The Entreterre alone is pretty cool, but two is much better. If you want to experience Elden Ring in multiplayer and co-op, we have prepared a short guide for you.
[Mis à jour le 25 février 2022 à 13h00] The press is abuzz over what might just be one of the best games of all time. Elden Ring offers us an incredible adventure, mixing beautiful and sinister art direction with ruthless gameplay. Only here, if the new game from From Software is defined as an action-RPG in the open world and in solo, it also offers all adventurers the possibility of discovering its universe with several people, and this up to four players. Only, like any self-respecting From Software game, Elden Ring has a very special way of playing with friends, which, even if it has never been so easy, remains quite unique. We explain how to do it.
Invite a player to Elden Ring
If in Dark Souls 3 you had to systematically consume an ember in order to play in cooperation, Elden Ring seems to be a little more tolerant on this side. If you want to invite a friend to your world, you will, as always, need to use a consumable item called the “Crooked Finger Remedy” (official translation coming soon). No more needing your character to be statused before using it, which makes co-op play in Elden Ring much easier. The “Changing Finger Remedy” can be crafted using two Erdleaf Flowers which can be found very easily in the first area of the game. You get the recipe for this item from Kale Merchant in the Church of ‘Sheh. So it is very easy to craft this summoning tool. Before using it, make sure your friends are in the same area of the game in their respective games, and consume the item. It will allow you to see the summoning signs on the ground. Gold summon signs will allow you to summon a player for co-op play, while red signs will summon a hostile player to invade your game.
Join a player in Elden Ring
Conversely, if you want to join another player’s game, you just need to use a hooked finger. There are two of them and they are infinitely reusable. Shardless’ hooked finger will leave a golden summon sign on the ground for other players to summon you to co-op, while Duelist’s hooked finger will leave a hostile summon sign to be summoned to invade the game. another player. Attention, as always in From Software games, cooperation and PvP are subject to restrictions. You will not be able to summon or be invaded if you have already defeated the boss of an area for example, and some areas and dungeons do not allow multiplayer interactions. If you die, your ally will disappear from the area.
If you want to reserve this kind of interaction for your friends only, you just need to set up a password in the network menu of your game. Players with the same password as you will be able to see your signs and vice versa. A system similar to Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.
Multiplayer Items in Elden Ring
Of course, there are other PvP-related items:
- The Finger Cutter: chooses a summoned player and sends them back to their world
- The Blue Cipher Ring: Once activated, this ring gives you the opportunity to help other players, and you will automatically be summoned to their rescue if their game has been invaded by a hostile player.
- The White Encryption Ring: This ring is used to automatically summon an allied player in the event of an invasion of your world.
- The Bloodfinger: gives you the opportunity to hostilely invade another player’s game
- The Taunting Tongue: encourages hostile players to invade your world
- The Golden Effigy: places a nearby co-op summon sign in your co-op selection
- The Red Effigy: places a nearby competition summon sign in your competition selection
