Hands-free: streamer girl defeats difficult bosses in Elden Ring with the power of thought and an EEG machine
Streamers often play FromSoftware games in the most unexpected and unusual ways: instead of keyboards and gamepads, they have already used drums, bananas, dance mats, treadmills, guitars, steering wheels and other objects unsuitable for controlling games.
However, what the streamer Perrikaryal demonstrated impresses even the most sophisticated gamers.
Here's What We Know
Perrikaryal could not avoid the notorious Shadow of the Erdtree add-on for Elden Ring, which is characterised by increased difficulty even when using conventional input devices. But she defeated two bosses without even using her hands!
The girl modernised an electroencephalography (EEG) device by connecting a gyroscope to it. She taught her brain to create waves that are detected by a headset attached to her head and converted into actions in the game that would normally require pressing buttons.
In fact, Perrikaryal used her mind to beat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion first, and the video shows that the process requires considerable mental effort on her part.

The girl then faced off against Queen Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, and that fight was even tougher.

The streamer admitted that even one wrong thought can throw off the momentum and be the cause of defeat in a boss fight.
Some users believe that Perrikaryal deceives viewers by using the EEG machine and exaggerates its capabilities. But until this is proven - defeating bosses in one of the most difficult games with the power of thought looks impressive.
