Summary
Elden Ringreally is back, as it’s only been a few days sinceNightreignlaunched and we’re already seeing skilled players pull off wild feats - in this case, someone already soloing the final boss as the Executor.
As aFromSoftgame, nobody went into Elden Ring Nightreign expecting it to be easy. Even with that awareness in mind, though, the general consensus over the weekend since Nightreign launchedis that it’s surprisingly challenging due to its online multiplayer focusand unique battle royale influences.
Once players have gotten over all of the matchmaking issuesand managed to find a team to play with, they’re being met with some pretty big challenges thatmight have you rethinking how good you are at Elden Ring. Well, not every player is feeling that way, as some have already managed some impressive feats of strength.
Minor spoilers for Elden Ring Nightreign below, as we’ll reveal the name of the boss but won’t go into too much detail.
Elden Ring Is Back Baby, As A Skilled Player Has Already Solo’d The Final Boss
Who Needs Let Me Solo Her?
As reported by PC Gamer, perhaps the first truly notable achievement that’s been made in Elden Ring Nightreigncomes from YouTuber Ongbal, who you might recognise for their tremendous skills in previous FromSoft games like Dark Souls and Sekiro. Ongbal clearly hasn’t missed a beat since then,as they’ve already managed to solo the game’s final boss, Heolstor.
That’s right, while everyone else seems to be stuck at the matchmaking screen and then struggling through the early Nightlords, Ongball has already cleared the final boss of a game that’s designed around three people.A large part of the success seems to come from the fact that Ongball is playing as The Executor, whose parry-focused playstyle should be familiar toSekiroplayers.
This is even more impressive when you consider that FromSoft has already promised a patch is incoming for Nightreign that makes its solo play easier. Ongball clearly didn’t see all of the fuss.
Heolstor seems like an incredibly tough boss even with three people, so it’s a mighty show of strength to beat them without any other players around. Ongball didn’t quite manage to do it without taking damage, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing that from them or another player in the very near future. Welcome back, Elden Ring fans.
