How do you make a hard game harder? By using a completely inappropriate controller, of course.

That’s exactly what Twitch streamer bearzly did. He used a guitar from the original Rock Band to beat Dark Souls, an action game notorious for its brutal difficulty. You can watch his bizarre method in action in the video below, originally posted on Reddit.


Bearzly moved his character with the tilt controls and the whammy bar, which was probably just a bit more restrictive than a simple analog stick. Also, he didn’t even have a button for blocking. You can see how he mapped the rest of the game’s inputs to the guitar below.

I think I'll stick with a regular controller.
