Elden Ring allows you to fight in the company of friends, but also to invade the world of other users and fight duels to the death. We tell you how it works.
We all know that Elden Ring is a difficult video game, as is usual in the works of From Software. However, we always have one option to make things easier: take advantage of the multiplayer and fight side by side with our friends. And if what you want is a challenge, you can also become a dark wraith and invade another player’s game with the intention of finishing him off and keeping his runes. In this piece of our complete guide we tell you how to play online .
Elden Ring multiplayer: how to play cooperative mode?
- Leave a sign of cooperation: You can offer to help other users in dungeons or final bosses (the reward for winning is half the number of runes the player hosting the match gets). You can leave unlimited signs using the Bent Finger of Lightless , an item you get during the prologue on a corpse, just before exiting into the open world that is part of the linear path.
- Summon an Allied Player – If you want to enlist the help of other players, you need to use the Bent Finger Remedyconsumable item . It can be purchased from various merchants you encounter while exploring the world, though it is much quicker to use the crafting menu, as the necessary materials are often easily found. Using this item reveals signs of cooperation left by other players .
Create a private game
Although there is no such mode, the game allows us to establish a password to be matched with any player who uses the same . If you want to fight in the company of a friend, agree to put the same password and in a matter of seconds you will be able to see your summon symbols. It is the only way to be sure that you will see the signal of the other person you want to play with.
How to play competitive mode?
The competitive mode or PvP consists of being the one who invades the world of other users. If you do, your only objective will be to find him in the immediate vicinity of the area and finish him off. If you manage to lower the duel, you will get a good amount of runes. In case of losing, you will be returned to your world immediately.
To invade a random world you must use the Infested Bloody Finger item (given to you by the first NPC you meet upon reaching the open world). You can also leave a symbol so that another player decides to summon you to fight a duel to the death. You can do this with the Duelist’s Bent Finger that you pick up from a corpse in the colosseum located in the northern part of the Necrolimbo. In case you want to see the PvP signs of other users, you also need to previously use the Bent Finger of Lightless to reveal them.
