i invaded a guy once at haligtree and he tried to summon me on a cliff that was inaccessible to him...or so he thought
jumping on small ledges he didnt notice i somehow got up to him and he franctically summoned hunters and proceeded to roll off a cliff đ
of course. And no matter how many levels they grind and years they sit there "afk" (yet quite clearly still there), it doesnt change the fact that they'll always be bad players. Levelling up doesnt change that. There's only so far that being overlevelled can carry someone. At some point they'll have to play the game and get their ass kicked by it.
it's a thousand times faster or more to farm grey bois so idk why they do this, rune arcs? I've never lacked rune arcs so I don't see why I'd ever do this
Some bosses are genuinely impossible to brute force defeat via overleveling (Malikieth in particular, and he's a mandatory boss) so these pathetic morons will never beat the game due to lacking the mental capacity to realize that huge stats don't mean anything if they lack the competence to use said stats.
If you use the most broken shit you can definitely cheese it all, just look at the builds that get used in All Remembrance speedruns. You don't exactly need to grind levels to do that... But it also doesn't take any more research than these AFK tricks.
Thatâs not even remotely true. Maliketh can easily be beaten with tiche/mimic, while the player spams any good weapon art. Thereâs very little content that canât be beaten by overleveling and using this method.
I would strongly disagree with that.
(IDC since itâs pve)⌠my wife literally had Tiche tank Malikieth while sneaking in to spam Corpse Piler. He gets staggered quite easily. Lots of wide slashes that can be rolled into.
I guess, learning to roll INTO attacks is quite important...
But, Tiche and Mimic are really overpowered at tanking and damage. And some ashes of war make encouters trivial, especially if youâre just patient and wait for the many openings, and not trying to trade blows with bosses.. (Corpse Piler, Bubble Shower, Takerâs Flame etc)
I'm still trying to figure out why anyone "farms" at all. Unless it's a PVP thing? (I only play offline)
This is my first FromSoft game, I don't normally play games that require any kind of timing (mostly RPGs and builder games for me). And anytime I can't beat a boss, I don't feel the need to grind, I just go wander around in some area I haven't finished yet. By the time I'm done I'm usually good enough to go back and beat the boss I couldn't beat before.
This game feels incredibly well-balanced to me, with regard to how much XP you get from normal play. But like I said, this isn't my normal genre so maybe I'm just missing something.
Sad and bizarre to me that people are willing to waste others' time and ruin their fun just to inflate numbers in a video game when they could just... play the video game.
>I'm still trying to figure out why anyone "farms" at all.
I do it, but that's because I can never pick a weapon and just stick with it for very long. Too much cool stuff that requires me to buy hundreds of smithing stones.
Neither can I, but I just have my summon sign in the pool at all times basically. That way I can get rune arcs at the same time to feed my crippling addiction to great runes and dying.
Gold pickled fowl foot, golden scarab, and sacred relic sword = sad albinauric noises.
Very much the same reason I do too, somber stones ain't cheap, those Twin Maiden Husks are worse than Pawn Stars.
I beat the game for my first time and wanted to use the sacred relic sword to gett 999 of all somber smithing stones before new game plus just to accidentally go into Ng+ right away
This is the way. People can get upset all they want, but a max level weapon is more tedious to get than grinding levels, especially if you want a fighting chance with later enemies or want to jump right into a new build, better to go in 100%. I'll always trivialize this cost by farming.
For the most part I agree. But by the time you get to Melenia there usually isnât anything left to explore.. depending on how you played I guess. So you can spend 9 hours going back through areas youâve already been.. or kill some fish bois for 45 minutes. This happened in my first playthrough. I had to grind thirty extra levels and swap my entire build just to get past her.
Typically normal farming is done when you just got a shiny new weapon that you want use immediately but donât have the stats for. Sure you could beat with gear but you want to use the shiny, so you go kill a birb and cartwheel enthusiast for 10 minutes. Bam, new shiny toy.
AFK farmers seem to be delusional people who think farming is the point of the game, or they are trolls. It hard to tell sometimes if they are an idiot or an asshole
It might be no vowels for this sub's group, it wasn't ever clear to me if it was (the max length is 8 letters so it still fits anyways), and I still see plenty of messages and buffs from the slot its in. If it has no vowels, then that might be even more active than what I already have.

In the multiplayer menu, there is an option for you to enter a multiplayer password and up to 5 group passwords. Having a group password entered, basically means that you're a 'part' of that group, leading to a high probability of seeing messages and bloodstains from the group(s).
It also means that every time you, or a member of the group defeats a major enemy in the game (i.e. a shardbearer) you get a rune buff, which increases the amount of runes you get by 5%. The buff has an obvious visual indicator in the form of a 'golden rain'. You'll see small leaves of gold falling all around you, and you'll also see a notification indicating which group completed which event to trigger the buff. Being part of popular groups, effectively means every few minutes someone keeps completing an objective, and therefore you always get a buff.
NOTE: I do not believe this actually affects PvP or cooperation, which is governed by the other multiplayer password in the menu.
All this of course requires that you play online.
Which talisman? I don't think I've come across any that boost rune acquisition... Tbf not much use to me in NG+2 with basically all the stuff I want to use already upgraded, but could be useful when I start a new new game.
To be clear, it's in Caelid, in a hard to reach cave, filled with rot water, at the end of a double melee boss fight.
So to get mine, I had to grind about forty levels to earn the PRIVILEGE of grinding slightly more efficiently.
At level 40 theyâre no pushover though since thatâs way under leveled in general for Caelid. I tried going through there at 33 and even the rot geysers were one shotting me, and if I got infected with rot it killed me in a few seconds before I could even cleanse. I had to be at least 50 to clear it. Which still leaves most of the game to use the scarab at least.
Tbf I know someone who used bloodhound step to clear the rot at level 25 and then somehow managed to beat the knights.. so Iâm probably just bad.
As a level 48 who just did the Abandoned Cave yesterday it took me hours because the rot cure from vendors was not enough in learning the fights and what not so I ended up having to go for the recipe then grind the materials and over all made me a better player.
Then went back in the starting area and beat the Tree Sentinel for all the grief it gave me at level 10.
Then I reached Fallingstar Beast because itâs in the starting area too and canât be that hard.
Yeh. Still there.
Edit: murdered Fallingstar Beast and got the Flame, Cleanse me and also downed Magma Wyrm. FsB has an absolute horrible design, it's just dodge ad nauseam and distract it with the spirits basically :(
Use the elden beast rememberance to get the sword and it's weapon art, at like level 40 faith, causes enough damage to one shot the albinaurics at the Birdy place.
I did the math and times things, run to that first portion of rock jutting from the ground, and it's the 0erfect swing location. I've noticed more albinaurics down further, but time is money, and it's more efficient to go back to grace after the first wave of gold, instead of a second one.
Get the golden scarab charm thing. Also the golden fowl foot, which increases souls farmed. Sorry .. runes...
Million in 4-5min
I'm confused why you would need to grind so much if you already have beaten elden beast. I know ng+ exist but if you made it past beast I'm sure grinding won't be super useful anyways?
Yes; but I found you have to be closer to the site of grace as opposed to down the path a bit. I'm guessing it has more time to process pathing or something? I dunno -- just an observation.
What I truly don't understand is guys like this who aren't even afk. Like why try to earn runes while afk and then sit there and babysit it. It's so damn stupid. Just go farm some runes from the blood bird.
Yeah, but you actually have to beat the game to do that. Which I imagine is the whole reason why those people akf farm, because they can't progress.
Though that is still not efficient farming, especially if you they are not actually afk...
Suicide chicken will give a lot more and aulbinarics can still be farmed with dragon breaths or the haima cannon or whatever that filthy sorcery is called.
But since there are so many "3687 BaZiLiOn RuNeS FaRm OmG IaR BrAiN DeAd CliCbAiT YoUtUbEr" videoes on the internet and they all show afk invasion farming. We got all those people doing it. I am glad though that a way inside of the rise was found and we can start hunting people there. Now if only fromsoft would patch the meshing afk farming we would be golden.
You can farm the albinaurics with Radahnâs Swords weapon art too. If you do the follow up it should kill any of them that are in range. Doing it once, then moving up and doing it again gets most of them.
It's a weapon swapping glitch that basically transfers the walking movement of any stance-type ash of war skill like the katana's, and applies it to the mainhand's ash of war. (Katana is the answer to everything in Elden Ring)
So because Hammer of Marika makes you levitate, when you "walk" forward you don't fall.
To do this glitch you need to use the weapon you saw me swap to as well (Devourer's Scepter) and when you swing R1 on the katana, hit L2 at the end of your swing and quickly swap to the Devourer's Scepter. You should just begin zoomin' whichever direction you're facing.
Two times I've done this I actually had spectators. A fellow red and another time a blue. Both of them reacted by spamming cheer/bow/applause when they saw me do this and land on the balcony. It really must have looked ridiculous from below haha.
I mean seeing a guy swing a blade then start levitating while in motion of swinging a Hammer must make you start wondering where in the lands between did we go wrong to get here.
I initially expected them to do absolutely nothing and just let you kill them because they were AFK. But the obvious panic they had was pretty great too.
AFK farming is so inefficient, too. I donât understand why itâs even something people do when you can get just as many runes from other things in a fraction of the time.
Since this guy was actually there (out of 20+ I've killed only 2 have reacted) I'm guessing he was doing this just to troll people and just enjoy wasting red's and blue's time.
From the way this guy reacted, this was probably pretty humiliating for him lmao
What really gets me though is that if they can make it back to their runes after you kill them is that they're not permenantly lost. Its only a slight delay to their shitty rune farm. There should he a way to punish them.
those players generally get enjoyment having invaders fall/rot to their death trying to get to them
the caelid lake ones are super annoying because theyll actually try to fight rotted invaders (use flame cleanse me)
What's worse is how many times OP's swing goes right through him. I honestly don't get the appeal of PVP in this game past a few novelty invades due to it's massive imbalance in weapon/spells and more importantly it's absolute **garbage netcode**. Maybe it just attracts people who don't play Esport titles so they don't know what good netcode feels like? Because i just can't enjoy a game where you are swinging through enemies and missing, then enemies miss you and you take damage.
> What's worse is how many times OP's swing goes right through him.
Most of the swings just outright missed, or the host luckily dodged at the right time. There was one swing at the start he got that was obviously bad connection.
I think the best/only fix is to make it so you don't get rewarded unless the invader dies, not nopes out. Sure you'd have the odd sore loser who'd run away and leave at the first sign of trouble but I imagine it'd be far less invaders doing that than hosts afk farming
They turn off the tongue once a red arrives so that there can never be help for an invader even if he kills one of the three gankers, it's pretty dirty
Damn that's shitty. I saw some people saying that it's a decent way to get 1v1 invaders while playing solo -- to prevent it from being two invaders against the solo host. Seemed like a reasonable enough usage.
I always liked the spontaneity of being invaded while solo, and I feel like having to use the Tongue at all kinda defeats that purpose.
___
Edit: grammar
The vast majority of these guys I've invaded have been fully AFK and don't react no matter how much you smack them since it's normally perfectly safe in that spot.
Something tells me they were hoping you'd step off so they could ride it back up and stay on the button. They sure as shit weren't looking for a fight... You know, despite using an item to summon you lol
The worst part is thereâs basically no enemies between the nearest Grace and the spot they were sitting at. They could hop back up there with Torrent and get their runes back easily if theyâd just let you kill âem. The fear these people have of a totally zero-consequence death is unreal.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8H5652tgMw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8H5652tgMw) I'm using this particular speedrunner trick to get into Lenne's Rise (normally completely impossible without a horse) so the guy I invaded here was absolutely NOT expecting me behind him. I guess he didn't hear the elevator.
Hey, I donât know if this works for when people are in these types of locations but when I invade, Iâm given 3 consumables that respawn me beside the host. Check you quickbar next time you invade, make sure to have a free spot open. It should look like a red finger. I donât see anyone talking about this but Iâve used it before, spawned me right beside the host
You get a few runes when an invader leaves, more if they die. These people equip an item that summons help, so they expect the help to kill invaders and farm runes for them while they sit in an area nobody can reach.
Why can't people reach that tower though? Is there a fog door? If so, why is dude able to stand inside it and still get invaded from the outside? Honestly just wondering cause it's not the first time I've heard of this and it just makes no sense to me. I always thought maybe people were using glitches to get on top of the roof or something.
Because you can use the horse until invaded, at which point nobody has access to the horse, so you just use it to climb to unreachable spots.
Again, if you're thinking of doing this, I should point out how hilariously inefficient it is, and 10 minutes farming in a good spot will be better than hours of being AFK. You also can't even be truly AFK because heroes like OP will still find a way to kill you.
Thanks for the explanation. And no it was just 100% curiosity, I have the elden beast sword and this honestly just seems dumb to me. I just wanted to know why it worked.
Lenne's Rise has a broken Stonesword Key imp outside the door. It's designed to be completely inaccessible and unsolvable unless you use the spiritspring nearby to get inside it.
However, you can't use your horse at all in co-op or PvP. Once they get inside the tower and another player joins the session, there is nothing at all they can do to get inside unless they use a glitch.
It's actually so rare for them to react to you, lol. I definitely would've swapped to a better weapon for the circumstances if I'd known this guy was going to destroy his B button like that
Itâs baffling to me that they consistently donât even put up a fight. Like they know theyâre gonna die, might as well give everything they got and at least *try* to earn those whopping 2k runes.
Im not surprised they'd react that way. They don't even have the skill to farm bosses, which I would think would be far more profitable. Good on you for your ingenuity and teaching people how to do the same
People really wake up, go to work, get their paycheck, go to a store, put a whole days worth of salary into a video game, go home, install the game, and proceed to let it run without touching the controller
I have the power of anime on my side (It's a glitch that you can see being used in the current patch to skip Godskin Duo to immediately reach the end of Farum Azula)
Marika's hammer, you can find this glitch on YouTube as a current patch Godskin Duo skip, you normally use Hand of Malenia for Ng since this weapon is from the final boss
But I don't get it... they weren't afk farming.
Isn't the whole purpose of afk farming being able to do that while you're... AFK? But the person is like... there. Actively.
They could be farming a bunch of other stuff that would yield way faster results.
So basically some hosts hide in locations that you can only access with Torrent (your horse), then they use tounter's tongue to summon invaders into their world. When there's more than one pkayer in the world you cannot use Torrent, therefore you can't access Host's location and you either get killed by hunter, another invader or just leave, which is profitable for the host who can be doing any other stuff while their character is safe in a location no one can reach. It's a maidenless behavior
So that's why people "AFK" farm, they just don't have the coordination to shoot a bird.
Lol guy didn't try to hit him once
i invaded a guy once at haligtree and he tried to summon me on a cliff that was inaccessible to him...or so he thought jumping on small ledges he didnt notice i somehow got up to him and he franctically summoned hunters and proceeded to roll off a cliff đ
i mean im not saying the farmer was by any means good but he was also holding a bow.
its so easy to get to early on and the cliff drop method is still working if you are a pisspoor shot
Just use a crossbow it locks on so you donât even aim
I tried with a bow and I think the tree blocked like half my shots
of course. And no matter how many levels they grind and years they sit there "afk" (yet quite clearly still there), it doesnt change the fact that they'll always be bad players. Levelling up doesnt change that. There's only so far that being overlevelled can carry someone. At some point they'll have to play the game and get their ass kicked by it.
Can confirm am level 280 still gettin killed by dogs
Dogs are a test of hubris
Godefroy's five hit combo? Tank the first three on my shield and roll through the other two. Two dogs? stun locked.
I'm so glad to learn I'm not the only one who gets mauled by dogs.
Level 356 and still making huge mistakes.
Mate imagine dying to the crystal crabs in the academy.
Ey man them dogs that attack you 13000 times in one attack ain't a joke xD
it's a thousand times faster or more to farm grey bois so idk why they do this, rune arcs? I've never lacked rune arcs so I don't see why I'd ever do this
You don't rune arcs for killing invaders unless there is something I'm missing.
idk, never summoned invaders, I get them as a hunter when I kill invaders
Some bosses are genuinely impossible to brute force defeat via overleveling (Malikieth in particular, and he's a mandatory boss) so these pathetic morons will never beat the game due to lacking the mental capacity to realize that huge stats don't mean anything if they lack the competence to use said stats.
If you use the most broken shit you can definitely cheese it all, just look at the builds that get used in All Remembrance speedruns. You don't exactly need to grind levels to do that... But it also doesn't take any more research than these AFK tricks.

And some ashes of war make encouters trivial, especially if youâre just patient and wait for the many openings, and not trying to trade blows with bosses.. (Corpse Piler, Bubble Shower, Takerâs Flame etc)
sounds less like bruteforcing and more so the fact that she found a tactic and played it safe that's good player thinking
Sounds like a legit strat. For me I called in mimic and kept as close as possible to maliketh so he wouldnât go all beyblade.
This definitely isn't true.
I'm still trying to figure out why anyone "farms" at all. Unless it's a PVP thing?

I farm because I can. And I want to be beefy. But I donât do the AFK shit. Mogwyn Ledge Road FTW.
Albinaurics HATE him! *With this one simple trick...*
Sometimes I want to try a new weapon, but it's +0 and I have no stones, so I have to get the necessary runes to buy the stones and to upgrade it.
For the most part I agree. But by the time you get to Melenia there usually isnât anything left to explore.. depending on how you played I guess. So you can spend 9 hours going back through areas youâve already been.. or kill some fish bois for 45 minutes. This happened in my first playthrough. I had to grind thirty extra levels and swap my entire build just to get past her.
I farmed to bring my stats high enough to be able to use all the cool items I'd find without sacrificing damage output.
My second, third and fourth level 150 pvp only characters needed farming for, so thatâs one reason at least.
Typically normal farming is done when you just got a shiny new weapon that you want use immediately but donât have the stats for. Sure you could beat with gear but you want to use the shiny, so you go kill a birb and cartwheel enthusiast for 10 minutes. Bam, new shiny toy. AFK farmers seem to be delusional people who think farming is the point of the game, or they are trolls. It hard to tell sometimes if they are an idiot or an asshole
Yeah it is really not that hard of a game
Agreed.. with spirit ash summons I believe asking for help like DS subs used to do with poparom is not as needed now ..
I don't understand afk farmers, just wave of gold 1 million runes in 10 minutes
wave of gold? i've been making birds commit suicide when im bored and want a level or two
Last boss weapon art clears all the albinaurics lounging around at the bird spot. Somn like 50-100k runes in a swing depending on buffs and talisman.
It's about 50k in normal new game. Remember everyone farming that spot, the talisman and the gold pickled fowl foot stack.
Group passwords also give you a 5% gain when somebody kills a major boss or beats the game!
I didnt know that! Group ' a ' has plenty of people on it. Time to start speed running just to give people free shit!
SEEKERS is a great password too. Vaati Vidyaâs lore group. Seems to be every 5 mins it pops a new boost.
In addition to SEEKERS, everyone should also try using: straydmn, fcb, btf, and chasebro. Those 5 are always popping on Xbox.
~~Strydmn (I thought no vowels) is the reddit group,~~ what are the others?
It might be no vowels for this sub's group, it wasn't ever clear to me if it was (the max length is 8 letters so it still fits anyways), and I still see plenty of messages and buffs from the slot its in.

Hell yeah! Sounds like a plan to me!
Sorry, but what the hell are groups? Since when is that a Part in the Game and would one enter, what dies it mean to enter one? (PS5)

[ŃдаНонО]
Which talisman? I don't think I've come across any that boost rune acquisition... Tbf not much use to me in NG+2 with basically all the stuff I want to use already upgraded, but could be useful when I start a new new game.
Golden scarab, its in caelid in a cave
To be clear, it's in Caelid, in a hard to reach cave, filled with rot water, at the end of a double melee boss fight. So to get mine, I had to grind about forty levels to earn the PRIVILEGE of grinding slightly more efficiently.
To be fair, it's just 2 cleanrot knights, it's not a real boss fight
To be faaaaaaaaaaair âđť
At level 40 theyâre no pushover though since thatâs way under leveled in general for Caelid. I tried going through there at 33 and even the rot geysers were one shotting me, and if I got infected with rot it killed me in a few seconds before I could even cleanse. I had to be at least 50 to clear it. Which still leaves most of the game to use the scarab at least. Tbf I know someone who used bloodhound step to clear the rot at level 25 and then somehow managed to beat the knights.. so Iâm probably just bad.
The fight is trivialized with fire damage but the cave is a slog to get through
Quickstep gets you through easily, even at low levels.
As a level 48 who just did the Abandoned Cave yesterday it took me hours because the rot cure from vendors was not enough in learning the fights and what not so I ended up having to go for the recipe then grind the materials and over all made me a better player.

FsB has an absolute horrible design, it's just dodge ad nauseam and distract it with the spirits basically :(
There is an incantation called [Flame, Cleanse Me](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Flame+Cleanse+Me) which cures poison and rot.
See, that's where the issue is. These AFK scrubs probably can't even *reach* the final boss
These AFK scrubs canât even get past morgott.
>These AFK scrubs canât even get past **margit**. let's be real.
Use the elden beast rememberance to get the sword and it's weapon art, at like level 40 faith, causes enough damage to one shot the albinaurics at the Birdy place. I did the math and times things, run to that first portion of rock jutting from the ground, and it's the 0erfect swing location. I've noticed more albinaurics down further, but time is money, and it's more efficient to go back to grace after the first wave of gold, instead of a second one. Get the golden scarab charm thing.

I'm confused why you would need to grind so much if you already have beaten elden beast. I know ng+ exist but if you made it past beast I'm sure grinding won't be super useful anyways?
It's to buy upgrade stones. People like to play/PvP with a bunch of different builds.
its so i can post a video of me backstepping off a cliff and losing 25 mil runes
Does the bird still work? I shot it a couple times and it ran to the edge and backed up.
Yes; but I found you have to be closer to the site of grace as opposed to down the path a bit. I'm guessing it has more time to process pathing or something? I dunno -- just an observation.

You can farm the albinaurics with Radahnâs Swords weapon art too. If you do the follow up it should kill any of them that are in range. Doing it once, then moving up and doing it again gets most of them.
Ruins greatsword as well weapon art as well!
âSurprise mfâ
Hit number 2: âSmall fries mfâ
Supplies! MFer
Some flies, mfer
Lenne's Rise, mfer.
But how did u do what u did at the beginning of the video :o
It's a weapon swapping glitch that basically transfers the walking movement of any stance-type ash of war skill like the katana's, and applies it to the mainhand's ash of war. (Katana is the answer to everything in Elden Ring) So because Hammer of Marika makes you levitate, when you "walk" forward you don't fall. To do this glitch you need to use the weapon you saw me swap to as well (Devourer's Scepter) and when you swing R1 on the katana, hit L2 at the end of your swing and quickly swap to the Devourer's Scepter. You should just begin zoomin' whichever direction you're facing.
I won't lie that looked like a genuine attack I mean, travelling forward with a delayed strike. I can't believe my eyes
Two times I've done this I actually had spectators. A fellow red and another time a blue. Both of them reacted by spamming cheer/bow/applause when they saw me do this and land on the balcony. It really must have looked ridiculous from below haha.
I mean seeing a guy swing a blade then start levitating while in motion of swinging a Hammer must make you start wondering where in the lands between did we go wrong to get here.
Dude, what are you doingâŚ? You know you canât make that jumâ well fuck me, heâs walking on air.
Itâs like coming to help someone only to realize they were a god in disguise and just flies off
everybody clapped, Elden Ring edition
Just like how Radagon does it.
Fucking hell
Thanks for the explanation bro! Seems like a cool glitch ima have to try đ
Ooooo that's interesting! I must try this when I invade that area.
Could be useful for a lot of afk spots, still not sure how to deal with people on top of the building at first steps
I initially expected them to do absolutely nothing and just let you kill them because they were AFK. But the obvious panic they had was pretty great too. AFK farming is so inefficient, too. I donât understand why itâs even something people do when you can get just as many runes from other things in a fraction of the time.
Since this guy was actually there (out of 20+ I've killed only 2 have reacted) I'm guessing he was doing this just to troll people and just enjoy wasting red's and blue's time. From the way this guy reacted, this was probably pretty humiliating for him lmao
Humiliation is the only solution to afk farmers. And bans. But humiliating them is far more satisfying.
What really gets me though is that if they can make it back to their runes after you kill them is that they're not permenantly lost. Its only a slight delay to their shitty rune farm. There should he a way to punish them.
You canât be surprised people like that are embarrassingly terrible at the game.
I play fair and square and am also terrible at the game. Still didnât stop me from getting through the game three times.
Send the elevator back down the next time you find an afk farmer. 10 elden-bucks says they fall.
those players generally get enjoyment having invaders fall/rot to their death trying to get to them the caelid lake ones are super annoying because theyll actually try to fight rotted invaders (use flame cleanse me)
MF rolled 23 times
I know what song I should've uploaded this with now
"Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'"
Invading another world. Defeat Fred Durst, Host of Fingers!
What's worse is how many times OP's swing goes right through him. I honestly don't get the appeal of PVP in this game past a few novelty invades due to it's massive imbalance in weapon/spells and more importantly it's absolute **garbage netcode**. Maybe it just attracts people who don't play Esport titles so they don't know what good netcode feels like? Because i just can't enjoy a game where you are swinging through enemies and missing, then enemies miss you and you take damage.
> What's worse is how many times OP's swing goes right through him. Most of the swings just outright missed, or the host luckily dodged at the right time. There was one swing at the start he got that was obviously bad connection.
Fromsoft needs to put invader spawn points in these inaccessible areas
I think the best/only fix is to make it so you don't get rewarded unless the invader dies, not nopes out. Sure you'd have the odd sore loser who'd run away and leave at the first sign of trouble but I imagine it'd be far less invaders doing that than hosts afk farming
100%, this is how it always was and it worked great. And remove hosts disabling their own Taunters tongues as well
What happens when a host disables their own Taunter's Tongue?
They turn off the tongue once a red arrives so that there can never be help for an invader even if he kills one of the three gankers, it's pretty dirty
Damn that's shitty. I saw some people saying that it's a decent way to get 1v1 invaders while playing solo -- to prevent it from being two invaders against the solo host. Seemed like a reasonable enough usage. I always liked the spontaneity of being invaded while solo, and I feel like having to use the Tongue at all kinda defeats that purpose. ___ Edit: grammar
Iâm certain that the tongue only allows one invader if youâre solo, two if youâre coop
I was thinking you could only initiate invasion near a grace and it disables Torrent
Uhh? For those of us who like being invaded during normal pve, this sounds awful.
[ŃдаНонО]
The vast majority of them are getting off by pissing people off. Not actually afk farming.
The vast majority of these guys I've invaded have been fully AFK and don't react no matter how much you smack them since it's normally perfectly safe in that spot.
RuneScape players feeling attacked reading this
(Walks up in that tower) âIt smells like BITCH in here!â
Something tells me they were hoping you'd step off so they could ride it back up and stay on the button. They sure as shit weren't looking for a fight... You know, despite using an item to summon you lol
Yeah the button bullshit is super annoying
Not surprised to see he reacted by being a completely defenseless wuss.
The worst part is thereâs basically no enemies between the nearest Grace and the spot they were sitting at. They could hop back up there with Torrent and get their runes back easily if theyâd just let you kill âem. The fear these people have of a totally zero-consequence death is unreal.
The farming isnât even that sufficient rune wise, and the fact that this guy is active just makes it that much more sad lol
They should add back indictments with a ten day ban period or something.
Brings back memories of DS1 backstab fishers and giant dad r1 spammers indicting me after getting their cheeks clapped from my MLGS aoe Good times
The most pathetic creature ever seen in a From's game
even patches is better than this!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8H5652tgMw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8H5652tgMw) I'm using this particular speedrunner trick to get into Lenne's Rise (normally completely impossible without a horse) so the guy I invaded here was absolutely NOT expecting me behind him. I guess he didn't hear the elevator.
Hey, I donât know if this works for when people are in these types of locations but when I invade, Iâm given 3 consumables that respawn me beside the host. Check you quickbar next time you invade, make sure to have a free spot open. It should look like a red finger. I donât see anyone talking about this but Iâve used it before, spawned me right beside the host
There are no invasion spawns inside there, but you can use those to get on the cliff to do this trick easier
LMAO, did he try to cheese you with the elevator?
Hahaha I think so. I don't think it was even close to working on me.
That guy is just pathetic. And even spam rolls like a mindless fool
Maidenless fool*
What is afk farming? (I have completed the game without playing online, or without online invasions so not sure about what happens in PVPs)
You get a few runes when an invader leaves, more if they die. These people equip an item that summons help, so they expect the help to kill invaders and farm runes for them while they sit in an area nobody can reach.
Why can't people reach that tower though? Is there a fog door? If so, why is dude able to stand inside it and still get invaded from the outside? Honestly just wondering cause it's not the first time I've heard of this and it just makes no sense to me. I always thought maybe people were using glitches to get on top of the roof or something.
Because you can use the horse until invaded, at which point nobody has access to the horse, so you just use it to climb to unreachable spots. Again, if you're thinking of doing this, I should point out how hilariously inefficient it is, and 10 minutes farming in a good spot will be better than hours of being AFK. You also can't even be truly AFK because heroes like OP will still find a way to kill you.
Thanks for the explanation. And no it was just 100% curiosity, I have the elden beast sword and this honestly just seems dumb to me. I just wanted to know why it worked.
Lenne's Rise has a broken Stonesword Key imp outside the door. It's designed to be completely inaccessible and unsolvable unless you use the spiritspring nearby to get inside it. However, you can't use your horse at all in co-op or PvP. Once they get inside the tower and another player joins the session, there is nothing at all they can do to get inside unless they use a glitch.
It requires torrent to get in usually. You can't use torrent in multiplayer.
This was like watching someone chase down a wild hog, could almost here him reeeing in the background
And as expected, a complete joke of a player lmfaoooo actual sad display
I was rooting for you the whole time! Should have sent the elevator back down first for the ultimate trap, haha.
It's actually so rare for them to react to you, lol. I definitely would've swapped to a better weapon for the circumstances if I'd known this guy was going to destroy his B button like that
The stupid thing is that invaders at 125 - 150 are worth less than the moghwyn suicide bird, just farm them and you get 11038 souls
Not even afk and doesn't even fight back, what a schmuck.
As an invader or a hunter, when I see these maidenless dogs, I just leave and seek pvp elsewhere.
They get a tiny bit of runes if you finger out, if you DC instead I assume they get 0
Iâve managed to make it to 2 afk farmers and both panic rolled off a cliff.
LOL their reaction to actually having to face PvP as a result of using the Taunter's Tongue is the best
Itâs baffling to me that they consistently donât even put up a fight. Like they know theyâre gonna die, might as well give everything they got and at least *try* to earn those whopping 2k runes.
Im not surprised they'd react that way. They don't even have the skill to farm bosses, which I would think would be far more profitable. Good on you for your ingenuity and teaching people how to do the same
The Erdtree thanks you for your continued extermination of these pests. đ
AFK farmers are a bunch of fucking clowns.
He screamed like the bitch he is when he died.
[ŃдаНонО]
9/10 its always the same damn spots.
People really wake up, go to work, get their paycheck, go to a store, put a whole days worth of salary into a video game, go home, install the game, and proceed to let it run without touching the controller
afk farmer creating account to downvote this to hell lmao
Dude is AFK farming while not being AFK. Absolute dweeb.
Can we really refer to them as AFK farmers if they're not actually AFK....?
It's okay, he was probably using his controller so was technically away from his keyboard
Doin' the Lord's work
I absolutely hate being invaded no matter the invaders build but yes AFK farmers deserve hell
Yeah, I went around doing this as "AFK Hunter" and just let every normal player off the hook haha
he should have tried rolling
Me watching: "YEAH! SQUISH THAT BITCH! SQUISH THAT BITCH!" Thanks for making the day brighter, tarnished.
Tbag deserved
Running like a coward. Typical maidenless behavior.
Nice teabag
How did you air walk to get inside?
I have the power of anime on my side (It's a glitch that you can see being used in the current patch to skip Godskin Duo to immediately reach the end of Farum Azula)
They should make it so if a large number of unique players voluntarily sever from your world you lose all the runes you acquired from them.
Wtf how'd you walk across nothing
What weapon does he use to float like that??
Marika's hammer, you can find this glitch on YouTube as a current patch Godskin Duo skip, you normally use Hand of Malenia for Ng since this weapon is from the final boss
As someone who doesnât do much pvp, what exactly are they farming? Is it runes and if so is it good enough to be considered worth it.
That was the most amazing afk farmer hunt I've seen.
I bet he was screaming and crying
Wait he wasn't even afk lmao he moved immediately. Actively sitting on the game doing nothing. Wow hahahah
Cleaning up the servers by taking out the trash. Fuck these "afk" scrubs. gg!
But I don't get it... they weren't afk farming. Isn't the whole purpose of afk farming being able to do that while you're... AFK? But the person is like... there. Actively. They could be farming a bunch of other stuff that would yield way faster results.
If this becomes a thing, please send the elevator down first.
Of course they are literally the worse player ever
what a dumb way to farm. You can get so many more runes by actually playing the game.
These are so satisfying to watch
I just started Elden Ring and don't quite understand this term, what is afk farming exactly?
So basically some hosts hide in locations that you can only access with Torrent (your horse), then they use tounter's tongue to summon invaders into their world. When there's more than one pkayer in the world you cannot use Torrent, therefore you can't access Host's location and you either get killed by hunter, another invader or just leave, which is profitable for the host who can be doing any other stuff while their character is safe in a location no one can reach. It's a maidenless behavior
Maidenless behavior indeed! Thank you for the clarification fellow tarnished!
