Summary
AnElden Ringplayer and popular streamer GinoMachino has completed the world’s first no-hit run of all 207 bosses from the base game and theShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion. The unforgiving nature ofElden Ring’s enemies is notorious, but that doesn’t stop dedicated players from meeting speedrun and no-hit challenges head-on.

After releasing in 2022,Elden Ringbecame a staple in the Soulslike genre for its dark fantasy aesthetic, grueling boss battles, and solitary exploration. The DLC followed suit in 2024 and offered the antagonist Messmer the Impaler’s backstory within the previously hidden Land of Shadow. The base game’s Lands Between is so vast that some players thinkElden Ring’s scale should be FromSoftware’s limitregarding open-world Soulslike games, as scouring every inch of the action RPG’s map is no easy feat.
GinoMachino has become the firstElden Ringplayer in the world to defeat all 207 bosses without being hit, and the streamer shared his victory during a Twitch livestream that will later be uploaded to YouTube. The endeavor took over eight hours to complete, and GinoMachino had skills, patience, and luck on his side, unlike anotherElden Ringplayer whose no-hit run streak was ended by a cheating boss.
