It’s no news that the animal rights organization PETA is committed to protecting animals even in video games. But with the latest tweet, the animal rights advocates reveal a surprising trick in Elden Ring that even helps players in battles against riders. MeinMMO reveals what the video was about.
What is it about?
- The animal rights organization PETA shares a video on Twitter with five tips for Elden Ring.
- The video conveys the thought of not exploiting horses in Elden Ring while showing gameplay scenes.
- The side effect of the video is a clever gameplay trick that many players did not know yet.
- “Elden Ring” players see the gameplay and learn that they can parry attacks from riders and thereby free the horses from the riders.
How to make annoying riders an easy target
How has PETA helped? The animal rights organization PETA posts a video on Twitter featuring gameplay scenes from Elden Ring.
In the video, one of five tips shows how players can prevent their opponents from exploiting horses.
The scene shows an enemy rider initiating an attack. The player parries the rider’s attack, causing the rider to fall and become an easy target.
We are embedding the tweet with the video from PETA here. It’s the second tip at about 12 seconds:
The organization advocates for the protection of animals through sometimes controversial actions, fights against factory farming, animal testing, dog and cock fighting, and the exploitation of animals for the entertainment industry.
Another important pillar of PETA is the fight against the killing of animals and criticism of the meat industry.
Which games has PETA criticized? In Far Cry 6, the animal rights organization criticized a mini-game in which players participate in cockfights.
PETA also criticized Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag for “glorifying” whaling. Generally, hunting, fishing, or killing scenes involving animals should not be included in games, PETA stated in relation to Red Dead Redemption.

How do players react: As with many PETA tweets, opinions among Twitter users are again very different this time. We from MeinMMO show you some player quotes that found the video quite positive.
- Twitter user @TafferKing451: “I can’t believe I just learned from a PETA tweet that parrying immediately takes out an enemy lmao.”
- Twitter user @Xeg_GA: “This is probably the best tweet I’ve seen from PETA.”
- Twitter user @cptHamburger: “I don’t really follow PETA, but this is the most normal and kind of cutest PETA thing I’ve ever seen?”
Although there are always discussions about criticism regarding the killing and exploitation of animals in video games, the feedback on the latest tweet is completely new.
Many players are amused by the fact that they learned a helpful tip from a PETA video that they did not know before.
Overall, there is a lot of positive feedback on the video, as this surprising help was not to be expected.
