Summary
Elden Ringplayers love a challenge. As if the base game and theShadow of the Erdtree DLCweren’t difficult enough, gamers are constantly innovating on new ways to punish themselves.
Let Me Solo Herwas one of the originators in FromSoftware’s latest title, offering themselves up to beat Malenia wearing just a pot helmet, but others havebeaten the game eight times in a row at level onewithout dying, and have usedMorse code,a dance mat,their voice, andtheir mindsto play through the game.
The latest feat of… stupidity, may yet be the game’s greatest, though, as a player has beaten Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree with just 1HP, 1FP, and One Stamina.
Streamer Beats Elden Ring DLC In The Wildest Circumstances
StreamerAinrunset themselves the challenge of beating Elden Ring’s brutally difficult DLC with the lowest health, focus points, and stamina possible, a feat that they achieved in a time just shy of 55 hours.
The challenge culminated in just under 1,900 deaths, with Promised Consort Radahn causing the bulk of Ainrun’s pain.
The streamer shared that the DLC’s final boss took over 20 hours to beat and was responsible for around half of their deaths during the treacherous run.
The single stamina was the worst part.
Upon landing the killer blow, Ainrun can be seen falling off their chair, screaming, “Oh my god,” with a voice of pure relief.
In afollow-up tweet, Ainrun shared that “The single stamina was the worst part. You can’t chain actions like spam rolls or do combos because every action takes stamina and goes to the negative. You need to wait a whole second for your stamina to go back to the positive before you can do another action. The 1FP meant I couldn’t cheese bosses or use Ash of Wars or anything.”
He claims the attempt was the first in the world in Shadow of the Erdtree, with two previous streamers beating the challenge with the base game.
