In FromSoftware'southward hard activity-RPGs, players commonly accept two choices when it comes to bosses: practice tirelessly to telegraph movement-sets and best them afterward an arduous period of time, or discover some eclectic manner to tip the battle's scales in their favor and win by unintended means. Elden Band players have been busy with both options and have since shared their storied anecdotes.

Fortunately, players can admission almost any area at any time if they wish, and previous areas can be returned to when players accept leveled up and retrieved new armaments to make boss battles more evenly favored. Instead, one player has displayed their artistic use of cheese to definitively dispatch an enemy that they were unable to beat the old-fashioned way.

H3NRY-56 depicts "the ultimate cheese" equally they repeatedly and precisely fire arrows into a tiny pigsty in one of the castle's brick walls. It is learned that Elden Ring's Commander Niall stands and waits patiently beyond this pigsty earlier players fifty-fifty get in to his boss arena.

Commanders O'Neil and Niall both summon foes to help them at different points of their dominate battles, and employ AoE attacks that strike with different affinities.
