By default, ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is set up for play with two other randomly selected players. However, it’s quite simple to play the game with one other player.
Let’s get right to the explanation.
Starting a Duo Expedition
All players are always solo when in the Roundtable Hold, even if they’re online. The only time you need to change your settings to play with another player is when you start an expedition.
From the main Roundtable Hold hub, approach the table and activate the expedition interface using the button prompt
Use the button prompts at the top of the list to switch from the “Target” tab to the “Matchmaking Setting” tab.
Then select the “Number of Players” you’d like to begin your expedition with, this is where you can define a password for inviting 1 to 2 friends or use multiple community passwords for priority random matchmaking with other players in the same community.
Then, you go back to the “Target” tab and “Commence Expedition” in solo, duo or with 2 other players.
The game will remember your settings, so until you change something, all your future expeditions will begin as single player expeditions.
If you happen to start a multiplayer expedition, don’t worry.
You can easily cancel out before matchmaking is complete by opening the same interface from the Roundtable Hold table and selecting “Cancel Expedition.”
Starting Offline
Playing ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN in offline mode is also a possibility. Using your option button, open the game’s main menu and navigate to the System settings tab, then navigate down to the globe icon labeled “Network.”
Here, change the third option from the top to “Play offline.”
You will still need to adjust your settings in the expedition menu, but if you try to begin a multiplayer expedition while offline, the game will warn you that this is not possible.
Follow these instructions to start a solo expedition simply and quickly.
