Streamer Skumnut has once again set an unprecedented record in Elden Ring, completing New Game+ 1000 without taking a single hit using unlimited NG+ scaling. This incredible accomplishment required over three weeks and 115 attempts, making him the first globally to reach this remarkable milestone in the game.
The debate over video game difficulty, particularly in challenging titles like those from FromSoftware, has been a hot topic among gamers. Notably, FromSoftware’s games are unique as they only offer one level of difficulty, denying players the option to adjust their initial playthrough to be either easier or harder. Consequently, many players have embraced self-imposed challenges, such as defeating bosses without taking a single hit. One such streamer, Skumnut, is renowned for his exceptional accomplishments in gaming, having successfully completed games like Elden Ring and its DLC with a level 1 character. Now, Skumnut has taken things to an even higher level, being the first player globally to achieve an extraordinary feat.
Following a three-week stretch and 115 attempts, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Skumnut has successfully claimed the title as the “world’s first (and likely last)” to conquer Elden Ring’s New Game+ 1000 with unlimited NG+ scaling without receiving a single hit. The player commemorated his victory by sharing on Twitter a video capturing the climactic moments against the game’s final boss. With each progression in New Game+, challenges intensify as Elden Ring’s bosses grow tougher. Skumnut clarified that once New Game+ 1000 is attained, bosses boast over half a million HP, making every encounter an extraordinarily difficult test.
Skumnut Beats Elden Ring New Game+ 1000 with Uncapped NG+ Scaling, No Hits
In response to a viewer’s question about the distinction between completing Elden Ring at NG+ 7 and NG+ 1000, the streamer clarified that while NG+ 7 is tough, there’s still a chance of surviving even without taking a single hit due to significant differences in physical and status resistances between NG+ and NG+ 1000. Furthermore, he pointed out that in NG+ 1000, weapons in Elden Ring will only deal around 10-20 points of damage, whereas in NG+ 7, they can actually cause significant harm.
In the past, some players have criticized Elden Ring, stating that levels like Shadow of the Erdtree were excessively difficult and sometimes unfair. To alleviate these concerns, FromSoftware made adjustments to the game balance while still preserving its unique gameplay style. Yet, despite Elden Ring’s notorious challenging difficulty, Skumnut achieved a remarkable feat that he doubts will ever be repeated – not even by him again.
