One unluckyElden Ringplayer had an exceptionally hard time defeating the final boss in the game’s newShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion, being blocked from entering the arena entirely. The player was summoned to help fight Promised Consort Radahn, a boss some claim is the toughest battle inElden Ring, but was quickly killed in an unusual way before they could even meet Radahn face to face.

However, one player had trouble even accessing the boss fight arena in a hilarious yet tragic new clip.
Reddit user davidoff-sensei shared a clip of them attempting to help another player defeatPromised Consort Radahn inShadow of the Erdtree. However, the player was summoned into another player’s world after the fight had begun, meaning Radahn was already dishing out a few of his fearsome attacks. One of these attacks clipped through the fog wall, knocking the summoned player back and off the edge, killing them before they could even make it into the arena.

Not only did the original player lose a co-op partner, but the instant death of the summoned player made Radahn even harder.Summoning a player inElden Ringbefore a boss fight will buff the enemy’s health as a way to account for the higher damage output of multiple players. However, with the summoner losing their help, Radahn was essentially granted a free health buff. The clip appears to show another summon also getting knocked back by the attack, but it’s unclear whether or not they survived the attack.
