A player in Elden Ring cleverly used the Giant Rat Ashes to defeat Sir Gideon Ofnir without taking any damage. Elden Ring offers a variety of unique character builds that combine different attributes like Dexterity, Strength, and Intelligence, allowing players to customize their playstyle. Moreover, players can adapt these builds to suit their preferred approach when battling enemies. With a wide range of items available, Elden Ring empowers players to unleash their creativity and modify their combat style. Although there are some limitations, the game grants players the freedom to create unconventional character builds. Since its release in 2022, Elden Ring players have been sharing their most innovative builds, showcasing characters with enhanced strength and resilience. Recently, one imaginative player transformed their Tarnished character into the well-known Dark Souls' Giant Dad, which has now become a popular meme.
A user named PalpitationWitty8195 shared a unique build on the Elden Ring subreddit, showcasing their creation without spending any runes. The focal point of this build is the Giant Rat Ashes, which can be used to summon three rats that excel in fast attacks. Upgrading the Giant Rat Ashes is free, and there is no need for focus points to summon the spirits. Furthermore, as the Giant Rat Ashes are upgraded, the number of summoned rats increases.
The player also effectively utilized the Ash of War: Spinning Slash on a Grave Scythe weapon. This combination, along with the rats, allowed PalpitationWitty8195 to defeat Sir Gideon Ofnir in just 10 seconds. Sir Gideon Ofnir serves as the initial boss encounter when players return to Lyndell in Elden Ring. Although he is a formidable sorcerer, he has the lowest health among all the game's bosses. Players need to be cautious of his Sorceries that inflict Magic and Holy damage.
Since its release, Elden Ring has provided gamers with ample opportunities to explore unique and unconventional build options in The Lands Between. One such build, affectionately referred to as the "Squidward build," offers players a musical twist to their boss battles, enhancing the overall combat experience. This build showcases various items that can be discovered in the untamed wilderness, like the formidable Great Hammer weapon and the invaluable Envoy's Long Horn. Elden Ring is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
