Elden Ring Player Only Using Spirit Ashes In Pokemon-Style Challenge Run
Elden Ring is tough as nails, but you can rope in friends and randoms to help out. One player even got famous for soloing the most difficult boss in the game for complete strangers.

Imagine Pokemon battles if the trainer continuously got caught in the crossfire - it'd probably be a less popular pastime. Regardless, the wolves eventually take down the boss, ending with all three still alive.
