An Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree player has managed to beat one of the DLC's most challenging bosses, Messmer the Impaler, in possibly the most unconventional way possible: by throwing rocks at him. As Messmer the Impaler features on the cover of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, it makes sense that he'd pose arguably the biggest challenge in the DLC, but one player clearly isn't worried by that.
Upon its release, many gamers were concerned that Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was too hard. Even for a FromSoftware product, it had massively upped the difficulty, leaving even Souls-like veterans struggling to beat its toughest challenges. While the studio did release a small fix addressing these problems, the overall difficulty curve of Shadow of the Erdtree remained tougher than most other FromSoftware titles prior. However, fans of the Souls-like genre like nothing more than a challenge, and it wasn't long before players were finding the craziest ways to take down the bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
