Twitch streamer and American television personality Dan "DanGheesling" Gheesling has finally defeated the toughest boss in Elden Ring after 2,999 attempts.

Dan Gheesling's clip went viral last month after he expressed his frustration in the most unique way after dying to Malenia, Blade of Miquella 2,000 times in a row.

The Twitch streamer was ecstatic when he was finally able to defeat the same boss after spending more than hundreds of hours in-game:

At the four-hour mark of a recent livestream, the 38-year-old video creator was able to achieve a long-overdue victory.

After the 2,999th failed attempt, the Twitch streamer managed to reach the second phase of the boss, during which Malenia transforms herself into the Goddess of Rot. As he got closer to killing her, Dan started to hype up his viewers by saying:
