The community of Elden Ring continues to find new ways to battle through the game. A Twitch streamer has made life particularly difficult for himself by turning Elden Ring into a drinking game.
What did the drinking game look like? Players who are already well-versed in Elden Ring tend to take on additional challenges. If the game isn’t difficult enough, one can help others in a solo run against the toughest boss – or turn it into a drinking game.
This was the plan of the Twitch streamer YourBudTevin. He played Elden Ring and decided to take a sip of alcohol in the following situations:
- When his character dies
- When he summons NPCs or real players for help
Anyone familiar with Elden Ring knows: This sounds like a bad idea. Deaths occur frequently in this game, unless one is a really good player who can breeze through the Lands Between. The streamer made it to the final boss – but not without treating himself to a few drinks along the way.
Here you can see the trailer for the upcoming expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree” – all info about the release can be found on MeinMMO.
The final boss was too much to handle
How did the run go? The streamer died several times during his playthrough. When he reached the final boss, he had accumulated 50 sips due to deaths and summons. Fifty deaths or fewer is actually not bad, but if you take a sip for each one, that can become a problem.
So, the streamer faced the final boss, which consists of two different phases, well “prepared.” The first phase, where one battles Radagon, proved to be a significant challenge.
YourBudTevin died to him twenty more times. At the 70th sip, the streamer decided to stop for now. As seen in the clip, he freaked out and… well, the images show what he does with the greenscreen.
Was that the end? Despite his outburst, the streamer did not want to give up. He continued and suffered another 10 deaths, bringing his total to 80 sips.
He was ultimately unable to defeat Radagon. The boss caused the streamer to quit, also for health reasons. It’s understandable and reasonable; the fact that he made it to the final boss is all the more impressive given the circumstances.
Perhaps the streamer has had enough of this. Or he might try the self-imposed challenge in the upcoming DLC of Elden Ring, which is set to release on June 21, 2024. Chief developer Hidetaka Miyazaki has big plans for future games from the studio after the expansion – what exactly, you can read about on MeinMMO.
