One Elden Ring player just defeated the game’s final boss using the most unlikely of peripherals — a dance pad from Dance Dance Revolution. Ever since Elden Ring first launched to near-universal acclaim and chart-topping sales figures last month, players have been uncovering interesting tricks to help make the typically punishing FromSoftware-developed action RPG a little easier. Fans have used items like Elden Ring's Freezing Pot to counter Malenia's devastating Waterfowl Dance attack, tricked a pair of Valiant Gargoyles into leaping off a cliff to their doom, and even utilized helpful potions and Spirit Ash summons to clear Elden Ring's story campaign without performing a single physical attack of their own.

Other Elden Ring players have used mods to add a handy Pause Screen or the ability to summon powerful spirits like Godfrey, The First Elden Lord or even a living boulder to crush their foes with little difficulty. While most of these Elden Ring tricks and mods are aimed at making the game somewhat easier to complete, some players have gone in the other direction — adding to Elden Ring's challenge by playing the game with an unconventional control scheme. These unorthodox Elden Ring controllers have included the hoop-like Ring Fit Adventure controller and even a bunch of bananas rigged to a circuit box in a makeshift Human Interface Device.
