Twitch Streamer Completes No-Hit Elden Ring Run Using an Electric Saxophone
Like other FromSoftware action RPGs, Elden Ring is notorious for its brutal difficulty, with a no-damage run that is not impossible but a challenging feat to accomplish. But one Twitch streamer managed to conquer this challenge with an unconventional controller: an electric saxophone.
Last night, I beat Elden Ring (any%) without taking a single hit while using an electric saxophone as a game controller; the World's First No-Hit Run of Elden Ring using a non-traditional controller (e.g. dance pad, Guitar Hero controller, etc).THE HITLESS DOOT RUN IS COMPLETE! pic.twitter.com/6jhtC7luzU
Streamer DrDeComposing broadcasted himself taking less than 2.5 hours to beat Elden Ring without taking any damage. DrDeComposing touts himself as the first to complete a no-hit run of Elden Ring using a nontraditional controller, noting his previous personal best using the electric saxophone to play Elden Ring was no deaths and only one hit.
What's even more interesting is this is not DrDeComposing's first attempt at using an electric saxophone as a nontraditional controller to play video games — his entire Twitch channel is focused on him playing games using his digital wind instrument the Roland AE-10 aerophone.
According to his Twitch channel, he has beaten other Soulsborne games like the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, and Demon's Souls Remake using the device, with some of those playthroughs including beating the game using a level one character build or completing the game without any deaths. Aside from sax-controller FromSoftware game playthroughs, DrDeComposing has also beaten other games like Cuphead, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild using the device.
