Reddit user Prose001 uploaded a short clip on the social media platform that shows a player invading their world. The video begins with the user doing the Rapturegesture fromElden Ringwhile standing on a cliff’s edge. Soon after, a bloody finger is spawned nearby and approaches the player rapidly. As the two stand face to face, Prose001 begins to attempt the As You Wish gesture, which is soon interrupted by a barrage of attacks from the invader. Both fall off the short cliff, and the invader lands a devastating blow to Prose001, nearly depleting their health bar.
Prose001 quickly consumes a Flask of Crimson Tears to regain HP, but they’re overwhelmed by a constant barrage of attacks from the invader. With the health bar back to almost zero again, the user gets on the offensive and applies the Carian Slicer buff rather than going for another flask to heal themselves. Prose001 suddenly stops retreating and attacks the bloody finger with multiple precise strikes, ultimately killing them. Naturally, the post grabbed the attention of theElden Ringcommunity on Reddit, who showed their appreciation via more than 22,000 upvotes in a single day.
Moreover, the post also received hundreds of encouraging comments, most praising the original poster while others mocked the opponent for losing from an advantageous position. People also applauded the original poster for choosing the precise moment to attack while neatly avoiding oncoming assaults.
Some Reddit users also pointed out the efficacy of theCarian Slicer spell inElden RingPvP mode. This sorcery creates a magical sword and does a sweeping slash to any opponent, dealing massive damage. Players can purchase the Carian Slicer spell after giving the Royal House Scroll to Sorceress Sellen, Miriel Pastor of Vows, or Preceptor Seluvis.
