The world of Elden Ring is ruthless. But sometimes it’s not the ferocious creatures of the Underworld that are the problem, it’s the other Shardless. The game’s multiplayer system allows players to move from game to game in order to compete against others. If you come across the wrong one, this feature can quickly become hell…
The war against the AFK rune farmers
If you’ve explored the Underworld and exploited its multiplayer system, you’ve surely heard of the AFK rune farmersthose deceitful players who welcome others into their game and then hide, forcing the invader to disconnect.
All for the purpose of obtaining valuable runes, simply by staying in one place, for hours. AFK farmers don’t even need to stay active in the game, they can just go to an inaccessible place, and wait for the invaders to come and go.
But TeaSnarkera Reddit user decided to AFK his host, and thus take the latter to his own game. Using the mimetic veil, he thus turned into a bush, blending into the background, for hours.
Close to nature
On Reddit, TeaSnarker says he made a real connection with this bush that protected him and helped teach a deceitful gamer a lesson. The invader, close to nature, has proven to us that sometimes, it is good to fight fire with fire. If in Elden Ring you find yourself facing an AFK rune farmer, you will know what to do, provided you have time in front of you.
