Elden Ring: Are There Illusory Walls? Answered

Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, Elden Ring is the latest action-RPG that’s just been released for PC and consoles. There are tons of dungeons to explore, along with various main story and optional bosses for you to test your skill against. And, yes, there are also lots of secrets to be uncovered over the next few months. If you’re wondering whether there are illusory walls in Elden Ring, here’s what you need to know.

Are There Illusory Walls in Elden Ring?

The short answer is yes, there are indeed illusory walls to be discovered all over Elden Ring. They’re not very common, but they do exist.

In order to check whether a wall is fake, all you have to do is roll into it and it’ll disappear if it is indeed illusory. There’s no need to strike it with your weapon like in some of FromSoft’s previous games.

How to Tell If a Wall Is Illusory

That being said, there isn’t really a way to tell whether a wall is fake or not. There are no discernible giveaways, which means that discovering an illusory wall in Elden Ring really comes down to trial and error, and really trying to explore every nook and cranny of each dungeon that you’re in.

There may be some environmental clues to help you out. For instance, if you enter a room with nothing inside, it might be worth checking all the walls as these games are usually designed with purpose.

The first illusory walls can be found in the second region, Liurnia of the Lakes, as you enter the Academy of Raya Lucaria. It’s possible that we might’ve missed some earlier ones, and it’s very likely that there are tons of other secrets that we’ve missed in our playthrough as well.
