Elden Ring player becomes the first to beat every New Game+ difficulty back to back without getting hit, in an 8-playthrough run that somehow took under 12 hours

Three years on from the launch of Elden Ring, you'd have thought players would have exhausted every challenge run they could possibly take on, but that's clearly not the case, with one noble Tarnished achieving a seriously impressive world first in a back-to-back hitless gauntlet.

Twitch streamer and Dark Souls extraordinaire itzCBD has taken on a lot of brutal challenges across FromSoftware's relentlessly difficult action RPGs, and the latest is so brutal that no one else has accomplished it before. Not only has the streamer completed Elden Ring without getting hit, he's done it eight times in a row – completing the game over and over from regular New Game until the end of NG+7, where the difficulty is scaled as high as it can possibly go without the use of mods.
