I'm ready for Elden Ring's DLC, but not as ready as this Dark Souls streamer who beat the whole action RPG at level 1 multiple times from NG to NG+7 without ever dying

While Elden Ring players were preparing for Shadow of the Erdtree to finally release, one hardened FromSoftware stan managed to one-up everyone by beating the action RPG eight times without leveling up - or dying.

Streamer itzCBD has gone ahead and pulled off the seemingly impossible, apparently becoming the first ever Elden Ring player to beat the game at level one through every single New Game Plus difficulty with zero deaths. This makes for eight full runs of an already challenging game, all made even more taxing thanks to the lack of leveling and each NG+ mode's gradual increase in difficulty. CBD also chooses to start as a Wretch, Elden Ring's own version of Dark Souls' Deprived class, which puts him at a greater disadvantage.
