Elden Ring recently received its first major expansion. Shadow of the Erdtree is a profound addition to the already phenomenal game that adds much to the title’s lore and gameplay. Naturally, the expansion is the topic of conversation for Soulsborne fans worldwide.
Recently, Kai Cenat, a popular streamer, announced that he would be doing a marathon of FromSoftware titles to come out to date. Another YouTuber took on the challenge of completing the recently released expansion, and he passed with flying colors and gained much-deserved appreciation.
Despite His Barebones Elden Ring Build, NoahJ Only Took 19 Hours to Beat Shadow of the Erdtree’s Final Boss
Shadow of the Erdtree is gaining much popularity for being one of the most anticipated expansions to release in recent times. More importantly, according to fans, the expansion feels like a completely new game. It also simultaneously does what every FromSoftware expansion is known for: it substantially cranks up the difficulty from the base game.
After its release, many streamers and content creators began sharing their playthroughs with their audiences. While most players were optimizing their build, equipping best-in-class talismans, and every other shebang offered by the game, a NoahJ seemingly brute-forced his way around the title and completed it with his barebones build.
The YouTuber also celebrated his achievement using a Twitter post and revealed that he died over 1000 times:

Just a man and a big stick.

Since Kai Cenat recently announced his Soulsborne marathon, people began pitting the two against each other for the better. This was because the former has managed to struggle in previous games, like any other first-time player:

In 2024, especially after the success of FromSoftware games, it is common knowledge that Soulsborne games are challenging. When one adds that to Kai Cenat’s persona and his reaction to bosses, defeat and various other situations, it makes for an exciting stream to watch.
How Kai Cenat is Faring in Shadow of the Erdtree
Kai Cenat is one of the most popular video game streamers. It was natural that Soulsborne fans and fans of the streamer were excited to see him pick up all of the games by FromSoftware and attempt to beat them one by one.
The Streamer recently managed to defeat the sixth main boss in the expansion:

The streamer also reacted to one of his peers, Ludwig, managing to beat the expansion before him, and it seems like he was genuinely at a loss for words:
