Elden Ring | Co-Op Mode | Limgrave Bloodyfingers #1

This is a clip from my gameplay footage of 2022's popular video game "Elden Ring" on Playstation 4.

If you're unfamiliar with "Elden Ring", here's some quick info:

[GAMEPLAY]
In Elden Ring, players control a customizable player character on a journey to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. The game is presented through a third-person perspective, with players freely roaming its interactive open world. Gameplay elements include combat using several types of weapons and magic spells, horseback riding, and crafting. (Wikipedia)

[STORY]
Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a fictional landmass ruled over by several demigods. It was previously ruled over by the immortal Queen Marika, who acted as keeper of the Elden Ring, a powerful force that manifested as the physical concept of order. When Marika eventually shattered the Elden Ring and disappeared, her demigod children began warring over pieces of the Ring in an event called the Shattering. Each demigod possesses a shard of the Ring called a Great Rune, which corrupts them with power. In the game, the player character is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles from the Lands Between who are summoned back after the Shattering. As one of the Tarnished, the player must traverse the realm to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord. (Wikipedia)

• Since this is about the co-op multiplayer mode in Elden Ring, I will be including this quote of information about the game feature here:

[MULTIPLAYER]
Elden Ring has a multiplayer system that allows players to be summoned for both cooperative and player versus player (PvP) play over the Internet.[20] Cooperative play involves the placing of a Summon Sign on the ground, which causes the sign to appear in front of online players. If another player interacts with the sign, they are transported into the game area of whoever placed it down. Cooperative players remain in the same world until the boss of the area is defeated, or until a summoned player dies and is sent back to their home world. PvP combat involves using a Summon Sign to directly challenge another player to a duel, or using an item called the Bloody Finger to invade the worlds of others.

• My friend and I were in Limgrave exploring a dungeon near the lake in Limgrave on our way to fight Flying Dragon Agheel when another player/Bloodyfinger invaded our world.

• At first we waited down in the dungeon a minute for them but they didn't come down.

• When we got tired of waiting we saw that they were at the top of the stairs leading out.

• Whoever they were just sat there and when we finally approached slowly and waved they unequipped their weapons.

• Sometimes in online games, other players will wait to let you set up your buffs or they'll gesture that they only want to fight one of us.

• The other player crouched and faced my friend so I pointed at my friend with a gesture to show that I understood.

• Backing away to let the two of them fight, I tried to get a better angle and watched as the other guy unequipped all his armor just as he and my friend had got close enough to fight.

• It was rather bizarre to see someone just strip off all their equipment during a duel and we stood there confused as to what exactly had happened.

• Looking back at it, we've come to the conclusion that maybe they wanted to naked brawl with no weapons or equipment which makes sense since they seemed focused on my friend who's a melee build. I wouldn't have put up much of a fight as a mage class due to very little of my runes going into the Strength stat.
