YouTuber Iron Pineapple uploaded a video titled \u201cCan You Beat Elden Ring While Over the MAX Equip Load?\u201d and as the title suggests, they challenged themselves to clear the game while over-encumbered, which comes with a great deal of hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following article contains spoilers of Elden Ring<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Elden Ring<\/strong><\/em> is the latest action RPG from FromSoftware, and the playable character has a stat called Equip Load, which is determined by the total weight of currently equipped weapons and armor. It affects the character\u2019s ability to dodge roll; for example, keeping the Equip Load 29.99% or lower will allow the character to long roll, and hitting the 70% mark will make the character fat roll (slow and short rolls). If you go over 100%, the character becomes over-encumbered, inflicting penalties such as the inability to dodge, backstep, and jump. They\u2019ll move slower as well, although they can still crouch or ride Torrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, clearing the game in an over-encumbered state can be troublesome. Iron Pineapple has done other challenges in the past, such as beating the game at level 1, but their latest challenge is quite experimental. To make the character overloaded right from the beginning, they modified the save data and added heavy weapons to equip but made sure not to use them during the playthrough.
