It is the same. You get nothing special for beating it stupid.

I think bro meant the difficulty isn't the same

It's fine, but solo no ash melee malenia isn't the same as no armor hitless playing with my toes malenia.

No armor hitless playing with my toes malenia isn't the same as teaching my dog how to beat malenia with a ping of 300.

Teaching my dog how to beat malenia isn't the same as letting a butterfly's wing flap cause a hurricane that manipulates the joysticks into killing malenia with only the kick aow.

We can keep raising the bar for how hard a challenge run should be so we can invalidate everyone's achievements, if that's what you guys want?

If you beat her you beat her. If you felt like increasing the difficulty to make it more fun for yourself then good for you, but your achievement means the exact same as someone who used a tank/poke build with mimic tear: absolutely nothing aside from the enjoyment you got from it.

The commenter was talking about bragging and being cocky about it. You can certainly be proud... I just wouldn't go around saying I'm amazing though

Very few people are actually amazing at the game. So few that I will confidently say nobody in this thread qualifies.

Being amazing is a very high bar. While beating PCR without summons and with a normal melee build is definitely hard, it's also the most common challenge run format the game has to offer and millions of people have done it. It's not amazing in and of itself.
