Elden Ring’s hardest boss is so easy a fish could beat it – here’s how
A GOLDFISH has beaten what fans consider the hardest boss, in one of 2022’s hardest games.
Elden Ring took the world by storm last year with its challenging yet fair ‘approachable’ game style.
Players could build their characters based on their playstyle, and there was a lot of variation to be found.
Sometimes it seems that the build was more important than skill, as the goldfish has proven.
As spotted by , Twitch streamer PointCrow challenged his goldfish Tortellini to take on some of Elden Ring’s toughest bosses.
Tortellini never got their fins on the controller; instead, the buttons were mapped to different areas of their tank.

When the goldfish swims into a certain section, it sends a signal to the game to input that command.
So far Tortellini has felled Soldier of Godrick, Margit, Godrick himself, and is squaring up to a new challenge.
Tortellini has been challenged with taking down Malenia, the boss Elden Ring players have died to the most.
While the little fish has had help from their dad in creating their character build, all of the attacks, dodging and healing are in Tortellini’s fins.

It took five and a half hours to take down Malenia’s first phase, a time which is not completely unusual for casual human players.
While Malenia managed to best Tortellini in the more aggressive second phase, it is still a huge victory for fish-kind.
PointCrow celebrated the win, saying: “If you can’t beat Malenia, my god damn goldfish can!”
This isn’t the first time a fish has been set up to play a video game.
In January, one streamer’s fish was set up to complete Pokémon Violet, but managed to instead reveal the person’s credit card information on stream.
