Gamers Beat Elden Ring DLC Bosses with Mind Control Tactics

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has proven to be a true challenge, but that hasn't stopped dedicated players like streamer Perrikaryal from beating the first two bosses using only mind control. Perrikaryal, known for completing the entire base game with a brain-activity-measuring headset, has tackled the Divine Beast Dancing Lion and Rellana the Twin Moon Knight with impressive skill and determination. The streamer shared that staying calm during fights is key to success in these high-pressure scenarios. Their innovative approach adds an extra layer of complexity to an already difficult game, showcasing both the DLC's toughness and the capabilities of mind-controlled gameplay.

Perrikaryal uses a special headset that measures brain activity and translates it into game inputs, allowing them to control their character with their mind, effectively playing without using their hands.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, has been a massive hit since its release, acclaimed for its meticulous world-building, challenging gameplay, and deep lore. Collaborating with famed author George R. R. Martin, the game takes place in the Lands Between, a fantastical realm filled with powerful enemies and intricate stories. Shadow of the Erdtree, its first DLC, continues this tradition, adding new bosses and areas that further challenge even the most seasoned players.
