Twitch streamer Luality showed an incredible achievement in one of her most recent streams. People have been defeating Elden Ring’s Malenia in a variety of wild ways, from specialized controllers to Dance Dance Revolution pads. However, Luality took things further by using motion controls to defeat the hardest encounter in the FromSoftware title. People on her chat and across social media were impressed, praising this monumental achievement.

The streamer stated on Twitter that she hit a 195 BPM heart rate while going through this battle. While it might have been incredibly stressful, the Twitch streamer overcame the challenge by besting Malenia with motion controls.

This is far from the first over-the-top challenge this Twitch streamer has undertaken, but it might be the most interesting. Luality is known for taking on Elden Ring in a variety of ways, such as using a Dance Dance Revolution pad, but in her May 4 stream, she defeated Malenia using just motion controls.

“Come on heal, please.”

The controls were clearly not perfect since the Twitch streamer tried more than once to heal as Malenia, Goddess of Rot, bore down on her, ready to end the fight. Both the player and boss were low on health.

“Oh God!”

The Twitch streamer expertly shimmied and moved her legs to keep out of range of Malenia’s strikes, healing one more time and telling herself not to panic. As she dealt the final blow, she collapsed to the ground, screaming in joy as her chat exploded in excitement. Malenia had been defeated, only using her motion controls.

Several people expressed their delight and praise for Luality's success, including Rudeism, who is perhaps best known for his unique controllers that he uses in games like Overwatch.

Content creators flocked to Twitter to show their love for Luality’s hard work. She admitted her torso was in great pain from all the shoulder wiggling, which was some people’s favorite part of the controls.

When asked why she chose whips for the fight, Luality explained that movement is hard with motion controls. Using whips is for the attack range without FP consumption. The streamer said it was also very challenging to swap her items, as was swapping potions. Having whips was one less thing to have to be stressed about.

Even the LiveStreamFails subReddit, a place often known for trolling and mockery, was fairly positive about Luality’s impressive feat. Some were worried about her heart rate, while others joked that the motion controls looked more responsive than regular controls.

There’s no telling what incredible challenges this Twitch streamer will tackle next. Still, many were incredibly impressed by Luality's use of motion controls to best the greatest foe in FromSoft’s Elden Ring.
