Soulsborne fans have never been the type to do things the easy way. While the majority of players all over the world are naturally struggling with a game as skill-based and taxing as Elden Ring, some streamers are reveling in the challenge, with one particular Tarnished managing to defeat a boss using nothing but a Ring Fit controller – on their first attempt, no less.
The streamer in question is SuperLouis 64, who recently shared his battle with Bloodhound Knight Darriwil on Twitter. You can check out the video for yourself below.

As you can see from the annotations, SuperLouis moves by jogging and attacks using the Ring Fit controller’s motion controls. Perhaps most impressive – and least ostensible – is the fact he also heals by squatting, which sounds… tough, to say the least.
The clip only highlights the end of the fight, although SuperLouis points out that this was his first attempt at taking on Bloodhound Knight Darriwil. Beating a FromSoft boss first try under normal circumstances is impressive enough. Doing it with a Ring Fit controller is bizarre.
If you scroll through SuperLouis’ page, you’ll see he’s also managed to take down some other bosses since, all while using the same Ring Fit strategy. Whether or not he succeeds in rolling credits with this creative approach to playing is anyone’s guess, although given the skill and determination he has exhibited so far, we’d say it’s far more likely than not.
On top of that, this isn’t even SuperLouis’ first foray into absurd video game challenges. He’s also played Demon’s Souls with a dance pad, literally ran across Hyrule in Breath of the Wild, and beaten Dark Souls using a controller made of bananas. What can’t this man do?
If you, like us, are a normal human being who is barely capable of stringing two parries together under normal conditions, there’s a good chance you might need some help with Elden Ring.
If so, we’ve got you covered – here’s our complete guide and walkthrough for Elden Ring.
