Playing through even one of FromSoftware’s games is worth a lot, but what is it like to play through all seven of the studio’s hardcore action games in a row without leveling up or taking damage? German streamer Dinossindgeil now knows the answer to this question.

In February 2023, Dinossindgeil took on the God Run 3 SL1 challenge – completing Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring without taking damage while at minimum level.
Thus, if an enthusiast missed even one blow from an enemy (even through no fault of his own, as happened last summer in Dark Souls 2), he was forced to start the run over again, no matter how far he had managed to go before.
After nearly two years of failed attempts, Dinossindgeil finally completed the monstrous task. The moment of his triumph over the final boss of Dark Souls 3 (the last game in the race) can be seen in the video below.
After defeating the final enemy, Dinossindgeil couldn’t hold back his tears from the weight lifted off his shoulders. It’s worth noting that two years ago, after completing the standard God Run 3 challenge (without a leveling limit), the enthusiast burst out laughing.
In a discussion of the situation, Reddit users praised Dinossindgeil’s determination. “Incredible achievement,” noted PunisheRRR94. “True madman,” added kikomir.
FromSoftware fans often make their lives more difficult with impromptu challenges: the already hardcore Shadow of the Erdtree expansion to Elden Ring was conquered in the summer by a female streamer who played with one hand.
