MMOEXP: Even though GinoMachino did complete Elden Ring

[Ludwighench]

On April 1, Twitch streamer Seki accomplished something quite impressive In FromSoftware's Elden Ring Runes. After many attempts and hours of practice Seki, the expert streamer completed what could be the world's first recorded no-hit/no-damage run in the Elden Ring.

Seki's race, which was not hit, was just under three hours and was done live on stream after which he shared the photo of his win shortly afterward on Twitter, excitedly announcing the news. On Twitter, Seki claimed that his amazing run was a "world's first." A few people questioned this , pointing to an earlier run of streamer GinoMachino from March 13. But, even though GinoMachino did complete Elden Ring without taking any hits, his run is quite different from the one Seki did.

"No-Hit/No Damage is harder than a regular no-hit run since the player cannot suffer [any] environmental damage such as poison/fall damage, etc," Seki explained to MMOexp. "This creates a challenge for the game because I don't have access to any buffs, such as Red-Feathered branchswords that could boost my damage output if I had low health."

This means Seki has to avoid any type of damage, big or small, throughout the entire game. Consider how many times you've played Elden Ring and accidentally fell and received some fall injury or even gotten poisoned by the swamp. If anything like that occurs in the case of Seki during his run, he's forced to start from scratch. This turns a difficult and difficult game an even more difficult beast to take on.

The success of the run is awe-inspiring. Seeing someone complete Elden Ring in under 3 hours with their health bar not ever crashing is a engaging even if (like me) do not have a passion for FromSoftware games and Elden Ring. (There is a point in the race where Seki puts on a special talisman that boosts his health and damage. At that moment the health bar of his character expands and it appears as if Seki has been hit however, this is simply what the item does.)

As per the streamer who has run similar no-hit runs in different FromSoftware games, including Sekiro the game, he logged more than 130 hours just trying to do this no-hit/no-damage run. It involved planning, practice as well as countless attempts. As for what gear Seki is using to beat Elden Ring without taking any injury, it's an ordinary kit featuring a fan favorite moonveil katana.

"I use a dexterity/intelligence build. My main weapon is the Moonveil katana" Seki explained. Seki. He also uses the spell known as Rock Sling to help remove mobs from certain zones of the game. Sometimes, in a game like this, it becomes apparent the most bizarre and unusual area of the game is the most difficult thing to tackle, such as a random section filled with toxic enemies or something similar to that. But Seki informed me that poeticallyspeaking, the most difficult portion of the entire race was towards the end.

"The hardest portion of the game by far is the final boss: Elden Beast," said Seki."It comes with a particular move which is widely known as unjust: Elden Stars. One of the only ways to prevent it from happening is to knock him down while he's casting the spell. This required a lot of time of precise practice and training to time correctly."So Seki sometimes wouldn't fail a run until he reached the very end of the game. He'd being a complete game until that moment. And if the boss hit him or caused any harm to him, he'd have to restart the whole thing.

After pulling off such an impressive feat many might want to relax and take a break. Perhaps you can play your game in a normal way and take a break. However, that's not what Seki plans to do. He tells me what his goal for the future is to begin working towards completing an "All Remembrances No-Hit" run, which he calls an "true challenge of the mind." Seki is also excited about the increasing speedrunning and hitless run community in Elden Ring."I would love to see the hitless community come together in a bid to develop new strategies for beating the game."Meanwhile lots of others are trying to just outsmart the boss buy Elden Ring Runes.
