Found a Reddit thread claiming that there was an illusory wall in Volcano Manor that took fifty hits to open instead of just one.

At first I thought, "Surely this is just some dude using some clever video editing to troll the fan base into hitting this wall fifty times to have himself a giggle."
Then I tried it. And it's fucking real.
I am part extremely amused and part absolutely horrified. Occasionally hitting a wall to see if there's a secret door is fine and cool, but surely it's just bad game design to ask players to run around hitting every wall in the game fifty times, right? I really thought that these From Software folks were mostly reasonable game designers deep down, that their vindictive tendencies had been exaggerated. Now I'm not so sure!
And now shall follow a period of the rabid fanbase not only hitting every suspicious wall in Elden Ring fifty times, but hitting every suspicious wall in all the previous From games fifty times. Good grief.
