Elden Ring - Multiplayer - Giant Goblin Sorcerer & Bloodfingers #4 in Limgrave
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. (Wikipedia)
Since this is about the co-op multiplayer mode in Elden Ring, I will be including this quote of information about the game feature here:
[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.
My friend and I travel down to Limgrave's Weeping Peninsula and I help them out against a giant goblin sorcerer and its little minions.
My friend has a giant ballista which looked really cool. I noticed that a lot of the little ogblins kept ignoring me and targeting him probably because he was the Host of Fingers.
After all the small goblins are destroyed, my friend defeats the giant goblin sorcerer and I think he said he earned an item of some kind.
We hop up a cliff toward a church to find a Site of Grace but get interrupted by a giant flower monster that can cast magic. I burn it with Black Flames incantations and my friend hacks at it like a weed-whacker.
We find the spot and then get the lovely red banner that we'd just been invaded and try to take them on.
I launch a series of giant fire balls from the incantation Flame of the Fell God which is very effective and then decided to experiment a little -- HUGE mistake.
My Flame Frenzy misses the invader by a lot and they hide behind a pillar where they get the chance to heal and start doing some heavy attacks on my friend. I try to get with my melee sword but they dodge around a lot and manage to kill not just my friend but me as well ...
That was a painful loss which I felt hugely responsible for. If I'd just kept casting that huge area-of-effect giant fire ball the explosions and burn damage would've made it very difficult for the invader to hide and heal themselves -- but unfortunately I experimented at a time which required consistency.
Hope you enjoyed this video and feel free to leave comments below!
