Streamer Gets Trapped for 50 Hours at Elden Ring DLC Boss, Seeks Help from Psychiatrist

Game news This streamer remains stuck for 50 hours in front of the end boss of the Elden Ring DLC: he calls on a psychiatrist to help him

A gag that creates a buzz

Elden Ring already didn't have the reputation of being an easy game, but its expansion Shadow of the Erdtree is even less so. In fact, it's apparently the most difficult content FromSoftware has ever offered. Enough to tear your hair out for many, including American streamer Kai Cenat, who still spent fifty hours on the last boss of the additional content. Just that.

And again, it's less than the last boss of the base game, on which he is stuck… more than sixty hours. To recontextualize, Elden Ring was his first game from FromSoftware, started two months ago and the player therefore started from “zero”. In front of this wall which he must certainly have thought impassable, He brought in a psychotherapist during the live broadcast to advise him on the mindset to adopt.

Obviously, it's a joke and a set-up to amuse the audience… which worked rather well, since the clip generated almost thirteen million views on X in a few days. “Kai is a marketing genius, this is super funny, well done!”we can read in the comments while another Internet user highlights a seemingly important fact: “He also shows his community (which is clearly not small) that there is no taboo in going to therapy; even if for something as trivial as an Elden Ring boss.” A particularly appreciated buzz, therefore.

A justified difficulty?

This same streamer also spoke on the difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree, which he considers justified:

You guys love to say “this is too hard”… Go ahead and fight. What are you talking about, seriously? Let's be clear: this is the first major piece of content released for Elden Ring since it came out two years ago. So why the f*** would they make a DLC that you could finish in a day or two? That would be insane.

Shared on X, this sequence also received considerable support with no less than 75,000 likes. “This guy started playing FromSoftware games about 2 months ago and he already understands their games better than some fans of the studio today”, declares the Internet user at the origin of the post. Do you agree with him?
