The goldfish who previously defeated the first phase of Elden Ring's Malenia fight has made a triumphant return, making Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss look easy with a fin-tastic display of skill.

Our hero is Tortellini, a noble goldfish who belongs to content creator Eric 'PointCrow' Morino. PointCrow has already proved just how good his fish is at Elden Ring when given access to the right tools – with a unique setup, Tortellini is able to input controller commands simply by swimming around in his tank. Depending on where he swims to, he's able to 'press' different buttons, and he's now been able to defeat Promised Consort Radahn this way, too.

A real-life goldfish just beat Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss, and this one did it without committing credit card fraud

We love you, Tortellini

From Software have a lot to answer for.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Knowing a certain Low IQ sub-group of FromSoft fans, this is probably gonna be the new "A literal dog did a quarter-circle motion, you have no excuses".

 

[Dai Kaiju]

That’s quite the niche.

 

[RoboFu]

People will believe anything.

 

[PanzerCute]

And yet some people still ask for an easy mode.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Smells fishy. I think there were hoaxes like this in the past?

[Johnny Concrete]

Git gold.

 

[Skifi28]

Insects are next I suppose. What's your excuse?

 

[BlackTron]

The concept is that the commands are input by the fish swimming to different areas of the tank. If you had enough video footage of the battle, you could analyze it to verify it's not a hoax by confirming the same input is triggered by moving in the same area. If the longer video doesn't even exist, lol what a joke.

A literal dog did a quarter-circle motion, you have no excuses.

Has a twitch streamer shown a monkey hitting random keys on a typewriter to successfully write Shakespeare yet?

 

[Gonzito]

Man I just cant stand these streamers

 

[RagnarokIV]

Better than a virtual gold fish beating the game I guess?

 

[saintjules]

So wait, he didn't actually use his own hands to beat the boss? I don't know anything about fishies.
