FromSoftware’s distinctive implementation of cooperative play is nice for if that you must convey a stranger or pal into your sport for assistance on a boss, however Elden Ring’s open world and demise/boss defeat disconnects make it a chore to expertise the entire thing starting to finish with a pal.
