Elden Ring Streamer Beats Malenia With A Dance Pad

thegamer.com:

Turns out all you need to do to beat Malenia in Elden Ring is challenge her to a dance battle. Or at least make sure you really put your everything into the fight - including your feet. One streamer is showing off her epic defeat of the Goddess of Rot using only her feet and a soft dance pad. While we were all struggling to find the perfect strategy to dodge that golden blade, this streamer simply two-stepped her.

Streamer Luality has shared her fight with Malenia on YouTube. However, the full-body video does not include your average streaming set-up. Instead, it showcases the player using her trusty Konami dance pad to take on the Elden Ring boss. That’s right, you don’t need a fancy controller or even an expensive dance pad to show Malenia who's boss, just your everyday soft dance pad and some metal bar support. Oh, and some sick dance moves.

This fight is a must-see for anyone who has struggled through the encounter. Seeing Malenia put in her place with dance moves when some players have spent hours respeccing, leveling up that Rivers of Blood Katana, and seeking out the best summons, is both awe-inspiring and a little frustrating. Because while seeing the boss taken down without the use of a controller is impressive, it is also annoying to see someone beat her with just their feet when all my spells, swords, shields, and summons couldn’t make a dent against her for the first sixty attempts.

Of course, taking on any boss in Elden Ring, let alone one of the toughest, with a dance pad does require skill. If you, like me, can trip over your own two feet just walking across the sidewalk, I don’t think the “Dance, Dance, Revolution” method is for you.
