How Elden Ring's Golden Eyes ACTUALLY work
Ойындар
It could be hiding in the distance or under someone helmet.
With the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC not far from now it would be a good time to look at the rarest thing in Elden Ring which also happens to be the least understood and most secret mechanic.
If you want to try it out yourself then look for "Golden Eyes on everything" on Nexusmods, I made a mod out of this.
Modding is obviously just PC so this is for the few people that actually would care.

Did you know just how rare it is? If you choose to use the mods let me know if they work well, I am nervous.

I think there one more thing (probably bugged) related to that mechanic - for example in Elphael (probably best grace is Prayer Room) the golden eyes affects most of the Cleanrot Knights, when it occurs. Possible due to RNG seed copy paste or an RNG race condition. In one spawn I saw 3 out of 4 Cleanrot Knights with the golden eyes which, as match says, is pretty impossible.

I would semi-farm the golems on the way to the giant pot sometimes, and I always wondered why they would sometimes drop a ton of runes when I first started playing.
I kept thinking the owls had them.. but it was just their eyes naturally glowing in the dark... and I felt really bad for killing them impulsively...

During my first playthrough after the game had just come out I noticed the owls glowing eyes and thought they were special somehow. So I avoided ever killing any owls. Now, after playing through multiple times with multiple characters, it's just become a habit not to kill them.

I can't believe you didn't mention Jellyfish. Yes they can get the golden eyes, and they're the only enemy that has 5 EYES. Apart from Gargoyles etc who can't get it. If you guys wanna see it for yourselves ingame go to Castle Morne, there's a bunch of Jellyfish before the Lionine Misbegotten, pretty good odds you'll see it there

I was doing the bird farm one time, it normally drops 13K with each kill, 17K with the gold scarab and pickled foot, but there was an instance where I saw it drop 80K for me. Idk if it was a bug or what, because it happened right when my pickled foot ran out, and haven’t seen a huge amount of runes pop up like that since. Maybe it has something to do with the gold eyes thing, but I don’t remember noticing gold eyes on the bird, or if they even get them.
Yesterday i got the insanely low chance of having the Ripple Crescent drop from a gold eyed Albinauric, considering the drop rate on that i think thats the rarest thing i’ve had happen so far
I remember walking into Seluvis' gimp dungeon once, and the collapsed Omen Killer had gold eyes. Tried like hell to kill it, but no dice.
When I'm rune farming the ledge in Moghwyn, I've noticed the albinauric on the left closest to the SoG seems to have glowing eyes more often than the others. It's not a visibility thing either, since you can see the glow on all of them including the ones in the back even when they're facing away.

Been watching since deathmode summoner. Its creazy seeing how elden ring has propelled your channel as well as seeing how the production quality has increased. huge congrats on 100k subs!
I've seen goldeneyed slugs in the subterranean inquisition chamber, it was adorable
The Rolling Spheres can have them too I noticed on the rare occasion farming runes at the one by the tower in Caelid, goes from 1.9k to about 9k
Its funny that I started googling what this effect does simply because one of the 3 puppets that killed and stared down pidia had them - even though you can not attack them in this area.
i actually saw a jellyfish with the golden eyes once. but how do you ask? since they're amorph blobs? they have 4 glowing dots surrounding their main circular body distributed in the shape of the cardinal directions on a compass. it was one of the two jellyfish right outside the Tombsward Catacomb in the weeping peninsula, FYI.
always feels good to get a golden eye enemy, especially if they drop big runes to begin with. on my 4th run, had the troll at stormgate spawn with golden eyes, and lemme tell ya, 5k goes far at level 1
OMFG THANK YOU for making this video and finding what parameter enables this on enemies.

Interestingly enough, there is one headless enemy I know for a fact can have glowing eyes as I have witnessed it in unmodded ER. The unique headless virgin abductor that can be found on mt. Gelmir, I witnessed it, and was murdered by it too, so I missed out on getting a screencap.

I don't think it does but it sure feels like whenever I use a high arcane build in my playthroughs, I see a lot more rune skulls and gold eyed enemies, I one time had the Red Wolf at Ranni's mountain top church place wherever had golden eyes while the yellow leaves were falling, it gave me about 90k runes when I killed it
I had one occurrence in Seluvis dungeon of golden eyes spawing on the Omenkiller puppet.

I had four albinaurics at the albinauric farm with glowing eyes all at the same time. The odds had to have been infinitesimal. Have never seen it since.
Yeah I've noticed enemies with glowing eyes. Great when you're farming runes and you get a little more than normal lol
I once played with a friend and we had three enemies that had glowing golden eyes near eachother, that was in liurnia between the academy and the dectus lift, as we tried to go to the church there were some knights that ride on horses and three of these knights on the horse had glowing eyes and gave 5 times the runes, and i freaked out of how rare that is while i explained the golden eyes to my friend, truly a legendary moment for me in elden ring conaidering now i know the chances of this happening

i thought it was just a frenzied flame madness sort of thing. the "gold" might just be the essence of the frenzied flame in them, and we see that those that suffer from madness tend to have exploding fire eyes. maybe (golden) frenzied flame eyes are what happens when a non tarnished entity is suffering from madness. i usually see it by that one frenzy flame tower where you get the howl of shabriri, and usually on the giant rat. creatures that can't go mad build up the frenzied flame inside them, and bosses (exceptionally powerful beings) are immune to the effects (except Gideon, because he is a tarnished) (horah loux might be immune because he became an elden lord)

I find it unlikely to be due to Frenzied Flame, as the Frenzy eye glow is far "deeper" shade of yellow with traces of black compared to this light yellow color, and come off less as a "glow" and more like literal flames inside their eyes, with small licks of flame dancing around unlike these which just have a shimmering effect.

If I recall correctly, Bamco has specific unban time windows, but you'll have to delete inappropriate data to be allowed back online. They give no explanation for "inappropriate" data, and they generally demand you clear all data to be sure the infraction is over with. I will say, Steam should allow you to make a family account share or something similar. People used that to bypass server bans all the time back in Souls days, and it also had a side effect of getting auto-summoned way easier in DS3.
THIS!!! this is why I got a random 55k from the bird farm the other day, I was like "uhhh, bug, what??"
