Elden Ring masochist uses one "horrible spell" for the most tedious Shadow of the Erdtree challenge I've ever seen by rolling into bosses a zillion times

Messmer the Impaler, one of the main bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Twitch streamer and YouTuber skum recently completed what might be the most ridiculous Shadow of the Erdtree challenge yet. He was able to beat the DLC after using only dodge abilities, one F-tier spell, and suffering 45 deaths. 

"Yesterday, I became the first person in the world to beat the Elden Ring DLC using Mantle of Thorns/Briar Armor only and just rolling into all the bosses," skum wrote July 15 on X. "Horrible spell, would not recommend."
