Elden Ring Master Beats Game Eight Times at Level 1 Without Dying Ahead of DLC Release

I'm ready for Elden Ring's DLC, but not as ready as this Dark Souls streamer who conquered the entire action RPG at level 1 multiple times from NG to NG+7 without ever dying.

While Elden Ring players were gearing up for Shadow of the Erdtree to finally release, one dedicated FromSoftware fan surpassed everyone by completing the action RPG eight times without leveling up or facing death.

Streamlined by itzCBD, an apparent first-ever feat in Elden Ring was achieved by finishing the game at level one through every single New Game Plus difficulty with zero deaths. This resulted in eight exhaustive runs of an already demanding game, further intensified by the absence of leveling and the increasing difficulty in each NG+ mode. CBD also opts to start as a Wretch, Elden Ring's equivalent to Dark Souls' Deprived class, putting him at a greater disadvantage.

Choosing a Wretch means CBD's Tarnished character is set at the lowest level, with no significant stats, strengths, or gear. It's the preferred class for Elden Ring speedrunners and enthusiasts seeking a challenge, as it turns characters into completely blank slates without any buffs, similar to CBD's own run. Nonetheless, the formidable streamer triumphs after nearly 20 hours of arduous effort, completing the challenge just as Shadow of the Erdtree is about to release.

Upon defeating the Elden Beast and seemingly becoming the first to accomplish this remarkably tough task, CBD celebrates with cheers and applause, ending the challenge with an astounding 35,532,040 runes left unspent, making him an exceedingly wealthy Elden Lord. With Shadow of the Erdtree available now, CBD is poised to break even more records. Meanwhile, I'll be continuing my usual in-game struggles.
