Warning, spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree ahead.
I’m happy to report that Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss, the one that players asked Let Me Solo Her to focus on, has now been defeated by someone using a saxophone as a controller.
Yes, we’ve had single-use weapons, super tanks and dance mats, so the natural progression was for someone to ruin the DLC boss’ day with some soothing jazz, which is exactly what this streamer did. To be fair, considering they’ve already managed to beat the base game with Clarence Clemons – as we discussed with them when we asked for some tips when the DLC was first revealed – this kill was probably inevitable.

With the skills of a FromSoft game music veteran, streamer DrDeComposing defeated the ultra-tough Promised Consort Radahn while controlling their Tarnished using their trusty electric saxophone. They believe this may be the first Shadow of the Erdtree game to be completed with an alternative controller, and beating the boss only took a surprising dozen tries.
As you can see below, Dr. Decompose is naturally very excited about taking down the boss, immediately erupting in laughter after absorbing one of its final form’s infamous meteor attacks – apparently the first time they’ve encountered it – and delivering the finishing blow.

After spending some time together after their win during a nearly five-hour livestream over the weekend, the streamer finally found some words to sum up the victory. “What? They said, ‘I’m shaking, you’ve got to be kidding me.'”
Naturally, they later went back and re-watched the kill, claiming that it took fewer attempts to complete it over the course of two playthroughs than they did to break through Scadutree Avatar and Bayle the Dread, because the shield they used – which we think at first glance is the Carian Thrusting Shield – sounds like it played a big role in breaking through Radahn so quickly.
