Many still hold the belief that Elden Ring is a relatively independent game for players, and its high difficulty mainly comes from the boss battles. However, sometimes few realize that the lurking danger does not lie in the difficulty of the final bosses in the game, but rather from the other players themselves. Don’t forget that the online feature has become a new hallmark of boss-centric games in recent years, and Elden Ring is no exception. However, what it brings seems to be causing quite a headache for many.
Recently, the Elden Ring gaming community was shaken by news of the emergence of a gang that specializes in “game wrecking” within Elden Ring. Their method is relatively simple; they invade the worlds of other players, then use invisibility magic to lurk and wait for the opportunity to take them down in a devastating manner. A video released online shows that the number of victims is no small number.
Indeed, this kind of camouflage is very hard for victims to detect. According to reports from numerous victims, right after defeating a boss, they would often be ambushed by these assassins, who then steal all the rewards from the battle. Many newbies, new players were extremely disappointed and even thought the game was glitching, not understanding what was happening until they read this accusatory post. In reality, it is also hard for anyone to pay attention to such details, especially when just the act of dodging and attacking the boss’s skills requires so much focus.
Of course, players also have countermeasures when facing such blatant invasions. One of the simplest yet somewhat crude methods is to play the game in offline mode. Moreover, in Dark Souls, when other players are invaded, there is an item that activates the system to automatically summon other players to help you fend off the bad guys. This is also a feature that Elden Ring could consider.
