A skilledElden Ringplayer has somehow managed to beat the game while all of The Land Between’s enemies are completely invisible to them. And you thought it was hard enough on a normal playthrough, huh?
Even though Elden Ring is coming up to its second anniversary,it feels like we can’t go more than a week without some talented player managing to beat the game in a new weird way. In the last month alone,we’ve had players getting through the game with a violin,by only using bubbles,while rolling in real life, and, somehow,by using Morse code.
Well,with Shadow of the Erdtree seemingly having entered the “Quality Assessment” stage, what better way is there to celebrate than with another weird and wonderful Elden Ring challenge? The latest strange playthrough that will have you questioning why you can’t even get up to Malenia,let alone take her down by using a goldfish, comes from Twitter user BioticNova, who somehow finished the game with every enemy being invisible.
That’s right, despite Elden Ring being an incredibly tough time for most players when they can actuallyseewhat’s coming their way,BioticNova somehow managed to get through while fighting enemies that she couldn’t even see. BioticNova didn’t share any details on how long the run took overall, but we do know that it’s taken at least a few weeks,as they first shared a clip of the playthrough towards the end of January.
The clip shared on Twitter above shows her fighting the game’s final boss, Elden Beast, and managing to defeat them despite not being able to see where they are and what kind of attack they’re going to do. In the case of the Elden Beast, it seems that she’s relying on its movements being shown through ripples in the water, but even with that visual clue it still requires a ton of knowledge about Elden Ring and its many challenging bosses.
“Yay, we beat Elden Ring while everything is invisible. And we still didn’t get a stagger from Elden Beast!”
Although BioticNova’s playthrough is incredibly impressive (especially to me, who got stuck at Fire Giant), it’s worth noting that itcanactually be topped, as it appears that she took a little bit of damage while fighting some of the bosses. That’s to be expected when you can’t even bloody see them, but I bet that someone out there is going to try and attempt without taking any damage at all.
