After 967 deaths, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree player takes the 'no Scadutree blessing' challenge to the next level by beating the entire DLC on uncapped NG +1,000

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree final boss Radahn stares into the camera, holding a sword in each hand.

If you thought Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was hard, one player has taken it to the next level by defeating the entire expansion on uncapped New Game+ 1,000 – a terrifying, souped-up difficulty level that allows enemies to deal "millions" of damage.

While Elden Ring gets progressively harder on New Game+ runs – with enemy health, resistances, and attack power increased – FromSoftware capped this scaling at NG +7, so there's a limit in place when it comes to how hard things can get. Even if you went all the way to NG +100, it'd be no harder than +7. That's usually the case, anyway, but Twitch streamer Skumnut decided to release these shackles and give the game a go at NG +1,000. That's four digits of extra difficulty, which, as the streamer explains on Twitter, gives every boss 500,000 health, ridiculously high resistances, and a lethal amount of attack power.
