Streamers have been discovering artistic methods to play video games for years, however FromSoftware content material creators appear to take issues to the subsequent degree. Having already crushed the DLC with a controller, MissMikkaa is now tackling Shadow of the Erdtree utilizing a dance pad.

On the time of writing, MissMikkaa has conquered a couple of bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree, together with epic dance-offs with the Dancing Lion and Renalla. She’s additionally been defeating a couple of lesser-known bosses alongside the best way, typically in a single encounter. Nonetheless, as she continues this run, she’ll nearly actually hit a wall of issue on the ultimate boss, which has given nearly everybody a very good 500 deaths earlier than lastly falling.

Shadow of the Erdtree is draining sufficient with out the dance pad

FromSoftware’s Shadow of the Erdtree growth for Elden Ring brings a couple of new mechanics to the desk that make it tougher than the bottom sport, even for veterans. A brand new degree system makes it really feel like beginning contemporary, and mastering every new weapon and each assault sample from every boss is exhausting sufficient.

When you think about that MissMikkaa’s competing with all of that and leaping round to press each button required, this run sounds crushingly troublesome and maddening to get your head round. I battle to make use of a dance pad for precise dancing video games, not to mention a Soulsborne title.

As for a way this works, the dance pad is about as much as take the fundamental inputs you’d use on a controller. Some inputs, similar to double tapping a directional button, set off operating, however every part is just about set out as you possibly can see it on-screen. Should you watch the clips of MissMikkaa tackling these bosses, you possibly can see how she’s already realized their assault patterns, permitting her to dodge, leap, and heal when she is aware of she’s protected earlier than moving into for her assaults.

This isn’t the primary time MissMikkaa’s tackled a FromSoftware sport with a dance pad. Her most spectacular feat in Elden Ring was beating two runs of it concurrently. One utilizing a controller, and the opposite utilizing a dance pad. I’ve little doubt that the streamer has plans to do precisely the identical factor in Shadow of the Erdtree as soon as she’s efficiently crushed it on each the controller and dance pad individually.

Soulslike video games are a number of the greatest to observe anybody play. Viewers can get a way of the participant’s frustration and elation on the subject of bosses so simply. Shadow of the Erdtree is likely to be the most important problem on the subject of what the style has to supply thus far, so I’d count on somebody on the market to take enjoying it in new methods even additional on stream fairly quickly. That’s if MissMikkaa doesn’t outdo herself first.
