Elden Ring and Dark Souls dataminer "overwhelmed" as community clubs together to cover "a looming $15,000 in medical expenses" in a single afternoon

Zullie the Witch, a data miner and content creator for Elden Ring and Soulsborne games, couldn’t find words enough to express their surprise at the enormous kindness they encountered. In a single afternoon, their community rallied together to cover a staggering $15,000 of their medical expenses.

Zullie’s YouTube channel is filled with fascinating, obscure details and unused content from games such as Elden Ring, Dark Souls trilogy, Sekiro, among others. Their work uncovers information that might otherwise go unnoticed. For instance, they found that the Spirit Eels in Shadow of the Erdtree secretly have tiny legs, and they also discovered a way to make Elden Ring’s enormous Great Dragon Greyoll move like one of its regular dragons which could potentially cause your game to crash.

In a comment pinned on their recent Elden Ring Nightreign YouTube video, Zullie expressed that they feel hesitant about soliciting donations, but admitted: “I’ve been struggling with depression, and it feels like I’m stuck in a deep hole. My attempts to return to making videos at the start of the month only left me slipping further in towards the end instead. On top of that, I haven’t managed to secure a sponsorship video for some time now, and I have approximately $15,000 worth of medical bills looming ahead. Despite my reservations, I am openly asking for your support through donations.

Contrary to Zullie’s advice for viewers not to donate anything that would distress them if lost, they swiftly took down their donation links due to an overwhelming response from supporters. A brief look at their Ko-fi page shows the tremendous effort made by people in uniting for the cause; it is brimming with donations and heartwarming messages that continue to pour in as this story is being written.

In my own words, I’ve always battled with deep-seated anxiety, and recently, this has been heavily focused on financial woes. I never imagined that a significant chunk of these troubles would vanish in just an afternoon. Despite my initial hesitation to seek help due to my belief that I had unique ways to tackle these issues, such as seeking sponsorships or working harder on my videos, I was utterly unprepared for the overwhelming generosity I’ve been shown once I finally reached out.

Zullie admits that the sensation is complex since they’ve often felt embarrassed about causing any minor inconvenience to others. However, they come to realize that enduring in silence despite the discomfort was still a form of suffering. Moreover, they express their gratitude and struggle to articulate their current emotions, which are overwhelming.
