Super Louis 64 has made it his mission to defeat some of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring in the most unconventional way possible, now progressing through the game with a controller made entirely of bananas.

The Twitch Partner has already beaten several Elden Ring bosses with the Nintendo Switch’s Ring Fit Adventure controller but now has adopted a potentially more difficult challenge. Super Louis’ banana rig consists of seven different bananas hooked up to his PC, each controlling a single input, such as movement, an attack, the menu, and more. With a green screen overlay on his Twitch channel, users can see exactly how the streamer navigates with this unusual setup.

Super Louis has actually found quite a bit of success with his banana controller so far. The Soulsborne expert most notably defeated Godrick with ease only using bananas, something a majority of players struggle to do even with the normal controls they’re accustomed to.

Strangely enough, this isn’t the first time that Super Louis has played a FromSoftwares game with bananas. The streamer completed Dark Souls 3 in 2017 with nearly the exact same setup. Since then, Louis has taken to beating this notoriously difficult game series with the most ludicrous controller setups possible, including Donkey Kong bongos, a dance pad, and a Guitar Hero controller.

Elden Ring has captured the attention of countless streamers, viewers, and players. The title has battled for the most-played game on Steam and topped Twitch metrics nearly since release. Players have accomplished unprecedented feats, speedrunning the game in record time, pouring hundreds of hours into the open-world environment, and now beating bosses with bananas.
