In the video, the player is seen facing off against a giant dog in the region of Caelid inElden Ring. The monstrousdogs ofElden Ringare formidable opponents with powerful attacks and a large health pool. They have small forelegs and massive hindlegs and have the ability to chase down a target even when on a mount. However, cheflajohn has a secret weapon in the form of the Beast Repellant Torch. When the player equips the torch, the dog does not attack; instead, it circles and stares at them.
This behavior starkly contrasts when the player equips a different weapon, as the dog becomes aggressive and attacks violently. This demonstrates the utility of the Beast Repellant Torch, as it allows the player to avoid combat in situations inElden Ringwhere they may be outnumbered or outmatched by ghastly creatures like giant dogs. According to its item description, this particular torch is infused with a special incense that releases a scent that is unpleasant to dogs and other beasts, causing them to avoid the player. This aroma can be a valuable tool for gamers who need to navigate through areas with large numbers of aggressiveenemies inElden Ring.
Overall, the Beast Repellant Torch is just one of the many items gamers can use inElden Ringto gain an advantage in combat. Its ability to repel certain enemies and avoid a brawl can be valuable in certain situations. As players continue to explore the world ofElden Ring, it will be interesting to see how they incorporate the Beast Repellant Torch and other items into their strategies for success.
