PC gaming offers endless possibilities, allowing players to not only modify games but also reinvent the way they play them. Elden Ring, an acclaimed action role-playing game by FromSoftware, stands as a prime example of players using unconventional controllers to tackle the game’s challenges. From dance pads and brain waves to Morse code, the creativity knows no bounds. Recently, a player accomplished the remarkable feat of defeating Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss using a saxophone.

If you’ve been out of the loop, Shadow of the Erdtree has earned a reputation for its punishing difficulty. Overcoming the final boss of this Elden Ring expansion is a formidable challenge, making this achievement even more impressive.

The player behind this extraordinary feat is Dr. Doot, known for his unique gaming challenges and his passion for the saxophone. Previously, he completed a no-hit run on Elden Ring using the same instrument.

In the video he streamed, you can see Dr. Doot utilizing an attacking shield, specifically The Carian Thrusting Shield. He expertly parries each of Radahn’s attacks with precise notes on the saxophone until he finally defeats the boss, an astonishing sight to behold.

Everyone was telling me how utterly impossible the Final Boss of Shadow of the Erdtree was going to be. Outrageous moveset, impossible dodges, etc

…

It only took me a dozen attempts on the saxophone.

Dr. Doot shared some insights on the shield he used. He scaled The Carian Thrusting Shield’s STR stat by making it heavy and employed the Deflect Tear along with a Guard Counter Boost talisman, transforming the weapon into a “powerhouse of a tank.”

Shadow of the Erdtree launched on June 21 and achieved remarkable success, selling 5 million copies within the first three days.
