Elden Ring’s Torrent Is Not as Useful as It Should Be Because of Bugs 

The sprawling Land’s Between in Elden Ring is so breathtaking that it truly is a feast for the eyes. It’d be a shame if you didn’t explore every nook and cranny of its map and soak in its gloomy yet alluring visuals.  

Some might say that the map is so vast that exploring every corner needs blood, sweat, and tears. Thankfully, this is where Torrent comes into action. Players can use this mystical fusion of a horse and a goat to traverse across at cruising speeds for as long as they want.  

But unfortunately, even this beast comes with its own set of bugs that were previously mistaken for game features. 

Probably, the biggest of them all is its incapacity to double jump when falling off a ledge. The fact that this doesn’t happen all the time made enthusiasts think it was a part of the game or associated with a loadout that’s too heavy for the poor beast to carry.  

Elden Ring - What's wrong with Torrent?

However, YouTuber Zullie believes that it isn’t the case. According to him, players plunging to death is down to a bug that’s triggered only when one holds certain types of weapons (larger weapons like/ swords and spears) in a specific way (over their shoulder). 

So, in conclusion, there is a big chance that your horse not double jumping inconveniently is not just a random act of barbarity but a glitch that’s hellbent on making your life worse. 

Unfortunately, the problems linked with Torrent do not end here.  

Many enthusiasts must have noticed that, unlike other NPCs, Torrent’s health isn’t automatically refilled. The reason behind it is that since the mystical horse-goat creature isn’t tied to a specific portion of the map, it does not follow the same script.  

Therefore, Torrent’s health does not regenerate naturally, and players will have to provide it with food or portions to ensure their traveling partner does not kick the bucket.
