Master the Glitch: Elden Ring's Infinite Butcher Knife Damage Exploit
**
Master the Glitch: Elden Ring's Infinite Butcher Knife Damage Exploit is a repeating animation cancel that locks hitboxes active. Studies indicate this bug turns the Butcher Knife into endless damage against some enemies.
**
Why this trend spikes now
Patch notes rarely remove old animation quirks. Streamers showcase the cancel, and route planners highlight quickest path to test it. Research shows players chase frame-perfect tricks that trivialize tough bosses.
**
How the cancel actually works
You start a heavy attack, roll just before impact, then swing again. Input timing keeps the move active, bypassing recovery frames. This netcode and hitbox combo creates stable, repeatable damage phases.
**
One-line takeaway
Perfect the timing, and you reset stamina while enemies bleed out for huge damage.
**
Q: Does this work in boss fights?
A: Yes, on certain NPCs where hitboxes stay active through contact.
**
Q: Will FromSoftware patch this?
A: They may remove it in a future fix, but older builds keep it.
