At this point, I have to wonder if rumours of Elden Ring’s difficulty haven’t been greatly exaggerated. Over the last few months, I’ve reported on some of the craziest ways players worldwide have been playing the game. It all started with the Twitch Streamer who used a dance mat to take on, and best, one of the game’s hardest bosses.
Then, another UK-based streamer started Elden Ring using an Electroencephalogram and playing through the game using her mind. But it didn’t end there, no. Last month yet another Elden Ring Steamer decided to put their spin on things and started to beat the game’s bosses using only an acoustic guitar. Again, it feels like this game can’t possibly be as hard as all the regular mouse, keyboard, and controller wielders made it out to be.
Today’s crazy Elden Ring story is all about how a YouTuber named ymfah has just managed to get through all of Elden Ring without ever walking with their characters. If this statement confuses you, this is what it means; ymfah managed to get through the entire game without using the left analogue stick on their controller or WASD on a keyboard. Instead, they only used the bandit class’s light attack and Quickstep to move forward throughout the game.
This isn’t the kind of achievement that words can do justice though, so if you still find yourself unsure of how ymfah was able to pull this madness off you successfully can watch his video here:
