FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has only been out for about two months, and players have already managed some pretty incredible in-game feats. From the notorious Let Me Solo Her who has likely single-handedly defeated Malenia, Blade of Miquella dozens of times to a player who beat a Putrid Tree Spirit using AI face tracking software and voice commands in lieu of a standard controller, there seem to be no limits to what the Elden Ring community can achieve. Arguably most impressive is a recent clip of a player no-hitting Margit on NG+7 by perfectly parrying at every opportunity.

Elden Ring First Boss Almost Took Inspiration From Dark Souls 1

Entering Margit’s arena nearly naked brandishing two katanas, the player barely needed to move as they flawlessly parried just about every move the boss made.

That’s undeniably impressive, but, given how tricky parrying can be, Paddy Vu’s accomplishment is worthy of equal
