The bosses in the Underworld are more than formidable, or at least they seem to be. Since the game’s release last February, shardless people from all over the world have shown us that it is possible to beat them, quite easily even, with all kinds of unusual objects. Margit the Fallen was annihilated using a Ring Fit, various mobs were defeated using a fisher price controller (for children aged 6 to 36 months, remember), and a player came to the end of the dragon stealing Agheel while playing with a banana!
So much madness, but we are far from having seen everything…
Defeat bosses with the harp?
It is now possible! At least, that’s the feat that the YouTuber has accomplished Anna Ellsworth, among others (as you might have guessed) musician. The harpist has taken on poor Margit, who seems to be the target of all the players’ quirky experiments. It is important to specify that it is not a question of the harp bow, which is possible to obtain in game, but indeed a real harp.
The scene, while remarkable, is also very comical. The music of the confrontation is entirely camouflaged by the noise of the harp, which lets out weak notes. This is not a concerto, but a total achievement!
How is it possible ?
This is the question that all the viewers of the video asked themselves. On Reddit, the harpist’s performance went around the world and completely ignited the network.
As far as technique is concerned, the players are categorical: just like for the banana, Anna Ellsworth linked each string of the harp to a very specific command : “My harp is hooked up to the computer and then goes through two programs, one that detects footsteps and turns them into notes and one that hears the notes and binds them to keys”.
As for her feelings, the harpist said that Margit had given him a hard time (or strings) : “He has an incredible sense of balance and my character doesn’t. Seriously, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen off the cliff”.
The musician can therefore be proud of herself, because she has accomplished an elegant feat. She revealed that she wanted, in the future, tackle other bosses, much more difficult. A few days before attacking Margit, Anna had already struck down the Sentinel of the tree, still using her harp. Who knows, maybe in a few weeks, she will have overcome Malenia?
