While there is one popular location for duels in Elden Ring, there are also lesser-known locations that PvP players should try. Some of these locations offer a wide area for players to fight, while others are reminiscent of PvP battlegrounds in previous Soulsborne games. But no matter the location in the game, these areas all have benefits and drawbacks for PvP players.
PvP duels are popular among veteran and new fans of Soulsborne games. In every game, there are prime locations where players can summon in other players to fight, and winning a fight will reward the winner of the duel with an item and Runes/Souls. PvP is so popular that some players will create Elden Ring characters just for dueling other players.
With its amazing, massive open world, there are many possible locations for PvP duels and invasions in Elden Ring. However, it is the PvP players who decide which locations in the game are the best based on the layout of the area and how easy it is to access. However, it is normal for PvP players to want to try dueling in a variety of locations instead of the same area every time they play the game.
Places For Elden Ring Duels In The Lands Between
One of the most popular locations in Elden Ring for duels is the Main Academy Gate Site of Grace outside of Raya Lucaria. This is a great location for PvP players because of the circular layout that surrounds the site of grace. And if players want to reach this location fast, they can skip Elden Ring's first major boss in Stormveil Castle and head straight to Raya Lucaria.
However, if the Main Academy Gate is getting a bit boring there are other locations that PvP players can try for duels. Limgrave's The First Step, the game’s starting location, has a wide-open area that is perfect for PvP duels. A drawback, however, is the potential encounter of dishonorable players who hide from fights to farm runes.
Another location that PvP players can try is the Impassable Greatbridge in Caelid. It resembles the Iron Keep Bridge in Dark Souls 2, which was a very popular area for duels and fight clubs. The bridge has some edges and obstacles players need to watch out for, but that can add to the danger of a PvP duel. Other benefits to the bridge are the nearby Grace and lack of enemies.
A final location to try is the hall that leads to Elden Ring’s final boss, located just beyond the Elden Throne Site of Grace. Any players trying to summon help for the final boss may encounter the occasional red summon signs for duels. The narrow hallway may make any potential Elden Ring duel a challenge.
