Discover how Elden Ring's group password mechanic grants free +5% Golden Rune boosts every time a fellow community member beats a demigod or major boss.
Open the game pause menu -> navigate to 'Multiplayer' -> press Triangle on PlayStation or Y on Xbox to open the Sub-Menu.
Do NOT enter text into the top 'Multiplayer Password' unless playing exclusively with a friend. Instead, fill all 5 'Group Password' slots with: SEEKERS, straydmn, fcls, fcld, KINDRED.
Whenever someone in those groups slays a boss (like Malenia, Radahn, or Messmer), your character glows with a gold aura and receives an active +5% Rune acquisition multiplier.
The +5% group buff stacks multiplicatively with the Gold Scarab talisman (+20%) and Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot consumable (+30%), letting you gain over 60% extra Runes per kill!
No. Group Passwords have zero negative effects on enemy health, poise, or invasion frequencies.
