Even if it did take 553 tries and around 15 hours.
MissMikkaa is an absolute machine. While most spend their time trying to beat Elden Ring under ordinary circumstances, she’s been doing things differently. Not only has she previously beaten the game with one hand and started a level one run of the game with a goddamn dance pad, but she’s also now managed to use it to defeat one of the game’s most formidable foes.
Yep, MissMikkaa has taken down Malenia with a level one character, using nothing more than a dance pad and occasionally the keyboard to recentre the camera. She posted a snippet of the moment to Twitter, saying it took 553 tries over the course of 15 hours.
I DID IT! I killed Malenia LEVEL 1 with a DANCE PAD! It took me 553 tries and over 15 hours. I only used 4 healing flasks on the kill. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! W pic.twitter.com/Z8jNMUQcXYOctober 2, 2022
The level of commitment is mighty impressive, and some have even pointed out that it took the streamer fewer attempts on a dance pad than it did for other players using a controller or keyboard and mouse.
As if the kill already wasn’t impressive enough, she also revealed that she only needed to use four healing flasks during that attempt. Next on the list is defeating Maliketh, which MissMikkaa spent the rest of her stream heading towards.
As someone who has too little patience and skill to persist with FromSoft’s library, I can’t help but be in total awe and admiration of MissMikkaa’s skills. It’s always fun to see the wild peripherals people use to make a game more challenging or entertaining. Earlier this year we saw SuperLouis64—a streamer who is always conjuring up silly and themed controllers—defeat Godrick with a controller made from bananas. My personal favourite of his is perhaps when he played Dark Souls 3 with a Ring Fit controller, and had to jog on the spot to get his character to move.
