Warning, there are spoilers for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Well, if you recall, FromSoft showed off FromSoft’s Infernal Aspect: Spell of Thorns in official Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree images, which we got long before it was released. Yeah, the one that turns your tarnished person into a hedgehog, kind of? Well, now someone has beaten the entire base game and DLC in less than 13 hours using it alone.
To be fair, we probably shouldn’t be too surprised considering Shadow of the Erdtree has already been defeated by the streamer on the dance mat, who then simultaneously mesmerized Messmer or two.

This time, Elden Ring challenge running experts Distortion2 took matters into their own hands, deciding to use what they describe as “one of the worst spells” in the game to defeat every boss from Margit to the Elden Beast and Promised. Princess Dane.
Using only the Thorns spell and some crappy robes to keep his yellow tarnish safe, the streamer’s first attempt at the first boss ultimately resulted in him running out of potions and quickly having to give up. But, as all good Elden Ringers do, he persevered and made great progress in mastering the best angles for his quill attacks, and managed to defeat the boss on his second try, only to It took more than an hour.

Distortion2’s death toll reached 26 when they took down the Beast of Eldon around eight hours into the game, just as they were heading to Halligtree in search of everyone’s favorite Waterfowl Dancer, it seemed. Earlier campaigns failed to unseat her. He lashes out at her when she first asks if he’s back, then nonchalantly declares it was a “good fight,” like you’d say some toast for breakfast will do.
He then came out firing on all cylinders in the DLC, defeating Messmer at around 9 and a half hours, and finishing the battle with the Promised Consort 13 hours earlier. A total of 50 people died, and all the main bosses of “Elden Ring” were defeated.
After all this, would he recommend this spell? Not really, no. However, he does show off his size at the end, in case you want to try hedgehog mode yourself.
