I always look at pics like these and can't help but speculate that the artist had such a tough time with the Elden Soulsborne boss that they release their frustrations through pieces like this.
because there ain't no way that this generic ass elf mage who's from a generic Magic the Gathering/D&D/Isekai setting is defeating the literal god of the Elden Ring verse that easily.
there's literally a demigod who conquered the stars themselves just so he could keep all the horrors of the void at bay, and he is far beneath the Elden Beast.
before you go off, try to separate fixed gameplay mechanics from real combat, if there were a tv series of Elden Ring rest assured battles wouldn't just be contained in a small area blocked off by fog where a tarnished performs 50 roles per minute and his foe can be stun-locked to death.
