The Twitch-streamers Papaplatte and HandOfBlood are currently facing a daily Elden Ring challenge in hardcore mode, where they are trying to master the game together. Now HandOfBlood has announced a bet to further increase the tension of the challenge.
How did the crossover of the two streamers happen? When HandOfBlood published a YouTube video on his main channel, which was a parody of the popular show “Wife Swap”, no one expected Papaplatte to also play a role in it.
Shortly after, the two decided to take on a new challenge: mastering Elden Ring in a modded hardcore coop version.
Here you can find out more about HandOfBlood:
What does the challenge entail? The Elden Ring Challenge started on Monday, February 19, 2024, at 4:00 PM and is scheduled for seven days, with an exception for the Saturday when the StreamAwards take place.
On the very first day, the two were confronted with the fearsome boss “Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy,” with HandOfBlood dying significantly faster than Papaplatte. This unexpected twist led HandOfBlood to give Papaplatte instructions on how to defeat the boss while he watched.
The fact that Papaplatte took the lead in some key moments of the game surprised not only the community but also HandOfBlood himself.
In his most recent stream, he made a remarkable statement: the streamer admitted that Papaplatte managed to defeat two bosses on his own while he himself had already perished. He said: “Kevin carried.”
“For every boss that Kevin defeats alone, I will unban 1000 people”
What has HandOfBlood announced? In response, HandOfBlood announced a bet: for every boss Papaplatte defeats alone while he himself is already finished, he will unban 1000 users on X/Twitter.
He mentioned a tool he received a few years ago to block users who follow certain people.
This bet is intended not only to increase the tension of the challenge but also to help clarify the ongoing debate about who truly has the upper hand in the game.
The community is eagerly following how many users HandOfBlood will have to unban in the coming days, and whether Papaplatte will continue to deliver surprising performances that will fuel discussions about the balance of power between the two YouTubers.
How is his mental health being endangered by this? HandOfBlood’s announcement to unban 1,000 users on Twitter for every boss Papaplatte defeats alone in Elden Ring poses a potential threat to his mental health.
The platform X/Twitter is known for its high density of trolls and toxic comments. Even now, countless individuals have publicly complained that they have been blocked by HandOfBlood and even mockingly referred to him as “HandOfBlock.”
These comments not only highlight the significance of the bet but also the impatience of many users waiting to be unbanned.
HandOfBlood is now reflecting on how he feels after suddenly announcing in mid-January that he would be scaling back his video production on YouTube to engage as a streamer on Twitch instead.
