Intro and SPOILER disclaimer

This article contains names and videos of boss fights. Read and watch at your discretion beyond this point.

Legends are molded in the crucible of brutal challenge. Many rose to the occasion in the base Elden Ring game, with Let Me Solo Her popping up as the first example as the player led many others who were stuck through the obstacle that Malenia posed.

Later on, others took the challenge further, with MissMikkaa first beating Malenia with a dance pad and then beating two Malenia fights simultaneously – one with a controller and the other with a dance pad.

UPDATE: She beat Shadow of the Erdtree with it as well.

Shadow of the Erdtree marked a new era, inviting new legends to ascend and the first among them have already risen.

Zweihander oneshotters

One of the things that vexed me about Shadow of the Erdtree is that if some bosses got any beefier, they would have to be called goulash. This did not present an issue for a YouTuber named difference, who created a Zweihander build capable of one-shotting the bosses in the expansion.

Is Rellana’s almost 30K health a bit too chunky for your taste? How about over 9,000 damage worth of overkill in a single hit?

While Bayle boasts 47,171 health, it didn’t help him survive difference’s massive hit.

While difference’s build required two hits to kill Promised Consort Radahn, Titus, the doctor of one-shotting managed to do it with a single hit.

Not content with merely one-shotting the hardest boss in a Soulsborne game yet, he then proceeded to do it with a level 1 Wretch.

Unfortunately, the perfume weapon in the video has been nerfed and unless you are playing an older version of Elden Ring, you can’t do it anymore. Titus posted a different one-shot build in the description though.

With so many Radahn one-shots, maybe it’s time to post a few videos that pretty much humiliated the ultimate frame rate killer.

Final boss abuse

Did you ever wonder if Sekiro would be able to take down Radahn? Wonder no more because Ongbal gave us the answer. With Deflecting Hardtear mixed in Wondrous Physick, the already established legend took down Radahn just like one-armed wolf would – by blocking with impeccable timing.

Melee weapons may be all the rage in Elden Ring but with enough skill, bows can be used to take bosses down without having to rely on magic for ranged attacks.

Meanwhile, difference came up with a build laughs at Radahn’s damage and beats him down through it.

This build was then spiced up with humor as Radahn lost to a helicopter.

Eventually, difference channeled Kung Fu Panda and beatthe unfortunate consort down with bare hands.

Interesting facts

Promised Consort Radahn has an exceedingly high Stance stat, meaning it is a rare occasion someone solo breaks it. In the Kung Fu video above, difference breaks his stance 3 times during the fight. In comparison, Radahn only managed to stagger this absolute unit once.

While Radahn is beefy and has good damage reduction, it is the Scadutree Avatar that proved impossible to one-shot. This is because the player needs to deplete its health bar 3 times and score a critical hit between each resurrection. I would hazard a guess that Furnace Golems also can’t be truly one-shot.
