Is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree too difficult? There are those who eliminate bosses only with the strength of their mind
Streamer Perrikaryal is completing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree using a device that converts thoughts into game input, a unique feat.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has finally arrived, bringing with it new high-level challenges that apparently are giving many players a hard time. However, this is not the case with perrikaryal , who is completing the expansion without hands, using only the power of thought .
Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, the streamer uses an advanced brain imaging device which, without getting lost in too many technicalities, probes the brain’s activity and then converts specific “thoughts” into game actions . Therefore, you just need to think about a certain action (for example, an attack input is associated with moving a boulder forward) to make the game perform it. Apparently, despite the limitations and difficulties in mastering this peculiar input system (it seems to take hours and hours of training to learn a single action), it did not stop Perrikaryal from tackling Shadow of the Erdtree, as confirmed by the post below where we can see her take down the first boss of the expansion.
A one-of-a-kind undertaking
Also, some of you may remember that we talked about perrikaryal and its thought-based input device before. In fact, the streamer had managed to complete the entire base game with just the strength of her mind . Compared to last year, you have also made substantial progress. Previously, in fact, you still needed a controller to move the character, while now you can do everything completely without hands.
WE DID IT
Shadow of the Erdtree, first boss, COMPLETED with mind control, and ZERO HANDS
