Move over Let Me Solo Her, a goldfish named Tortellini has beaten multiple Elden Ring bosses. Elden Ring is FromSoftware\u2019s most-played title to date but don\u2019t let that fool you, it\u2019s still brimming with the developer\u2019s trademarked difficulty. That difficulty has inspired numerous challenge runs from using dance-pads to voice controls. All of them pale in comparison to this one though (sorry guys, you\u2019re still super talented). YouTuber PointCrow has given a scrappy little goldfish that goes by Tortellini the ability to play Elden Ring, and he\u2019s actually pretty good. It\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve seen Tortellini take on an Elden Ring boss with his attempts at Malenia being documented earlier this year. This time though, this gallant goldfish has taken on the likes of Margit and Grodrick the Grafted and won. How does a goldfish play Elden Ring? PointCrow uploaded a full video to his YouTube channel explaining how he was able to get a goldfish combat ready for Elden Ring. It\u2019s actually a pretty genius bit of coding. Tortellini\u2019s movement is tracked by a webcam that has a grid overlaid with different buttons on a controller. When the furious fish swims through a certain part of the tank, the controller reads the input. PointCrow\u2019s strategy for the fights is pretty interesting too. Little Tortellini isn\u2019t much for dodging so he\u2019s loaded up with heavy armor for max protection. He\u2019s outfitted with the Bloodhound\u2019s Fang curved greatsword which has a dodge built into its Ash of War. The bleed damage from the weapon gives the most bang for the goldfish\u2019s random bucks meaning fewer hits are required for a victory. With this Arsenal, Tortellini managed to beat down both Margitt and Godrick pretty handily. Not only did he manage those impressive feats, but he was eventually able to beat the first phase of Elden Ring\u2019s most challenging boss; Malenia Blade of Miquella. Honestly, we\u2019re just gonna give him the win there because that\u2019s damn impressive for a goldfish. Elden Ring has a DLC on the way. Not much is known about Shadow of the Erdtree but one thing is certain, there\u2019ll be plenty of new fodder for the tyrannical Tortellini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A goldfish is now an Elden Ring expert so the rest of us really have no excuse FromSoftware\/Bandai Namco\/YouTube: PointCrowElden Ring has its newest legend and nobody was ready for it.
