So Elden Ring has been around a little while and that’s given some people some time to establish themselves as accomplishers of insane feats.
Hi folks, it’s Falcon at today on gameranx
10 crazy things that Elden
Ring players have done.
Starting off at number 10.
This fan imagined DLC.
This is pretty amazing.
Artist Eugenia Lysa took one
really obscure piece of lore
and managed to spin it into
an entire proposal for a DLC.
For most people that like
amounts to theory crafting
but she went way beyond that creating
arts, environments, NPCs.
Did this stuff
in Unreal Engine 5 to
illustrate the ideas.
The whole thing’s based off
the Chanting Winged Dame
enemies, who sing a
song in Latin that fans
have actually taken the time
to translate in English.
The song’s about as vague as you’d expect
but the creator here uses it
as a starting point to propose it
to potential DLC where you
explore the past, interact
with new NPC, fighting new monsters.
These are all new designs
that are really well rendered.
The artwork alone is impressive.
The whole thing’s a total flight of fancy
but with so many lingering
mysteries left to
explore in Elden Ring fans
kind of wanna imagine what
the DLC could possibly be.
The whole video’s basically
Elden Ring fan fiction
but it’s just really impressive,
what fan fiction can be at this point.
Moving on to number nine.
Some really cool Elden Ring demakes.
The growing trend of demakes
or remaking games as if
they were on older consoles
with less powerful hardware,
it’s still going pretty strong.
And we’ve got two really
impressive ones to show you here.
The first is the SNES demake
by 64 bits that shows
multiple bosses rendered
into like a 32 bit style.
Looks a lot like the
Quintet trilogy of games
definitely a positive in my book.
Another really cool one is a PS1
demake created by Hoolopee,
which interprets various scenes
from the trailer as his
in-game PS1 graphics similar
to like Vagrant story. But obviously
at a scale that PS1 games
couldn’t even begin to imagine.
Like these aren’t actual games
like the Bloodborne PS1 demake that came
out earlier this year.
They’re just YouTube videos meant
as a sort of proof of concept,
but still really impressive.
Good works of art.
And number eight beating
Margit using a harp
as a controller.
Now people beating games
using unconventional
controllers is kind of a big thing now.
Elden Ring is obviously no stranger
to it at this point.
With people beating it
using stuff like Rock Band
controllers that like baby toys
and people have actually
beaten it with bananas.
I think we’ve covered other
dark souls games being beaten
by a potato if I remember right.
Somehow Anna Ellsworth
a harpist, a person who
plays a harp managed to
beat the first major boss
of the game, using a harp
as a controller with a
level one character really
really just to test themselves.
As you’re all probably aware
at this point, beating
Margit is no easy feat.
The guy’s incredibly challenging
using a regular controller
and controllers are designed
to actually beat games with
you know, so beating them using
a harp’s pretty impressive.
Just trying to understand how exactly they
manage to register notes
as button commands is making my head spin.
In an interview with Kotaku,
they explained everything
they had to do to get this set
up to work.
And (blows raspberry) it’s
complicated to say the least.
So they had to convert the audio
from the harp into key strokes.
Each one, performing a specific action.
It’s really unintuitive.
So the fact they’re able to
do it to beat even one boss
or I don’t know, walk from point
A to point B is impressive.
And Anna intends to beat
the entire game this way.
And as of this video, they
managed to get to Rennala.
So it’s definitely slow going
but with a controller
like that, I, I, I get it.
You know, I’m not like, oh man,
you should be going faster.
No, I get it.
And number seven, beating
the entire game overloaded.
Probably one of the
more important mechanics
of Elden Ring is the encumbrance system
depending on how heavy the weapons
and armor you’re wearing
are can effect dodge, speed
and stamina, regeneration, et cetera.
Worst of all is overloaded.
When you got equipment that
exceeds your maximum stamina.
In that state, you can’t
run, you can’t jump,
you can’t dodge.
Whether that be wrenches or
balls, neither is an option.
So you’d think
that the game is basically
impossible to finish.
Some people see the impossible
and view it as a challenge
Iron Pineapple, being one person.
In this 35 minute video
they go through everything
they had to do to play
through the entire game overloaded.
To make it so they were overloaded
for literally the entire game.
They moded in weapons to add
weight to their character.
And from there, they went
through the entire game with
the challenge to never jump,
never run and never dodge
ever.
They didn’t even use the spirit stead
unless it was required
just to make things harder.
They did cheat a little
bit using the quick step
skill occasionally
and jumping so they could get
the fingerprint stone shield
which is a little disappointing
cuz that shield isn’t necessary.
It just kind of made
the run a little easier.
I’ll say when you’re doing
something as crazy as this
I kind of give Iron
Pineapple a little slack.
So I don’t consider it that big of a deal.
So there are a few things
that could make someone
pick this run apart, but
it’s still, in my opinion
a pretty amazing achievement and crazy.
And number six, climbed
the giant rotted tree
in the swamp of Aeonia.
You know that gigantic rotted tree
and Caelid the one that’s
so twisted and gnarled
it seems like it wouldn’t
be possible to climb.
Yeah. Most people see that and go, wow
well you can’t climb that.
But if there’s even a
1% chance that you can
then somebody out there is gonna try
and people love Elden Ring.
They love trying to do the
impossible crap in Elden Ring.
So this video posted
by Fire Bear on Reddit
shows them climbing all the
way to the top of the tree.
Like there’s obviously
nothing to find up there
but the achievement alone is crazy enough.
It takes pixel perfect
precision to nail a lot
of these jumps.
And if you’ve played enough of this game
you know how awkward the jumping is when
it’s really requiring the accuracy.
So the fact they managed
to climb this thing
is a minor miracle.
I know there’s nothing at the top.
There’s no achievement
or anything, but I think
that there should probably be some kind
of like retroactive thing given
to this guy cuz it’s, it’s insane.
And number five created
the ultimate Battle
Royal of animals.
Now people have used mods to get bosses
to fight each other and, in truth
that mostly makes sense.
They wanna see some of
the main bosses throw
down with each other and see who wins.
Duh!
A battle for the ages, right?
That’s expected.
This is a little more unusual
titled The Ultimate Battle
Royal of Animals, BjornTheBear summoned 21
different field animals
to fight each other.
Now there’s understandable stuff here.
Like the giant land octopus
the malformed star, the
basilisk, the farum azula dragon
but there’s some pretty
crazy stuff like Miriel
pastor of vows, AKA the
turtle Pope in there.
So it’s a crazy concept.
That’s actually pretty fun to watch.
Probably the most amazing moment happens
at the end of the second round where three
of the four final remaining
monsters managed to
kill themselves at the
same time, leaving Miriel
the only one standing.
The turtle won by literally doing nothing.
And number four fighting
the bosses blindfolded
like I’ve already mentioned a
few different challenge runs
of Elden Ring on this list
but this one’s completely crazy.
A speedrunner by the name of star0chris
challenged themselves to beat every boss
in the game while blindfolded.
And considering how
tough they are normally,
it’s pretty impressive.
To make it more impressive
they somehow manage to beat these guys
with no summons and no range attacks.
It’s basically like zero
crutches and they have no choice
but to get in close
and fight them normally
with a blindfold on.
They pretty much work entirely
on sound cues and intuition
and the results are amazing.
Watching some of these videos
it’s hard to tell they’re
actually even playing blindfolded.
It’s kind of nuts.
As this writing star0chris
hasn’t beaten every boss
but they’ve gotten up to Hoarah
Loux and that’s impressive.
I, I have no doubt star0chris
is gonna eventually
pull it out.
And number three
somebody built a wandering
mausoleum out of Lego bricks.
So this is maybe less crazy done
in game and more, just crazy in general.
But the work that Redditor HoboSapient put
in this giant walking
mausoleum is incredible.
Like it’s a shockingly
accurate representation of
I guess one of those things,
I, I don’t know what else to call them,
creatures?
It’s about 5,000 to 6,000
pieces weighs 30 pounds.
And that’s absolutely
nuts for a Lego build.
Many of the comments
under this one have people
asking the original poster to
post the thing on Lego ideas
which is a place where you can vote
on Fan made projects to turn
into actual Lego products.
According to a Reddit comment, djc6535
“If you did that, it would be
like a 500 to $600 set,” which is nuts.
So the actual piece count
would have to be shaved
down just a little bit
to make it something fans
could actually buy, but it’s
still an amazing achievement.
And number two, somebody
actually beat this game
at level one without taking any damage.
There’s an entire movement
of people out there
trying to beat Elden Ring
without getting hit or dying.
One of the most famous though is Happy Hob
someone who is well known for playing
the entire dark soul series
without getting hit at all.
They manage that feat
in Elden Ring as well.
And it’s just as crazy
as in any of those games,
if not more, but get this
like this article from
Kotaku highlighted one
runner named Ainrun who managed
to do the impressive feat
of beating the game at level
one while taking no damage
also killing the first
boss, the grafted scion
like a lot of speed runs
opt to skip that fight
because it’s one that
players are meant to lose
but it’s technically possible to beat it.
So the fact Ainrun managed
a complete boss run instead
of dying in that boss arena should be seen
as more impressive depending
on what no hit means to you
but like doing it at level one
without taking any hits
is just totally insane.
And finally beating the game
in less than five minutes.
Like first off beat the game
skillfully is one thing, but
beating it fast is another.
This is a game
with a standard play time
of around a hundred hours.
But with the right application
of glitches, exploits
and pure skill players have
managed to finish it in
under five minutes.
And they keep bringing that number lower.
The article we’re referencing
is from July 19th.
In August at the time of
this video’s recording
the lowest time we were able to find was
a shocking three minutes and
56 seconds by Hyp3rsomniac.
It’s only been about a month
and they manage to shave
over a minute off of the five minute time.
Which the five minute times totally nuts
who knows how fast they’re gonna beat it
in a few more months.
I don’t know.
And a quick bonus, we
can’t mention crazy things
Elden Ring players have done
without bringing up this absolute hero.
Let Me Solo Her was created
by player with a single goal
helping finish the toughest
boss fights ever created
by from software naked, with only a pot
on their heads and to overpower weapons.
This is a player dedicated
to helping people out.
According to an article
from Kotaku they’ve killed
Malenia, like thousands of times.
They’re so famous in the community that
Elden Ring’s publisher Bandai Namco
has actually sent them a gift
as a reward for their service,
including an actual sword.
Let Me Solo Her is really just a legend
among souls game fans.
Both for their generous spirit
and incredibly weird appearance.
And there’s a duelist out there
you can summon at the big elevator
at the academy entrance simply
called the Lift Inspector.
If you manage to summon ’em, they run
over to the lift and get to work
inspecting chains with the spyglass,
hammering out any imperfections
and then even employing a
drill to really fix things up.
Of course they’re not
actually doing anything.
It’s just some random person
role playing the character
of a lift mechanic.
Most people want to be
the heroes of legend
but not this guy.
He just wants to be a
humble lift inspector.
And that’s all for today.
