AnElden Ringgamer’s attempt to ambush a host quickly becomes a disaster.Elden Ringrecently won the Game of The Year award at The Game Awards, with the most praise for its story, gameplay, and interactive open world. While everyone admiresElden Ring’s story mode, its multiplayer mode is also considered very enjoyable. The multiplayer mode allows gamers to test their skills against fellowElden Ringplayers and see how their build compares to others.
Elden Ringplayers have the option to summon other gamers during boss fights, leading to a fun experience with their friends. On the other hand, manyElden Ringgamers prefer the PvP action, where they can invade the world of another player to kill them, gaining access to their runes and equipment. Sometimes,Elden Ringinvasions don’t go as planned, as one gamer found out.

Reddit user BeejBeachBall shared a clip on theElden Ringsubreddit showing their attempt to invade another world. The video shows them trying to ambush the host while waiting for them in acatacomb inElden Ring. Like most dungeons, this particular area inElden Ringis infested with fire traps that release a barrage of deadly flames at regular intervals. The invader has carefully positioned themselves in a small gap, so they’re safe from the fire traps and hidden from the eyes of the host.
The user hears the host approaching their location when they prepare for an attack, but their plans are soon foiled. As BeejBeachBall steps out of the gap toassault the host inElden Ring, the fire trap gets activated at the precise moment. As a result, they get caught in the deadly blaze of the fire trap, dying instantly in a gruesome way. What’s more disheartening about this failed invasion is that not only the user died from an in-game hazard, but the host and their accomplice were unharmed from the entire ordeal.
BeejBeachBall’s video is another example that shows the unexpected nature ofElden Ringinvasions. Players can never know what to expect when invading another world, as the host might be highly overpowered or under-leveled. Other times,Elden Ringgamers use innovative techniques to vanquish their opponents in PvP battles. OneElden Ringplayer tricked an invaderinto falling off a cliff, while another host used Rya to escape a battle.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
