Elden Ring Player Beats Malenia With a Broken Arm and a Level 1 Character

An Elden Ring player has achieved the mind-boggling feat of single-handedly beating Malenia at Rune Level 1, quite literally. While the Elden Ring community is quite well acquainted with some outlandish challenges, this seems to have taken it to a different league altogether.
