PvP in Elden Ring remains a very active space, with players continuing to invade, duel, and hunt well after most have long finished the campaign. That's because PvP remains a fresh and exhilarating experience. It's impossible to guess what to expect when summoned into another player's Elden Ring world. One clip being shared among the Elden Ring community captures this idea perfectly. The player invades, takes on a pair of opponents, and is rewarded with nearly 10 million Runes, a staggering amount.
According to their post on Reddit, player Over_Supermarket_609 invaded another player's world like normal. Hunting their target, they found two players standing in front of a Site of Grace. Over_Supermarket_609 was able to assassinate one of these players in a single leaping attack. The other fell soon after following a quick, one-sided battle. Over_Supermarket_609 then found a dropped item where the players had been standing. It was 99 Lord's Runes, 99 Hero's Rune [5]s, 99 Hero's Rune [1]s, and then another 99 Lord's Runes. In total, that's 9,900,000 Runes.
In the video that Over_Supermarket_609 provided, their excitement after picking up their rewards was palpable. Their character leaps into the air, runs in circles, and pumps their arm into the air. Then, perhaps out of fear that their Runes might disappear, they quickly jump to the Roundtable Hold and sell their misbegotten goods to Smithing Master Hewg.
Before any Elden Ring players get the wrong idea, while invaders do get a small number of Runes as a reward for successfully invading, 10 million is all but impossible. This required the players in the world Over_Supermarket_609 invaded to have placed all these Runes on the ground. Only then was Over_Supermarket_609 able to pick them up. Killing them had nothing to do with it. It was just a case of being in the right place at the right time.
Those wondering how this could ever have happened are on the right track. This probably should never have happened. To acquire the number of Runes stolen by Over_Supermarket_609 would take an incredible amount of time. It, unfortunately, makes a lot more sense that the Elden Ring player hacked or cheated to acquire those Runes, which makes Over_Supermarket_609's stealing them righteous, in a way. As for why they were on the ground, they were likely being swapped between characters or potentially being sold via grey market.
It just goes to show that anything is possible in Elden Ring. Invading in Elden Ring PvP can lead to riches untold, though with the risk of potentially being banned by FromSoftware as a result.
Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
