:O I think the thing that impresses me the most is that, with the amount of delay between you strumming and the action being performed, you REALLY have to know the boss well, so you can time the rolls in advance. That is seriously so cool!
@@sirmonke3253 that’s not how that works it prevents re-inputs not decreases delay… the delay is created by sound the time it takes for the sound to be picked up by the mic.
To those who dare say this is fake, please watch the vidoes PROVING this is real. To add onto those videos, she plays the same note for the same movement every time. If this was faked there would be a mess up.
Just saw your video featured on Highlight Reel's youtube channel, and came to watch the original source. Using a harp to play a FromSoftware game? INSANELY DOPE! If you can work out the input lag kinks, I'm sure you could beat a whole FromSoftware game! Your music covers are beautiful as well. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! Luckily, I think I can deal with the input lag. What's more difficult is that I don't have the same mobility that I do with controller, so it takes a little while to get to used to that for each enemy.
Let us remember that someone beat dark souls three with a bunch of bananas, this is arguably less crazy than that, but Hers is another name we can put in the hall of dark souls legends of the input gods
Super impressive, I would absolutely watch a follow up that explains the control scheme! Definitely shows the relationship between musical timing and just general timing and reactions!
Dude it's crazy; I didn't know of anyone who played a souls game with a musical instrument until I started...and then I found out there are a surprising number of people who have done/are doing it
Naked and SL1 as well? That's pretty extreme for a run like this. Very well done. You're probably gonna need to get something like bloody slash, impaling thrust, double slash or sword dance for solid DPS going forward, regular R1s are nearly half the DPS of good weapon arts plus some weapon arts do as much stagger damage as a fully charged R2, making bosses fall over for a riposte. Just stick to ones that are 1 button press weapon arts because doing some of timed L2 + R2 combos is gonna too much. Good luck!
Thanks! I don't think I'm going to stay naked, I just don't have any armor I like yet. That is a good tip about the weapon arts though, and I appreciate the suggestions since I mostly kept bloodhound's step on my weapon during my first playthrough (please don't judge me). I'll have to look into assigning pitches to switch items (so I can refill fp) and for special attacks since I don't have those yet.
GodDAMN this was impressive, that was a hell of a fight! LobosJr beating Dark Souls on electric guitar was extremely cool, but it doesn't quite have the same _vibe_ as playing Elden Ring on harp. 😁
I saw a yt short with this saying u did it legitimately and I'm like oooo winning a boss fight with a harp! It probably sounds delightful! Well it does but not what I expected 😂😂
Mad respect for you. Even with the delay, and lack of armor you managed to pull out some incredible moves and timed your dodges ahead of time to make up for it.
I'd like to imagine that Margit is fighting her and randomly hearing those little notes she makes and eventually gets distracted enough to be defeated xD
It took me 12 attempts to beat him with a controller, 7 times with a mouse and key but idc how many attempts it would take, id love to play this with a fecking harp.. well done lassy👏 you got some talent Also i love how PcGamer covered this, credit where credits due.
Thanks! I have the same mindset...it doesn't matter how many attempts; I'll get them eventually. And now if you ever happen to have a spare harp around, you'll know what to do with it haha
@@AnnaEllsworthMusic Aye im sure you will, i have every confidence in you 😊 and oh miss im a soulless ginger, if i touch anything angelic like a harp ill burst into flames aha
Honestly I'm impressed, this popped up in my feed and I just clicked, now I have subbed, can't wait to check out your videos, hope your having a good day or night take care.
This is so cool! I know the plucks were really simple in their sounds but I actually very much enjoyed the notes that your instrument produced. Much love fellow Tarnished ❤️
Oh, thanks! I'm so used to hearing the full resonance and range of the harp that I thought the sounds while I play here might be underwhelming. But I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I'm also doing a different playthrough co-oping with other instrument controller players! So far, our little band has harp, drums, piano, and saxophone.
I know there's like people saying it's "pre-record". Even if so, that is a very accurate input timing and perfectly ties well with her explanation video
All this time in thinking im a badass in soulgames and then i see this? I am right now figuring out how to cheese this margrit! Respect! You are the best!
Came over hear after Inside Gaming was singing your praises about this feat. Wow and congrats. I love seeing the different controller/input runs via Dark Souls Series. Amazing.
Hi, welcome :) Yeah, is there another series with a fan base so obsessed with weird controllers? I feel like this was the natural progression after guitar hero/ddr/dk bongos/literal fruit/etc lol
Whelp that was cool. Do you have a video showing how you set up the various commands for movement? Also really enjoy how Playing the game with a musical instrument really highlights the Timing of movements sorta like choreography.
That's actually really nice to hear because when I get stuck on a boss, I watch other people play to try to get the timing down! And I don't have a video about the setup yet, but yeah, if there's interest I could go deeper into that in the future.
Yooo this is super impressive Idk how you made it so that u could control ur character using ur harp but ye This is super impressive and i really love it Great job on beating the boss
I came in here thinking it was going to sound beautiful but it sounds like trying to figure out how to play Mary had a little lamb lol this is awesome though! Great job!
More people are asking about this than I expected, so I'm planning on doing a video about it in the not-too-far future! In the meantime, I went into it more in detail here (near the middle) - kotaku.com/elden-ring-anna-ellsworth-harp-margit-fell-omen-tree-se-1849071184
Love seeing margit getting rekt it was satisfying the first time I beat him and even more when I beat him without getting hit but seeing someone beat him using a harp of all things is just to impressive. I respect it.

They should mod an actual harp as a weapon for you at this point. Then you can go BRONK!

well, u earned a sub. played better than me and with a harp no less.
Even though it's just a few sparse notes, it's kinda cool how a song is formed by the rhythm of the battle.
The song of war
She kept harping on the boss till they gave up
To those who dare say this is fake, please watch the vidoes PROVING this is real.
To add onto those videos, she plays the same note for the same movement every time. If this was faked there would be a mess up.
She still made natural mistakes during the fight as well... Which does solidify the proof further...
why would there be a mess up?
@@pinkbiohazardmercurialcoll7133 bro shut up
Just saying that her winning the fight was legitimate... Celebrate, be impressed, these kinds of wins deserve a little bit of praise...

Haha that's about how my very first fight with him a few months ago looked, too. But thank you!

Yeah, props to the people playing these games with literal food. My #1 controller requirement is that it can't attract fruit flies
Perfect timing on the dodges even with the input lag, you know Margit very well

Noted! I'll put that video on my to-do list.
@@AnnaEllsworthMusic Nice! I’ll keep a lookout but also don’t stress out over it if it is annoying!
This is genuinely amazing, never thought i would see someone play a souls game and beating a boss using an instrument, but here we are. Bravo
Dude it's crazy; I didn't know of anyone who played a souls game with a musical instrument until I started...and then I found out there are a surprising number of people who have done/are doing it
@@AnnaEllsworthMusic really? Wow. The souls community never ceases to amaze me
she plays C to go forward, F (lower octave) to move back, A to dodge, G to slash, and lower octave G to stop moving niceeee
Yeah, good ear!
rooting for you in the comments section as you fell one boss after another till you get to elden beast!!
How tf does this dude know the chords.

Me using a controller:
Still struggling fighting normal enemy
Dude, I'm not even kidding, I've died to dogs more than some bosses even when using a controller
Saw a short about you, nice to see something breathtaking like that :D
Thank you!
I love how im actually learning timings better from watching this since I can hear the note for rolling before I even see it 🤣
It's all about that rhythm!
GodDAMN this was impressive, that was a hell of a fight! LobosJr beating Dark Souls on electric guitar was extremely cool, but it doesn't quite have the same _vibe_ as playing Elden Ring on harp. 😁
(Checking out your other videos, holy shit, both O&S and Tree Sentinel on harp are impressive as hell, too!)
I saw a yt short with this saying u did it legitimately and I'm like oooo winning a boss fight with a harp! It probably sounds delightful! Well it does but not what I expected 😂😂
Yeah, I don't know if delightful is the right word. Haha I'm not really going for musicality here
I can imagine the audio cues really helping someone who is trying to learn how to beat this boss!
I'm thoroughly impressed!! I have a hard time just playing with a regular controller.
What in the world did I just witness. Using a harp to beat the boss? What? In any case, I have insane respect for the dedication
So glad I found your post on Reddit. Liked and shared, hope it reaches more people.
Ah, thank you!
Mad respect for you. Even with the delay, and lack of armor you managed to pull out some incredible moves and timed your dodges ahead of time to make up for it.
She played her own boss music
She must looking into the future with that input delay.
This was amazing, and I'm sure it's gonna blow up! Now you gotta turn what you played into a full-fledged song to commemorate your achievement :D
A new music genre!
@@AnnaEllsworthMusic You could write a whole epic album based on a playthrough! Tracks might end up sounding a bit samey though, I guess 🤔
That's some Bard level shit right there 😂
lol
LET ME SOLO HER : FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONENT, OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
She just "plin plin plon'd" margitts foolish ambitions.
gg. It's so beautiful to see your character move in response to those sounds. Also, you are very good at this.
I'd like to imagine that Margit is fighting her and randomly hearing those little notes she makes and eventually gets distracted enough to be defeated xD
Never thought I would see something like this thank you for your hard work and entertainment.
*Me trying to beat him at level 10 with no armor and the starting club*: “I might fail 100x but I just need to succeed once”
Truth. Good for you for using a club! I rely on bleed too much haha
Honestly I saw this on a short and just had to see it for myself
This is absolutely glorious
Thanks for watching 🎵
That's so awesome, definitely looking forward to seeing more of these fights!
You were featured in a pcgamer online article and I had to see this video for myself. Amazing! 🙌🏽🎉
Oh, cool! Thanks for stopping by :)
Emboldened by the flame of ambition. The flame of your harp did not extinguish.
Wow, how did I miss this! More than 40k, congrats!
Thanks :) I told you I'm going for Godrick!

I think this is what they had in mind when making the bard class in games
This is just so impressive to watch and listen to.
Nice, with the notes we can see see the pattern of your attacks it’s impressive
Immediately subscribed after this, this is insanely impressive
I just saw this 6 months late, but this video is awesome
She called that panic rolling like homie you’re a goat!
"what got you so good at this instrument?"
Me:
Haha idk, my technique becomes lowkey garbage about an hour into playing like this
I know there's like people saying it's "pre-record". Even if so, that is a very accurate input timing and perfectly ties well with her explanation video
Also, I'm way too lazy for that lol...I feel like "pre-record" would be so much more work and be incredibly boring
Well if you look closely you can see a towel used to dampen the resonance of the harp, that way the midi translator doesn't pick up on wrong notes.
All this time in thinking im a badass in soulgames and then i see this? I am right now figuring out how to cheese this margrit! Respect! You are the best!
This is amazing!! I wish I was as talented as you! I can’t even beat this guy with a keyboard and mouse!
