If you ever got killed by Soldier of Godrick, the puny boss from the RPG's tutorial stages and often considered the worst Elden Ring boss, you probably felt a bit foolish. A new challenge run by Twitch streamer Skumnut however, who uses mods to recruit the soldier as a spirit ash summon, makes it seem like a miracle anyone ever got past the Stranded Graveyard.
Playing Elden Ring on New Game+6, Skumnut's Godrick is an absolute beast, felling the Glimstone Dragon, the Red Wolf of Radagon, and Godfrey, the First Elden Lord in merely a few hits. All Skumnut does is stand back, cheer and swear in amazement. There are a couple of occasions where he casts a heal spell or a buffer, like in the fight against Morgott, the Omen King, but otherwise this entire run of Elden Ring is all the soldier's work.
Even Malenia - or Damn it, ugh...GARGH! Malenia! - as she's more formally known, is no match for the mighty tutorial boss, whose effortless exploits are made all the more cool by his victory animation: every time he defeats his enemy, Godrick stops still, sheaths his sword, then disappears into a cloud of smoke, thereby delivering the Elden Ring equivalent of a mic drop.
