Streamer Luality didn't need anything but her feet to put Elden Ring's Malenia, Goddess of Rot, in her place.
In a YouTube clip of her run, Luality shows how she's able to fell the boss using only her feet with a simple soft dance pad and metal bar supports. No metal pad, or even a tournament-grade controller. Just an everyday, run-of-the-mill Konami dance pad that you can find pretty much anywhere online.
It's a sight to behold for sure, as many players struggle through this encounter using their hands, a traditional controller, and every trick available to them, never mind having to use their bodies and feet to physically "dance" their way through. You'd certainly need to be light on your feet if you want to accomplish the same, uh, feat. Check out the full fight below.

As some viewers have pointed out, the Rivers of Blood Katana goes a long way toward making the encounter a much simpler one, as it scales with Strength, Arcane, and Dexterity. It can also inflict both pierce and slash attacks when used, and more importantly, its special attacks deal heavy damage and stagger from frankly absurd range, and that's before the added bleed damage comes into play.
Still, there's no discounting the amount of skill that went into bringing Malenia down here. If you're having difficulty doing so, maybe it's time you switched to a Dance Dance Revolution dance pad. Or you could try this simple counter to Malenia's Waterfowl Dance, which is quite easy to pull off and stops Malenia from ever completing the move, keeping you free and clear (and alive).
Best of luck to you, ye dancing Tarnished.
