FromSoftware players will always come up with the most annoying ways to kill you. Messages that say “Try jumping ahead” are placed in front of deadly chasms. Beams of deadly magic melt you as soon as you spawn in. Speedy, naked players stab you repeatedly in the back.
Of course, all of this is well within the rules created by the developers. In Elden Ring, however, players are using an exploit to ruin your day – an exploit that comes in the form of invisible magic projectiles.
