This Elden Ring player punked an endgame boss with a starting item

The Bewitching Branch doesn’t rank high on our list of Elden Ring Keepsakes: you can find the item throughout the game, and more crucially, its utility seems situational. While turning enemies into temporary allies is an interesting and useful tactic, it’s less impressive once you consider the game’s extensive Spirit Ash summoning system.

However, one area where the Bewitching Branch can prove useful is the Commander Niall boss fight in Castle Sol, a dungeon found in the late-game Mountaintops of the Giants area. Niall himself is a classically difficult FromSoftware acrobatic big-armored sword guy—see also Artorias, Gwyn, and Isshin Ashina from previous games. He’d be hard enough on his own, but he opens the fight by summoning two ghost knights to fight alongside him. They’re big, mean, fast, and have varied, punishing movesets.
