How To Avoid PVP In Elden Ring
To avoid PvP (player versus player) invasions or fights in Elden Ring, you can follow several strategies that reduce the chance of being invaded or summoned for PvP combat. Here’s how to keep your journey mostly PvE-focused:
🛡️ 1. Use the “Seed of the Deathbed”
- This consumable item prevents enemy invasions while active.
- It lasts for 30 minutes and can be purchased or found in-game.
- Use it before exploring risky areas or when you want uninterrupted gameplay.
🧙♂️ 2. Stay Offline / Disconnect from Online
- Playing in offline mode completely disables PvP invasions and summons.
- You won’t get co-op help either, but it guarantees no invasions.
⚔️ 3. Avoid Using Multiplayer Summoning Items
- Items like Furlcalling Finger Remedy allow summoning others.
- Not using these avoids being drawn into multiplayer combat.
🚩 4. Don’t Use Red or Gold Summon Signs
- Red summon signs invite PvP combat (invaders).
- Gold summon signs are for co-op help, which may sometimes lead to PvP situations.
📍 5. Stay Away from PvP Hotspots
- Certain areas or bosses attract more PvP activity.
- Avoid locations known for invasions if you want peace.
🔄 6. Manage Your “Bloodstain” Status
- If you die frequently or engage in PvP, your world may be more prone to invasions.
- Avoid repeated deaths in the same area.
⚙️ 7. Adjust Multiplayer Settings
- You can tweak your system settings to reduce matchmaking likelihood (though limited).
🚪 8. Use Summon Pools Selectively
- Avoid areas where you’ve summoned or been summoned repeatedly, as this can increase PvP risk.
