In a stunning display of power in Elden Ring Nightreign, a player reached a damage cap of 9,999 using the Marais Executioner Sword after defeating 727 enemies. The sword, designed to increase its attack power upon slaying foes, typically has a limited synergy due to time constraints from the game's storm mechanics. However, player mintius managed to exploit enemy spawn mechanics effectively, leading to a frenzy of damage that ultimately resulted in a dramatic overflow, causing them to be unable to deal any damage after hitting peak performance. Mintius aims to further test the potential of this weapon to uncover its ultimate limits and possibilities, exemplifying the intoxicating blend of risk and reward that the Elden Ring experience offers.
