Summary
Elden Ringplayers have been trying to one up each other ever since the game was released back in 2022, and it’s the exact same inShadow of the Erdtree. Those that beat the game with bananas, dance pads, andtheir voice are back at it again with the DLC, as are the people that maketaking down bosses in one hitlook like a pleasant gaming session.
In the base game, people tested their prowess against Malenia, but now it’s Radahn and Miquella’s turn in Shadow of the Erdtree. He’s alreadybeen beaten to a pulp by Let Me Solo Her,destroyed by a level one character, hadone of his strongest moves countered, and been generally embarrassed more times than you can count, but he truly didn’t stand a chance against the antics ofa Twitch streamer called Ainrun.
Announced via his personal Twitter account, Ainrun shares his “magnum opus,” which happens to be a short clip of him dealing a whopping 105,000 damage to Radahn in one hit, killing him so hard that he simply drops dead after the cutscene that launches him into his second phase. Most of the clip consists of Ainrun preparing, taking all kinds of consumables and swapping gear to get the most buff he can before dealing the killing blow to Radahn.
Elden Ring Player Manages To One Shot Radahn In Shadow Of The Erdtree
You honestly have to have a degree in Elden Ring item usage to be able to tell what exactly Ainrun is using to achieve this feat, but I will try my best. In the video, we see Ainrun under the effects of a Lulling Branch for constant sleep buildup, and then uses Seppuku twice to trigger blood loss, presumably to activate the 20 percent damage increase from the Lord of Blood’s Exultation talisman and 10 percent increase from the White Mask helm.
He then drinks his Wondrous Physick (lord knows what’s in there) and then pops a Frenzyflame Stone and eats a Sacred Bloody Flesh and Bloodboil Aromatic for more attack boosts. He then uses that Rallying Standard ability attached to the Commander’s Standard for yet another attack boost, before Frenzy and Sleep procs, the former waking him up from the latter. He then switches to the Kindred of Rot Exultation talisman and eats a Raw Meat Dumpling to proc poison and get another 20 percent damage boost.
Still with me? He then uses Seppuku again for another bleed damage boost and then uses the Soul Stifler ability from the Winged Greathorn weapon right outside the gate to do more damage to Radahn after he charges. He then switches out some talismans far too quickly for my mortal eyes to see before walking into the arena. Radahn charges, Ainrun hits him with a charge, a two-handed counterstrike, and over 100,000 damage is dealt. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go lie down.
