After two years of trying, streamer finished the impossible FromSoftware challenge

FromSoftware games are notorious for their brutal difficulty. Even prominent streamers like Kai Cenat have documented their struggles, succumbing to countless deaths in titles like Elden Ring. This makes the accomplishments of players who voluntarily embrace even greater challenges all the more remarkable.

Streamer Dinossindgeil has achieved a truly unprecedented feat: becoming the first person to complete the God Run 3 SL1 challenge. This grueling undertaking involves conquering seven consecutive FromSoftware games—without leveling up or taking a single point of damage. This monumental effort spanned nearly two years. The emotional culmination arrived with the defeat of Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, a moment that saw Dinossindgeil overcome with tears of joy and relief.

The God Run 3 SL1 is widely regarded as the most demanding challenge within the FromSoftware community. The rules are unforgiving: seven games, no leveling, and zero damage. A single hit necessitates restarting the entire run from the beginning, regardless of progress.

Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with setbacks. In the summer of 2024, a bug in Dark Souls II—an arrow clipping through a wall—ended a run that had already seen him conquer Elden Ring and Dark Souls I. The setback forced a complete restart.

FromSoftware's response to this incredible achievement will undoubtedly be eagerly awaited. However, one thing is certain: Dinossindgeil has etched his name into gaming history.
