One Punch Build Kills Every Elden Ring Boss In One Hit
Elden Ring's boss fights can be long, drawn-out affairs where the player dodges and weaves, inflicting slices of damage wherever they can, and eventually emerging victorious after a grueling battle. Or they can last all of five seconds with the right ingredients. Work smarter, not harder, Tarnished.
