FromSoftware games are renowned for their punishing difficulty, with streamer Kai Cenat dying over a thousand times just to complete Elden Ring. This makes the feats of those who embrace additional challenges even more awe-inspiring.
Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name into gaming history as the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge—a formidable task requiring the completion of seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. This endeavor took nearly two years of relentless effort. Upon defeating the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, Dinossindgeil was overcome with emotion, shedding tears of triumph.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely regarded as the most grueling within the FromSoftware community. It demands the flawless completion of seven games in a row, with no level-ups and zero damage taken. According to the strict rules, any hit forces the player to restart the entire run, no matter their 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 inexplicably passed through a wall. By then, he had already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, yet had to begin anew.
It will be fascinating to see how FromSoftware responds to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
