Solo Elden Ring Nightreign players prove they don’t need a duos patch by beating the game with the only duo that matters: their fist, and their other fist, with “no skills or anything”

Not too long ago, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware introduced the multiplayer roguelike spinoff of Elden Ring titled “Elden Ring Nightreign.” As expected, adept gamers have been finding inventive strategies to conquer this new challenge.

A notable player, referred to as “star0chris” in the online world, has recently achieved an astounding feat: conquering all of Elden Ring’s Nightreign bosses singlehandedly, without resorting to any abilities or weapons. To make this even more extraordinary, it mirrors what the game’s director, Junya Ishizaki, accomplished – completing a run independently. But now, players are pushing boundaries by overcoming these challenges using only their Nightfarer characters’ raw fists and eschewing any additional buffs – embodying the true spirit of FromSoftware enthusiasts.

Star0chris shared his recent achievement in Nightreign, where he successfully defeated every Nightlord, even the expeditions, exclusively using his bare hands without relying on skills or equipment. He found this challenge incredibly enjoyable and a valuable learning experience to familiarize himself with each boss. He’s also relieved to discover that fists are not as weak as they appear in regular Elden Ring combat.

In this situation, a potential advantage could be that your fists have grown stronger within Nightreign due to the game’s recent balance adjustments. However, it’s important to note that even with these enhancements, fists remain significantly weaker than conventional weaponry in comparison.

It appears that star0chris is not alone in achieving such a feat; others have also accomplished similar runs.

A user in the comments, known as “skumnut,” a well-known Elden Ring enthusiast on YouTube, has accomplished what many thought impossible. In his dedicated post, skumnut shares a video of himself completing the game using only his bare fists within 30 hours: “I defeated every expedition and Nightlord in Elden Ring Nightreign with nothing but my BARE HANDS. First ever all Nightlord bosses bare-fisted run completed in less than 30 hours. Thank goodness, I’m finally free.

For the enthusiasts of Elden Ring, it’s hardly surprising given that the original game has showcased exceptional feats such as a well-known saxophone player performing a no-hit run using a real instrument, a dedicated fan completing a no-hit run at New Game+1,000, and an individual nicknamed Psychonaut successfully beating the game solely with mental prowess. Fans of Nightreign are already managing to complete no-hit playthroughs as well.
