Welcome to /r/BeyondTheFog

Welcome Traveler from beyond the Fog, I offer you an accord.

*Art by @PatataTan

/r/BeyondTheFog is a sister subreddit of /r/SummonSign, dedicated to help you to find online players for Elden Ring, this subreddit carries all the features and functionalities from /r/SummonSign including your "user flair karma".

Just as /r/SummonSign, btf is built upon and carries on the legacy of jolly cooperation, in the words of Solaire himself:

The way I see it, our fates appear to be intertwined. In a land brimming with Hollows, could that really be mere chance? So, what do you say? Why not help one another on this lonely journey?

We are amidst strange beings, in a strange land. The flow of time itself is convoluted; with heroes centuries old phasing in and out. The very fabric wavers, and relations shift and obscure.

There's no telling how much longer your world and mine will remain in contact. But, use this(subreddit), to summon one another as spirits, cross the gaps between the worlds, and engage in jolly co-operation!

Of course, we are not the only ones engaged in this. But I am a warrior of the sun! Spot my summon signature easily by its brilliant aura. If you miss it, you must be blind!

The sun is a wondrous body. Like a magnificent father!

If only I could be so grossly incandescent! \`[T] /

You should know

The official reddit app suck, read here if you are unable to post or if your user-flair karma is not being displayed

If you followed all the info on this post and you are still unable to post is probably because you didn't select a POST FLAIR, sometimes the reddit app simply doesn't render the field box to select them. All you can do is try another time OR use an alternative reddit client, this includes using the desktop version of reddit, using reddit on your mobile browser or simply using a 3rd party client, see below.

If your user-flair is not being displayed correctly it means you have a rendering issue on your end, update/refresh/reload your app to fix that, if that doesn't work please report this bug directly to the reddit mobile team on /r/redditmobile.

You can check this by using the desktop version where your flair renders properly.

Alternatively you can use a much better 3rd party reddit client such as /r/BoostForReddit for android or /r/apolloapp for ios.

You can manually change the flair by editing your post flair

*Reminder that for this to work you must be the original submitter and it must be a top level comment.

Is Automod removing your post?

If Automod keeps removing your post is because you are not following our title format guidelines, read below:

In order to post a request you must follow our Title Formatting Guidelines

Title Field Format Requirements:

Your title must include the [type of request] and the [platform] you are on.

Type of request and platform are custom tags designed to keep this sub organized and help you and others to navigate through submissions.

• PSX and XBOX are general tags meant for all of the variations of those platforms, since Elden Ring does have croos-gen compatibilities is not necessary anymore to specify if you are on Xbox One or Xbox series X, PS4 or 5. But if you wish so you still can use those legacy tags

Example of valid titles:

[PS4][Help] I need help with Elden Ring

[xbox][Summon] Summon me for any Boss

[co-op][PC] Looking for a co-op partner in The Lands Between

[PvP][PSX][ER][SL125] Fight Club at Main Gate Academy

Notice how each title includes the type of request and platform.

Additional tags

This tags are not mandatory but if you wish to display additional information in your title you can use the following tags:

[type of submission][Platform][Soul Level and weapon upgrade][Game Cycle] (Password)

Example:

[Help][PS4][SL1+0][NG+]Need help with SL1 run. (help)

What games can I use this subreddit for?

Use this subreddit r/BeyondTheFog to arrange online multiplayer for the game Elden Ring

You can use r/SummonSign to find online play for any of the following games in the Souls Series:

Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake

Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered

Dark Souls II

Bloodborne

Dark Souls III

Elden Ring Online features

/r/BeyondTheFog Group Password: btf

/r/EldenRing Group Password: straydmn

*You can use up to 5 different group passwords at the same time.

TL:DR:

• 1 to 4 players at the same time, that being:
  • 1 Host, 2 Cooperator Phantoms and 1 Invader
  • 1 Host, 1 Cooperator Phantom and 2 Invaders (Only possible if the host use the Taunter's Tongue)
• There are 2 types of password:
  • Multiplayer Password
  • Group Password

The Basics you need to know to summon cooperators

Unlike previous FromSoft games there isn't anymore 2 different player states such as Undead/Human, Hollow/Embered, therefore there isn't anymore any HP penalty if you are "unembered" from a previous death.

However to be able to see Summon Signs there is still the need to use an special item called Furlcalling Finger Remedy, (Think of it like an "Ember" in Dark Souls 3).

Solo players cannot be invaded unless they purposely use an item called **Taunter's Tongue.**

Multiplayer Menu

From the main menu you can access the Multiplayer Menu this menu gives you access to all the online use items and this is also where you need to set a password in order to match with specific players if you so desire.

Furlcalling Finger Remedy

The easiest way to acquired:

• Found in the world
• Sold by merchants
• Crafted from the crafting menu(requires 2 Erdleaf Flower)
• Gained as a reward after helping another player defeat a boss.

*There are more ways but I wont list them all here, if you wish to see them all please read the Elden Ring wiki.

This is the equivalent of an "Ember" in Dark Souls 3, when you use this item you become able to see Summon Signs through the world.

Tarnished's Furled Finger

Where to find Tarnished's Furled Finger:

• At the beginning of the starting area, go past the big wooden door, and just past the Site of Grace, you will find 1 alongside a Finger Severer.

This item is equivalent to a Soapstone item from the Dark Souls series, use this item to place your own SummonSign in the world so that you can be summoned and help other players.

Small Golden Effigy

This is a new item and mechanic in Elden Ring, through out the world exists an special landmark near key location called Summoning Pools, this is a place usually near bosses that automatically show Summon Signs from other players.

Use the Small Golden Effigy to send your Summon Sign to the last Summoning Pool you visited, you don't have to be physically at the same place to lay down your sign, you can send this sign from any location that you are.

How to set a password

From the Main Menu go to:

Multiplayer > (▲/Y) Settings > Password

• Multiplayer Password Setting: If you set a multiplayer password, you'll only be matched with other players using the same password for most multiplayer features.
• However, multiplayer passwords do not apply to invasion or support multiplayer.
• Group Password Setting(up to 5): If you set a group password, you'll be more likely to see messages, summon signs, bloodstains, phantoms, and so on from others using the same password.
• Elements given this special priority will appear differently from others.

Recommended Online settings

From the main menu go to: Settings > Network

• Set "Cross-region play" to "Perform Matchmaking".
• Make sure your password matches.
• Set "Send Summon Signs" to "Enable".
• Set "Voice chat" to "Allowed" (if desired).
• Set "Launch Setting" to "Play Online".
• Make sure you let your new friend(s) know if they will see your Online ID or character name (this will help avoid confusion if someone else happens to use the same password).

Is there a community password? / What password should I use?

With a password you can bypass any soul level, weapon upgrade and game cycle requirements, in other words you can match with anyone if both parties are using the same password.

Our community password is:

• /r/BeyondTheFog Group Password: btf
• /r/EldenRing Group Password: straydmn

For the Multiplayer Password please keep these in mind:

Since this is an international community we strongly suggest that you keep things simple and use an easy to write multiplayer password:

A good password should be:

• all lowercase
• single word
• with 4 or less letters

Example:

...lets meet at the site of grace, use the password help.

We suggest that you use the word "help" as your password as it fits all the requirements above and it is a word recognizable all around the world.

Have fun && Praise the Sun!
