My Boyfriend bet me $500 that I couldn’t beat Elden ring in 6 months with little to no video game experience. Humor

The rules of the bet:

  1. No magic
  2. Only Melee
  3. No farming for runes
  4. Have to beat the entire game by June, 6th, 2024

I am currently on the last boss of the game with 89 hours played. I hope the last boss doesn’t take me 5 months. 😂

Lmao I don’t understand these rules at all.

GGs on the free $500 and (I hope!) having enjoyed the game

lol me neither. Magic builds make a lot of bosses more difficult. It’s not like it’s an easy mode build like it is in Demon’s Souls

I struggled more with my magic build than with my melee. A lot of the fights are pretty close quarters or involve adds that do little damage but are hell on casting.

Shit I couldn’t walk up the front steps of the academy because of the two mages at the top. It took me 3 hours to walk up those steps.
