In case you didn’t think Elden Ring was hard enough, a Twitch streamer took on the challenge of beating it with her voice alone.
Streamers have continued to find ways to make beating Elden Ring even harder.
Elden Ring is known for its incredibly punishing gameplay and challenging boss fights. But streamers have been taking the difficulty to the next level by changing the way they play. Recently, MissMikkaa beat Elden Ring using a dance pad. Now, Larxa has answered the call by beating 2022's Game of the Year with just her voice.
Twitch streamer Larxa is a speedrunner that is no stranger to taking gaming to the next level. This time, she decided to play Elden Ring using only her voice to control her character for the entire game. That's about 44 hours of gameplay.
To do this, Larxa used a program called Voice Attack. She set up custom commands, which means commands were triggered by various things she'd yell out.
