One solo Elden Ring gamer is setting an example of how to manage the ideal intrusion– and by golly, if they aren’t simply the hero we require in Soulslike video games.
Elden Ring, like other video games in the Soulsbourne series, is difficult addressing the very best of times. Include intrusions– where gamers can slip into your video game and murder you while you’re sidetracked combating the AI opponents–, and Elden Ring can go from intimidating, to a quick ‘nope!’ quite quick. Seeing this Redditor take pity on newbies to the video game has actually warmed the cockles of my grizzled old heart.
u/VeraKorradin(opens in brand-new tab) shared their wholesome technique to Elden Ring invasions over on the video game’s subreddit. The post’s title states all of it: “Invading to eliminate top-level summons … Yes! Getting into to eliminate really brand-new individuals which can destroy their very first experience in Elden Ring … No! As an intruder, we can be cocks, it’s our task, however never ever to avoid individuals away.”
They follow up their important PSA with a video demonstrating how occasions played out for them when getting into in this precise circumstance.

Doing it ideal
The gameplay video reveals them beating the summon, at which point, the invadee turns tail and runs. The kind-hearted Redditor (after a lot of gesticulating) encourages them to come back and presents them a Hero’s Rune. The text overlay checks out:
” Most intrusions have a top-level summon and battling them is the enjoyable part. After beating top-level summons, and viewing the host run, I do not desire brand-new gamers to have a bad ‘very first [Elden Ring] experience.
” Invaders can be cocks. We do not wan na avoid anybody away from [Elden Ring].”
And then off VeraKorradin appears a cloud of fairy dust and sprays. Metaphorical ones. It’s genuinely what their exit should have to be accompanied by.
I’m not a hardcore Souls gamer by any methods; the video games are a slog that I understand complete well I will not make it through. Jeez, is it ever irritating when you’re attempting to get to merely endure and some leapt up little git with something to show pops in.
Of course, it’s all part of the video game, however like VeraKorradin in the video mentions, you do not need to destroy another person’s great time. And they’re not the only one (not) combating the excellent battle. A couple of commenters are likewise providing more recent gamers a break.
” As intruders, we do get to choose,” states u/Snoo61755(opens in brand-new tab) “It is simply part of the video game, however in some cases you can inform if somebody’s going to be especially held up, or isn’t a match in the very first location. I do not desire intrusions to be cluttered by ‘codes of honor’ or anything, however it’s great to acknowledge when somebody’s simply having a bumpy ride.”
I definitely disliked intrusions in Dark Souls 3 ‘Hi, hi, welcome. Plainly I am outmatched and simply attempting to enjoy myself for a night. Your character appears like it’s simply done a triumph lap at every cosplay convention going; my own appears like it fell under a stack of stained laundry and presented using whatever stuck. I am plainly not down for any of this.’
In the lack of heroes like the ones from Reddit, I drew on my ace in the hole: time. Time to take out a white branch and flawlessly mix into my environments. Time to enjoy you run around aimlessly up until that rock-hard willpower turns limp. Till it’s time for you to leave empty-handed and discover another person to intimidate for a sense of recognition.
If you’re minor sufficient to choose to beat the snot out of a lowly, dirty undead like me, I can make the time to return the favor.
I do not understand where all the wholesome gamers were at that time, however I’m pleased they’re out completely force for Elden Ring. Even if I’m sitting this one out.
