Dark Souls 3 Beaten With Bananas, Because Of Course

From Software game Dark Souls 3 has been beaten with a bunch of bananas by a Twitch streamer with a penchant for unconventional controllers. The Dark Souls series is already known for it’s brutal difficulty and seemingly endless deaths, which makes the franchise particularly popular among competitive streamers and speedrunners looking to set records.

It is a fairly well known fact that some foods have the ability to conduct a small amount of electricity, like potatoes. Streamer Super Louis 64 has used a similar theory to connect several bananas into a makeshift controller, using a banana for each button. In his stream his table of bananas can be seen laid out in front of him, and apparently unlabeled too. This leads to a series of uproarious deaths in the game as he invariably presses the wrong banana. However, that didn’t stop him Super Louis 64 from achieving his goal.

NoobFeed reported the shenanigans of Super Louis 64, saying that although he was playing with an array of tropical fruit, he still did not die all that often during his unique Dark Souls 3 run. NoobFeed attributes this to his numerous run-throughs of the game, saying that he has memorized the attack patterns of all the major bosses to be found in the game, which would certainly help him recognize enemies telegraphing their next move and would have given him some reliable muscle memory in fighting, if he hadn’t ditched his usual controller for a table of bananas.

This is not the first time Super Louis 64 has done something like this – in fact, he is known for playing games with strange ways of controlling them. He has recently rigged a Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure to be able to control Dark Souls 3, for instance. Although he enjoys doing this sort of thing just for the sake of it, this most recent banana beating of the game was a special run-through for charity. He raised $750 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and he has stated on his Twitter account that he plans on doing a lot more for charity in the future.

Super Louis 64 is not the first person to beat a game with such an unconventional controller, and due to the popularity of his and many other streamers’ skillful feats of gaming he probably won’t be the last. Streaming games for charity has become a resourceful and reliable means of raising money, and the fact that this gamer wanted to beat Dark Souls 3 with some bananas for the good of a charity organization definitely grants him some additional bragging rights.
