Summary
A craftyElden Ringplayer recently managed to evade defeat in a PvP match using the most unlikely of disguises: the body of a dead bat monster. FromSoftware’s latest action RPG took the gaming world by storm when it launched in 2022, with players from all across the internet sharing clips and screenshots of their customElden Ringcharacters - andthe many brutal deathssaid characters would suffer thanks to FromSoftware’s trademark difficulty. In addition toElden Ring’s free-form single-player campaign, the game also sports an online multiplayer mode that allows Tarnished to test their skills against another in PvP battles.
It is here that some of theElden Ringcommunity’s most talked about moments tend to occur, with players sharing tales of encounters withopponents dressed like Spider-Manand other pop culture characters. SomeElden Ringplayers have performed inspired kills like luring enemies into a blocked-off part of the map and incinerating them with a well-placed fire spell, while others instead come up with creative hiding places to bide their time until the perfect time to strike.

Another stealth-oriented player chose a less deadly but still useful source of cover duringtheir latestElden RingPvP matchup. Reddit user Sivicks is currently sharing a series ofElden Ringclips highlighting their creative disguises on r/Eldenring, and the latest sees them hiding from opponents under the body of a slain Giant Bat. This unorthodox tactic proves effective, as several player-controlled opponents walk past Sivicks none the wiser to where they were. Sivicks’s move was so clever that an enemy that did find them applauded them with an in-game clapping taunt. For added humor, Sivicks adds the iconic main theme from Tim Burton’sBatmanfilms to the clip.
Elden Ringcontinues to be one ofthe biggest and most talked about gamesof this current console generation, even a year after its release. Part of this staying power is the game’s massive multiplayer community, which even has its own unwritten rules of engagement when it comes to one-on-one duels. Of course, honor tends to fall by the wayside in the Lands Between, and players have just as often ignored proper protocol in favor of sneak attacks and particularly disgusting kills.
Meanwhile, Sivicks’s dead bat cover trick has been praised as a clever move - one that even earned the acknowledgment of an enemy player that was fooled by it.Elden Ring’s online community is still going strong, sharing tales of victory through cunning tactics like hiding beneath the carcass of a fallen monster and waiting for a better opportunity to attack.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
