Elden Ring Player Beats Godfrey With Crafted Items

gamerant.com:

In a memorable encounter with Godfrey, First Elden Lord, one Elden Ring player conquered the boss using only the crafted items in their inventory. There are countless powerful weapons and spells for Tarnished to enjoy during their playthrough meaning that crafted items tend to be left by the wayside. By the time Elden Ring players get to their third or fourth playthrough, they often look for creative ways to beat the already familiar bosses. Challenge runs like these inspire players to make the game as difficult as possible, and allow them to try out every item in the game regardless of its usefulness. Occasionally, an unconventional style like this can show the functionality and practicality of some of the lesser-used strategies in the game.

Crafted items and pots definitely deserve a place in every character's build. The abundance of materials makes creating items painless, and the benefits outweigh the cost. Many players hoard consumable items because they are unsure when to use them or if they will be able to replenish their supplies. However, that is typically not a problem with most crafted items in Elden Ring. Finding cookbooks in the Lands Between allows players to craft different items, such as pots or Throwing Daggers. Pots can be especially useful for players who do not have access to a specific damage type or status effect due to their build. Lightning and Scarlet Rot can both be used in pots if the player has the cookbook and materials needed. These items can give any build diversity with relative ease.
