The latest Elden Ring update also introduced a brand new PvP mode called Colosseums, inspired by an ancient Roman culture, where combatants fight each other to death. The developers have added Colosseums in Limgrave, Caelid, and Leyndell, each with a different set of rules and regulations. While some players are disappointed by the lack of variety in Elden Ring Colosseums, the new feature has mostly received a positive response from the community. Elden Ring Colosseum fights can be enthralling and suspenseful, as one gamer found out.

Reddit user Specialist-Trick4288 uploaded a video on the social media platform showing their spectacular victory in an Elden Ring Colosseum. The video begins with the user having almost negligible health, indicating that any successful attack will kill them. Meanwhile, their Elden Ring rival’s HP is nearly half, putting them in a highly advantageous position. Specialist-Trick4288 tries to evade the oncoming assaults by constantly moving around the fight area, not allowing the opponent to connect their attacks. Their main concern is to avoid getting hit at all costs, and they also use Carian Phalanx sorcery to deal small amounts of damage sporadically.

At the same time, the opponent continues their relentless assault on Specialist-Trick4288 with the deadly Rancorcall sorcery from Elden Ring. This spell creates several floating skulls that chase the target and inflict severe damage when they make contact. Surprisingly, the user avoids each attack and waits for the opportune moment to shift the tide in their favor. The rival doesn’t make any significant progress and switches to the Eternal Darkness spell from Elden Ring, which also proves ineffective. Finally, Specialist-Trick4288 finds the perfect moment and kills the opponent with the Carian Phalanx skill in Elden Ring.

Specialist-Trick4288’s victory is another example of why Elden Ring players should prioritize defense instead of focusing their energies on attacking. Focusing too much on offense can leave a gamer in a vulnerable position in Elden Ring, and a skilled opponent like Specialist-Trick4288 can easily take advantage of it. Experts recommend taking a balanced approach in Elden Ring PvP fights to avoid upsets like in the video above.
