FromSoftware games are renowned for their punishing difficulty, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over one thousand deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the accomplishments of those who undertake even more daunting challenges all the more remarkable.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has achieved a monumental feat by becoming the world's first person to complete the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This grueling endeavor required him to finish seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. The streamer dedicated nearly two years to this challenge, culminating in an emotional victory over the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, which left him in tears.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely regarded as the most difficult within the FromSoftware community. It mandates playing through seven games in a row without any character leveling and without sustaining any damage. The rules are stringent: a single hit forces the player to restart the entire run, regardless of their progress.
Dinossindgeil's journey to complete the challenge involved countless attempts. In the summer of 2024, a run was thwarted by a bug in Dark Souls II, where an arrow unexpectedly clipped through a wall. At that point, he had already conquered Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, yet he was compelled to start anew from the beginning.
It will be fascinating to observe FromSoftware's response to this incredible achievement. What is undeniable is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
