IsfooPoE killed Arbiter of Ash without weapons, armor, jewelry, flasks, or jewels in a December 2025 clip that has the action RPG community asking how this even happened.
The trick is simple on paper and brutal in practice: IsfooPoE uses unarmed dash skills that trigger lightning strikes, then places ice walls that the lightning detonates for burst damage. The combo does surprisingly high damage for a character wearing essentially a t-shirt and pants, while the player dodge-rolls through the boss’s attacks with the kind of timing you’d expect in a FromSoftware fight.
Watch the clip here for the full run and timing details.
The video stands out because it strips away the usual context for boss kills: no gear to show off, no expensive items to farm or trade. Path of Exile 2 has been through big swings this year, including the game’s recent update that added a new class and balance changes, but this clip is a reminder that players still find wild ways to bend the rules and the systems Grinding Gear Games shipped.
For anyone studying the run: the damage comes from the dash-triggered lightning and the interaction with the ice walls, while survival hinges on perfect mobility. It’s a tight, mechanical showcase rather than a gear showcase, and that’s why it’s grabbed attention.
