Matthew “Your Common Gamer” Farnkopf is a YouTuber devoted to assembling “loopy Elden Ring builds.” They’ve obtained a video on destroying Malenia in 90 seconds, one other breaking down the effectiveness of Godrick the Grafted’s Nice Axe, and a special one on the final word standing impact construct. In brief, Matt has spent a whole lot of time with Elden Ring because it dropped on February 25. And but, it’s nonetheless notable they had been capable of finding a one-shot construct highly effective sufficient to take out two of the sport’s hardest bosses, Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast, with an assortment of kit and incantations on New Sport Plus Seven, the very best problem possibility Elden Ring presently has to supply. Each spherical of latest sport plus retains all of your gear and stats whereas rising the general injury output and well being pool of the enemies round you, which means Your Common Gamer’s run is a few significantly gnarly shit.

It appears like Matt’s simply throwing issues to be throwing issues throughout the struggle, however there’s really an order to the insanity. As they defined in a brief video detailing what they’ve dubbed the “final PvE construct,” Matt first casts the Howl of Shabriri and Golden Vow incantations for some preliminary standing results, like insanity buildup for assault energy and assault negation, respectively. They then poison themselves to extend their intelligence stat and quickly increase lightning assault injury, the latter is very essential when paired with the only real assault spell Historic Dragons’ Lightning Strike, a late-game potential you discover within the labyrinthine legacy dungeon Crumbling Farum Azula. After a fast buffing session, Matt turns to their gear for much more buffs—the Gravel Stone Seal to up the injury of Dragon Cult/lightning-related incantations, the Jellyfish Protect for 20% elevated injury for 30 seconds, and the Kindred of Rot’s Exultation Talisman to lift assault energy by 20% for 20 seconds when there’s poisoning or rot close by, amongst others—earlier than coming into the battle enviornment to point out the ultimate bosses what’s up.

It was curtains as soon as Matt stepped in entrance of Radagon. They forged the Historic Dragons’ Lightning Strike, a multi-hitting assault that sends down a number of bolts of lightning to strike in a decided space, and watched because the hammer-wielding god’s well being bar melted away in seconds. The identical factor occurred to the colossal Elden Beast, and y’all, I’m gagging RN.

Matt advised Kotaku over e mail that they wished to dispel the parable permeating the sport’s neighborhood that “religion [builds aren’t] almost nearly as good as magic.” It took them “almost 20 hours of trial and error” to seek out the precise mixture of drugs and incantations to do the required injury to slay Radagon and the Elden Beast in a single shot, and the outcomes had been gorgeous.

“I used to be primarily impressed to show that one thing that many stated couldn’t be executed might really be executed…even on the toughest problem,” Matt stated. “Once I pulled this off on Journey Three, that gave me hope that it was technically attainable.

Matt, to place it plainly, loves religion. It’s certainly one of their favourite stats to assemble characters round, and a central theme to the sport general. Nonetheless, getting issues good to perform this feat was fairly the headache, one thing that pressured them to “give up two separate occasions” due to how time-consuming it was changing into. Whatever the frustrations, Matt stated they had been “glad [to have] caught it out” in the long run.

“So I’m bodily disabled,” Matt stated. “I’ve ongoing day-to-day abdomen points that may get/have gotten extreme at occasions. I had simply gotten over a flare-up of Colitis that I needed to go to the ER for. After failing so many occasions all through a number of hours, I discovered myself presumably going again into one other flare-up. So I relaxed, calmed myself down, and spaced out my time. From then on I set hours I might do it and took the strain completely off myself. The second I stated ‘Okay, if another person does it that’s fantastic,’ I used to be capable of calm down. Shortly after, I used to be capable of obtain it anyhow!”

Doing a one-shot kill in Elden Ring is spectacular however not completely new. There was one Redditor again in April who killed the infamous Tree Sentinel in a single hit and one other speedrunner that created a glass-cannon construct to bonk bosses with a single swing of their hammer in Could. Whereas it will not be that recent, slaying FromSoftware’s infamously difficult enemies in a single hit continues to be a cool sight to see. I want I had been affected person sufficient to do that.

Whereas Matt’s crushed Elden Ring a number of occasions now, he’s not executed with the sport. They’re hoping FromSoftware provides new content material within the type of “very difficult bosses, very like Darkish Souls 3's DLC” or “one other late sport spike that may take a look at us but once more.” Till then, Matt is trekking by the Lands Between as soon as extra in search of new builds to experiment with.

“I’ve retired the lightning construct/character,” Matt stated. “He’s form of a legacy to me now. I’m beginning a brand new construct recent, and I’m going to give attention to exploring and the subsequent cool construct I can give you. Elden Ring is a unbelievable sport, and the neighborhood is wonderful! And keep in mind ‘Search Lightning!’”
