Elden Ring is a notoriously difficult game, just like most of FromSoftware's library. To complete Elden Ring, players have to conquer all kinds of hazards and dangerous enemies, many of which are very capable of taking out the player character with relative ease. Elden Ring players have to find suitable equipment and level up appropriately if they hope to defeat the many enemies that roam the Lands Between, but one player has decided to do the exact opposite.

YouTuber Iron Pineapple wanted to see if it was possible to beat Elden Ring without directly attacking any enemies, and as it turns out, it can be done. Iron Pineapple shared their incredible Elden Ring pacifist run in a video that explained how exactly they managed to pull it off. It should be noted that the Elden Ring bosses still technically have to die for players to complete the game, but the player character doesn't have to be the one to directly deal damage.

As proven by Iron Pineapple's video, these spirits are actually capable of killing the Elden Ring bosses on their own.
