After 3 weeks and 115 attempts, Elden Ring sicko becomes the "first in the world" and "probably the last" to complete a no-hit run at uncapped NG+1,000

Elden Ring.

Almost three years after its release, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Elden Ring players had already pushed challenge runs to their absolute limit, but one streamer continues to prove that's not true, with their recent "first in the world" New Game+1,000 no-hit run one that they think might never be replicated.

We've been covering Skumnut's antics for some time now, and whether the streamer has been slaying a ridiculously beefed-up Messmer without taking a single hit, or charging through the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC modified to be harder than it was ever supposed to be, there's been a recurring theme – uncapped NG+1,000. Despite its reputation for making hard games, developer FromSoftware normally takes a bit of pity on players keen to start multiple New Game+ runs of Elden Ring, because while it'll get continually harder with each new run for a while, NG+7's difficulty is the limit – things don't get any trickier than that. That is if you don't remove the limits like Skumnut, however. As the streamer explains, the result at NG+1,000 is every single boss in the game having over 500K HP and incredibly high resistances, making them ridiculously robust as well as super deadly.
