Streamer MissMikkaa has finally defeated two versions of Elden Ring boss Malenia, throughout a challenge that sees her playing the games simultaneously using different controllers – one of which is a dance pad.
Described by MissMikkaa because the “ultimate challenge run”, the streamer happens to be attempting to beat two copies of Elden Ring, controlling one version of the sport having a PS5 DualSense controller and the other with a dance pad. To make things harder, another self-imposed limitation sees her taking on every boss at the same time, both in games.
MissMikkaa started the task last December, beating both Margit and Godrick 72 hours into her run.
Yesterday, MissMikka finally defeated Malenia Blade of Miquella, who is widely regarded as the toughest boss hanging around. Sharing this news on her behalf Twitter, she wrote: “After Three days and 199 tries Malenia is dead in the Ultimate Challenge Run where I play Elden Ring twice simultaneously (with a dance pad & controller). At first I wasn't even confident that this run was possible.”
MissMikka bested Malenia using a bleed build with Flamberge and Seppuku Ash of War (Occult infusion) in both games. “Malenia has finally know DE-FEET!,” added MissMikka on Twitter.
MissMikka has previously beaten Elden Ring using only one hand, while last September she completed the epic fantasy game using her feet along with a dance mat. This current run sees her repeating both those challenges, simultaneously.
Her next stop around the “2 Elden Ring, 1 Girl” challenge takes on Radagon and Elden Beast – follow her progress on Twitch.
Other players took on Elden Ring using a harp, a modded Fisher Price controller, in addition to some bananas.
Last summer, it had been revealed that Malenia was originally said to be even harder than she currently is.
Following their win as Bet on The Year at The 2023 Game Awards Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki hinted at “several more things” set to come to the action role-playing game.
