Streamer obliterates Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss in one hit

Elden Ring :Shadow Of The Erdtree offers some of the biggest challenges in contemporary gaming for most players, but apparently not for Ainrun. The Twitch streamer spent more time buffing himself up than battling Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss, and was able to undo the DLC’s greatest challenge in one supermassive blow.

Big spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree’s big final boss below, naturally.

The final boss of Shadow Of The Erdtree is what the Internet has dubbed “Prime Radahn.” He’s stronger than his base game form; much, much, more resilient, and he even enlists the help of a god whose AOE turns the battle into a serious bullet hell challenge. Ainrun’s solution? Just stacking up on the most devastating buffs in the game to get the job done as quickly as possible.

You even see the custcene where Radahn summons Miquella for help, but by the time the cutscene ends, Radahn’s in-game model is already halfway into his death animation. I hope this provides all the poor players who had been immediately destroyed by Radahn upon setting foot in the arena as much vicarious vindication as it provided me.

Ainrun had previously made the rounds for crushing Midra in much the same way, though Midra is a far less intimidating foe. Ainrun is such a beast that he was likely just using the Lord of the Frenzied Flame himself as a mere guinea pig for his magnum opus.

And before anyone gets the idea that I’m talking about a one (shot) trick pony, let it be known that Ainrun once locked himself up in the same room with five Malenias, and was the only person to come out alive.
