FromSoftware games are renowned for their difficulty, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over one thousand deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This context makes the achievements of players who embrace additional challenges even more awe-inspiring.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name into gaming history by becoming the first person to successfully complete the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This grueling feat involves finishing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. Dinossindgeil dedicated nearly two years to this endeavor, and when he finally vanquished the last boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, the overwhelming emotion led him to tears.
The God Run 3 SL1 is regarded as the pinnacle of difficulty within the FromSoftware community. It demands completing seven games in a row with no leveling and zero damage taken. The rules are strict: any hit taken means restarting the entire run, regardless of progress.
To achieve this, Dinossindgeil faced countless attempts. In the summer of 2024, a run was thwarted by a bug in Dark Souls II, where an arrow managed to clip through a wall. At that point, he had already conquered Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, but had to begin anew.
It will be fascinating to observe FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. One thing is undeniable: Dinossindgeil has secured his place in gaming history with this extraordinary feat.
