Reddit celebrates the couple for their successful boss kill using unique conditions

The thread was filled with discussion about the game itself, as well as how the streamers approached the game. One Redditor pointed out one thing that makes this Malenia fight so hard. They tend not to use jump attacks, shields, summons, or any magic in their gameplay.

A few commenters talked about the way they approached the fight, which showed that there are truly a wide variety of ways to tackle some of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring.

Others showed their love for the couple and while it’s very hard to replicate their accomplishments, viewers get to watch that brief moment of pure joy, when a challenge is overcome. Redditors were certainly glad for this clip to find their way to them.

Some were confused, thinking the way the couple worked was weird since Blu did most of the work. Others responded that this is just how they do things, and in Sekiro, the male half of the stream did the majority of the work, by parrying and striking.

One Redditor was just glad to the two succeeded but wondered if it would strengthen or hinder their relationship as a whole.

It was an awesome achievement for sure, and the Twitch streamer couple are no strangers to playing games with split-controls either. It’s a unique way to play Elden Ring, and though it may take time, they always wind up succeeding.
