FromSoftware games are notorious for their difficulty, as evidenced by streamer Kai Cenat's over a thousand deaths while attempting to complete Elden Ring. This context makes the feats of players tackling even more stringent challenges all the more remarkable. Enter Dinossindgeil, a streamer who has etched his name into the annals of gaming history by becoming the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge.
The God Run 3 SL1 is widely regarded as the pinnacle of difficulty within the FromSoftware community. This daunting challenge involves completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. The rules are unforgiving: one hit, and the entire run must start over, no matter the progress. Dinossindgeil's journey to achieve this took nearly two years, culminating in an emotional victory over the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, which left him in tears.
The streamer's path was fraught with obstacles, including a bug in Dark Souls II that ended one of his runs in the summer of 2024. An arrow clipping through a wall forced him to restart, despite having already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I. The sheer number of attempts required to navigate this gauntlet is a testament to Dinossindgeil's perseverance and skill.
The gaming world eagerly anticipates FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable, however, is that Dinossindgeil has firmly cemented his legacy in the realm of gaming history.
