How to play multiplayer in Elden Ring
There are three ways to experience multiplayer in Elden Ring:
You write messages using theTarnished’s Wizened Finger, which is the very first item you will find in Elden Ring. You cannot leave the starting room without taking this finger, so it’s safe to say that everyone will have it in their inventory. These messages could be used to guide or trick players, or just offer information that you think is important.
To play coop or duel other players, you must interact with summoning signs. To see summoning signs around the world, you must use theFurlcalling Finger Remedy, which is a craftable item that you make with 2 Erdleaf Flowers, a very common ingredient found throughout the Lands Between. You can also activate Summoning Pools, typically found near boss encounters, to find summoning signs that players have left.
How to join another player in Elden Ring
To play coop in Elden Ring, you need to use either theSmall Golden Effigyor theTarnished’s Furled Finger. The Tarnished’s Furled Finger is an item that you can use to create a gold coop summoning sign, which other players can then find and interact with to summon you into their world for help.
The Tarnished’s Furled Finger is found on a corpse near the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace, in the room with the Imp Seal. This will also give you the Finger Severer, which we mention later on in this guide.
While playing in coop, other players can invade your world as a bloody finger to fight you and your allies, so make sure you have thebest weaponsin Elden Ring equipped.
How to duel another player in Elden Ring
If you’d rather fight other players, you can hop into Elden Ring’s competitive multiplayer. To do this, you need to use either theSmall Red Effigyor theDuelist’s Furled Finger. These act in a very similar way to the items above.
How to invade another player in Elden Ring
If you want to surprise another player, you could also use aFestering Bloody Finger. These are rare one-time use items that you can find around the Lands Between that allow you to invade other players without being summoned. When you reachLiurniaof the Lakes, you can go to the Rose Church to get aBloody FingerorRecusant Finger, which are essentially permanent versions of the same item with slightly different lore.
Usually, players can only invade a world in which the host is playing coop, meaning they’ll usually have backup. However, those of you who want the thrill of invasions while playing solo need to use theTaunter’s Tongue. This allows other players to invade your world at any time, even when playing solo, while also decreasing the time between invasions.
For some extra help during invasions, head to the Roundtable Hold and buy theWhite Cipher RingandBlue Cipher Ringfrom the Twin Maiden Husks, pictured above. If you wear the White Cipher Ring, it will instantly request help from a fellow player who is wearing the Blue Cipher Ring when an enemy invades your game.
