Today is Halloween, and there are few things I find more terrifying than the Soulsborne community. I’m not going to lie to you, dear reader, I have put many, many hours into Elden Ring, and I still struggle to fathom how some of these players manage to pull off the wild challenges they do in an already difficult game. I have nothing but respect for them. And fear.
Since Elden Ring’s release in February, we’ve seen some lightning-fast speedruns, blindfolded boss runs, and even the game completed using a dance mat as the controller. You’d think we’d seen it all, but apparently not, as one streamer has now defeated every single boss in the game in one enormous no-hit run (thanks, IGN).
I wasn’t making up that bit about beating the game with a dance mat - check it out below.

Let’s rewind. We’ve seen no-hit runs of Elden Ring before, and as impressive as they’ve all been, most of these have been Any% runs, which means that players didn’t have to do everything in order to consider the challenge complete - they just had to get to the credits. GinoMachino has taken things to the next level by taking out all 165 bosses in the game without being hit once. As far as we’re aware, this is the first time that anyone’s managed to pull it off - the whole thing was broadcast on Twitch, and the winning run took almost nine and a half hours to complete. I can't even imagine the tension.
We did it. World’s First Elden Ring All Bosses No Hit Run has been completed.

Thanks to everyone who was there for it including the legendary no hit runners @OtzdarvaYT and @OGSquilla

In March the streamer tweeted: “I will complete Elden Ring all bosses no hit”, and over seven months later, it finally happened. “Holy s**t you guys. I can't believe we did it. I came into today not confident at all dude,” GinoMachino said at the end of the run. It's a massive achievement, and one that you can't imagine many others would even hope to complete.
