Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtreespoilers ahead! Turn back now if you’d rather not see the expansion’s final boss before clawing your way to it in-game.
TheElden Ringmusician who became theworld’s first player to complete a no-hit run using a non-traditional controllerhas now turned their gaze toward Shadow of the Erdtree.
Content creator Dr. DeComposing previouslyused nothing but a saxophoneto complete the entirety ofFromSoftware’s notoriously hard open-worlder, even going so far as to achieve the first-ever “hitless doot run.” FromSoft bosses might be tough, but they’re nothing compared to the power of the almighty doot.
Dr. DeComposing has now beaten the expansion’s final boss, Radahn the Consort of Miquella, on New Game Plus while using the same magical tools. He tweets that he uses an electric saxophone, a Roland Aerophone-AE10, for the playthrough, and you can see him triumph with the silver weapon in the video below.
Over onsocial media, Dr. DeComposing elaborates that he’s now using a Great Katana and Deflecting Hardtear Only setup “for all you Dueling Shield haters,” since that’s the weapon he used in his first go around. He’s now starting a RL1 (Rune Level 1) run of Shadow of the Erdtree using the same sax-controlled setup.
Shadow of the Erdtree’s arrival has spawned a boatload of new and absurdly impressive challenges. One playerbegan the Elden Ring DLC at level 1 with no gearafter methodically planning the route to the Land of Shadow. Another spent 800 hours in the expansion’s opening areato prepare for the “perfect playthrough.“And onedisabled Elden Ring player used one finger and his voiceto conquer the base game’s Malenia.
Check outthe 8-year-old Elden Ring player who conquered Radahn on his first attempt.
