An Elden Ring player has achieved an incredible feat by spending a whopping 15 hours to defeat the game's final boss. Although Elden Ring is considered to be comparatively easier than other FromSoftware titles, it remains an incredibly challenging game.
Despite its high level of difficulty, some players have taken on the challenge of completing Elden Ring in unique ways, by imposing restrictions on themselves to make the game even more challenging. For instance, an Elden Ring player managed to complete the game without ever leveling up, starting with one of the weakest classes in the game. Now, another Elden Ring fan has accomplished the seemingly impossible task of finishing the game, which took them over 15 hours to beat the final boss.
A Redditor by the name of Unfair-Background-15 has achieved a unique feat in Elden Ring - completing the entire game while dealing only one point of damage per hit. The player spent over five hours battling Radagon and over 15 hours fighting the Elden Beast using this tactic. The video footage shows the player rolling into enemies and dealing just one damage per hit. Unfair-Background-15 has been sharing their boss fights on the platform for some time now.
In April 2023, the player also uploaded a video of how they defeated Morgott in Elden Ring while dealing only one point of damage per roll. It took them over eight hours to beat the boss using this strategy. Unfair-Background-15 has shared the details of their tactic in the comments section of both posts, revealing that they equipped one piece of the Briar armor set, which allowed them to inflict one damage upon rolling.
Numerous Elden Ring enthusiasts have managed to defeat its final boss in unconventional methods, but Unfair-Background-15's strategy is undoubtedly the most laborious of them all. The player has affirmed that it took them approximately 400 hours to finish the playthrough using this approach, with the battle against the Fire Giant in Elden Ring taking over 40 hours throughout all endeavors.
Many gamers in the comment section have praised Unfair-Background-15 for accomplishing Elden Ring in this manner, and it seems like users have been tracking their progress for quite some time. A lot of players are also curious about what Unfair-Background-15 will do next, as they wonder about other absurd ways to conquer Elden Ring.
