Elden Ring Streamer Defeats Shadow of the Erdtree’s Final Boss on PS5 and PC Simultaneously — Using a DualSense and a Dance Pad

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the final boss of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Elden Ring streamer MissMikkaa has successfully defeated Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss on PC and PlayStation 5 simultaneously while using a dance pad and a DualSense at the same time, marking the end of an impressive challenge run.

“2X RADAHN HAS BEEN DEFEATED! 4 days of 239 non-stop tries (14 hours) in my Ultimate Challenge run where I play Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree two times simultaneously, on dance pad & controller,” tweeted the streamer after defeating the DLC. “I really thought this might be impossible in the DLC, but holyyy.. I did it.”

Shadow of the Erdtree’s bosses are legendarily difficult at the best of times — focusing on one game of Elden Ring using a traditional controller is no-doubt what FromSoftware president Hidetake Miyazaki and his team had in mind when setting the difficulty for the game. However, none among the DLC’s pantheon of enemies are as fearsome as its final boss, Promised Consort Radahn, who assaults the player with a relentless barrage of physical, gravity, and holy attacks, along with the upsettingly powerful meteor strike seen in the base game.

Quite how MissMikkaa was able to overcome two of these brutes at the same time while controlling Tarnished using a traditional controller for one, and button presses triggered by stepping on a pressure-sensitive dance pad for another, is frankly a little beyond us.

The streamer was able to perform an entire run of the DLC in this fashion, while enduring “685 (x2)” Tarnished deaths in the process. 35% of these were incurred in the final Radahn boss fight. MissMikkaa was also kind enough to share her complete build, which could prove a useful template to players struggling with the climax of the DLC. Be sure to check out IGN’s Elden Ring guide to find out exactly where you can get the items.

“The final build was level 194 with 60 vigor, 54 endurance & strength, 40 faith and 33 mind,” MissMikkaa tweeted. “I was using a Giant Crusher with Prayerful Strike. Talismans were: Crimson Seed Talisman +1, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Shard of Alexander and Golden Braid. I was using Holy Shrouded Cracked Tear and Opaline Hardtear in my flask.”

Of course this isn’t the first time MissMikkaa has danced her way to internet fame by completing insane challenges using an unconventional controller. She had already defeated Shadow of the Erdtree using the dance pad earlier this month, but apparently decided that fighting just one boss at a time simply wasn’t difficult enough. She also showed off her gaming talent last year by defeating two instances of Malenia, Blade of Miquella at once using the same dual controller setup employed against Promised Consort Radahn.
