Elden Ring - Multiplayer - Limgrave Bloodyfinger #2
This is a clip from my gameplay footage of 2022's popular video game "Elden Ring" on Playstation 4.
If you're unfamiliar with "Elden Ring", here's some quick info:
[GAMEPLAY]
"In Elden Ring, players control a customizable player character on a journey to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. The game is presented through a third-person perspective, with players freely roaming its interactive open world. Gameplay elements include combat using several types of weapons and magic spells, horseback riding, and crafting." (Wikipedia)
[STORY]
"Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a fictional landmass ruled over by several demigods. It was previously ruled over by the immortal Queen Marika, who acted as keeper of the Elden Ring, a powerful force that manifested as the physical concept of order. When Marika eventually shattered the Elden Ring and disappeared, her demigod children began warring over pieces of the Ring in an event called the Shattering. Each demigod possesses a shard of the Ring called a Great Rune, which corrupts them with power. In the game, the player character is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles from the Lands Between who are summoned back after the Shattering. As one of the Tarnished, the player must traverse the realm to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord."

[MULTIPLAYER]
"Elden Ring has a multiplayer system that allows players to be summoned for both cooperative and player versus player (PvP) play over the Internet.[20] Cooperative play involves the placing of a Summon Sign on the ground, which causes the sign to appear in front of online players. If another player interacts with the sign, they are transported into the game area of whoever placed it down. Cooperative players remain in the same world until the boss of the area is defeated, or until a summoned player dies and is sent back to their home world. PvP combat involves using a Summon Sign to directly challenge another player to a duel, or using an item called the Bloody Finger to invade the worlds of others."

This video's not very long at all -- less than a minute.
Another invader enters our multiplayer world on our way to Limgrave's Flying Dragon Agheel so we wait by the edge of the lake for them to show up.
Surprisingly they approach us from the direction of the dragon and have two big swords.
Unsure of this invading player's play style, I ask my friend if they're rushing us or not and he says yes. I try to lock-on but my target system instead latches onto a nearby dragonfly sending my camera for a quick spin.
By the time I lock on to the approaching Bloodyfinger, I get a fire arrow off and then send some Lightning Spear support while whoever they are fights my friend.
Since my friend's the host, I think that Bloodfinger invaders target him because I think killing a host results in more runes for them.
I get one Lightning Spear off but I think my friend kills the invader before my last Lightning Spear even lands.
There's a tiny voice in the back of my head that says my flaming arrow was a hostile action and that I should've waited to see what the invader would do ... but now I'll never know. Next time I promise to be more patient.
Hopey you enjoyed this short post!
