Streamer Completes FromSoftware's Impossible Challenge After Two Years

FromSoftware games are renowned for their high difficulty, a fact well-illustrated by streamer Kai Cenat's over 1,000 deaths in his quest to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the accomplishments of those who undertake even greater challenges all the more awe-inspiring. Enter Dinossindgeil, a streamer who has etched his name in gaming history by becoming the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge—a formidable feat requiring the completion of seven FromSoftware titles in succession without leveling up or sustaining any damage.

Dinossindgeil's journey to this monumental achievement spanned nearly two years. The culmination of his efforts came when he vanquished the final boss, Soul of Cinder, in Dark Souls III. Overwhelmed by the moment, he couldn't contain his emotions and burst into tears, a testament to the intensity and dedication required for such a challenge. The God Run 3 SL1 is hailed as the most grueling challenge within the FromSoftware community, demanding that players complete seven games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. The rules are unforgiving: any damage sustained means starting the entire run anew, regardless of progress.

To achieve this, Dinossindgeil faced an immense number of attempts. A particularly heart-wrenching setback occurred in the summer of 2024, when a bug in Dark Souls II—an arrow clipping through a wall—forced him to restart, despite having already conquered Elden Ring and Dark Souls I. Such is the nature of this challenge: relentless and demanding.

The gaming world eagerly anticipates FromSoftware's response to this remarkable achievement. What is undeniable, however, is that Dinossindgeil has not only overcome one of the most daunting challenges in gaming but has also secured a legendary status in the annals of gaming history.
