Elden Ring Master Defeats All Bosses Without Attacking

Gamer Skumnut Achieves Unprecedented No-Hit Challenge

In a feat that redefines extreme gaming, a dedicated player has conquered Elden Ring’s formidable challenges by eschewing all offensive actions. This remarkable achievement pushes the boundaries of what’s considered possible within the notoriously difficult Soulslike genre.

The “Worst Boss Run” That Became Legend

Known by his online handle **Skumnut**, a prominent streamer and YouTuber, set out with the stated goal of creating the most time-consuming boss run imaginable. His unconventional method involved a complete refusal to attack any of Elden Ring’s 207 bosses, including those from its expansions.

Damage Through Defense: An Ingenious Strategy

Instead of wielding weapons, **Skumnut** opted for a defensive approach. He utilized the Briar set armor, which inflicts minor damage on opponents when the wearer performs an evade, specifically a jump. This unique tactic, paired with a single-use Rupture Crystal Tear per encounter, proved effective.

The entire undertaking, described as “inhumane” by observers, concluded in just 57 hours. This duration is notably faster than many playthroughs using conventional combat methods, highlighting the sheer efficiency of **Skumnut**’s extreme strategy.

Cult Status and Player Reactions

The full challenge has been documented in a popular YouTube video, quickly achieving cult status within the dedicated Soulslike community. The creator himself humorously noted his intention to “waste as much time as possible,” a sentiment that resonated with the game’s notoriously challenging nature.

Many players are captivated by such innovative approaches to familiar games. For instance, the speedrunning community consistently finds new ways to complete games, with some Elden Ring speedrunners finishing the game in under 10 minutes using optimized glitches and strategies, demonstrating the diverse ways players engage with titles (Speedrun.com).

The creator’s unconventional success has garnered widespread admiration, though a cautionary note is often added: “don’t try it at home.”

Marquez wins again and increases the advantage in the standings

(Paolo Lorenzi) There was no doubt, as it had gone in the past and how they went Sprint tests and race on the weekend. Marc Marquez resumed Sachsenring (where he had not left two years ago and had closed according to the slope year): his track. “Danke Sachsenring,” joked the king of the German circuit. “We are halfway through the way, I must still stay concentrated,” said Marc. It is difficult to think that someone can really undermine his primacy in the standings: 83 points on the second and 147 on the third. For the umpteenth time, his brother Alex ended behind him (15 times second out of 22 departures this year), despite being fresh from intervention on his left hand, fractured in Assen. Not even the third place of Bagnaia surprises (seven podiums here), if it were not that Pecco got it by virtue of the falls of Bezzecchi and Giannantonio, in front of him.

The two compatriots have self -elywed by a race that could bring them to the podium. By Giannantonio to the eighteenth passage, three laps after Romagna. Huge regret thinking about the race they were doing, especially Marco who started from the third box, had spotted the departure and ran on the wave of the second place conquered the day before in the sprint race. Fabio could count on the pass sported in trial (on Friday he had signed the new record of the circuit, trimming four tenths to Marc Marquez). Same dynamic: both fell to the braking at the bottom of the straight, critical point, the scene of different falls. Many, too many: eighteen lined up at the start (on a grid of 22) only ten have reached the finish line. Yesterday the list of starters had lost Vinales in qualifying and Morbidelli in the race; Bastianini had not even reached Germany due to a suspected appendicitis, Chantra was operated on the knee four days earlier. Today they ended up in the gravel, in addition to the two Italians, also Ogura, Acosta, Zarco, Mir, Oliveira and Savadori.
