Elden Ring Player Punished for Helping Defeat Boss
Runes act as the main form of currency inElden Ring,affecting player progression and leveling up. All enemies grant runes,but bosses inElden Ringgrant 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.
