Elden Ring's latest expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, has gained a reputation for its punishing difficulty, proving difficult even for seasoned players. With its Steam rating hovering around "mixed" and prominent figures like Asmongold throwing in the towel, it's clear that this DLC requires more than just skill - it requires innovation.

Shadow of the Erdtree: Mind-Controlled Mastery

Just as players have tackled Elden Ring's base game with dance pads, Morse code, and yes, even a goldfish, Twitch streamer Perrikaryal has gone her own way. Her weapon of choice? A mind-control interface powered by an electroencephalogram (EEG) device that translates her brainwaves into in-game actions. This groundbreaking method allows her to literally perform maneuvers with the power of her mind.

Perrikaryal's EEG setup reads her neural signals and translates specific thoughts into commands within Elden Ring. Whether it's visualizing a cricket to bounce, imagining a push to roll, or channeling anger to heal, her mental acuity becomes the key to overcoming challenges that would frustrate conventional players.

Recently, Perrikaryal made gaming history by defeating Shadow of the Erdtree's Divine Beast Dancing Lion, a feat that many believed to be insurmountable. Armed with the Bloody Slash Ash of War and aided by a summoned ally, she masterminded a flawless victory through her mind-controlled interface.

Not one to rest on her laurels, Perrikaryal has continued to push the boundaries, even progressing to defeat the second major boss of Elden Ring's daunting DLC. Despite the limitations of her EEG device, she continues to refine her technique, driven by a vision of making gaming more accessible through innovative technology.
