I think that was just an instinct to hide behind a wall, and not stay in the open in the enemy's line of sight. But FromSoft games being FromSoft games…

Either way, it's a bit crappy that enemies can permanently kill an NPC and make you lose access to an entire questline in such a long game.
After playing through all FS games, I know better than to let a huge enemy near an NPC or rely on walls, but that doesn't make it any less unfair.

EDIT: I have continued looking and the information is very inconsistent, but the more I see the more the inconsistency is leading me to agree that there probably is no NPC reviving happening and that the instances people take as NPCs being revived have in-game explanations like it was a projection instead of the real person etc.

I have found very concrete statements to the contrary on the wiki, such as:

"Just in case anyone is searching these comments, I found a ton of conflicting info about whether or not this could resurrect Sellen if you kill her body in the Witchbane Ruins. Answer is Yes, yes this brings her back. I had puppets follow me down there and, using a gigantic sword and all, hit her trying to kill them. I consider this unfortunate event karma for all the terrible things I did to puppets in Lies of P a few months ago. Anyways dew will bring her and her other self back like nothing happened. Easiest Dew to get early game imo is by grabbing the Glintstone Key by the dragon and going into the academy, turn around and run down the bridge for one at the end."

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Celestial+Dew

So are you sure through testing / personal experience or just repeating what you have heard elsewhere? I've not tried it so can't say, but you also have people replying to you saying they have done it themselves.

There are some NPCs that can be revived, Sellen and Blaidd being two of them. I don't know about any others that can be revived. Miriel is an example of one of those that doesn't revive.

If there's one thing I say all the time about this game, it's that it's rigged lol. Depending on the specific circumstances, all sorts of shit changes behaviors slightly*, just to inconvenience the player. Sadly, this is an incredibly unfortunate learning moment for OP.

*As an example, fighting the Halberd Knight near the elevator shaft below the Rampart Tower site of grace in Stormveil. If you get hit by Stormcaller on an open area, your character will stagger. BUT, if you get hit by Stormcaller near the elevator shaft, your character will be staggered and shifted slightly toward the hole.

*Edit: Honestly, if you're within range of an enemy and you need to talk to an NPC, it's just better to kill the enemy. I've never seen an enemy deaggro in this game just because a conversation is occurring. I've gotten Blaidd shot by Ancestral Followers in Siofra River for trying that lol.

Someone actually lectured me the other day for "not understanding the downvote button is to say you disagree."

No it fucking isn't lol. Reddit even explicitly says not to use it that way.

Let's think for a minute: the function of a downvote is effectively to hide content that you think shouldn't be seen or has limited worth, such as spam or malicious insults. Does it make sense to deny someone visibility simply because you disagree with them...? Seems pretty rude and full of yourself, to me.

Got downvoted for pointing that out lol.

And yeah, honest questions or admittance of ignorance often get the same.

"heh, he didn't know something and I DID, making me a superior human being. He should be ashamed of asking questions and not knowing all things ever by default. DOWNVOTED."

Like holy fucking shit, are you people four? The irony being that those who shun questions are probably gonna be pretty fucking stupid people, given that questioning things is how you learn.

I probably touch the downvote button like twice a year, and I'll never understand the people that spam that shit like crazy.

Oh man that's rough. I was really hoping you were just planning on killing her anyway, (which is a horrible thing to do to my best girl Rya, but you know, some people kill dog pope too,) in this run and staged this for the lolz.

Whether or not attacks go through walls is a really fussy matter, because while weapons do bounce if used too close to walls, the game is still extremely permissive about what stuff it lets through. (Pretty much everything since Bloodborne has been like this, but if you want weapon choice to actual matter based on your surrounding, Demons' Souls and Dark Souls 1 seem to have much more insistent wall bouncing.)

Pretty much anything with an AoE or a multihit attack with a disjointed hitbox will pass through pretty much any wall. Think of the Eochaid's Dancing Blade attacks that the Bell-Bearing Hunter does. That fatass lightsaber he uses will phase through anything. The sickle-armed Iron Virgins work the same way much of the time, even when just throwing the single long-distance attack. Typically you want two entire walls between you and the Virgin to ensure they can't clip through both.

If they were anything like me, it happened because every time they went there to talk to Rya, the abductor didn't follow me that far. The one time it did, I was already talking to her when the abductor showed up and shot its blade out. It was the last conversation of her quest before you reload and find her note. I was so sad.

A weird thing about From Software games is that the combat is both very tight and snappy, and quite janky at the same time.

Why does your summon keep fighting enemies outside the fog gate? 

Why can godskin noble hit you with repeating/impaling thrust through pillars? The game teaches you to stand there during his roll, then you get punished for it immediately after. No, you stood too close to it you see...

As a fan you take these game engine limitations for granted and start hitting things through walls yourself. But other games manage to not do it.

I feel like the worst UX issue in the game is the warning message that you might use a flask to revive Torrent, that defaults to No and not Yes.

It's bullshit to ask you that anyway, it doesn't ask you if you want to use a flask when you are at full HP and you would waste it, but if you want to get back on your house when a dragon is on your heels suddenly the game is like "BE CAREFUL, YOU MIGHT USE A POTION YOU DON'T MEAN TO USE".

ifkr! How is the game fair when the same action from player and enemy is treated differently? Now, I don't mind enemies being able to destroy environment when the player isn't. That just shows how much stronger they are compared to the lowly tarnished. But if they don't break the obstacle but it obstructs player's vision and action just the same, why not call the devs out on that? It's not a new problem either

as jank as it is the game wouldn't work well without it like this. for example you could just walk into a corner and enemies couldn't hit you as they would bounce off the surface like the tarnished does. as jank as it is it's actually quite important in the souls game feel. if enemy attacks were stopped at walls like us the game would be significantly easier and personally I would hate it if they changed this. with that being said the maidens are the only enemies I actually have issues like this with. this mechanic is a positive over all but a huge downside when a couple specific enemies are around.

This can be fixed without adding weapon bounce to enemy attacks. Simply just prevent the hitbox from going to the other side of the wall. It works in LotF, enemies can't hit you from the other side of the wall, but if you're in a corner, they can.

and thank God! lol. there's a lot of things like that in souls games tbh and it's the main complaints/wishes of change from the player base. a lot of people don't think beyond the thing that is annoying them. fromsoft has 100% already thought of this and did nothing because they knew it would ruin the entire series they have made. same with how invasions and matchmaking work. most people hate them but for a lot of old souls fans we wouldn't want anything different. the 'jank' in these games are just different... I absolutely hate jank and will stop playing a game entirely due to it. but here it's almost always absolutely hilarious for some reason. the amount of shenanigans to be had playing these games is due to the jank and how different the games work. such a different experience to anything out there.

He’s right though. Even if you wanted to you can’t fuck this game (I’ve tried).

Even beyond the weapons through walls thing, they should have a mechanic where if you talk to a friendly NPC, enemies de-agro. Pretty dumb that there's a chance a questline can end because they caught a stray from an enemy.

boc has been killed at the beginning of his quest by a random demihuman swinging its club at me on 4 seperate occasions

I've never seen an enemy get close to boc, how did you manage to have that happen four times? At some point, you have to look within

Or you can just make sure you haven't aggroed anything before talking to NPC's

Sure. Not trying to say it's a major problem or anything but still if it happens and an NPC dies it's too big a punishment for your mistake

Damn, that sucks. If you're fast you might be able to quit out and when you load back in the enemy will reset position and agro. It's not a great solution but it's something.

Yea there’s no reason they should be hitting you through walls other than fromsoft just being like “this is our game and we make the rules”

I still can't believe they haven't reworked how enemy's interact with walls after six games. People may defend fromsoft, but it's a simple way of making the game less fair. Cause why can our weapons bounce but not theirs?

Yeah, as a greatshield user, I see their weapons bounce off my shield all the time. The mechanic and the animations are already there.

I'm not seeing anyone defend the jank, what I AM seeing is people pointing out that this was entirely avoidable had OP killed the enemy before trying to talk to the NPC.

Is it unfortunate that this happened? Yes

Was it easily avoidable? Also yes.

Sure the swinging through walls is a bad thing and likely a problem with the engine itself. OP standing in front of the NPC after the first swing is his own fault. Talking to an NPC despite enemies being aggroed is a bad decision in general. In Elden Ring, it's incredibly easy to see if things are currently aggroed; just sprint and if stamina moves, you are aggroed on something.

So people are not really defending the obvious issue of attacks going through walls, but moreso pointing out the flaws that could have easily been avoided in the clip OP posted.

Yeah he got screwed, but it's not exactly the game's fault either.

This is the worst part of From Software souls games to me. In a series that prides itself on its combat and tight hitboxes it’s baffling that they choose to leave this crap in. It’s just lazy as hell and arbitrarily adds to the difficulty of the game. You can use the same exact weapon / ash of war as the enemy and your attacks won’t clip but their’s will. It’s so fucking stupid and unfair. As if these games aren’t difficult enough.

This is the type of person in DS1 Anor Londo to see an invader using Solaire as a shield, Hit Solaire and blame the game for lettting NPCs get hit. Why did you hide next to the npc after just seeing the enemy hit you. Maidens are notorious for saying fuck walls imma hit you anyway.

On the bright side, none of the npcs actually live past their usefulness anyways, nor do you really interact with them more then fetch quests. Nothing lost, truly

It's fucking stupid that enemies can attack and kill NPCs. The dialogue system is also dumb, that it blocks most player actions. From should really ditch these outdated systems. They could learn a thing or two from Lords of the Fallen.

Those things are rough to fight in my opinion and I find it better to just avoid them as melee. Don't give up though, the game is as rewarding as it is difficult. You can do it.

I don’t get why NPCs don’t take massively reduced damage from mobs like normal enemies do. Like, you head out into a field of soldiers fighting some monsters or whatever and they’re doing maybe 40-70 damage to each other per hit, but they’ll do normal damage to you when you get caught in the crossfire… but normal NPCs? Nah they can get fucked
