After killing the Agheel's fans I began scouring the ruins for treasure and keeping an eye on Elden Ring Runes the sky to see if the dragon responded to the cries of its adoring public. I couldn't find anything worth mentioning until I discovered it. A treasure chest with the tiny gap between the body and lid shining with luminescence. It was almost calling out to me, asking for me to take it open. I obliged. It was a rare chance for me this early in Elden Ring, and I didn't want to let my over-abundant vigilance keep me from my prize.

In retrospect, I ought to have been more cautious. As many Souls players be aware of, FromSoftware is fond of making traps inside treasure chests. Sometimes the treasure chests come alive. They're referred to as mimics, and they're huge assholes when they catch you by surprise. However, this was not a mimic. A mimic that I could take on without a sweat and still have something to be awaiting after beating it. But this was something completely different. When I opened the chest, I was surrounded by an intense, purple fog. It was accompanied by a warning message that indicated the teleportation was against my wishes.

My wolf friends could do was sit and watch as I was sucked away. A lengthy loading process later I discovered myself in a tiny building. A pop-up notification for the region indicated that I was in the Sellia Crystal Tunnel. I saw a humanoid armed with a staff stroll through the doorway of the building and quickly sank into a crouch to hide my appearance. As I stepped out into the dark surroundings, I saw men with magical tools to chip away at the bright-colored veins on the walls and ground. On the top of the shack I just left was a strange insect-like creature, with many arms, looking over the workers in Elden Ring Items for sale the same way as a foreman or supervisor.
