The wait for Shadow of the Erdtree is getting intense. Over the past month, we've seen players beat Elden Ring bosses with bubbles, storm castles with nothing but one button and morse code, roll in real life every time they roll in-game, use a violin to string together attacks, and power through against invisible enemies. But it doesn't stop there.

"No dude, ugh my god. That attack is so weird," LilAggy said, taking it in his stride. "I think he got stuck - it looked weird. I always roll early on that attack."
They dubbed that video "The closest anyone has ever come to beating
