Summary

  • A Twitch streamer completed the world's first no-hit run of all 207 Elden Ring bosses, impressing the gaming community.
  • Elden Ring offers challenging boss battles, with DLC introducing high HP bosses for ultimate tests.
  • The player's achievement of no-hit run showcases incredible skills, earning praise from fans.

An Elden Ring player and popular streamer GinoMachino has completed the world’s first no-hit run of all 207 bosses from the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. The unforgiving nature of Elden Ring’s enemies is notorious, but that doesn’t stop dedicated players from meeting speedrun and no-hit challenges head-on. These gauntlets make an already difficult game infinitely harder, but victors always earn the respect of the gaming community.

After releasing in 2022, Elden Ring became a staple in the Soulslike genre for its dark fantasy aesthetic, grueling boss battles, and solitary exploration. The DLC followed suit in 2024 and offered the antagonist Messmer the Impaler’s backstory within the previously hidden Land of Shadow. The base game’s Lands Between is so vast that some players think Elden Ring’s scale should be FromSoftware’s limit regarding open-world Soulslike games, as scouring every inch of the action RPG’s map is no easy feat.

GinoMachino has become the first Elden Ring player in the world to defeat all 207 bosses without being hit, and the streamer shared his victory during a Twitch livestream that will later be uploaded to YouTube. The endeavor took over eight hours to complete, and GinoMachino had skills, patience, and luck on his side, unlike another Elden Ring player whose no-hit run streak was ended by a cheating boss. The streamer has attempted several other Soulslike challenges, including another Elden Ring boss gauntlet with a randomizer, which allowed potentially devastating bosses to appear in smaller arenas.

Elden Ring Player Becomes World's First No-Hit Run Champion to Beat All 207 Bosses

Facing the lethal bosses from the base game and the DLC combined has become the ultimate test for players of late, and Shadow of the Erdtree has several painstaking bosses with high HP to conquer. With nearly 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, GinoMachino received significant praise from his community, proving his talent as a performer for keeping an audience entertained for eight hours straight. More Elden Ring fans on Reddit joined the celebrations and discussed the streamer’s talk of performing another challenge, except this time it would be a true level one no-hit run and region-locked.

The Elden Ring base game harbors many frustrating bosses to contest, and every player quickly becomes accustomed to being hit when starting their adventure. Therefore, to best every boss battle in the base game and the expansion without being hit is a testament to GinoMachino’s skills as a player and an incredible feat to add to his content.
