Last month, Twitch star concluded one of the most legendary streams ever, playing the DLC for almost 100 hours. The stream broke records and produced several enjoyable moments that kept the whole community glued to it.

The stream also featured small cameos from big-name celebrities, most notable being basketball star Anthony Davis and musician Travis Scott. Kai Cenat previously streamed the base version of the game for more than 100 hours, which was equally big in terms of viewership.

Kai Cenat is not the only big-name personality who attempted to clear Elden Ring on stream. While players struggled even to complete the game, streamer Perrikaryal managed to do the unthinkable and beat the game only using her mind control device.
