Twitch streamer beats Elden Ring with just her voice

Twitch streamer and speedrunner Larxa has become the latest content creator to conquer the notoriously difficult Elden Ring game. However, Larxa achieved this feat without touching a single button, relying entirely on the voice macro software VoiceAttack. By mapping vocal commands to specific in-game actions, Larxa completed the game without technically pressing a button, a remarkable accomplishment given Elden Ring's in-depth combat and notoriously difficult bosses, even with a controller.

Larxa's success is even more impressive considering the lag time between a command being given and the action being performed. Despite the difficulties, Larxa persevered and saw the forty-four-hour playthrough to its end. Larxa's use of VoiceAttack highlights the importance of accessibility options in modern gaming. While there is still progress to be made in this area, tools like VoiceAttack are a step in the right direction, making gaming accessible to those who may have once been barred from the experience.

VoiceAttack is a well-received voice macro that can be particularly useful for gamers with disabilities. Larxa's achievement shows how accessibility options are becoming more prevalent in video games, opening up the gaming world to a wider audience. Larxa, who has also completed other difficult games like Demon's Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, may take on another voice-controlled playthrough of Elden Ring if the rumored DLC is released. Until then, the Elden Ring community will continue to push the limits of the game with increasingly difficult playthrough conditions.
