We’ve seen Elden Ring streamers and speedrunners perform some extraordinary feats on their mission to beat From Software’s challenging open-world RPG. Everything from using a dance pad to using actual brain signals, players in the community have found creative ways to take on the game. This latest feat comes from a streamer who is playing the game upside down, backwards and with a steering wheel.
Elden Ring player Zestypineapples is tackling the game with a steering wheel. That wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary (at least in terms of weird ways to play Elden Ring), but the player takes it up a notch by playing backwards while upside down. They’ve restricted themselves from using summons and recently just managed to defeat Placidusax and a large number of bosses in the game.

Zestypineapples’s challenge is proving to be quite formidable but beating the entire game using this strange method is not impossible. If he does manage to accomplish this, he’ll join a list of streamers who used rather unconventional methods to beat the game since playing with a standard controller just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Elden Ring might not be From Software’s most challenging game (the community largely agrees that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the pinnacle of the developer’s difficulty) but it does come with a fair bit of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Malenia is often seen as the developer’s hardest boss to date and is a major turning point for most Elden Ring players using weird and unique restrictions and tools to play.
While the upside down steering wheel challenge still has a long way to go before reaching the late game’s more difficult encounters and bosses, it’s pretty incredible to see this unfold. You can watch the player beat Placidusax below:
