Most of us are lucky enough to say we survived elden ringthe toughest optional bosses of , especially the non-stop barrage of them that awaits us at the end of the game. Ms. Micah but is structured differently. The Twitch streamer recently exploded on social media because she’s the only person who can say she’s defeated elden ring at level one with one hand. She might as well say she did it with one hand tied behind her back.

From footage you can see that she trained her hand to encompass the entire controller. Her palm rests on the main joystick, while her thumb is positioned near the face buttons, allowing her longer fingers to reach for the side buttons. There is almost no room here for panicking button presses, because every little thing has to be considered if you only have to move your hand over the controller for a simple action.

In total, the run lasted a whopping 75 hours of playing time, which they estimated was divided into 14 individual live streams. Her character went for a bleed build that used Ashes of War like Seppuku inflicting a wound on himself in exchange for a damage boost and a higher chance of inflicting a status effect. And before either of you say anything damn, please think about it She went through the game one-handed without levelingso it’s not the same as the katana chuds just spamming R2 with a brain cell.

Not surprisingly, Malenia was the toughest part of the run overall. MissMikkaa estimates that defeating the Blade of Miquella alone took around 12 hours, for a total of 290 fights against the Rot Goddess. While MissMikkaa geared up for a medium throw for much of the game, in this case she stripped her character almost naked for an easy throw against the winged goddess. It’s a clever tactic that has made dodging Malenia’s fast attacks more manageable, especially since then the latest major PVP-centric Patch made the roll faster. Still, it’s also hilarious to see it in action. We’re a long way from it Elden Rings famous naked hero, Let Me Solo Her, known for helping other players defeat Malenia. But can LMSH say he kills Malenia with one hand? I do not think so.

Malenia, one might have guessed, wasn’t the only obstacle standing in MissMikkaa’s way. For quite a while Maliketh shot her with one shot, but that made the moment when she finally destroyed him without being hit once all the cuter. What I like most about this part of the stream is that just before she buckles in to embarrass Maliketh, MissMikkaa talks about her pre-Twitch career path. “I never really knew what I wanted to do, you know?” she said before completing one of the best games of the year.

The biggest surprise, she says, had to be Rennala. For many, Rennala is labeled as one of the easier bosses. But it’s a little different when you go in with special rules.

“I used aiming on most of the bosses so I didn’t have to control the camera as much,” said MissMikkaa. “But I’ve noticed that whenever Rennala is summoned in the second phase, trying to retarget Rennala often causes problems. It may not sound that difficult, but when you only have one hand it can sometimes become a challenge to execute the simplest of inputs. And don’t make me start aiming at her candy…”

The final moments of the run were intimate. Yes, Radagon and Elden Beast were difficult because they are two consecutive bosses, one of which has two phases. If you kill one, you still have to kill the other. But when she finally did, Miss Mikkaa stood confidently under the Elden Beast’s towering gaze, a sword in each hand. When the last blow came, she let out a laugh.

“Oh my god, we did it,” she gasped. “Eldenbeast! Deleted!” she exclaimed. She raised both hands to her head in disbelief. One arm was covered with a Twitch sock. She didn’t need it.

If you want to cosplay as MissMikkaa, you should know what she ran with. The build used items that increase base stats like Radagon’s Seal of Wounds, the Ritual Shield (which reduces damage by 30% when you’re at full health), the Ritual Sword (increases damage by 10% when HP is replenished), and a rotating set of other talismans. These included Lord of Blood’s Exultation, Millicent’s Prosthesis, and the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman, depending on what the situation called for. For bosses that didn’t bleed, she opted for elements like fire or lightning instead. And of course, since she made this Run Mid-Big patch, she always wore the essentials Opaline Hardtear which is now one of the best items in the game.

“I’m proud of my accomplishments and hope those who have heard of or witnessed them will be inspired to take on such challenges for themselves!” she said in a message. “When I overcome such challenges, I see people doubting their own abilities, I don’t want that, I want to encourage them!”
