5 Unique Ways Elden Ring Streamers Conquered Bosses & The Game
Popular streamer Kai Cenat managed to complete Elden Ring after undergoing therapy sessions, week-long marathons, and having breakdowns while live. He is worth a mention before moving on to the other streamers that conquered the game:-
MissMikkaa Completed Elden Ring With A Level 1 Character
Date | May 2024 |
Channels | YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, X |
It took 2145 deaths, 8 playthroughs, and a total game time of 269 hours but MissMikkaa managed to defeat all 165 bosses in Elden Ring. While completing the main game is a feat in itself, the popular streamer finished Elden with a Level 1 character, plus she played on the hardest difficulty.
Posting on X, MissMikkaa mentioned that she used no magic abilities such as summons, great runes, throwing pots, or incantations. It was warm-up for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. In the most recent news, the streamer completed the DLC on a dance mat.
TiavoliGaming Dominated An Godfrey With A Violin
Date | January 2024 |
Channels | Twitch |
A huge fan of souls-like games, TiavoliGaming made the headlines when clips of him defeating the Elden Ring boss Godfrey with a violin started circulating online. The streamer hit a few strings to make the character move the way he wanted. Interestingly, he did the same for Dark Souls and Sekiro gameplays.
During an interview, Tiavoli revealed the details behind the complicated setup: the frequency of the violin notes is converted to a MIDI signal, which is then converted into a prompt on the keyboard. It was a delicate setup because he had to be careful not to hit the wrong note, or else it would lead to a wrong action. Kudos to him for such an effort!
Perrikaryal Defeated Boss Melania With Her Mind
Date | April 2023 |
Social Channels | Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X |
Malenia is one of the most difficult bosses in Elden Ring but Perrikaryal made short work of her by literally using her mind. She created a device with sensors that picked the impulses from her brain, which were then transformed into controller actions in the game. In a YouTube video titled ‘How I Play Elden Ring With My Mind,’ Perrikaryal revealed more details about her setup.
The mind control run of the Souls-like is certainly unique. Perri is currently busy trying to finish Shadow of the Erdtree with the same device.
HYP3RSOMNIAC Completed Elden Ring Within Four Minutes
Date | August 2022 |
Social Channels | YouTube, Twitch |
Twitch streamer and YouTube HYP3RSOMNIAC took the pacifistic route to ‘conquer’ Elden Ring. They set the record for the fastest ‘Any% unrestricted completion’ of Elden Ring, having beaten the game in 3 minutes 56 seconds. As of writing, HYP3RSOMNIAC is still registered as a Guinness Book World Record holder, having beaten the previous record of SeekerTV.
HYP3RSOMNIAC used the infamous ‘zip glitch’ to avoid key boss battles and moments in the game, teleporting from one place to another in seconds. By the time new players could understand anything about what was going on, the ending credits began to roll out.

Seki Became The First To Complete Elden Ring “No-Hit/No Damage Run”
Date | April 2022 |
Social Channels | Twitch, YouTube, X |
Seki completed the herculean challenge of not only taking any damage from Elden Ring enemies or Bosses but also avoiding any traps or potential falls. He had to be extra careful of avoiding swamps because any damage would have meant starting from square one. His whole gameplay is captured in a 3-hour-long video on YouTube.
As players may have guessed, Seki used a Dexterity/Intelligence build. He relied on his ranged and magic spells to clear most mobs and defeat Bosses. YouTuber GinoMachino also deserves a mention as he completed a similar challenge, squashing all Elden Ring bosses without taking damage.
The list of unique ways to conquer the Elden Ring is bound to increase in the future as streamers find new ways to challenge themselves in the popular Souls-like.
