Elden Ring saxophone speedrunner thanks Monster Hunter Wilds devs for "creating doot-based gameplay" as he uses his jazzy controller to power the action RPG's giant sax weapon

One of Elden Ring's greatest heroes, Dr. Doot, is back, but this time he's taking his fabled jazzy controller to pastures new as he dives into Monster Hunter Wilds, using the in-game saxophone weapon controlled with his own real saxophone.

Dr. Doot has provided the internet with some of the most entertaining Elden Ring content around, including a hitless run of the game using only an electric saxophone and a boss speedrun that even saw Malenia fall to the power of jazz in less than a minute. As for how it works, a pitch bend knob on the back of the instrument doubles as his left analog stick, while the notes he plays are mapped to a regular controller's buttons, meaning he has to doot and toot in a variety of ways to pull off even the most basic inputs.
