Less than 40 hours later, Bloodborne master completes world's first, no leveling dance pad run of the 10-year-old Soulslike after proving herself with Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring: "I knew this would be a grueling experience"
Gloomshadows is herebꦦy known as the Dancing Queen

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bloodborne's streets of sludge are grim enough without the added strain of a cardio routine, but Twitch streamer decided to push her pulse to the limit anyway with what seems to be the world's first, no leveling dance pad run of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware's 10-year-old nightmare.
The ultimately successful, ridiculously impressive run took Gloomshadows just under 40 hours to complete – not including the 10 hours of ꦓoff-stream practice she devoted to defeating Bloodborne's cheetah-fast father figure Gehrman. Like sprinting 💛in a dream, Gloomshadows' run sometimes felt too real, bleeding into Gloomshadows' real-life.
"I had previಞously completed two other no leveling runs [in Dar𒆙k Souls 3 and Elden Ring] on dance pad," Gloomshadows tells GamesRadar+ in an email, "so I knew this would be a grueling experience, but I didn't realize just how hard it would be."
"Bloodborne's bosses are quick and aggressive, so I was constantly moving and dodging in real ꦕlife, leaving me out of breath," she continues. "I felt like I'd actually gone through the fights by the time each [a boss] was defeated in-game."

She shows off the run's highlights in a new YouTube video, but I was particularly amused by her lethargic encounter with the One Reborn, a writhing glob of skeletons and crude oil, which some players (myself included) consider to be one of Bloodborne's cheesiest fights. As long as you take the time to defeat the hollow-eyed Chime Maiꩵdens blasting fireballs from tꦯhe rafters around the One Reborn's boss arena, it's a straightforward fight: hit, and don't get hit.
With Gloomshadows'🐻 dance pad – which is connected to her PC and Titan universal controller device in order to link to her PlayStation – the One Reborn looks like an even bigger, gooey baby. It slobbers out corrosive phlegm while Gloomshadows stands mostly still, waiting for it to be over.
The challenge of playing with a dance pad like this as opposed to a handheld controller, Gloomshadows tells us, "comes from the limitation of only being able to press a button or two at a time, having to balance your whole body while moving and having virt꧑ually no camera outside of l♎ock-on."

But she hasn't had enough of it. Gloomshadows is currently working on an Elden Ring "double play," where she interacts with two save files – one with a dance🍬 pad, one with a standard controller – at the same time. When it's over, she'll immediately launch into performing the same feat with Dark Souls 3.
"This is a run I've 🔥[...] spent 1,000 dance pad hours getting ready for," sꦚhe tells us.
