Twitch streamer finally beats Elden Ring boss after 3,000 attempts
Elden Ring’s bosses are some of the toughest and most grueling you’re ever likely to face, as proved by one Twitch streamer who finally managed to overcome Malenia after nearly 3,000 tries.
FromSoftware’s games are known for their difficulty, with the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne throwing up some brutal fights for players to overcome. Their latest andmost successful game,Elden Ring, is no exception, putting Soulsborne fans through some truly sadistic encounters.
These boss fights require you to be on your A-game, but above all else, you’ll need the patience to take a few beatings, learn the foe’s moves, and come up with the best strategy for victory.
That’s exactly what popular Twitch streamer Dan Gheesling did, beating the mighty Malenia in his 2,999th attempt. Of all of Elden Ring’s bosses,Maleniais widely considered to be one of the most challenging, thanks to her powerful strikes that replenish her health bar while laying waste to yours.
Former Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling had been trying to conquer the optional challenge while keeping a tally onscreen of how many times he had been defeated. Just one shy of 3,000 failures later, he finally got the win he’d been waiting for – captured in the clip below.
