A Streamer’s Encounter with an Unusual Boss in Elden Ring
Known for their challenging gameplay, FromSoftware titles have always tested the skills of gamers. The recently released game, Elden Ring, is no exception. Streamers have been struggling to fight their way through the game’s bosses and reach the end. However, for Moistcr1tikal, who has played through every Dark Souls game, the journey was relatively smooth. That is, until he faced Commander Niall, a boss that proved to be more challenging than anticipated due to an unexpected visitor.
An Unwelcome Interruption
In a livestream on March 4, Moistcr1tikal continued his playthrough of Elden Ring and encountered a new boss named Commander Niall. Despite dying only four times, Moistcr1tikal managed to bring the boss’s health points down to below 500. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow, an uninvited guest appeared—one that was not on the screen.
Moistcr1tikal immediately screamed and pointed out a wasp in his room. With his attention divided between Commander Niall and the wasp, the streamer managed to finish off the boss and quickly escaped the room as soon as the battle ended. He returned less than a minute later, searching for a way to get rid of the unwanted insect. Unfortunately, the wasp seemed to vanish, as if it had been a part of the boss fight itself.
Rise to YouTube and Twitch Fame
Moistcr1tikal, also known as penguinz0 on YouTube, has built a successful entertainment career with a wide range of content, from gameplay commentaries to reaction videos. With over 14 years of experience on YouTube, the 27-year-old content creator ventured into Twitch streaming in late 2018. Today, he regularly streams to an average of over 13,000 viewers, according to TwitchTracker.
