An Elden Ring player has achieved the seemingly impossible and somehow managed to complete the game in just 2 and a half hours, all without dying.
FromSoftware's RPG Elden Ring continues to dominate the internet with players unable to get enough of the new game since its release on February 25. However, if you were hoping to play an easy fantasy game, then you are in for a bit of a shock. Elden Ring has already gained a reputation for its difficulty with many players still struggling to get past the first boss. The response was so overwhelming in fact, that the game's Director Hidetaka Miyazaki apologised to labouring players trying to plough through Elden Ring.
However, one Elden Ring player has put us all to shame by not only managing to beat the game without dying, but all within just over two and a half hours.
