Warning, there may be spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree ahead.
You know how we recently told you about all the fun ways Elden Ring players were beating Shadow of the Erdtree bosses? Well, now someone has managed to play the expansion through the first level one-handed while eating lunch, just so they can prove to any doubters that they’re not holding a secret controller in their other hand.
After all, while we’ve seen someone beat the DLC’s incredibly difficult final boss on their twelfth try using nothing more than a freaking saxophone, and have seen people defeat early bad guys using brain power, trusting someone to beat it with just five fingers is clearly a stretch.

That’s exactly what streamer BioticNova is currently doing, as he’s just started playing with the DLC, but with two pretty big additional caveats – keeping their Tarnished at level one, and using only one hand to control all the actions they need to perform.
You might ask, why do both instead of just one? Well, BioticNova has defeated all the major bosses of both the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC using only one-handed rules, with the latter just being triumphant this past weekend (iGamesNews’s congratulations are a little late).

So naturally they chose to go with the first level setting in order to add a little more challenge to this already difficult second DLC. Although it has created some pretty crazy moments, with streamers defeating the mythical beasts with disturbing ease, to the point where they casually ate donuts with their free hands while dodging and delivering all the necessary critical hits.
Yes, eating dinner while beating up a boss that has probably killed us hundreds or thousands of times. But how else can you prove to doubters that you’re not secretly using a second controller or something with your free hand?
Anyway, it looks like Mesmer, Raylana, and Golden Hippo went down in the first wave of this run as well, so General Rodan will likely be chopped off soon.
