Elden Ring is a whole lot easier if you’ve got a mech suit.

The Lands Between are not known for their forgiving nature. To stay alive in this brutal world, you need powerful offensive capabilities, and a decent amount of armour for when the game’s fearsome foes do land a hit. But Elden Ring player Adam Barker has found a clever way to turn the tide of battles - by essentially building a mech suit.

A YouTube video shows Barker using the Ironjar Aromatic, a consumable item that uses FP to turn his Tarnished’s body to steel. To his mixed Physik, he adds the Cerulean Hidden Tear to stop FP consumption and Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear, which converts damage received into HP.

  • A woman in a space helmet stares at something off the screen in Arc Raiders You can ride around on Arc Raiders' new Fireflies, but you probably shouldn't: "Straight to the backrooms"

He then unleashes Unendurable Frenzy, an incantation that causes yellow flames to spew from the eyes, causing heavy damage to those caught in it. Barker sums up his creation in the video's description, saying, “New Armored Core looks good”.

The results of this powerful mix can be seen below.

Barker tears through enemies and also causes havoc in the world's of many unsuspecting players, quickly annihilating them with the mech build. But the seemingly indestructible Tarnished is eventually taken down by a team of three and some potent magic. 

The player is now working on a full commentary video explaining how to make your own mech suit. With this nearly unstoppable build, invasions are about to get a lot more terrifying.

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and Games Radar. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
