Ok, it’s technically more a porcupine strat, but how quickly it happened definitely has echoes of Sonic.

By the time they downed the Elden Beast at around the eight hour mark of the run, Distortion2 was up to a total of 26 deaths, and this was the point at which they properly headed for the Haligtree in search of everyone’s favorite waterfowl dancer, seemigly having failed to topple her earlier in the run. He scythed through her at the first time of asking on he return, casually declaring afterwards that it was a “good fight”, in the same tone you’d say some toast you had for breafast was ok.

Then, he blazed through the DLC, slapping up Messmer at around the nine and a half hour mark, and finishing things off with the Promised Consort just before hitting 13 hours. 50 deaths in total, Elden Ring’s major bosses all done for.

Does he reccomend the spell after having done all of that with it? Not really, no. He did, however, show off his build at the end, in case you want to try going hedgehog mode for yourself.
