Elden Ring is the pinnacle of the Soulslike genre and the greatest triumph of FromSoftware and game director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The gaming community took on the challenge of playing the latest Soulsborne game and only a few brave souls finished the base game and advanced to the expansion.
The Soulslike genre is not for the faint of heart and not everyone can keep up with the difficulty, however, some content creators are a step above the rest with their great skill and talent. Not everyone can play the expansion on separate platforms with different controllers simultaneously.
One Content Creator Made the Elden Ring Expansion Look like an Easy Game
FromSoftware is a respected game development company that made a name for itself and that justifies the quality of its projects. Not everyone is cut out to play the latest Soulslike game, however, some players are naturally gifted and could beat certain bosses with ease like throwing stones at Messmer in the Elden Ring expansion.
Content creators like to share their talents and achievements live on stream for the audience to react and see in real time. Miss Mikkaa did the unthinkable by playing the expansion on the PlayStation 5 with a DualSense at hand and on PC with a dance pad and nobody would have believed it if it wasn’t streamed.

Some players are naturally gifted and some are trained and let experience be their teacher. Kai Cenat earned the respect of the gaming community after reaching Malenia and beating the base game despite being killed countless times. The content creator started playing a few months ago in preparation for the expansion and significantly improved since then.
The Twitch streamer and Kai Cenat are both prime examples of where patience and skill can take a dedicated player. Many would argue that if Kai Cenat could beat the expansion, the Soulslike genre is not all that difficult if the player exerts effort for self-improvement, complains less, and redirects that frustration towards something productive.
Shadow of the Erdtree Is Not Hard for One Content Creator Despite the Difficult Conditions of Playing It
Director Hidetaka Miyazaki firmly believes that things will get worse before they get better and he wants to teach the gaming community a valuable lesson of never giving up. Despite how hard the enemy is hitting and how many times a player respawns by the bonfire, always keep going.
Radahn is one of the hardest bosses in the base game and obliterated Kai Cenat in funny ways but Mikkaa managed to defeat him twice at the same time. Eventually, Cenat took longer than most but the content creator overcame that obstacle and reigned victorious.
These two different streamers are no different from the average player and are fair representations of those born with gifts and those who were born to earn these gifts. Their achievements should be applauded and used for inspiration.
The gaming community tends to whine about the difficult nature of the Soulslike genre but can’t help but find something challenging. FromSoftware has cracked the code for game development.
