Elden Ring challenge streamer DrDeComposing has forced Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss to sit down and face the music by defeating the monstrous enemy while using the doots from an electric saxophone to control his Tarnished warrior.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware certainly didn’t pull any punches when setting the difficulty of Elden Ring’s first and only piece of DLC. The time following Shadow of the Erdtree’s June 21 launch has seen countless players struggle with the extreme challenge posed by the new content. Their plight has triggerest the creation of a slew of mods designed to make the DLC easier, along with the release of an official update that rebalanced the DLC's difficulty scaling system.
Warning: mild spoilers for Shadow of the Erdtree follow.
The final boss of the DLC — Promised Consort Radahn — represents a particularly brutal challenge, which is arguably up there with the toughest any FromSoftware game has to offer. Radahn ranked top in IGN’s list of the toughest Shadow of the Erdtree bosses, with even legendary Elden Ring co-op hero ‘Let Me Solo Her’ — now 'Let Me Solo Him' — admitting that his hands were shaking upon finally putting the monstrous boss down.
And yet a Twitch streamer going by the name DrDeComposing has managed to dispatch the Super Saiyan-esque version of Radahn using a modified electric saxophone as a controller, after only a dozen attempts.
Everyone was telling me how utterly impossible the Final Boss of Shadow of the Erdtree was going to be. Outrageous moveset, impossible dodges, etc
...
It only took me a dozen attempts on the saxophone.
THE WORLD'S FIRST (afaik) ALT CONTROLLER DLC RUN HAS BEEN DOOTED!
