You don't need Scadutree Blessings to beat Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, as long as you're prepared to match this streamer's 516-death, 16-hour attempt at the final boss

The Dancing Lion boss stares into the camera in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Ever since Elden Ring's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, launched last month, one main piece of advice has been shared over and over again – use your dang Scadutree Blessings. However, one streamer has now proven that you don't need to use any at all, as long as you have an enormous amount of patience.

The expansion-exclusive upgrades make a massive difference when it comes to resisting hits from the Realm of Shadow's tough foes, as well as dealing damage back to them. They're so important that developer FromSoftware even went as far as to tell us exactly where one of the early ones is in an official post on how to strengthen your character. However, streamer MissMikkaa clearly took that as a challenge, because she's now defeated every single DLC boss without upgrading her Blessing level at all. Yep, even that one. Beware, there are spoilers ahead for Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss.
