The handshake deal in FromSoftware games, the obfuscated difficulty option that's always been there since Demon's Souls, is co-op: Summoning phantoms controlled by other players or the computer.

The Middle East-only card was briefly available for around $7,000, although prices have fluctuated since then and I've seen the odd second-hand model float around for way more than that.The good news is, the Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 Dhabab Core...
