How To Invade In Elden Ring

Elden Ring is one of the most popular games in the entire world. This particular title won many awards throughout 2022 due to the varied battle systems, the lore, and the fact that it is an open-world game with a lot of depth. There are a lot of different reasons why players all over the world have decided to pick up Elden Ring.

One of the reasons players do so is because of the PvP system in the game. With the most recent Colosseum update, Elden Ring's PvP has expanded and is better than ever. But we are not here to talk about the Colosseum update. Here, we will teach you the basics of how to invade other players in Elden Ring.

How Do I Invade In Elden Ring?

As you might have guessed, Invading is an online PvP system that FromSoftware often uses in their games. You Invade another player's world in an attempt to kill them. To do this, you need to make sure you are playing online mode in Elden Ring. If you are offline, you cannot Invade other players.

The next thing you need is one of two items to Invade other players. You will need either a Festering Bloody Finger or a Bloody Finger. You will use either item in your inventory and you will attempt to Invade another player. If you can successfully find another player in the area you are currently in, you will Invade their world and can attempt to kill them.

There are a couple of different parameters that you need to consider when it comes to Invading in Elden Ring. When you are Invading another player, you will often be matched up with players that are a similar level to you. There are some circumstances where you will Invade players much higher or lower level than you, but these are rare.

Also, if you die while Invading another player, you will lose your Runes. But do not worry; they will be back in your world for you to pick up near the spot where you died. PvP is pretty complex in Elden Ring, but it will take some time to get used to. The rewards you get for Invading are pretty good, so it might be worth it to take some downtime to Invade other players in Elden Ring.
