FromSoftware games are renowned for their brutal difficulty, as demonstrated by streamer Kai Cenat, who reportedly died over a thousand times attempting to complete Elden Ring. This backdrop makes the feats of players tackling even greater challenges all the more remarkable. Enter streamer Dinossindgeil, who has etched his name into gaming history by becoming the first person to conquer the God Run 3 SL1 challenge—a daunting task that involves completing seven FromSoftware games consecutively without leveling up or taking a single hit. This incredible journey spanned nearly two years, culminating in an emotional victory over the final boss, Soul of Cinder, in Dark Souls III, where Dinossindgeil couldn't contain his tears of joy and relief.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely regarded as the pinnacle of difficulty within the FromSoftware community. The rules are strict: players must complete seven games back-to-back without leveling up their character and must not sustain any damage. A single hit forces a restart from the very beginning, no matter how much progress has been made.
Dinossindgeil's path to success was fraught with numerous attempts. A notable setback occurred in the summer of 2024, when a run was abruptly halted by a glitch in Dark Souls II, where an arrow unexpectedly clipped through a wall. At that point, he had already triumphed over Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, only to be forced to begin anew.
The gaming community eagerly awaits FromSoftware's response to this monumental achievement. What is undeniable is that Dinossindgeil has not only pushed the boundaries of what is possible in these games but has also secured a legendary status in the annals of gaming history.
