A common strategy that's emerged in Elden Ring Runes competitive multiplayer over the past two weeks, sees Tarnished sacrifice their own bodies in order to eliminate their opponents.

While Elden Ring obviously features a variety of weapons and spells for dispatching opponents but some of the more treacherous online invaders instead opt to be out in a blaze of glory when it comes to securing a kill or two. I doubt even the most potent synergies that exist in Elden Ring have the offensive ability to effectively eliminate three human foes at once. And should those combos exist, there's nothing funny about them as the clip shown below (h/t the Highlight Reel's Chris Person).

This is all made possible through an item known as Flask of Wondrous Physick, that can be found following a short trip north from Elden Ring's start point. Unlike the Flasks of Crimson and Cerulean Tears, which provide health and magical benefits, this particular, single-use consumable can be modified at checkpoints to offer a myriad of advantages. It's like your own portable Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, limited only by the specific Tears that you come across in the game.

Want a quick faith boost? Put the Faith-knot Crystal Tear in the flask that you use to drink Wondrous Physical Health and drink a sip just prior to fighting to ensure that your spells have a little extra force. Maybe I can also entice you in the Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear's ability to convert magical damage into health? If you're looking to blow yourself up and destroying your body, you can't go wrong with the Crystal Tear that has been Ruptured. And , unlike the vast majority of other similar models It comes with the benefit of a twin so that you can equip both for an even bigger blast.

Things get nuts when you combine a Flask of amazing Physick, energized through 2 Ruptured Crystal Tears together with other items.

In the first video in this series, Elden Ring player Solid Hitoshi added more power to their attack using the Royal Knight's Resolve (a ability that boosts your damage output) and then used Bloodhound Step (a fast-moving, almost invisible dodge move) to quickly position their Tarnished between three marks, securing a hat trick in the quick blink of an eye. JellyDiscrete however, on contrary, demonstrated how the force of gravity of JellyDiscrete's Starscourge Greatswords (massive weapons made from Starscourge Radahn's soul) can be used to lure opponents who are not aware into close range before unleashing to kablooey.

buy Elden Ring Runes, for all its dark atmosphere, manages to be one of the most enjoyable games in recent memory because of interactions between players that are like these.
