With players constantly on the prowl for hands-off strategies at Elden Ring, it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to reach the end of the game with no fighting whatsoever.
In his most recent video, Iron Pineapple--who runs a fantastic YouTube channel that is dedicated exclusively to Souls and Souls-like games, walked us through his battle to beat Elden Ring as an pacifist. The game's playthrough gets a bit complicated due to the speedrun issues and smart build synergies, iron Pineapple never broke one single rule: Don't do any direct damage to the enemies and bosses alike.
"I think the entire run took about 45 hours," Iron Pineapple told MMOexp via email. "Most of the time was spent playing around and preparing to go on the road, and I only got stuck with a handful of bosses."
For those who are thinking of becoming Elden Ring pacifists out there, the game gives you all the tools needed to begin your journey. Iron Pineapple started as the Prophet class for its healing powers and selected to use the Fanged Imp Ashes as his extra item. The entire plan was to make use of to summon NPC summons as an auxiliary class. When the summons do all the damage, the goal of Iron Pineapple was to buff and heal them as needed.
As seen in the video below, Iron Pineapple's ran into several dead ends, some of which led him down avenues that ultimately proved fruitless.
