FromSoftware games are notorious for their steep difficulty, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over 1,000 deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the achievements of players who embrace additional challenges even more remarkable.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first person to successfully complete the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This formidable task involves completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. Dinossindgeil's journey spanned nearly two years, 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 hailed as the most challenging endeavor within the FromSoftware community. The rules are stringent: complete seven games in a row without any level-ups and without taking any damage. If a player is hit even once, they must restart the entire challenge from the beginning, regardless of their progress.
Dinossindgeil's path to success was fraught with numerous attempts. A particularly frustrating setback occurred in the summer of 2024 when a bug in Dark Souls II caused an arrow to clip through a wall, ending his run. At that point, he had already conquered Elden Ring and Dark Souls I but was forced to start anew.
It will be fascinating to observe FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable is that Dinossindgeil has etched his name into the annals of gaming history with this extraordinary feat.
