Main Note:
Ok, as almost every b3@n3r from my country my mother language is TACO, so my School Shooting language is not good but as I told to a friend who did a guide about PVP on DS2: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3308874779 "if u want to reach more people then translate it to tea and stinky breath language" so if u see a misspelling I don't care bc i hate the commonwealth still exists.
PDT: Remember than REDs are players than could use their time to help other players as Sparhawk 58, Marek.jop1 or Jaguar or just put their red sign (in fact I'm against gank people who use it) or just use the coliseum if they wanted a duel, or just invade and gift things as FrenziedMerchant did but they decided try to kill to PVE players just for the fun of do it (and not, the quest of Varre it's not a excuse bc the quest only ask u invade the host, not kill them and now u can kill an NPC instead of invading), so don't feel bad about hunt them.
Things U Need To Know And Get (Part 1):
Necessary:
0:- Learn where is the save of Ur game (The ER0000.sl2 file) and make a backup of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhMj6mjYgWY
1.- Communication is a key when u are ganking so...learn how to use the steam interface in game (shift + Tab):
Steps:
Open the steam interface inside the game (again shift + tab):
Click on the 1st symbol left to right (the exclamation mark):
And click on "view players" to see the list of recent players u played with.
Now knowing about the existence of this tool u can:
-Try to establish communication (sending Friend R, after he accepted U can send him messages) when u arrive to the world of other players when u dont know them (but discord is still the best option yet specially bc if u and ur mate have 2 computer monitors U 2 both can share the other's screen by there so when u get a response from the another player host or summon send or ask him Ur/his discord ID and star a call, u can star a call on steam too but it will not have a god audio quality).
-Star to identify other players: The invaders who are usual customers, hackers or C.E. users and block them,
-.U can see when an invader is trying to arrive on Ur world even before the P2P program (But u have to open and close the players list to update this information).
-etc.
Note: But don't worry if the host / summon (or who U think is the host / summon) dont accept Ur Friend R. bc I have been in situations where this happened or the other guy didn't speak School Shooting (english) or TACO or even in case where they didn't have discord and more of the times I haven't had any problems while Gank with a random guy.
2.- Get the taunters tongue: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Taunter%27s+Tongue (With this item u can cancel the time between invasions when it is turn on, u can turn it off when u want/need, but be careful bc if u keep it on all the time u can get 2 invaders at the same time).
3.- Get the White Cipher Ring: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/White+Cipher+Ring : This item is to get help with blue guys (police), if u see they are afk (really commun), dont help u or they are near to died (giving the invader mana and HP) u can take them out of Ur world using the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Finger+Severer.
4.- Know how to Summon Friends:
- In case U dont know how to do it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72AYPLd9Mwk preferably the host with a meta lvl character (125-150 or lvl 30, normal weapon lvl +1 and special weapon lvl +3 if u want to hunt bullys who hunts new players) and the friends with max lvl carathers, the host can use C.E. to has max lvl stats with another lvl but i don't recommend do it.
4.1- What? U dont have friends? Don't worry, be happy, just join our hunters clan https://steamcommunity.com/groups/The_Amigos_Clan_Organization , or send me a friend request bc to be honest we don't use the clan chat bc discord exists.
5.- Obviously u need one Boss alive on the zone (preferably 2 or 3 if u r on an open zone of the map).
6.- U really have to learn how to install this: https://github.com/tremwil/SteamP2PInfo/releases It will help u to see the ping u have with other players.
7.- Get this: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Law+of+Regression U will need it later, i know there is a weapon that can do the same but I like more the old ways, weapon: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Leda%27s+Sword
8.- This is amazing to become mad to the invaders: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Bone+Bow thanks to its special skill (specially good to hunt runners).
Optional:
A) Learn what a SwitchLag is and how it works (start downloading a lot of videos, games, etc sometimes works too).
B) If u are touched by the tree fingers u can use this item to heal u and if they are not touch they will get frenzy https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Frenzyflame+Stone
C) Learn how to duplicate items with help of a friend and Ur backups (Specially recommended to get tons of boluses, runes, weapons) or....
C.1) Learn what Cheat Engine is and how it works on the game (Hey, listen! This could be really really dangerous to Ur Game account and Ur steam Account too if u dont do it well, move something U should not, please dont put u dlc spells if u dont have the dlc, etc so just do it at your own risk).
C.1.1) Sheet of C.E...... https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/48?tab=files or https://github.com/The-Grand-Archives/Elden-Ring-CT-TGA
C.1.2) Antishit (It is necessary to FS “does not detect U”) https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/90
C.1.3) OLD Video explaining how to do it....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFKKNMpn3Is
D) Ok this one could be complicate bc u need to kill a several number of bosses to get it, but I recommend than if U can, want or need it then farm this item https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Rune+Arc helping people or killing tons of rats, so u can activate this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Great+Runes and as the host u get an advantage over the invader.
NOTE: Farm rune arc helping other players with their bosses > use C.E. to get them > farm them with rats (don't lose Ur time doing this just use C.E.) > getting them by killing pve players.
E) Use this to cut the infinite stamina the invaders have https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Fan+Daggers and u will almost sure lost to walk near a A.I enemie and this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Great+Turtle+Shell and this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Pickled+Turtle+Neck just in case u want to lost Ur time following them.
F) With these 2 tools u can save time on the creation of a new character to pvp (again, do it at your own risk), Note: i don't know if they still works after the dlc
[1] https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/2299 and https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/214
[2] https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/articles/455
G) Left a lot of messages on the world with Ur carathers, when someone reacts to them u get HPs (if u are on Ur world) and it sometimes saves.
H) Organize Ur inventory (this is something i don't do bc i always have 2 of every weapon with me to gift (1 on lvl 0 and 1 on max lvl) but my friends more tryhard on this game does it and it helps them a lot so that's why i include this point:
I) Learn how to create this: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Albinauric+Pot few people use it but sometimes it is funny to use it.
J) I don't know why but i I have seen how this saves lives (when they are near death this works as the Tears of Denial from ds3): https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Blue-Feathered+Branchsword
K) I really like this spell: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Collapsing+Stars apparently this is very annoying for some invaders.
L) I know the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragon+Communion+Incantations are good to gank (right now) but I don't use them to be honest.
M) U have to have Ur HUD always on to always see Ur buffs, and speaking about buffs I didn't include them on the guide bc we don't use them.
Ok, now what?
Well...............This will depend on where you want to hunt invaders.
Check the next pages to get more info...
Things U Need To Know And Get (Part 2):
Note: To be honest I know there are a lot of things u use usually but or I haven't used them or no-one of my friends have used them (recently) so that's why i didn't include them here, but don't worry the comment section is on for it.
Things To Do On General On Every Zone:
Before U turn on the tongue:
0.- Clear the enemies in the zone (where u believe it could be necessary) yes u can do this point after point number 3 but the correct way would be starting with this one 1st.
1.- Activate https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Great+Runes
2.- Don't forget to have activate this: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/White+Cipher+Ring and on case Ur blue hunter is afk or near death use this.... https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Finger+Severer
3.- Summon ur friends and/or random guys (preferably use a password if u summon friends) and a NPC if u are in a zone where u can use them.
3.1.- In case U summon random guys then gift them things like Blessings of Marika, a stack of Starlight Shards, a stack of Marika's Runes or just weapons and armor sets, doing this u will create a good relation bt kill invaders and pass a great time.
4.- Position you and Ur friends at strategic points (with the time u will learn where the invaders can arrives when the host is on "X" or "Y" position, and than if the host is on that specific position the invader will only arrive on the same spawn points).
5.- Turn on the tongue and enjoy the hunt :D
After U turn on the tongue:
With help of the steam interface check when they start to come to Ur world and Turn off the tongue when u see only 1 coming to be sure they will not get a friend (in case U dont want to give them a friend).
When U see them arrive in Ur world and they arrive really near u remember they have a little time when they have invulnerability frames so they cant get damage but they can do it, so take care about it.
When u see them buffing left them do it until u see them use the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Flask+of+Wondrous+Physick then u have to use this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Law+of+Regression (This is the reason why i don't include buffs on this guide, I used this so much, to the point a friend left of use buffs when he plays with me) or
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Leda%27s+Sword
Use this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Albinauric+Pot if u want
When u have them near u, use the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Fan+Daggers to prevent than they do u lost Ur time following them with them having infinite stamina (again..... don't lose Ur time following them, unless you are the blue one and have the duty to protect the host following him).
What do U have to do in case the invader is just running and hiding himself?
If the invader run alot or if he is playing to be hidden, don't follow them, don't waste your time
trying to find him, just go to a boss fight zone (Where u have the boss dead preferably), if the host go inside the battlefield of the boss fight even if the boss is dead then the invader/s will return to their worlds but ur summons not :D
But part of our Duty as PVEngers is no only break the spirit of an invader to make them left the game or become them on hunters too (we did this last one almost 5 times and now I hunt with them and its really funny XD) but more important our duty is be the shield than protect the worlds from good mens so if u can do than a tryhard invader lost his time on Ur world instead of hunting PVE players, well left the reds lost their time playing to be hidden ;D
What do U have to do in case the invader left the game and u and ur friends have few flasks to recover mana and heal?
1st check if u have left groups of enemies alive and near the zone, if u have them then just kill them to recover flasks (this does not happen with all the groups of enemies), if not Just turn off the tongue and then summon again Ur friends after u sit down on a bonfire
What do we do if invaders are not coming even on meta lvls?
1st it is more common than u think, just re-star the TT (https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Taunter's+Tongue) or summon a random guy and send him back home (Don't know why but this sometimes works).
What do we do if invaders teleported theyselfs using the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Phantom+Bloody+Finger ?
Just keep on the same place and remember they will appear on a spawn point near the host, if u dont see them and u dont want to play to find out where they are just remember to use a bossfight zone to kick them
Zones Where I Recommend To Hunt (Part 1):
Ok Guys let's do it...........................
But 1st remember on case u don't know where to find more people to hunt on the actual day (on meta lvls it usually does not care) U can use Ur map, just push "Z" and put the multiplayer status on:
And to know if there is a good number of players playing the game u cant use: https://steamdb.info/app/1245620/charts/
Best zone to hunt? No, come here only if u are over the meta lvls bc when u play on over the meta lvls u almost sure will not get people in another zone.
Almost everybody use this hill as their "Lions King Hill"
but i recommend here (where lute is):
Bc here the invaders will only arrive on 2 spawn points than u and ur friends can see clearly and even 1 of Ur friends can wait on every spawn point.
Left a least 1 enemy alive of every group of enemies to use them to recover SACRED FLASKS (Flask of Crimson Tears and Flask of Cerulean Tears).
On case Ur host or U as host does no have any other boss alive on the zone than the TREE SENTINEL (I have been in this situation 4 times) I recommend go to:
A) In fromt the camp after u clean it:
B) On the beach after u clean it:
C) Why not just hunt here? on the part more near to the Margit boss fight zone and on this way we don't have to run a lot when the invaders run or like to be hidden a lot?
An = To be honest we have hunted there but that part of the map is really ugly so we like to hunt more near to 1st steep.
On case the invader goes to the cliff behind the column:
Then one o U has to use one of https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Ballistas with https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Explosive+Greatbolt or spells and go this position:
And then another one of u could go down to use the special ability of https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Mohgwyn's+Sacred+Spear or https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Starscourge+Greatsword
But remember be carefull bc they can use the same and more agains u or teleport near the host to kill him while u are away each other, if they teleport theyselfs just regroup and wait, or go to the margit boss figth zone if u dont want to lose Ur time.
My favorite zone, it's beautiful, it has a nice look of the map, and before the coliseums it was a place with a lot of people (even over meta lvls).
Please keep this door closed and obviously kill the mages:
Use the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Sacred+Relic+Sword to clean the zone more easy and faster and yes kill the merchant too:
Invaders sometimes try to run and escape using the elevator, so if u are 3 rotate shifts to be a paper press on the push button of the elevator on the up part (Curiously, of the more of 1K invaders that we have killed here, only about 2 times one of them tried to block the elevator).
Sometimes invaders like to play on the edge of the void in the elevators room so I recommend use this:
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Collapsing+Stars or
one of this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragon+Communion+Incantations or
even better use this: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Ringed+Finger
Invaders maybe try to hide here on the ledges, nothing an area attack can't solve:
.
On the past I didnt recommend this zone bc be kill by chainsaw was really easy for the invulnerability frames but now that cahinsaw "is out" (yeah, I know it is still on the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpE_tr7fToI but it is not the same) this could be the best place to gank but its really claustrophobic.
Put a https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Rainbow+Stone every time u kill an invader to give color to the zone:
.
Ok, this place was not on my plans untill i saw 2 videos of steel being kill a lot of times on this place so......
Obviously you have to free to the dung eater from his cell, on case u dont know how https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Dung+Eater to summon him here (minute 7 with 13 sec): https://youtu.be/DwLg42zF7u8?t=433
Again Invaders sometimes try to run and scape using the elevator, so if u are 3 rotate shifts to be a paper press on the push button of the elevator on the up part
Clean the up part on case the invader manages to escape and u want to follow him and dont forget to be prepare to area atacks on case u use the elevator afther the invader (This helps with it: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Uplifting+Aromatic ).
But again dont follow them (especially if you have this door open):
But on case u want to follow them be carefull here:
And again... dont forget has this with u the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Law+of+Regression bc invaders could try to use buildup of sleep with the dung eater.
The good part of the zone is than invaders can not escape.
The bad part is than u have to activate the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Redmane+Castle#radahn-festival to unblock the zone.
Play "abc bingo" with the name of the invaders:
Zones Where I Recommend To Hunt (Part 2):
Queens Bedchamber (Vs MORGOTT):Time ago I saw to Donut use chainsaw against a guy with Melina on this place, so if he considers NPCs a problem enough hard to need to use chainsaw why no be on a zone with 2 NPCs?
Be careful when u jump, i have seen both invaders and gnakers died on funny ways when they jump wrong.
obviously summon to Melina
and / or the dung eater If u are alone or just with a friend or a random guy.
Note: To summon the dung eater u have to release him from his cell (more information about how here: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Dung+Eater ).
Please don't forget a way to give heal your summons.
Its a nice place with few enemies and a special tool.
When u need it use this portal to send back home to the invaders but no Ur summons.
.
On case u r on end game u can use this zone.
The same for this zone when u are vs MORGOTT
Remmeber to summon the npc from this zone u need to do quest (more information here: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Godfrey,+First+Elden+Lord )
Questions And Answers:
Why did u write this guide?
A= Well the main point of this guide was teach to people how to do the glitches than invaders used against me on the past (even knowing invaders could use that information bc If more invaders use it then more gankers will find out the existence of them, in fact every glitch that I found out exist was thanks an invader, not to other gankers, not to my friends, it was thanks invaders) bc the videos I saw on YT omitted information (fact that becomes mad to invaders XD) give the chainsaw macro to everybody and show ways to create new carathers on short time, bc if invaders uses them, why dont we should do it? for invaders who use them, things like the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Raw+Meat+Dumpling are not important, why should be it for U?
And obviously take advantage of the fact that many people still watch my steam account (for a reason that I still don't know) to share the information and show that there are still people trying to bring balance to the force leveling the playing field (my steam clan ;D).
Is this guide full? / will it be one day?
An= Not yet / i don't know.
Why 2 guides of the same topic?
A= Well Kabar and me has a different opinion about the kind of information we want to give and the target we want to reach, I have taught to hunt to a lot of people, I have the patience to do it and I want than since appel users until someone with more of 1K hours on this game can use the information (believe or not even though I don't know what is a "casch-roll" I have taught 1 or 2 things about pvp to people with more experience and knowledge that I).
So... Speaking about the target, who is this guide for?
A= Well, this is especially for the random people I will meet one day, my friends (one of them yesterday asked me a lot of information than was here), me to use it as a check ist and to everybody who wants to use it and over all this is for new players who want revenge against invaders (one of my friends told me "If I suffered now it's their turn to suffer").
"Why do u do this?" / "why play on this way?" / "why we cant be friends?"
An=
-Short An: As I told on the past, I dont do this for souls, glory, popularity, etc....
I do this bc I hate invaders, not to the point to say than they are like the people who practices the main sport of the schools on U.S.A but I really hate them, and if u r going to enjoy kill sheeps (people than only want to play PVE and dont know anything about PVP) then I will enjoy kill Wolfs (U, reds) ;D
-Long An: Comming not soon.
Do have any solution to avoid the invaders if I only want to play PVE?
A= Yes, the seamless coop mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/510?tab=files&file_id=15982%7D
U Just need to have the "allow_invaders" value = 0:
I Would like to recommend create a Bottleneck playing with 2 of the filters the Invaders "has" (the lvl of Ur wepon and the lvl of Ur character) but when an old firend and his 2 friends started to play this game (this last month on July) I gave this recommendation to them and even when 1 of them was character lvl +200 with both kind of weapons on 5 or less, guess what? yes, there was invaders there.
Is Seamless Coop the future of the pvp on pc?
A= It could be, but it will be a dark future where u only play with the same guys all the time (as the time the servers on Titanfall2 didint work well and u have to install a mod just to can play it) hate me but on Ur hearts U know is true, a lot of us just continue playing untill the DLC bc we had hope the dlc comes with all the things we wanted and now we know there will be not covenats a new maximum player limit, etc, well...... We all know this game is not a game as a service, it means It will not get new content then it will lost a lot a lot of players when they just go to play another games.
"What stops invaders from looking at Ur group and blocking you all? Just curious".
An= Nothing, they can do it, they had do it but there are a lot of other players who are really proud and dont do it to try to kill us XD
Special Thanks To:

Fextralife : Thanks to Ur webside, It saved me a lot of text. pdt: please please fix The map of Ur webside, there are icons in the wrong places and missing icons (very common with Summoning Pools).
Andru : Porque gracias a tu video enseñando glitches pude enseñar como se hacian en la 1ra version de esta guia tanto a gente que habla taco como tiroteo escolar y a su vez nosotros nos divertimos bastante usandolos contra invasores.
Onlywaifu : No recuerdo que exactamente fue lo aprendi de vos, pero si recuerdo a kabar mandandome muchos videos vuestros y se que alguna cosa en ellos llegue a usar alguna vez.
Ensha : I wanted to add u before bc u were a before and after to us but I didn't remember something u had taught us but watching old videos than kabar did I remember good memories, some interesting things and than u were the 1st invader who u use the BLUE-FEATHERED BRANCHSWORD and show us it helped to save the life of the user, so thanks for it.
Time of : Thanks to U we learned to use Law of regresion agains people who use buffs and it helped to kill more easy hundreds of Ur people and it partly helped us when the elemental glitch was on bc it gave HP to us, pdt: will u keep Ur promise of try to kill me?
Brainless : Thanks U were the 1st invader who used the elemental glitch agains us we discovered that it existed and used it to kill hundreds and hundreds of invaders, so thanks u so much for so much fun.
S.T. : Thanks for the advertising fo Kabars guide. Do u see? We are not so proud to not say thanks to a pvp streamers when they are no so useless as fakemale (who was so useless as a man and thats why he is now a FAKEmale).
Glitches:
To be honest I wanted to do the guide of how to do chainsaw (with more steeps) and others glitches but I was thinking on do it untill 2025 (with all the rest of the guide) bc:
1.- I wanted to do it on a Y.T. video but im lazy.
2.- But more important is than this year the game will get more updates / patches and I dont want to have to update and delete information constantly (speaking about all the information of the guide).
3.- When I taught the elemental glitch to a friend time ago he used it to do kill PVE players and the worst part was that he showed me how he did it on a discord broadcast, so another of the reasons about why I uploaded my 1st version of the guide so late (1 week before the DLC arrives) was bc I fell bad about how bad people could use the Information to kill innocent players, expecting than when DLC arrives every glitch on the game were fix and the chaos rules only for 1 week and I still dont know if I want the history repeats itself.
But maybe on the future i will share information about it on the comments.
