As much as the classic FromSoftware RPG is renowned for its difficulty, some streamers choose to take things to a whole new level. Enter: MissMikka, an Elden Ring streamer who successfully defeated the toughest boss in Elden Ring on a gamepad and a dance mat simultaneously.
This feat of Herculean soulsborne prowess is, perhaps, the highlight of MissMikka's quest to complete two concurrent playthroughs of Elden Ring with a dance pad and a DualSense.
