In the interest of all things, there are spoilers for the final boss of The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Eldest Tree.

Promised Consort Laadaan is a two-phase fight, the first phase being a challenging but fair-feeling brawl with a warrior in his prime, and the second phase being the world's deadliest rave, only to die after being hugged repeatedly.

The second phase of the fight is a barrage of attacks that are almost impossible to dodge without hours of trial and error, and many players either give up and don the Fingerprint Great Shield or, in the tradition of the first "Souls Game," parry the sucker into the dirt. They will have to hit the ground. However, as if he needed to be even more sorry for not discovering the kryptonite part of Radahn's build, one player managed to take him down with an "all hit."

"ALL HIT, NO DODGING, NO BLOCKING, NO FLASK," boasted Reddit user Recjawjind_fmfb (let's shorten it to "Recja" for sanity's sake), the most robust Tarnished in Lands Between. He posted a video.

Recja appears with her twin cross naginata, a strategy so complex and subtle that Sun Tzu cries. They run up to Radahn and beat him hard until he is dead.

It is truly brilliant. Lekja just stands there and watches as Radahn tries and fails to make a paste of themselves with a symbolic meteorite, making no effort to avoid any damage. The 'boss mechanic' would be the 'boss suggestion,'" they add in their comments on the thread. It seems they have found their next motivational poster.

Recja does not directly share their secret, but eagle-eyed commenter Quetzal-Labs breaks it down. Basically, tanks within tanks use Marenia's Great Rune and Godskin Swaddling Cloth talismans to restore health, along with mitigating talismans like Dragonscrest Greatshield and Spelldrake, and some tank-related tears to restore health.

But the real star here seems to be Ashes of War's "Endure." The "Endure" provides a considerable poise buff and damage reduction boost. These are tremendous sticklers for bits, as you can only get one of these per play. This allows Lecture to take one of Ladern's bus-sized sword swipes in the face like a breeze.

Anyway, while I am conflicted about the very specific build required to defeat this boss, the greatest inventions often come during trials. Whether it's spraying perfume on Radahn or saying, "No, you move," I can't wait to see what nonsense the Elden Ring community will come up with in the future.
