ring won GOTY. Moments like this are so rare in video games

This is why graphics don't really matter when the art direction was already beautiful

In my 20 years of gaming, this is easily a top 5 moment for me. Elden Ring is truly an unforgettable adventure

I've done multiple runs of this game by now. But nothing ever beats the first time - and this moment pretty much sums it up and defines what makes this game so special.

I love how just that little partial view of the ghostly purple sky with the false stars and the massive architecture just melts everyone's minds in similar ways. I'm so glad to have experienced finding this on my own with no indication it existed as well, such a great moment and a big reason to never spoil games, books, or film before diving in.

Other developers would've definitely made this and other areas dlc. From Software is a jewel.

I thought the entire map was just Lyndell and I was like “nah, the map is already too big” then i saw Caelid,i thought that was the last area, then there was the underground and night city then more and waaaaaa

This moment is one of the best in gaming I’ve ever had. I ran in here being chased by a Runebear thinking it was a normal dungeon and then you discover it’s an entire underground city. You feel so small and it feels like the world just opens up and you realize how big everything is

The only thing I regret from playing Elden Ring is that I can't erase my memories to enjoy this game for the first time again...

This is to me, Elden Ring’s “overlooking the Great Plateau for the first time moment”. I absolutely lost my shut when it happened.

We thought the jump button was there for us to finally be able to enjoy some verticality. In actuality, the verticality was there for Miyazaki; the jump button just enabled him to go big.

I have played video games since ps1 so thats more than 20 years, accidentally discovering siophra river is probably one of the best feelings in my video game history.

The crazy thing is this: Every building, every platform, essentially everything you can see you can reach. Elden Ring really mastered Open World like no one else, because you know, that if you can see it, you can reach it.

This was my first Fromsoft game. Let me tell you, when I got here, I Realized that this was like no other game ive played before…I got chills with the music. The first playthrough was MAGICAL and will forever hold a special place in my life. Thank You Elden Ring ❤

私も彼らと同じように、「待って、これはどこまで降りるの？」と思いましたね。 もちろんそのあと絶景を見て言葉を失いました。

I will never forget this moment. Even rewatching these reactions now -- chills. Not to be cheesy, but ART.

Remarkable what they were able to do with this game.. I'm so blown away by the quiet development of this masterpiece, everything fromsoft learned during their run, only being announced when it was close to done- and then to not only deliver on the ABSURD hype the trailer brought, but to EXCEED it, is genuinely rare these days

It's like entering ash lake in ds1 for the first time.

For anyone wondering, it's pronounced Sheef-ra. It's an Irish name.

"I am not sure I should be here." - That was my first reaction.

This moment fucking blew me away and I realized I wasn’t jus t playing dark souls 3.5, I was playing one of the greatest open world games of all time

It drives me nuts when they look away from the incredible view

I was by myself when I was playing this and my jaw dropped. One of the most memorable moments I’ve had in gaming

Man I wanna see their reactions to the city of Nokron. I was blown away by how it looked like we just went into outer space and there's just a city in the middle of it. That was an amazing moment for me

when you thought the overworld is big then you find another entire different world below it. Man that feeling is one of a kind.

What I love above all else about the moment you stumble upon this place is that it is the moment Elden Ring sets itself apart from any other game... There's a freaking entire map under the map, and there are like 4-5 secret zones with some having secret zones hidden inside them... and NONE of them are marked, you don't get told to go there, it's not the typical modern AAA crap of: Hey, we spent money making this content so here's a marker so you know you have to go there and "discover" it. Elden Ring just has it there, and if you find it good for you, if not then better luck next time. Elden Ring is a game that doesn't treat the player like an idiot. Elden Ring is a game that is not afraid to be played. And that's why no other AAA studio can emulate the sheer sense of discovery that From Software achieves with their games.

I still remember my first playthrough. When I found that elevator I told my friend all about it and how freaking huge the map must be, little did we know it would end up being even bigger than we thought back then. Easily one of my favorite games by now, absolutely love it.

actually one of my favorite gaming moments ever

I love how the view of the new sky draws everyones eyes towards it like it’s magnetic. Fromsoft really knows how to design their levels for the experience. And the background music fading up really amplifies the effect. This descent into the unexpected is one of the most memorable moments in this game for me.

Elden Ring brought back a magic long lost in the game industry!! Really a memorable game!

This game mastered and set the standard for atmosphere and world design. The definition of epic. I cannot recall or remember all the wow moments I had when I had my first playthrough and saw things for the first time, music kicking in and just getting dragged and pulled into this world and watched in awe. Elden Ring also is easily the game where I took the most screenshots.

That moment when you realise there's levels to this game, quite literally.

I was already amazed by the game at this point, but discovering siofra river was the moment I knew this game was something beyond excellent.

People should remember this and understand why er won best art direction

This game has so many memorable moments and areas. I'd never seen anything like Siofra in a game before this.

Discovering the Eternal City and Haligtree were amazing first time experiences

I think they were trying to recapture the magic of that elevator ride in Dark Souls from the Undead Parish back down to Firelink Shrine, one of the most memorable moments in their games because it showcased the incredibly interconnected and vertical map design that DS1 had, which I haven't seen done so well in any game before or since. The way the wall cracks open and what you thought was some underground area turns into a whole world especially.

This was the moment i fell in love with Elden Ring

i love being able to live vicariously through watching everyone’s reactions. i would do just about anything to be able to experience this for the first time again 😌

This was the exact moment where my feeing of being underwhelmed with Limgrave quickly shifted to “Wow, FromSoft did it again” and I proceeded to have like 5 more of these moments throughout the game

The more I played. The more I was in awe... it is literally the best game ever made and it's not even the last of its kind...

Nokron was a huge WTF moment for me

Honestly, when I found this place, I felt completely overwhelmed, but in the best way possible. The game just kept reminding me of how much there is to do and to discover. I love it to this day. Can't wait for the DLC.

All time gaming moment for me

This game has topped my alltime favourite rpg skyrim of its place...best game ever created and a true show of passion and sheer talent at fromsoft

God I miss seeing this for the first time. Blew my freaking mind. I wasn’t this excited to game since the release of tbc wow.

"Oh my god, it's beautiful... holy shit!" Somebody send Ubisoft and Guerrilla Games this clip with a note explaining the difference between graphical fidelity and art direction.

Sephora River lol

Totally unexpected when i discover this. After +30 years playing games this is one of my top moments ever

this area is insane. elden ring is just a masterpiece.

One of those you'd never expect moments in a video game. Elden ring is a masterpiece they weren't kidding that everything you see on screen you can reach and it was amazing that there was a whole fricking another world below it.

It was just so sooo random, then it happens and my mouth dropped open like blown away

I'm so glad I found this elevator before spoiling it for myself. Back when this game first came out, everyone was racing to find every nook and cranny of the game. I was too, but it was the first souls game I really got into so I was going relatively slowly. I did play ds3 before but only like 15-20 hours. This moment stood out to me in a game with a bunch of standout moments. It represented to me the incredible vastness of the lands between. From Software added so much stuff to see everywhere that it creates the magic of a perfectly curated story. Stories with magic tend to let on that there is more to the world than what the audience sees. It captures the imagination and fosters dedicated communities. This can be difficult to do in a videogame, because the developers have limitations to how much they can reasonably make. A player can easily test the limits of the world by hitting an invisible barrier or similar acts that break immersion. Elden Ring ignores this trend by making a huge world with lots of hidden content. When the player tests the limits of the world, they might be disappointed, or they might be amazed by a secret area or item or boss. The effort this must have taken to make the player feel the organic excitement of exploration must have been immense.

The reward for exploring in this game is legendary and unmatched. I hope future Open World Games take notice.

That moment you open the map and see the words, "show above ground," 🤯

i love how this is obvious hidden loading screen but this is 100x times better than any loading in starfield.

That place and the first sight of Irithyl are the reason why I play Fromoft games totaly blind and without any information except for official trailers

the unravelling of the under world of elden ring is one of the most memorable thing I ever did in a game

That moment when the eerie hum enters your ear and you see the hundred-foot tall pillars. It is mind blowing.

Just for those who like to know: It's pronounced something like Sheefra.. it's an Irish first name meaning elf/fairy... Only reason I knew is cause it's the first name of a good friend.

In the first hour of playing this game, I got teleported to Caelid after opening a chest. Then another 2 hours later, I stumbled onto this. At that point I realized I was playing a game I would need a lifetime for to complete, but would love every second of it

Pre-Release: Wow, this game big. Release: WOW, THIS GAME BIG Discovering all locations: HOLY SHIT, DIS GAME BIIIIIIIGGGGGGG

I still can’t wrap my mind around siofra river. Fromsoft put a whole map under this tiny gazebo that could easily go unnoticed by many players. It was pure magic when I randomly found it. I was running from a rune bear and I just ducked into this random building, accidentally triggered the elevator, and the rest was the best video game moment I’ve ever had.

If only I had a Time Machine.

I thought the entire map was Limgrave at first, but then I encountered this…

This was my most memorable moments of any game ever.

The Elden Ring team are the kind of developers that can simply make a long elevator ride, and manage to make it such a game changing experience, it's worth compiling reactions to.

The exploring was so much fun in this game. You enter one fucking little cave and spend 4 hours there because it leads to huge complex with a boss fight at the end. The exploring and open world aspect of Elden Ring was so masterfully done.

Siofra River Well is a vibe dude

I remember my first time I was like " Am I in space!? did I reach the somewhere in the cosmos!?"

This was genuinely one of the most memorable moments in gaming for me. I was stun locked for a good 30 seconds as my brain processed it. ER is definitely my GOAT.

When video games bring that level of exploration and tension back… it’s more than just a game

miyazaki: oh you think youre done outside? go check the fckin basement!

Easily the best game ever made.

Elden Ring was a vibe.

"I know a good deal when I see one. Unfortunately, I am blind."

everyone knows how hard it is to even create 1 fromsoftware type level that interconnects with shortcuts and just fits with everything and this is simply amazing world design achievement

I remember taking my 2 friends down there together, and their reactions were so fucking funny XD. They're like "wait a second"... its just so funny, because there is still so much to still do up top at this point in the game, and then they show you a space just as big as where you just were is insane LMAO.

Maybe the most incredible moment in a game chock full of incredible moments.

This was biggest WOW in 27 year of my gaming history, trully masterfully done.

oh yes, the good old Sephora river 4:28 😅

It’s amazing how one small platform, plain looking as anything, can lead to such an amazing world underneath. Imagine missing this place.

I’m about 12 hours into the game. I have run out of superlatives. When I got to this part all I could do is just ask “what!?” with my jaw hanging open.

I wish I could wipe my memory of this game JUST so I could relive it all for the first time all over again. The thrill of discovery is one of the greatest things about this game..

This and seeing Leyndell first time ( either by peninsula chest teleport or normal means) were some of the best looking landscapes I have seen in any game and probably even real life.

Can you imagine if Shadows of the Colossus actually had a secret level like this that nobody’s found yet. Some random player would suddenly stumble upon the area, and discover all the unused colossi in it.

The first 6-9 months from release created some of the most magical moments in gaming. People finding all of this. Friends talking about did you see this or that. I had co-workers who never played a souls game just being in awe.

One of the favourite moments from my 30 years gaming. I had goosebumps when I saw the skyscape and heard the music, it hit me so hard I even had a tear in my eye. This game is so special. Moments like this is why I love games so much.

Welcome to Siofra (Irish for fairy/fae) River. Loved it.

Ending with two hillbillies perfect

Moment was surely memorable and a pleasure to watch, plus that ambient music

I was in Sofria River yesterday for the first time and was just stunded by the fact that the area alone has its own sky. Props to the art designers.👍

This was seriously one of my favourite gaming moments, discovering Siofra River. The sheer amount of things to see in this game is astonishing. I was just flabbergasted in how big everything was, making me feel so small and insignificant especially in the first half of the journey. An game every gamer should experience nevertheless. A literal masterpiece

Great vid! This was the most memorable reveal for me, had me crying and laughing at the same time 😂 gg FromSoft

Love this game so much. The vast variety of weapons, armor, shields, spells, and especially all the world where one random build can take you to a whole other part of the world underground, the variety of creatures, enemies, and bosses. Very wel created

Elden ring, by far the best game
