Summary
A 72-year-oldElden Ringplayer has pulled off a ridiculous accomplishment after beating both the base game and theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC on NG+7. This would be an impressive achievement for anyElden Ringplayer, but this gamer has managed it at 72 years old.
Elden Ringis arguably one of the toughest FromSoftware games to date. Part of the appeal of games from this developer is their high difficulty, with most players needing tons of patience to make it through the trials and tribulations. However, someElden Ringplayers put self-imposed restrictions on themselves to make the experience even harder. For example, oneElden Ringplayer managed to beat a tough DLC boss using a dance pad. These bosses are hard enough as they are, and the fact that some can beat them with a dance pad shows the level of mastery some players have over the game.
Redditor vuduthmb has claimed the title of the oldest gamer to completeElden Ringand theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC on NG+7, which requires a total of eight playthroughs of the game. They joked that they have the title “until some other old fart steps forward to claim the title.“Elden Ring’s New Game Plusis the toughest way to play the game, and would be an epic achievement worth celebrating for any player. Crediting some in the community with helpful tips and information, vuduthmb has managed to completeElden RingNG+7 at 72 years old.

Massive achievements like this are a great reminder that gaming is for everyone. There’s no age limit on gaming, and it’s not something that people simply “grow out of,” contrary to some belief, and there are gamers of all ages doing amazing things all the time. Just recently, there was oneBlack Ops 6player who managed to score a Tactical Nukein the FPS game, showing that age really is just a number when it comes to keeping up with the younger generations.
After the release ofElden RingandShadow of the Erdtree, gamers waited patiently to find out what was coming next from FromSoftware. At this month’s Game Awards, it was finallyconfirmed to beElden Ring Nightreign, a brand-new co-op game set in theElden Ringuniverse. Author George R.R. Martin won’t be involved this time around, and it will be fascinating to see how the developer translates its iconic Soulslike formula into a fully-fledged co-op experience.
