While we've come to appreciate the many masochistic ways in which some players choose to engage with FromSoftware's already difficult games, there is something immensely satisfying in seeing its big bads be brought low by statistical dominance.

In the anxiety-inducing clip below, Ainrun stacks all sorts of temporary buffs, seemingly on a stringent time frame, resulting in a single thrust dealing over 93K damage to Consort Radahn, finishing the two-phase fight before it even really begins. It's an impressive display of dominance, and if you're interested in the mechanical nitty-gritty of how it was achieved, IGN delved into what is likely going on beneath the hood. Since this initial effort, Ainrun managed to crack the 100K mark, which he described as his "magnum opus".
