An Elden Ring streamer has managed to beat the game using only the rear of the Tarnished. FromSoftware's latest title has been turning heads for almost two months since its release, and in that short time, fans have searched high and low for the quickest or most interesting way to beat the game. With Elden Ring speed-runs being completed in under 10 minutes, it's clear that players have pretty much mastered efficiency, but it will be interesting to see if anyone can find a stranger way of beating the main game than using only a butt-slam attack.
Throughout Elden Ring, there is a wide range of items, spells, and abilities to discover, and also some really weird weapons. Elden Ring offers players an incredible amount of choice regarding how they build their character, and which weapons they prefer to use to tackle the difficult boss battles ahead. There are many spells and abilities to use and players have discovered that mastering the use of certain attacks could carry them all the way through the game's story. And some are strangely effective.
As shared on Game Rant, a streamer known as Distortion2 has posted a video of their Elden Ring playthrough while only using a single attack. The attack comes from the Ash of War named Ground Slam, which causes the Tarnished to jump in the air and use their butt to slam down on the ground causing damage to enemies close by. Popular streamer Distortion2's conquest of the Lands Between using only the Ground Slam ability took just over two hours to complete as all the main Elden Ring bosses fell to the butt-bashing Tarnished.
While Distortion2's butt-only playthrough is incredibly entertaining to watch, it's also an impressive performance. With many of the attacks on Elden Ring, there are some fairly long animations before actually landing a hit, as is the case with the Ash of War: Ground Slam. Timing is everything in Elden Ring and mastering the timing of a move can mean the difference between death and domination in a battle against the Shard-bearers. Distortion2 has certainly shown that with enough practice, the game can indeed be beaten by a single move.
Elden Ring is clearly a game with many secrets to uncover and fans are always searching for new and interesting ways to play the game. Some players would prefer to use their butt to kill enemies and some have even attempted to complete Elden Ring by killing as little as possible. Players can truly tackle this game any way they want to and it probably won't be long before another player shows everyone an even stranger way to conquer Elden Ring than sitting on all the enemies.
