Despite the difficulty, some gamers have taken it upon themselves to conquer Elden Ring by imposing specific restrictions on their gameplay. For instance, some enthusiasts have successfully finished the game without ever leveling up, while another player accomplished the extraordinary task of completing it without engaging in any attacks. While certain methods rely on exploiting glitches, other players skillfully utilize the game's mechanics to their advantage, enabling them to overcome the formidable bosses. Now, a player of Elden Ring has emerged victorious using only a torch.

It was also mentioned that BartSimBro did not have any talismans equipped and opted for lighter armor to reduce overall weight.
In the comments section, many users congratulated BartSimBro for their achievement and made several fire-related jokes. Some fans even compared their own game builds with BartSimBro's. One user shared that they just completed Elden Ring using the Dark Moon Greatsword, while another gamer admitted struggling to defeat the boss even with heavy armor and a presumably massive weapon.
