Streamer Completes FromSoftware's Impossible 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 players who embrace even greater 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 grueling endeavor requires completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. Dinossindgeil dedicated nearly two years to this quest, 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 is widely regarded as the most formidable challenge within the FromSoftware community. The rules are strict: players must complete seven games in a row without leveling up and without taking any damage. A single hit means starting the entire run over, no matter the progress made.

Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with numerous 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. At that point, he had already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, but the rules forced him to begin anew.

It will be fascinating to see how FromSoftware responds to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable, however, is that Dinossindgeil has cemented his legacy in the annals of gaming history.
