Spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disease which affects your nervous system and muscle control, forced 20-year-old gamer Szymon, or DeadlyPG on Twitch, to get creative with his setup. He's now gotten comfortable with voice commands using a program called VoiceAttack, and after being inspired by streamer Kai Cenat's legendary Elden Ring marathon, he's used it to overcome one of the hardest bosses that developer FromSoftware has ever cooked up: Malenia, the Blade of Miquella. And it only took 700 tries.
"The reason I decided to try and complete the game and get to Malenia and beat her was watching Kai Cenat when he did his marathon recently," Szymon says in an interview with GamesRadar+. "Seeing that he's not a very good gamer, no offense, and he did it, that really motivated me and made me want to do it. I guess I just told myself that I can do it."
