Elden Ringchallenges are getting a little hard to top. After players beat the game’s nail-biting bosses with theirpet goldfish, aWiimote Greatsword, or byturning them all into Malenia- what can you possibly do to one-up them? One player is trying anyway with an “ALL HIT” run, and they’ve just beaten the boss that’s been absolutely wiping the floor withShadow of the Erdtreeentrants.
“You’ve all seen ‘No Hit’ runs of the DLC’s final boss,” YouTuber Recjawjindexplains, referring to the challenge runs where people play through the game without taking a single hit. “Now get ready for the opposite.” The video below shows the content creator making light work of the game’s final boss without dodging, blocking attacks, or healing with a flask. It’s quite literally all hits. Bewary of spoilers belowfor that boss if you’ve not already seen or fought it, though.
Be sure to stick around for the end to see our Tarnished literally chuck a pot at the dying god’s defeated body to really twist the knife in. What a sassy send off.
Over on Reddit, Recjawjind explains that they’re using a Crimson Bubbletear Physick Flask to automatically restore health right before the meteors burn through their health pool. A blessing boon also topped up the player’s health by regenerating 8 HP per second, which explains how they managed to get so effortlessly tanky.
Elsewhere,Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is back up to a ‘Mostly Positive’ reception on Steam after initial performance woes and difficulty complaints made the DLC debut to a ‘Mixed’ reception.
