Elden Ring Player Meets Helpful Invader

Elden Ring carries over the invasion/summoning based multiplayer mechanics found in other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls. The game's multiplayer and PvP work by using in-game items which allow players to invade other players' worlds, or see summon signs for other players and NPCs who can help with boss fights or difficult areas. The trade-off to using these items is that players are left open to being invaded by enemy players who will receive rewards for killing them. Although not everyone is using this mechanic the way it's meant to be used.
