Players of FromSoftware games are known for being able to pull off some impressive feats. Whether it be defeating Dark Souls 3 with a dance pad or speedrunning Elden Ring in under 10 minutes, FromSoftware's difficult gameplay only seems to inspire players to make the games even harder. This has been the case for one Elden Ring player, who decided to take on Morgott the Omen King at Rune level 1 with just their starting gear.
Morgott is one of Elden Ring's many bosses but unlike some of the other difficult foes in the game such as Malenia, he is not an optional boss and must be defeated in order for a player to progress the story. While quite the challenge for many players, however, some have taken it upon themselves to make the fight even more challenging by using just a club. While this is not the recommended strategy for players facing Morgott, Reddit user Jim0917 makes the Omen King suffer quite an embarrassing defeat as they fight the boss without much gear at all.
Armed with only the starting club for the wretch class in Elden Ring, Jim0917 must be extremely careful to avoid Morgott's attacks, as taking a hit would be entirely devastating considering their lack of armor. However, after many attempts and a grand amount of skill, the Omen King is brought low by a nearly naked character with a glorified stick. Following some digging into Jim0917's profile, it seems that Morgott is not the first Elden Ring boss they've taken down this way.
Jim0917 has multiple videos of them taking on Elden Ring's bosses with no armor and a club. Before Morgott, Radahn was the most recent boss to face the might of the level 1 character. With Elden Ring's bosses having set moves that can be learned over time, multiple players have tested their mettle by facing the most difficult enemies with as little gear as possible. Elden Ring's most famous player has made a name for themselves by facing Malenia hundreds of times and soloing the boss in other people's games.
The "Let Me Solo Her" meme is one of Elden Ring's most popular running jokes and has led to multiple pieces of art made of both Malenia and the player she fears most in-game. Perhaps, when Jim0917 makes their way through the game with their trusty club, they too can reach the heights of having Elden Ring tributes made based on their exploits.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
