A dastardly Elden Ring invader managed to defeat rival players by calling a powerful Runebear to their aid.

Multiplayer in FromSoftware games can often lead to unique and humorous moments, like an Elden Ring waving death fall or a brutal Runebear attack.
Elden Ring features a similar multiplayer system to Dark Souls and Bloodborne, allowing players to use special items to trigger online interactions. Players in need of aid can summon other Tarnished players to their world, allowing the two adventurers to work together in order to defeat one of The Lands Between's powerful bosses.

These multiplayer interactions can lead to amazing moments, like an Elden Ring player who quits PvP after their opponent pulled off an extremely impressive parry.
