One Elden Ring Runes player has had to cook invaders alive as a devious punishment.
The Elden Ring player has devised a technique called the 'Furnace Trap' to punish invaders. As the video below demonstrates, this requires baiting players right into a narrow passageway and trapping them there having a gigantic Greatshield, which then spews forth a stream of fire to lose them to a crisp.
The method relies upon two things: the Visage Shield, along with a metric tonne of Stamina. The former is really a downright haunting item that resembles the Fire Giant's face and throws out fire from the twisted maw using the Tongues of Fire skill, which drains your Stamina massively for each second it continues.
Slamming a Tarnished into the oven and shutting the doorway behind them is really a terrible fate for just about any player, not to mention an invader. You can see the sheer panic in certain invaders' movements within the clip above because they realize what's about to take place, but try because they might, several things in Elden Ring are simply inevitable.
Not that people don't condone vanquishing invaders in methods that Elden Ring clearly enables, though. When you're voluntarily entering into someone else's game to kill them, you're basically requesting trouble, and who is able to blame a defender if they are employing drastic measures to eliminate an invader?
Imagine the very last thing you see is the Fire Giant's ugly mug spewing flames at you. No, thanks.
