FromSoftware games are notoriously challenging, a fact hilariously underscored by Kai Cenat's thousand-plus deaths in Elden Ring. This makes the accomplishments of players who embrace additional hardships all the more remarkable. Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name in gaming history as the first person to conquer God Run 3 SL1—a grueling feat demanding completion of seven consecutive FromSoftware games without leveling up or sustaining a single hit. This monumental undertaking spanned nearly two years. The emotional release upon defeating the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, was palpable, captured in a tearful moment of triumph.
God Run 3 SL1 is widely considered the most demanding challenge within the FromSoftware community. The rules are brutally simple: seven games, no leveling, zero damage. A single hit necessitates restarting the entire run from the beginning, regardless of progress.
Dinossindgeil's journey was fraught with setbacks. A particularly cruel blow came in summer 2024 when a bug in Dark Souls II—an arrow clipping through a wall—ended a run that had already conquered Elden Ring and Dark Souls I. The restart, from absolute scratch, speaks volumes about his dedication.
FromSoftware's reaction to this incredible achievement will undoubtedly be interesting. Regardless, Dinossindgeil's place in gaming history is undeniably secure.
