Elden Ring is considered a challenge in gaming, but one player took it too far. She completed Elden Ring on the hardest difficulty, and that was only at level 1.
Elden Ring, like other Souls games, is considered difficult. In particular, the bosses present a great challenge to beginners and unprepared players.
However, one player apparently wasn’t satisfied with that, as she completed Elden Ring at level 1.
New Game Plus feature makes the run extra difficult
What exactly makes her run so special? The player MissMikkaa battles through New Game + 7 in Elden Ring. This is the 7th round of New Game Plus. The special feature is that the enemies get stronger with each run. The enemies have more health points and can therefore take more hits before they are defeated. By the way, there are no more than seven rounds of New Game Plus in Elden Ring.
However, since the player does not level up even once, she also does not benefit from the fact that the enemies drop significantly more runes in New Game Plus.
She states that she died a total of 2,145 times. She died most frequently to the Brave Gargoyle and the Twinblade. Here she needed 405 attempts. This is an optional boss that is not required for the story.
By the way, she shared her statistics on Twitter/X. She streamed her entire gameplay on Twitch.
Without leveling, you are significantly weaker in Elden Ring, as you forgo strong bonuses
Why is leveling so important? With each level up, you receive points that you can distribute to an attribute of your choice. Your weapons also benefit from this. The weapons scale damage with certain attributes. In this way, if leveled correctly, you can deal a lot of extra damage to the enemy.
Additionally, certain weapons and items require a minimum level of attributes. If you do not improve your attributes, you will also be unable to use certain weapons.
