The guide below will reveal the main features of the joint pleasant and aggressive pastime in the vast expanses of the open world.

Long and bloody battles, cooperative exploration of the world or killing another boss with friends – each of these actions can be implemented literally at the click of a finger.

Also, the ability to set a password will be a great addition to the multiplayer component of the game , which will prioritize viewing messages, summon marks, bloodstains, ghosts, and other items from players who use a similar combination of numbers and letters in the code.

Without this item, moving to the “alien” world through the mark from the Extinguished Finger will be unavailable.

PvP-mode in Elden Ring

Elden Ring multiplayer: co-op and PvP mode

Aggressive intrusion into the world of another user is no different from a friendly co-op passage of the game. To activate the PvP mode, you need a multiplayer item called “Duelist's Gnarled Finger” to form a red mark on the ground.

Thus, as soon as the other a player using a network connection to Elden Ring will notice it, they can use “Summoning Finger Potion” and go to the new world to fight the daredevil.

In fact, fans of PvP mode are by default limited to the cooperative component of the game, so sudden or, on the contrary, planned fights can turn into tough and long battles< in a matter of seconds< /strong>.

To balance this situation, the developers have introduced a special item into the game – Bloody Finger. It can be used up to 10 times, and it allows those who wish to fray their (and other people's) nerves to quickly teleport to the target or, conversely, to “bounce” from it with lightning speed, for example, if the situation has escalated to the limit.
