We're used to the madness Elden Ring This is where the testing begins, but even I wasn't prepared for one intrepid genius to turn a three-year-old elliptical found “on the side of the road” into a working controller. What follows, as you can imagine, is an exciting passage.
YouTuber WoolyBeetle1 created a homemade Elden Ring controller using an old trainer that moves the main character forward when you pedal. Essentially, it’s either work or prepare to die. But problems quickly arose as the device only has three buttons, so WoolyBeetle1 stole them to be able to look ahead, dodge, attack and nothing else. You know, the basics.
WoolyBeetle1's attempts to kill things and try not to get stuck on random pieces of geometry make for fun viewing, especially when the elliptical decides not to play ball.
And she even decides to take on Magma Serpent Makar with an unruly setup, and, um, things don't go very smoothly, even though she once impressively came close with two summons. “I don't know if we're making this up, but I'm on the elliptical, who cares?”
Although the content creator/pro gaming athlete was eventually forced to leave, she still seemed pretty adamant that Makar could be beaten with her physique. Let's hope her calves don't give out next time.
