Demon’s Soulsis not an easy game by any means. The PS5 remaster of the game that started the “souls-like” genre of incredibly difficult titles by From Software came out just a few weeks ago, but alreadyDemon’s Soulshas been beaten without taking a single hitby a Twitch streamer. The question remains what fans should do when someone else has already done the impossible, and another streamer’s answer is to try and beat the game with a dance pad.
Using controllers like adance pad or aRing Fitdevice as a controller for games outside their intended purposeisn’t a new idea, as players have been adding bizarre challenges to make games likeDemon’s Soulseven harder than they already are for years. However, new games mean new opportunities.

Twitch streamer Luality has been one of the masters of the dance pad for some time, having most recentlybeaten all ofDark Souls 3with just a level 1 character and a dance pad. Now she has moved onto the next-gen title, and has already beaten all ofDemon’s Soulswith aDance Dance Revolutionpad on her Twitch channel.
Luality said that the entireDemon’s Soulsrun is viewable on her archived Twitch videos, where fans can also get a look at her adorable pet bunny. She said that she will also be uploading the run in smaller chunks to her YouTube channel. In one such clip, she takes on the Flamelurker in the depths of The Tunnel City and manages to defeat it with only a couple of hits taken.
The real challenge, she said, was setting up the dance pad to work with the PS5, as she jokes that getting it to work with the new system was harder than playing through the entirety ofDemon’s Soulswith it. As it turns out,not all PS4-era accessories are compatible with the PS5and getting some accessories to work may take more finagling than others.
In terms of other unique accomplishments relating to the PS5 remaster, YouTuber Super Louis 64 recently managed toplayDemon’s Soulsutilizing the bongo controllers fromDonkey Kong Jungle Beat. That accessory, which was originally designed to work with the Nintendo GameCube, took a great deal of reworking too, but his experience getting them to work to play and beatSekiro Shadows Die Twicehelped prepare him for the task.
