Elden Ring’s Mimic Tear was previously the king of the Spirit Ash summons until it was brought down by patch 1.03. But what if you could summon 20 Imitate tears?
Modder Games from Mars on YouTube modified the Fire Ring to do just that, adjusting the summoning to produce a possession of 20 furious naked men to destroy their enemies. As the nude fight in Elden Ring goes, it’s a slightly different approach than Let Me Solo Hers.
The virgin rounds only relied on fists and were able to do short work with Varré, but they required an upgrade of the arsenal to push further into the game. Armed with Wretch’s starting club, the rude guys proved to be more than a match for Margit, Godrick and Rennala. While the bosses themselves went down easily, the game began to struggle under the weight of so many angry guys in tiny pants and even seemed to crash regularly.
By upgrading the club to +25, Mars took the circus through Caelid and Leyndel, pushing all the way to the playoffs before switching to Spiked Caestus to mock Malenia, a boss it took me two days to beat.
They then blew through Mohg and made a last-minute change of clothes to create a crew of Gideon’s Ofnir to smash Elden Beast and take over Elden Throne as Elden Lord.
But was it a fair victory? Obviously, you only rob yourself if you play through the Fire Ring this way. The exquisite dance of melee combat in FromSoft’s opus is meant to be enjoyed solo through tears and clenched teeth, and is thoroughly undermined by the strategy of using a tool like Cheat Engine to repeatedly summon 20 naked men to beat the game for you. Really barbaric.
Games from Mars, dissatisfied with their past crimes against Souls gameplay purity, recently launched another Zerg Rush video incorporating the most despicable of Souls strategies: Elden Ring’s elaborate and very fun spellcasting system.
