Elden Ring

Co-op is built into the DNA of soulsborne titles, and Elden Ring is no different. Here's everything you need to know about co-op in the game.

If gamers don’t want to help other Elden Ring players explore the Lands Between and would rather act as an emergency PvP shield, they can sign up to be Hunters and only aid a Host of Fingers when invaded. If you want help in a dungeon or when setting out from a Site of Grace, you don’t need to seek out Summon Signs. Instead, you can find Summoning Pools at the beginning of optional dungeons, dotted throughout Legacy Dungeons, and near Elden Ring’s bonfire analogues. Like Summon Signs, you have to interact with a Martyr Effigy, but this time, you need to scroll through a list of gamers before you can summon one. Elden Ring primarily follows this system but with some alterations to ease — or accentuate — the pain of PvP. Multiplayer in Elden Ring hinges on items known as Fingers. In order to actually start, players need a Furlcalling Finger Remedy (which can be crafted with Erdleaf Flowers) to reveal Summon Signs. Simply interact with a sign to summon another player into your world, but pay close attention to its color. Looting the aforementioned corpse also nets you the Finger Severer, which lets you de-summon allies and duelists (but not invaders), as well as un-summon yourself while another player acts as the host. Gamers can write messages to warn others of hidden dangers, notify them of secret treasures, or just troll people. As with other Soulsbornes, you need specific items to initiate the team up. Here’s everything you need to know about co-op in the game. When they type the password into their game, they can join you and vice versa. If not, you don’t have to worry about random invasions, but you can’t call for help, either. Conversely, competitive players can follow another Soulsborne tradition and invade other gamers’ worlds and attack hosts as they please.
