Summary
AnElden Ringplayer has found an extremely OP tactic for invasions which involves placing Glass Shards around levers, making it extremely difficult for opponents to use levers and run away. Glass Shards are considered one of the most worthless items inElden Ringby far, as they are the only item in the game that have practically no use at all.
Just like the other Souls games,Elden Ringis well known for its difficultyand theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC takes it a notch higher. Fans are always looking to make the most of the items in the game to deal with the unforgiving difficulty, and it seems like players have employed their creativity once again to make a completely useless item extremely OP.
In a new post on theElden Ringsubreddit, user bugzapperbob reveals an extremely useful trick that makes the Glass Shard OP. During aninvasion inElden Ring, players can strategically place Glass Shards around levers. This will prevent opponents from being able to use the lever properly, as it is possible that they will get prompted to pick up the item instead. If opponents are unable to use the levers and pick up the Glass Shard instead, it will slow them down significantly and can even prevent them from running away altogether.
How To Get Glass Shards In Elden Ring
There are a plethora of ways to get Glass Shards inElden Ringboth in the base game and theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. While players can farm them from enemies such as Demi-Human Swordmaster and Perfumers, one of the easiest ways to get it inElden Ringis through Patches' shop. However, this item has no apparent use at all, apart from this newly discovered tactic by this user.
Fans are already calling it one of the most evil tactics inElden Ring. The tactic of puttingmessages inElden Ringnear levers has been a common practice, and it is quite infuriating for other players as they are unable to use levers at times. In that scenario, however, players don’t have much to lose. On the other hand, this invasion tactic can easily put them in an extremely perilous situation where they can get defeated by the opponent in a matter of minutes. That being said, it is going to be a tad difficult to pull it off, since if players do not place them at the right spot, then the lever prompt is going to take precedence.
