One startlingElden Ringvideo shows an invader killing the host player using an unknown glitch. In the world ofElden Ring, nothing is certain. From its vast and dangerous landscapes to its mysterious lore, players must navigate a world where even the slightest misstep can lead to their untimely demise. The game world is full of countless enemies and hundreds of horrifying bosses that force players to always be on their toes.
Furthermore,Elden Ringplayers also need to be on the lookout for invading gamers who can appear randomly at times with the sole purpose of killing the host. The battles betweenElden Ringinvaders and hosts can be nerve-wracking as each party wants to win and uses innovative techniques to get the better of their opponent. SomeElden Ringgamers rarely use technical bugs or hacking to win a PvP fight, giving their characters unreal abilities or becoming completely damage resistant.

The incident occurred during amultiplayer session ofElden Ring, where players can invade each other’s games and fight to the death. Reddit user VarangianBabe uploaded a video on theElden Ringsubreddit, which shows the entire encounter. The user is standing on a building’s roof when they’re invaded by a player who goes by the suspicious name “Glitch Tester.” VarangianBabe approaches the invader and uses the wave gesture to signal them but still stays at a safe distance.
However, the opponent ignores the host and their waving and swings their sword in empty space multiple times. Suddenly, the invader performs a devastating attack that looks very similar to the Corpse Piler skill fromElden Ring. Shockingly, it connects, despite the massive gap between the two players, and the host falls off the building and dies gruesomely. Some players have suggested that the glitch may be related to the game’s coding, as there have been reports of other glitches andbugs inElden Ringthat have caused similar issues.
Regardless of its origins, the glitch has sparked adebate amongElden Ringplayersabout the fairness and ethics of using exploits in multiplayer games. While some argue that it’s simply a part of the game and that players should be free to use any means necessary to win, others believe that it ruins the integrity of online gaming and takes away from the thrill of a fair fight.
