OneElden Ringplayer has seemingly mastered the game’s combat as they’ve completed the entire thing with just their bare fists.Elden Ringis a vast game full of various enemies and hundreds of bosses. Players often choose a particularElden Ringweaponand build their character around it. Strength-based gamers go for colossal weapons like the Dragon Greatclaw and Giant Crusher, while mages focus more on spells and incantations.
Regardless, almost every player wields at least one weapon while making their way across The Lands Between. Even the great Let Me Solo Her is known for dual-wielding katanas with minimal armor. Now, oneElden Ringgamer has decided to take it further by refusing weapons altogether and using only their bare fists to complete the game.

Twitter user GinoMachino uploaded a video where they can be seen fighting thefinalElden Ringboss, The Elden Beast. The interesting thing about this battle is that the user is fighting unarmed, relying on their bare fists to inflict damage. The video shows the player dodging a few oncoming attacks from The Elden Beast before waiting for an opportune moment to land a few punches. The user lands devastating blows, after which the finalElden Ringboss is defeated. GinoMachino claims they completed the entire game this way and are the first person to beatElden Ringwith bare fists, which is yet to be officially confirmed.
Furthermore, the original poster also mentioned the entire run took them 58 hours, and they are upset it’s over. However, they didn’t clarify how many side bosses they faced during thisElden Ringrun, if at all. Many Twitter users were curious whether GinoMachino defeated Malenia, arguably the most brutal boss, with bare fists. This is because she’s in a secret area calledMiquella’s Haligtree, which is not required for the main story. Some people urged them to do the complete run without getting hit, while others wanted a video showing otherElden Ringbosses they encountered during their play. Nevertheless, theElden Ringcommunity on Reddit applauded the original poster for completing the game with bare fists.
It is hard to understand what motivatesElden Ringplayers like GinoMachino, who complete the game under unusual circumstances. Meanwhile, some gamers focus more on side quests than the main story, like theElden Ringfan who completed Ranni’s quest 50 timesand has 50 Dark Moon Greatswords. It should be noted thatElden Ring’s massive scope intrigues gamers to try different techniques, and each playthrough feels like an entirely new experience.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
