To rid the Lands Between of AFK farmers, Elden Ring’s most patient player hid in a bush for over three hours. FromSoftware’s Elden Ring features a PvP and invasion system that lets Tarnished invade other players’ game worlds and allows hosts to summon hunters to the Lands Between. Opting in to Elden Ring’s PvP can add to the experience, bringing new challenges and a variety of encounters into the equation. That said, some have exploited the PvP function for easy rewards.
Summoning PvP partners in Elden Ring is fairly simple since players only have to use a Duelist’s Furled Finger or a Small Red Effigy to opt-in to battles. The invader’s goal is to kill the Host, while the Host is tasked with either escaping the hunter or defeating them in combat. Elden Ring has other PvP features that can drastically change the tide of battle, such as the White Cipher Ring, which calls other players to the host’s aid. These systems serve to enhance the gameplay experience, creating an in-depth PvP mechanic. The reward for surviving PvP encounters is runes, which act as the game’s experience points and currency for merchants throughout the Lands Between. While many players attempt to play fair when entering PvP battles, some use trickery to gain runes without lifting a finger.
