Elden Ring is the pinnacle of the Soulslike genre and the highly-anticipated expansion which is said to be on par with the already fantastic base game in size and quality content. Soulslike games require patience and skill and not everyone is on the same level to dip into this genre.

Some players are naturally gifted and one American streamer defied all odds and featured the Soulslike game on his marathon livestream finished the main game, and is already making good progress in the expansion. Kai Cenat is proof that players need to do their part and stop whining.

Kai Cenat Made Elden Ring Look like a Very Stressful Cake Walk

The Elden Ring journey of Kai Cenat was filled with trolling and clowning. The American streamer faced many forms of verbal abuse from fellow content creators, but it did not break Cenat’s spirit and motivated him to try harder until he reached the end of the line. Fortunately, FromSoftware came prepared and released the only expansion that filled the void perfectly. Cenat’s skill has grown immensely and the stream is making great progress with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Cenat may not be the best player in the Soulsborne franchise and he has accepted the fact. However, it did not stop him from being the best he could be, and despite discovering many different methods of being demolished by major bosses like Radahn in the base game, he managed and surprised a lot of his viewers with his skill and commitment.

The gaming community was left speechless by the American streamer’s success against Malenia, which happens to be the most formidable and soul-crushing boss fight of the entire game. Granted, Cenat may have taken a few attempts but the point of the matter is he managed and persevered while so many others would whine about the insane difficulty.

Shadow of the Erdtree Is Perfect to Show the Streamer’s Growth

The Soulslike genre is not for the faint of heart and it is guaranteed that most of the skilled players have perished more than once. Cenat’s skill was forged in fire and these trials and omnipotent enemies taught him everything he needed to know for the latest expansion and his sharpened skills made short work of the new enemy bosses.

Despite all the pain and suffering the video game caused him, Cenat claimed that Elden Ring is now his favorite game ever. The game taught the streamer some valuable lessons that later benefitted him for the expansion and should be considered a prime example of what patience and hard work can bring.

The game director intentionally made his games hard to prove a point and to serve as a reflection of real-life hardships that everyone must face. These games can build up a person’s character and encourage them to try to be better.

With his relative lack of experience in the genre, many fans are pondering their own skills and determination comparatively, and some even being jealous or bitter over his progress in the notoriously hard expansion.

FromSoftware designed its games to be unforgiving and for good reason. Easy games would not challenge a player to think critically and it will not let them grow if they remain in their comfort zones.
