Streamer Completes FromSoftware's Toughest Challenge After Two Years

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 those who embrace additional challenges all the more remarkable.

Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name into gaming history by becoming the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This formidable task involves completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. Dinossindgeil dedicated nearly two years to this endeavor. His triumph came when he defeated the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, a moment so emotionally charged that it brought him to tears.

The God Run 3 SL1 is widely regarded as the most challenging feat within the FromSoftware community. The rules are strict: players must complete seven games in a row without leveling up and without taking any damage. Even a single hit necessitates starting the entire run over, regardless of progress.

Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with obstacles. 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 successfully navigated through Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, but the rules forced him to start anew.

It will be fascinating to see FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. What is clear, however, is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
