For most lambda players, the simple fact of finishing a stamped from Fromsoftware is already a small accomplishment in itself. Between the very punitive mechanics which define the trilogy Dark Soulsthe complexity ofElden Ringthe aggressiveness of the enemies of Bloodborne which puts reflexes to the test or the parade system of Ax Who requires a metronomic precision, those who appreciate that a video game resist them tend to be served.
But as always, some particularly gifted players have acquired an impressive mastery of the catalog of the Japanese studio. For them, ending these games known to be particularly demanding is only a formality; their objective is rather to achieve it by winning arbitrary constraints in order to corp the experience even more.
The God Runa first -rate challenge
The best known of them is undoubtedly The Happy Hob, an extremely talented player who went to posterity by becoming the first person to finish the merciless Dark Souls without being touched once – a XXL challenge today known as No-Hit Run. He further rejected the concept further a few years later, doing the same with the entire trilogy Dark Soulsthen once again adding Bloodborne to the list. An extremely difficult course that requires a mixture of patience, talent and rare perseverance, hence the fact that he inherited the nickname « God Run ».

Happy Hob has thus become the instigator of an unofficial competition, where the best players in the world each tried their side to imitate their video game exploits. Over time, the community has invested so much that today, the No-Hit Runs are almost part of the routine. These joysticks were therefore forced to imagine even more absurd challenges to satisfy their thirst for difficulty.
This is how the last iteration of the God Runsoberly baptized God Run 3. The objective: to end Demon Soulsthe three Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Ax et Elden Ring One after the other without undergoing the slightest scratch on all 7 games. Needless to say, this is an absolutely extraordinary challenge, knowing that you have to follow More than 10 hours of extremely demanding gameplay without the slightest error of execution or inattention.
Impossible ? Probably for you and me – but not for BushidoYu, dinosindgeil, The Happy Hob (still him) or GinoMachinowho have all managed to climb this video game late after long weeks of digital self -teller.
Always higher, always stronger
Inevitably, these exploits were all applauded with both hands by fans of the genre. But many players also started to wonder if the community had not just crossed the last human level imaginable. After all, what kind of challenge could outdo the inhuman test that the God run 3 represents before the release of a new game? Impossible to place the bar even higher, isn’t it…?
But that was without counting the legendary obstinacy of this community of madmen, which was quick to find a new even more delusional goal: welcome to the era of the era God Run 3 SL1.
You see, all the games mentioned above have a common point: they are structured around a level of levels based on levels. This allows the character to gain momentum over the adventure so that he can stand up to more and more formidable enemies. Ilting this system therefore increases the difficulty of the adventure in an exponential way.
A perspective oh so intimidating for ordinary people, but particularly attractive for Happy Hob and his successors. They therefore put themselves at the head of Reply the God Run 3… without ever exceeding the very first level (or SL1), where the player’s avatar is particularly vulnerable and deprived of most of the most powerful objects.
But this time, the community came up against a wall. Even these elite players quickly realized that this absolutely inhuman challenge would probably be out of their reach despite their immense talent; One after the other, they (almost) all abandoned this digital equivalent of the quest for the Grail.
Dinossindgeil to conquer Everest
It was necessary more to discourage Dinossindgeil, the second player to have completed the legendary God Run 3. In 2023, he began to chain attempts regularly on his Twitch channel – but success unfortunately fled him like an antelope in front of a lion hungry. Week after week, month after month, he multiplied the promising runs that sometimes ended in a heartbreaking way after a stupid error, due to the accumulation of the mental load.
No one would have liked him to give up and move on. But he decided to persevere against and against everything, sometimes at the cost of his own psychological health, in this adventure which was beginning to look more like a long way of the cross than leisure.
Fortunately, the self-inflicted ordeal of Dinossindgeil has finally ended. Almost two years and hundreds of cruel disillusions later, he finally managed to complete his Magnum opus: Sekiro, Dark Souls II, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne et Dark Souls 3 Completed successively in this order, at level 1, without being touched even once. A tour de force XXL that some Internet users immediately described as ” greater feat in the history of video games As evidenced by his moved reaction after defeating his latest boss.
Perseverance embodied
For some observers, this kind of challenge might seem completely futile, even symptomatic of an obsession at the border of psychological disorder. After all, why devote several years of his life to ensuring that pixels align on the screen in a very specific way?
However, this is a fairly reducing conception of this adventure. More than a story of video games, the epic of Dinossindgeil is above all a great example of extreme perseverance – The kind of unwavering self -denial of which few individuals are capable, whatever the discipline. Whether you like video games or not, so we cannot encourage you to Continue your own version of God Run 3whether at work, in a sports or artistic discipline, or anything else; Whatever your goals in life, you will probably come out of it!
