FromSoftware games are renowned for their punishing difficulty, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over 1,000 deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the feats of players who embrace even greater challenges all the more remarkable.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name into gaming lore by becoming the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This daunting task involves completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. Dinossindgeil dedicated nearly two years to this endeavor, and upon defeating the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, he was overcome with emotion, shedding tears of triumph.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely regarded as the most formidable within the FromSoftware community. It demands that players complete seven games in a row without any level-ups and without sustaining any damage. The rules are strict: a single hit means starting the entire run over, no matter the progress made.
Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with countless attempts. In the summer of 2024, a run was thwarted by a bug in Dark Souls II, where an arrow inexplicably passed through a wall. At that point, he had already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, yet he had no choice but to begin anew.
It will be fascinating to observe FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable, however, is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
