Less than two weeks after release, prolific Elden Ring challenge runner beats Nightreign using only a shield, and he's not done yet: "We could’ve got hitless"

Elden Ring Nightreign.

FromSoftware releases a new game, the community finds obscene ways to complete it; such is the circle of life. A player has become the first to beat Elden Ring Nightreign solo using only a shield, getting remarkably close to doing so without taking a single hit to boot, less than two weeks after launch.

The feat comes from beloved Elden Ring 'sicko' Skumnut, who's known for daring accomplishments within the fantasy RPG. This one is simple: complete a run of Nightreign alone, with nothing more than a shield for offense. Sicko indeed.
