Elon Musk may be the master of many things but Elden Ring ain’t one of them. In May 2022, he shared his build for the in-game combat which instantly became a subject of mockery across the internet. His bloated mess includes a couple of swords and shields alongside a staff. With that kind of build, the already challenging game may become a nightmare for anyone.
But it’s all about skills. Interestingly, a player chose to try it in-game and, surprisingly, beat Malenia, a major boss in the game, with it. The two-phase demigod is an optional boss with which players may or may not choose to engage. Her twin brother Miquella who is seen inside a cocoon will appear in its upcoming downloadable content (DLC), Shadow of the Erdtree.
It’s Not The Build But The Skill
The first phase of the boss, Blade of Miquella, was easy to defeat for the user in contrast to her second phase, Goddess of Rot. However, the player did not exactly defeat Malenia as he was using Mimic Tear Spirit Ashes, an ability in the game that summons a clone that engages with the enemy.
In a video that called Elon’s inventory, “the worst build of all time,” a user commented, “its called the “CEO build”, where he sits back and eventually other people will do the work for him.” However, it is a mystery to fans that the Tesla CEO actually used it in the game. He has expressed in the past that he is a long-time fan of video games.
It is a possibility that he posted the photo of the build for fun given that he was at level 111, which is respectable. A player with such an advanced level is less likely to use such inventory. Or maybe not, he is Elon Musk. A CEO has got to experiment with things.
Elon Musk Might Have Advanced From Level 111 in Elden Ring By Now
It appears like Elon Musk found an admirer in the comments section of the YouTube video. A user dubbed m.l.2871 wrote:
Do you think Elon Musk beat Malenia? Tell us in the comments.
