An Elden Ring player missed out on the spoils of victory after another player kicked them from their game while fighting Godrick the Grafted, a fan-favorite boss. The player managed to record this unfortunate situation, showing the rest of the Elden Ring community the rather rude encounter.
Few titles are as exciting or universally beloved as Elden Ring. Continuing off the success of past From Software games such as Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Demon’s Souls, and the Dark Souls Trilogy, Elden Ring offers players an absolutely monolithic amount of content. Thanks to the incredible number of items, weapons, and armor in the game, a wide range of playstyles are available and valid in Elden Ring. This variety carries over to enemy and boss design, with Elden Ring featuring some of video gaming’s toughest foes. These bosses can be a real challenge for players, with Elden Ring granting players the ability to team up in order to tackle sections of the game. However, not everyone plays nice, with one player sharing their disappointing encounter.

Runes act as the main form of currency in Elden Ring, affecting player progression and leveling up. All enemies grant runes, but bosses in Elden Ring grant the most runes, making them the primary way of leveling up and continuing through the game. “I helped this random kill Godrick and he kicked me out after the kill so I don’t get the runes,” says the player, who was understandably quite aggravated by this encounter.
