An Elden Ring fan managed to finish the game without attacking a single enemy. By using many glitches, this Elden Ring player was able to complete the game’s main story quest by just walking and blocking with the shield.

It’s no secret that Elden Ring is a fairly long and difficult game. By mixing the classic Soulslike combat and putting it into a vast open world, the developers of the game were able to create an experience that takes dozens, if not hundreds of hours to complete. Back in February, Elden Ring finally passed a major sales milestone, selling over 20 million units, which proves that people love hard, long games. However, there are a few players who simply would prefer to glitch their way through the whole game instead of taking the proper paths.

The YouTuber Ymfah, who specializes in content regarding Soulslike games, has recently published a video in which he’s able to beat Elden Ring without attacking any enemy at all. In the video, it’s possible to see how the player exploits a glitch to essentially zap through the whole world with teleports, passing through areas like the Chapel of Anticipation, Raya Lucaria Academy, and the Crumbling Farum Azula much quicker than he should.



Using glitches to kill Elden Ring bosses or make the game easier in speedrunning is not unheard of, but Ymfah really took this to the next level. To complete the game, he used several glitches, including the famous zip, mega zip, and the wrong warp. With zip and mega zip, the player can travel great distances almost while teleporting, which helps to sequence-break the game. By using the wrong warp, it’s possible to teleport to other locations instead of the “right” ones. Ymfah even used a now-defunct glitch that kills bosses, which was patched out in 1.04, so he had to download an archived copy of the game to complete the whole ordeal.

While weird glitches are not strange to the Elden Ring community, they are not always fun. Recently, an Elden Ring player was attacked by an invader who killed them with a glitch. During this incident, the gamer was playing in multiplayer peacefully when a suspicious player named “Glitch Tester” invaded. They waved to the visitor a few times, only to be ignored. Then, the mysterious invader used a glitch to strike a wall but kill the host from afar instead, which prompted a discussion about how glitches can ruin the fairness of the online aspect of the game.

Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
