EdyBot gave us an exclusive interview, sharing her impressive journey of beating the game using a dummy as a controller.
Elden Ring is one of the hardest games of our generation, but that hasn't stopped it from being a community favorite. With over 28 million copies sold, the game is still very much alive. Streamers from all over the world are still broadcasting it, but with the last DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, being almost a year old, they must get creative to keep their viewers engaged.
This is the case for Eden "EdyBot" Neville, a Souls-like streamer who has dedicated a big part of her career to Dark Souls challenges, cosplays, and now beating Malenia from Elden Ring with a dummy — a boss that many choose to skip due to how hard it is to dodge her attack patterns.
EdyBot gave us an exclusive interview, where we had the chance to learn more about this amazing run:
- How she turned this idea into reality and the technology behind it.
- The other Souls content she’s created.
- Her streaming journey.
- Other viral moments in her career.
- The cosplays she’s made in the past.
The buzz started when she shared a clip of herself beating Malenia on her X account. Suddenly, thousands of users noticed how impressive it is to defeat any Elden Ring boss with a dummy controller, which gave the streamer more visibility.
