- Warning: Massive spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
The new Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, has caused a huge stir among players. Difficulty and performance have once again been the main topics of criticism, although this time they managed to lower the game's ratings on Steam. Luckily, they have recovered at the time of writing this post.
While a good number of people were complaining, another has decided to take the path of true madness. We already told you a few hours ago that a content creator has defeated the first two bosses using only her mind. This is only the beginning, because there are players who have already managed to defeat many bosses without taking damage, even the final boss of the DLC.
Let's start with someone well known: Esoterickk on YouTube. This content creator is famous for making no-hit and no-damage bosses in many games, including soulslikes. Regarding this DLC, he has uploaded 11 videos, which include the Divine Beast Dancing Lion, Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, several dragons and the Knight of Solitude.
Just do a quick search on YouTube to see that some players have already bypassed the final boss of the DLC: Radahn, Consort of Miquella. Not only have they defeated him by doing no-hit and no-damage, but they have also self-imposed other restrictions such as no parrys, invocations, magic and even Level 1. The video of the latter is on the BiliBili platform. It hasn't even been a week since the DLC was released.
