FromSoftware games are renowned for their challenging gameplay, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over a thousand deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the feats of players who embrace even greater challenges all the more astonishing.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name in gaming history by becoming the world's first to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This monumental task required him to finish 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, breaking down in tears.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely regarded as the most demanding within the FromSoftware community. The rules are stringent: complete seven games in a row without leveling up and without taking any damage. If a player is hit even once, they must restart the entire run, no matter their progress.
Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with trials, including a run in the summer of 2024 that ended abruptly due to a bug in Dark Souls II, where an arrow unexpectedly clipped through a wall. At that point, he had already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, but the rules forced him to start anew.
It will be fascinating to see how FromSoftware responds to this incredible achievement. What is undeniable is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
