Streamer beats every Shadow of the Erdtree boss by dancing—and she likely did it faster than you

Talk about cardio.

Beating Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t easy, even if you completed all previous entries in the Soulslike genre, but while many of us are struggling with the latest DLC, one streamer has beat all its bosses using only a dance pad.

On July 8, Swedish streamer MissMikkaa slew the final boss of the Elden Ring‘s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Radahn, Consort of Miquella, completing her quest to defeat all the DLCs bosses with nothing but her smooth dance moves and a dance pad.

The final boss took 52 attempts and 7 hours, while the entire DLC run took her only 325 deaths (69 to gravity) across seven days, which is more than admirable. For comparison, Kai Cenat spent 99 hours and died 1,070 times during his marathon stream of Shadow of the Erdtree. Fortuntely, MissMikkaa didn’t dance continuously without breaking (imagine being able to do that kind of cardio).

MissMikkaa definitely deserves lots of credit. I can barely force myself to do an hour or so of cardio. Playing Elden Ring with anything other than a PlayStation controller also sounds like a nightmare to me. But both simultaneously? Thank you, but no.

Those who follow the Swedish-Chilean streamer know she likes absurd challenges in Soulslike games. In January last year, MissMikkaa defeated the final boss of the base Elden Ring, Malenia…twice at the same time. She played the game on two devices: One connected to a dance pad and the second to a controller. So, if FromSoftware has anything else up its sleeves, we’re sure MisMikkaa can dance through it in no time.
