In Elden Ring modders are also very active and remove barriers and limits that the game would otherwise set. YouTuber Games from Mars now demonstrates a mod that removes the limit for using Spirit Ashes. He uses the popular Mimic Tear.
What is the Mimic Tear? With this Spirit Ash, you can summon a doppelgänger of yourself for a small HP cost.
This is an exact copy of you, including equipment, talismans and spells that you have equipped yourself. We have a guide for the Mimic Tear, including its location.
Normally, you can summon a maximum of one spirit. But YouTuber Games from Mars shows how a group of 20 almost-naked doppelgängers stomps through the game.
You can check it out here:
Doppelgänger-Truppe overruns everything – first naked and with a club, then also with spells
How are the doppelgängers equipped? The player chose the beggar class, thus the character is at level 1.
- No equipment items are used, apart from the starter weapon, a small club. He at least upgrades it to +25 during the run, as the monsters in the later stages of the game simply have too many hit points for an unupgraded weapon.
- From NPCs like Varré to larger bosses, the doppelgänger crew completely stomps through the Lands Between. One almost feels pity for some enemies, as they often don’t even get the chance to attack.
- However, the end boss ends this. The second phase is too much for the 20 beggars. But when the player equips them with armor, things look different again.
Even the end boss cannot withstand a group of 20 level-1 doppelgängers with medium armor with his massive hit point pool.
In another video, he takes it to the extreme and equips them with a hammer spell:
This also pushes the game to its limits and the FPS just stumble when 20 doppelgängers continuously fire spells at the same time.
In the video, he tests various spells and summons, and the chaos is simply perfect.
Of course, this is primarily a fun action, as only a few players are likely to be interested in playing like this.
How the players react: In the comments under the videos, they celebrate the experiment. For instance, DarkNinja193 writes: “If FromSoftware ever made an MMO, the raid bosses would probably look like this.”
Alicia S thanks the YouTuber: “Thank you for sacrificing your PC for the memes.” Lamderem J is also concerned about the player’s PC: “Dude, your PC must be a monster device, but that is just abuse. PLEASE MORE OF IT!”
In addition to modders, there are also countless data miners in Elden Ring who uncover cut content. This can even include entire features: In Elden Ring, one could once extract NPCs’ darkest secrets with a drink.
