Elden Ring Player Discovers Walking Mausoleums Can Be Shoved Around

It's a new week, which means Elden Ring fans have discovered something about a game that is over two years old at this point. Elden Ring really is the gift that keeps on giving, as while we always think everything to learn about the game has already been well-documented, the director turns around and says there's "something small" still undiscovered, or a player does something absolutely nobody thought to do which yields interesting results.
Today's discovery is a terrific example of that very thing, as Reddit user Silvertongued99 has somehow discovered that the Walking Mausoleums that you can find dotted across The Lands Between can actually be pushed around if you know the correct incantation. Usually, these great big behemoths are felled either by players tidying up their feet, or by leaping onto them from above, but it turns out you can actually give them a good shove with Rejection.
A video demonstrating the technique was uploaded to the Elden Ring subreddit by Silvertongued99 earlier today, as they simply walk up to the leg of Walking Mausoleum and use Rejection. After using the incantation, the Walking Mausoleum is shoved quite a considerable distance given its size, and using Rejection in succession actually lets you push it along quite quickly.
Due to the angle of the video, it's difficult to see whether it's just some weird leg physics, but I have dived into my own Elden Ring save to test it out and can confirm the entire being moves upon using Rejection, though you need to be right up against a planted leg for it to work. If it's already in the ground or has its legs in the air, it won't move.
With this newfound information, Elden Ring fans have already begun coming up with experiments to see how much they can break the game. Some have suggested trying to push it off a cliff to see if it can die, while others have grand plans to try and move one Walking Mausoleum to another for the giggles.
In regard to the former, while not impossible, it seems unlikely it would fall off a cliff and some invisible wall would be there to prevent it from doing so, seeing as though the game doesn't actually intend for these things to die. As for the latter, it would be very difficult to maintain your FP levels to push a Walking Mausoleum that far, though you never know if a group of fans forms a team and load up on Cerulean Flasks for scientific purposes. You never know with Elden Ring fans these days.
