FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Elden Ring speedrunner LilAggy has pulled off what youd be forgiven for 
thinking might be impossible - a complete run of the game without getting 
hit, while also randomizing every enemy, boss, and item (aside from the key 
ones). 

The rules of the challenge were brutal, to say the least. Of course, the main 
part was simple, if not exceedingly difficult in of itself - dont get hit. 
Hits were classified as either damage or staggers from enemies or traps (not 
environmental or self-inflicted non-lethal damage), but an exception was made 
for Mohg, Lord of Bloods Nihil attack, since its impossible to avoid. 

Otherwise, all of the games enemies were random, meaning there was always the 
chance of meeting the notoriously Malenia right at the start of the 
adventure, and all items - apart from key items like Great Runes - were 
jumbled up, too. This means that unlike in non-randomized Elden Ring 
challenges where players are able to plan out their builds and grab 
everything they need to become an unstoppable menace right from the get-go, 
LilAggy had to work with whatever materialized, for better or worse. 

This, combined with the requirement to beat the tutorial boss, Grafted Scion, 
being banned from quitting out of the game or using the Memory of Grace item 
to escape tricky situations, and having to re-randomize the game after every 
loss, you can understand why this took over a thousand attempts. IT FINALLY

The winning run, which was streamed on Twitch over the weekend, took around 
four and a half hours to complete in total. Randomized hijinks included 
replacing Margit, the Fell Omen (generally speaking, one of the easier early 
story bosses), with the Godskin Duo - a tough pair of bosses who are tricky 
to deal with at the best of times. The finale saw Radagon swapped out for the 
Fallingstar Beast, and Elden Beast replaced by an Erdtree Avatar, which, on 
the whole, are certainly more approachable fights. 

Theres no doubt that this is one of the hardest possible challenges any 
player could hope to pull off in Elden Ring , so to say its an achievement 
would be an understatement. Well have to wait and see what daunting tasks the 
streamer dares to take on when the DLC expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree , 
eventually releases.
