Only half-impressed. I mean, none of these guys was eating pizza and drinking coke when they achieved their runs.
omg, you're right. They must be cheating! 😅
They prolly spliced it :/
Right?! No way these fake gamers managed these feats! /s
Those runs were as fake as his cheese pizza & shysta cola!
Spider-man didn't get to them in time
This entire video is just a continuous “this isn’t even my final form”
Next challenge: blindfolded
but wait.....there's more!!
@@JoshuaJacobs83 someone has already beaten it with a guitar but blindfolded I doubt will ever be done. That, I think would be impossible.
@@nicholasokeefe3632 Is the guitar challenge no hit as well? What's the link?
@@nicholasokeefe3632 I mean if people can beat super Mario blindfolded this should be easy enough. ;-; edit:(sarcasm)
The amount of pressure on that last boss must have been unimaginable.
I've played like 7 hours Dark Souls throughout the entire series and it was my heart rate was spiking
The heart rate when you only need one hit but have no heals left is already stroke inducing qnd makes you suddenly go risk averse. I blazed through Bloodbourne, got all the stuff, the secret end etc and its a miracle i didn't have a heart attack/stroke. Pressure made me die too often. In fact the very last boss id died to so many times but then left gane for a fortnight...then did it first time (with a ludicrously clise to death moment)...this guy is a legend
SoC? yeah SoC is hard, but was the last boss he did Soul of Cinder or Gael? It's still impressive he got through the entire thing, and I'm in awe, but I'm still confused if Soul of Cinder was the last one, since the Ringed City and Ashes of Ariandel exist
@@QuinoLisingDoesn't NG+ start when you kill Soul of Cinder so it has to be the final boss
@@QuinoLisingu can access Ringed city after beatint sister friede
Now one thing I can't wait for is for him to include Elden Ring in his insane no-hit run.
Exactly what I was thinking
It's gonna be insane
Elden Ring alone will be an insane feat. Adding it to the other games is just ridiculous
I just don’t think it’s possible, in my opinion elden ring is arguably the hardest souls game when it comes to punishment.
@@itzdavid7714 I think it's possible, looking at the feats performed by ONGbal, but definitely very difficult. Elden Ring is by far the most difficult FromSoft game to date
Happy Hob's lesser known pursuit was his music career, which ended in failure because he had no hits.
You're my hero
When he started crying, I thought at first he and the boss had exchanged hits simultaneously on the last frame, thus breaking his run. I saw that happen once to TGH on a Zelda Link's Awakening run... world record fail on literally the last frame possible.
This comment should have way more likes.
Wow, just wow 😂
Christ🤣🤣🤣🤣
My takeaway from this video: we need to prevent the release of Elden Ring at all costs or these people are going to hurt themselves soulsbornekiroringing competitively.
*please* I'm begging you, just call it Soulsborne Ring: Shadows Die Twice
@@juniperrodley9843 Call it the Masochism Tango.
I'd skin a kitten alive to play elden ring. No one's life can compare
@@marcobering3945 That's valid
I WILL NOT GO HOLLOW FROM WAITING ANY LONGER
The sound abruptly cuts out at 25:32 and doesn't come back until 27:25.
It didn't used to, I saw this vid back in the day. My only guess is that KZhead copy-flagged the final boss music and forced Karl to mute that chunk of the video
Dino usually plays other music At certain parts a lot of which is copyrighted
And that's a big shame, this part of the video used to play the menu music from Divinity 2 Original Sin, it was epic...
Rip the most impactful part of the video. Thanks, youtube. Much appreciated.
At least it does come back eventually, when the BGM ends. That song triggers KZhead's copyright system. I know because I have streamed the game on here myself.
25:03 Arguably even more so. Bosses are designed to be completly dodgeable, but for normal enemies you are expected to tank a few hits.
Im not going to "tank" anything, using a tank in Dark Souls is cheating IMO.
@@stevenmack9948 your entitled to your opinion and all, but do you know what cheating is? cheating requires you to break a rule. there are no rules in dark souls
@@kionicxnm I think he was making a joke about using a literal tank, the armored war vehicle
@@LilacMonarch The point still stands. No where in the rules of dark souls, nowhere in the terms and conditions, does it say I cannot defeat the lord of cinder with a WW2 Panzer. I rest my case.
@@5stargrim no, but mods like that are not allowed in speedrun rules so you wouldn't be able to get a panzer
He beat 5 of the hardest games, without being touched, equipped with a stick and flip flops.
I wonder what the bosses are feeling Boss 1: "Did he beat you without getting hit?" Boss 2: "Yep, in his flip flop, and half-naked too" Boss 1: "Damn that was tough, have a seat here, let's talk about it"
No wonder Gwyn was so terrified of hollows..
@@firstnamesurname2482 Bosse 3 emerging from the ruins of the castle: "Hey guys, you wouldn't believe what.....oh. You too?"
But he was clearly missing health. Can someone explain that to me? I've never played much of these games.
@@GhostLink92 you are allowed to purposely take fall damage and poison yourself to lower your health. that doesn't count as getting "hit". the reason is to deal extra damage at low health as a result of the red tearstone ring
Not only did Hob complete The God Run on the final day, but it was the very last attempt possible and a death would mean no more chances to beat it. After dying to one of the first enemies in Dark Souls (which iirc was the final game of the previous attempt) he restarted the run for a final attempt. Getting hit would now mean losing the bet to beat the run before Sekiro’s release, so Hob declared it the Destiny Run 😄
Wow that is amazing and he is so epic! What a legend!
Even more monumental, now that it has sealed it's own place in history
That day was something else, waiting for Sekiro to release watching Hob and Otz get their insane runs, what a moment in gaming history that was.
Didn't sekiro release 2019? I'm confused
@@vedaryan334 yes, did I say something that doesn't add up? Hob completed the god run in 2019 just before the launch of sekiro.
These runs are borderline insanity. Obsession with perfection.
OCD taken to its limits
they're autistic
Definitely a stupid waste of time. It was foolish especially in these games where the mechanics are not precise.
Or a gambling addiction🎉 (wow the autocomplete suggested the confetti😅)
@@normalguycap hahahahahaha. Good one.
16:29 hey can we give a shout out to dobby who literally beat all 6 in a fucking row without getting anywhere close to the attention or love it seems? by all means anyone undertaking these as well as the previous dominance of the prior runner is legendary, but let’s give the love dobby deserves. they must’ve dedicated ridiculous amounts of time, heart, and soul. go off king 👑
Yeah he gave a shout out to dobby in the timestamp you posted
BushidoYu beat all 7.
Ok, that "suffering from exhaustion, this happened..." GOT me. I was sitting there wincing with every swing of Cinder's sword, only to find they never landed. For that whole fight, I was tense and engaged. That fakeout made me feel just the tiniest bit of pressure the players must feel.
That was so awesome the way he delivered that!!! Had me on the edge of my seat!
Same, my heart was pounding the entire time, like it was me playing or something :P Then the reaction, the hug... I may have welled up a little.
My heart was racing so fast. I would jump every time when Cinder would swing his sword, and that was just me fighting him normally. I couldnt imagine how he was feeling mentally and physically, honestly seeing him break down and cry after grinding for so long made me feel so happy for him.
saaaaame, I was so anxious
Same! I honestly thought he was gonna get hit, especially where he showed clips before of that happening. What a perfect delivery of an intense moment
This man is just salting that dev's wounds. "I can't believe he beat my game without getting hit" "Now watch me beat EVERY game you've made without getting hit, in a row"
"with a fucking pencil"
@@arhamsaa who the foukin can do that?
Miyazaki is carefully planning his revenge
haha the ironic thing is Miyakazi's excellently designed games, 1/3/BB/sekiro are famous for having EXTREMELY good hitboxes, dodging hits by tiny windows which would make your skill apply way more but the one he DIDNT work on, the B-Teams game of DS2 has notoriously dogshit hitboxes where the entire game plays like pvp lag where youre clipped from 10 feet away, the bosses are terribly designed & the movement is restricted to 8 directions..its super clunky haha so ironically im more impressed someone beat DS2, the ugly bastard child, than any of the mainline good games
I don't see King's Field or Armored Core anywhere in this list.
I watched this video before ever playing a souls game, and thought it was just another day at the office watching these guys play. I have recently started playing Elden ring and came back to watch again. My respect for these runners is beyond belief.
Yah demon souls was my first game and now I’m like fr these guys are insane
Literally same
i never played the other games but i think they're a lot harder than ER now imagine
And elden ring is by far the easiest
AND Elden Ring is the easiest one (asides from Demons Souls), which makes it even more mind melting. Dude played the games like he invented it
That hug at the end though. Perfect way to celebrate such an achievement.
That last “And this happened” really had me for a minute, I thought my heart was gonna shatter
Same I was shook when he landed the killing blow
I think he pulled this before, but very sparingly which makes this an amazing tool. I just hoped for the love of all that this was a fake-out. ... really puts you in the shoes of the people right in that moment when you *can't* tell what's happening next.
i was so happy he did it
Me too. I was like “Not at the last second!!!” I’m so glad I got got.
I saw that there were still a few minutes left so I thought he wouldn't get it. The whole time I kept thinking "cmon dude, please do this. Please finish this for the sake of my weak heart, and for your sake!" And then he won. I swear I'm not crying, it's just those darn onion ninjas slicing onions everywhere I go.
25:33 I love how you didn't make it obvious whether the clip was going to be of him failing or succeeding, kept me on the edge of my seat
After all those defeats, that victory made me popoff. Good lord, I think I need a smoke after that, I got the tingles all over XD
i was so ready to burst into tears when he failed here, and I burst into tears when he succeded instead
Yes because the title surely did not indicate succes. 😜
@@ThomasfromDenmark1 there was enough time later on in the video for him to say about someone else succeeding, also clickbait is a thing too
@@johnrobinson1481 lol sure whatever.
Huge respect to Hob for saying "We did it" Acknowledging his audience and their support throughout his runs! Also, the guy has a great sense of humour and a no barrels hold approach to it! Mad respect for the lad all around!
I always enjoy Hob’s streams. He’s a killer Souls player and a good dude.
I have never in my life played dark souls and am not really an uber emotional person at all - but the end almost brought me to tears … one could feel how relived he was and what burden fell off of him … great content
“how does one prove complete dominance over a game?” *charlie playing mr krabs ODs on ketamine*
👌
My man owned that game
my thoughts exactly lol
@@gamemeister27 Yea, and because of all the hours wasted playing that game he didn't own anything else.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that too.
The fact that nearly everyone who accomplishes any of these runs first reaction is to bawl instead of cheer goes to show a little of the monumental amount of torment this kind of thing entails...
@Freekazoid they're not making any real profit chief
@@unknownkingdom the boomer is strong with this one
@@unknownkingdom It's almost like the most important people in your life are the ones who give a shit about your hobbies and interests, and who care for who you actually are. Not what respect-worthy badass you attempt to be, to make up for 0 personality just to impress women. Besides, you act like he has nothing else to make up for it.
@@unknownkingdom "Cant "make up for it" when you play. a video game for 16 hours and cry over it." "Maybe she stays with him cause he makes bank in some geek tech office job " You answered your own question bro. Even then you assume that every women in the world wants what America thought was the ideal male like 30-40 years ago. Also I don't know what tangent you are going on about respect, he has a bunch of followers on a social media platform and he is extremely dedicated to his goal, that's enough to respect for some people. Obviously if he was not respect worthy then she wouldn't have stuck around with him, unless you are insinuating all women have high-standards and the ones who don't are exploiters. "There's no coming back from that dawg" Coming back from what? There are worse things to not come back from but you chose him crying for like 2 minutes for something he finally accomplished after months of hard-work? I think you severely misunderstand the difficulty of what he just did, and what's the difference between him and every toxic beergut fratboy who piss themselves when their favorite sports team loses or wins? Or do you just have a hatred for videogames and office jobs? Whether you like it or not he is making bank, has followers that watch him and a girlfriend that cares for him enough to hug him when he is crying. What part of you makes it sound like a negative thing? Your views are really outdated, general society doesn't have unrealistic expectations of relationships and identity anymore. Videogames are turning into actual sports and can even be a job for some. I know it's wild, but you will get used to it. Trust me.
@@unknownkingdom sounds like someones projecting need a hug or something? or are you too "manly" and such? anywho obvs bait is obvs and im gonna go eat my hands
I just finished Dark Souls 1 and 2 for the first time in my life this month. Total it took me about 120 hours, with a good 80 of that being the first game. These games are far from impossible, but to someone like me finishing them without getting hit is. Mad respect to this guy.
man i was there when hob did the god run..what a night. a few moments prior otzdarva succeeded with the ds2 all boss no hit run and a few hours after sekiro dropped.. good times
Imagine living next to Hob and every other year or so he starts randomly cheering his head off
like living next to any sport fan

You can just feel his sense of relief after 16 hours of perfect play, he literally broke down in tears.
Well, what is it!
@@jmlagn2650 Shrug -_-
why are you everywhere
You write the most obvious comments possible on every video. Are you making a comment no bot world record too?
Every.Single.Time.
25:32 Sound cuts out. 27:25 Sound comes back. Dunno if anyone else experienced this, just a note is all.
thanks I was confused asf
I was so into this video, I gave an ovation to the final run. Outstanding. The buildup you did for it was incredible too. Throughout the entire video, anytime Karl says “...and then this happened.” You expect it to be a soul-crushing failure. And the last time he says it, your eyes are GLUED to the screen, feeling anxiety yourself as you wonder when he will take the hit... and it never came. Bravo again Karl. I watched this video in the past, but I entirely forgot its’ contents. Worth the rewatch. Now let’s see Elden Ring in The God Run 3 SL1 💀
the way that the last streamer reacted to the end of his run shows how much effort he put onto mastering each little detail to make his run perfect. truly a legend.
He already started crying before the last hit coz he already knew that was his window. Shows you how much he knows all attack animations
Put*
I immediately had the feeling that he wouldn't be as happy even with having a kid.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SaskDuder get comfortable with emotions or they’ll always control you
"putted onto" and you can't put 3 seconds of effort into a comment. That's why you're a failure
There is nothing genuinely better than seeing someone working hard for a goal, only to fail time and time again, then finally, they grasp their hard-earned win in their hands and cry. Everyone watching cries. It's just so beautiful.
That's what FromSoft games are all about, even regular runs by new players. I love it.
@alan caprock if this is how you feel, then why are you even here? This entire channel is about speedrunning games. Edit: yes, this guy really came onto a speedrunning channel and shit all over the sport. Glad he deactivated or whatever.
there is something better, probably. and thats doing it
It’s cringe
@@TheDamnBeast dude from soft games are overrated. They were also never that hard and most games from the early 2000’s games were already doing what dark souls did
Man this video is beyond insane. Epic job loved it from start to finish!
End audio not working for me anyway
Doesn't work for me either.
Music copyright
For those who don’t know: these games don’t cancel input actions if the player performs a different action before the first is finished. The first action will play out. This means that there were 0 misclicks during combat… for 16 hours.
I'm sitting here misclicking in pinball on win xp
No? You can cancel out parts of attacks with rolls and estus cancel exists
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 please don't. Lmao
@@marloncebo242 it's true tho, unless it's a big ass sword the lighter stuff can be rolled out of early
thiagos right. you can totally cancel attacks.
The fact that these runs are even possible is a testament to the fairness of the games' mechanics.
This is why souls games are amazing. They got actual difficulty, made by design and mechanic. Its also why SL1 run is possible. Its not artificial difficulty where instead you make every enemy one shot you or has unlimited HP, or simply by increasing the quantity of the enemies and then call it the "hardest difficulty".
@@zarfo2667 is hitless runs around in any of the (modern) Doom games?
@@curious_ember wasn't thought about at the time to make it fair. Some little thing will unfairly track you. I haven't heard anything of the sort in Doom bc the mechanics are not "fair."
The reward cycle in modern Doom require you take hits and push through. The top players play NM and UNM and nobody would care to no hit a game that was never designed to be no hit. They would have to take the difficulty down a lot, and then something would still unfairly track them.
@@penguinjay Im a NM player myself (every done except horde, haven't had a chance to play it yet). But, in D2016, because of the way the arena' are comparatively and the combat loop itself to Doom Eternal, it could possibly be done in 2016, no? Or would the Imp AI and sniper make that near impossible?
climax of the video is completely muted lol. should probably fix that or add a comment explaining why at the very least.
This is insane O___O, 15 hours of non-stop play, and its perfectly executed, this guy is on another level.
I am 40 hours into in a single game I didn't come no where near beating it
"There was surely no where to go from here." *15 minutes left on the video*

@25:30 excellent story telling on your part man. I was really excited to see what happens next because you didn't spoil the outcome.
Audio cuts out near the end for approximately 2 minutes.
That's because hob is stalling
when elden ring comes out, people are gonna have to name the category soulsbornekiroring
Would be fucking hilarious if they involved the AC games that involved Miyazaki too, basically 3 and 4A.
Soulsborne Sekiring?
Eldensoulsbornekiro?
They need to include the King's Field series too
Probably Miyazaki is looking at those runs and decided that every new FromSoft game will have a completely unique title so that those runs get insanely long and weird names.
Amazing video, Karl. I, as well as the rest of the hitless community, are glad that more people can potentially discover a love for doing No Hit runs.

The no hit run of Dark Souls 2 was such an emotional roller-coaster. When he got hit so close to the end, that was heartbreaking.
When Otz finally got the run after failing twice to the burnt Ivory King I was I tears. The guy deserved the win.
The Happy Hob and his dog celebrating is the most legendary moment.
PETLINK
It was cute, dog had no idea what was going on but of course he/she was happy anyway
@@RisingRevengeance the dog ususally hops in on his own terms now whenever hob celebrates, just he was a baby boy back then and not old enough to understand that hob was happy :)
@@anesthetized7053 I think he understood that he was happy. I meant that he obviously didnt understand why he was happy. Your dog will just naturally be happy when you're happy.

Cuts to some old guy getting a legitimate Pac Man high score
After thirty sleepless days and nights with no food, little water, the fate of all humanity hanging in the balance, the alien overlords watching impatiently, the last bit of his sanity slipping away, and the entire scientific community in a violent uproar over the sheer physiological impossibility of what they were witnessing, AndrewG got 4:51.
"This honestly makes me emotional every time I watch it." He says in the most stoic voice possible.
He's a very convincing AI
Literally Holt xD
Hey Karl, the audio in this one has been cutting out entirely from 25 min to 27 min.
Watching Dino beat the God run on level 1 after several tries amd seeing his emotions take over i can only clap for him. That was awesome to see.
You know you found a good video when it starts with "hello you absolute legends" and then theres charlie overdosing on ketamine in the background
Another thing that I feel is worth mentioning. Having to use weaker weapons because of Soul Level 1 doesn't just make fights take longer because you do less damage. It also forces you to use weapons that are shorter, and therefore you have to get closer to enemies to be able to hit them, which is obviously more dangerous. You can see in the footage of the runs that a non-Soul level 1 speedrun uses a nice and long two-handed weapon, but the one that doesn't uses a weapon of unremarkable length. I know this sounds minor, but believe me, weapon range is important in Dark Souls and having a shorter weapon is a serious penalty. A long weapon can make certain enemies easy to fight if your attack range exceeds its, which is lost when a shorter weapon forces you to enter an enemy's attack range to hurt it.
in DkS1/DSR you also get longer recovery when you whiff an attack with weapons like the reinforced club so missing can be deadly despite being hard to avoid against agile enemies like Ornstein
SOUND DROPS AT 25:33 mins
Thank you for confirming its not just me.
same here
Sound is missing at the best part of the video
copyright claim probably
@@kingarth0r Exactly. At least it does come back eventually, when the BGM ends. That song triggers KZhead's copyright system.
I felt like a god when I completed the entirety of DS1 without dying back in the day. Little did I know I wasn't even close to being great at the game lol
If you can beat DS1 without dying, you're great at the game, but just not the best in the world :3
I felt like a god when I first finished Dark Souls... And yeah, i died a shit ton of times too.
Don't sell yourself short, clearing dark souls without dying is proof of your skill. You don't have to be the best in order to be great.
Sure, talent has a huge role in this, but in games where dying is common, doing a deathless run makes you more than respectable.
Being able to defeat Bed of Chaos without dying alone is a massive accomplishment.
The next run with Elden Ring included should be called “Miyazaki’s Gauntlet”
This is a much better name suggestion than any cursed portmanteau people could come up with.
@@TheZerocrossings *SOULSBORNEKIRORING*
(DS2 wasn't made by Miyazaki)
In that case they should also add Armored Core 4 and For Answer lol
@@atijohn8135 close enough tho
I remember fighting Fatalis in Monster Hunter: World/Iceborne. I have beaten it a handful of times, but the last time I did it I was so intense and focused that my hands started locking up and I spent my time trying to make my hand work more than actually fighting the monster. I could only imagine how intense those last moments were for him as something like this is so far beyond in difficulty at the very least simply due to how long you have to be entirely perfect.
Truly the hardest struggle I’ve ever seen in video game history BY A LANDSLIDE. Massive, MASSIVE respect to that man.
It took me around 1000 hours just to achievement hint the Dark Souls Trilogy, and after attempting even a no-death run on any 1 of the games, it’s stupidly difficult. Props to all the people who even attempted a no-hit run, and especially to those who finished. Y’all are really built different
The only one I managed to complete no death was on DS2. I wanted those rings you get beating the game without a death and the other for not using a bonfire. It took me a month of just playing DS2 to complete it.
@@sakurya972 what did the rings do?
@@dylanhalll407 I believe they're talking about the Obscuring Rings (I think that's the name). Each of them make your right and left weapons invisible. One of them you get by havong 0 deaths and the other by not using any bonfire besides the primal ones.
only he finished
@@saladfrog I really doubt 99% of humans are able to keep up their focus and timing for that long of a period when it comes to the lenght of the godruns. That and also the ability and brutal willpower to memorize and learn these mechanically complex sequences... I get your point, but telling "anyone" can do it is a little bit disrespectful for the fella, don't you think?
Just so you guys know, The Happy Hob just won Soulsbornkiro NHR: complete DS1, DS2, DS3, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro without taking a hit. Truly incredible.
Its not even about being built different anymore
It’s about hard work and perseverance. The man is a helluva worker
So did Dinosindgail
It's about drive it's about power
Oh God, I wonder if he will try it with Elden Ring too-
20 years from now: All 18 SoulsBorne games beaten no hit, no leveling, no running, blind mode, deaf mode, no weapon (fists only), and with a mod that gives the bosses 10 times more health
you forgot using a guitar hero guitar and DDR mat as a controller
I could never do any of these amazing accomplishments. Truly disciplined in all those attempts are truly remarkable. Hat's off to them and what they've done.
I have mad respect for no hit runners. Even in easier games, its still very hard to not get hit even once. It would just be too frustrating for me to do.
Then you’d be impressed by me. I’ve been doing a no hit run my whole life.
@@Wyllowisp 😭
I misread the comment as "I have no respect for mad hit runners"
Exactly...like I did DS3 NG+7 SL1, but this stuff is absolutely something I would hardly ever be able to do...especially with multiple games in a row and at once...that is just insane...mad respect...shame that Otzdarva was not mentioned...his DS2 all bosses run is insane and absolutely heartbreaking, a feat to be remembered since the DLCs are absolutely MAD.
@@River_StGrey this right the fuck here. That just brought back a fever dream wasn't he literally on like the last hit?
“we” did it. No dude. YOU did it, we just watched in awe.
Well, streamers do depend on their audience for income. And considering the amount of time and effort you need to pour into this, we're talking about months of dedicated playtime. It's a full time job and like any full time job, you expect to get paid to do it. The only exception being that our bosses *have* to pay us, where as viewers of a streaming channel are under no such obligations and purely do it to support the streamer. I feel like 'we' is appropriate here, because his viewers likely provided him with the funds necessary to keep pursuing his goal, showing their loyal support. It warrants the use of the word 'we', imo. A lot of streamers couldn't do the things they do without the support (both emotional and financial) of their viewers.
Inclusive speech makes money
@@Xylarxcode Well said
If he wants to say "we did it" than why can't he. His viewers offer him a lot of support during these things and so that's why they say it.

He doesn't leech of views by emotion, he's just purely professional in his work. Well, most of the time, but you could argue jokes are the kind of stuff you need as a professional entertainer
at the 26 ish minute "and then THIS happened" I was SOOOOOOOO sad and terrified. Then he clutched it and broke down, and so did I.
man it just got more and more insanely impressive over time huh? what a special series of games
That mr krabs ketamine run was historic
Yeah but it got glossed over because Charlie's every breath is historic.
21:45 "Man, i'm gonna cry..." Viewers: wonky ponky ponky wonky
Hahahaha
it was poggie woggie
poggie woggie poggie woggie poggie woggie
Lmao , anti climatic thing there
Poggy woggy
Audio cut out for anyone else around 26:00?
Yup
Yes, same here
Great video, i don't know how these people can do no hit runs and also the amount of dedication it takes
Diasppointed by this "hitless" speedrun: The guy hit all the enemy mobs plenty!
What clickbait smh.
This reads like a literal Larry tweet lol
@@lumonetic1124 you're the clickbait mate. learn sarcasm
@@Pundae i think he was making a sarcastic joke about how the title of the video was sarcasm
@@Pundae I'm... *also* being sarcastic...
it wasnt brought up but i think its so impressive and needs to be talked about. Faraaz was the first person to No Hit DS3 thats true, but it was Any% meaning there were a lot of bosses not killed and those bosses are widely considered the hardest in the game like Nameless King, Oceiros, and Champion Gundyr. at the time, Faraaz and Squilla were the closest at completing the All Bosses No Hit Run and Hob hadnt even completed the Any%. but that didnt stop him. when Hob got his first ever completion of the Any% run, he immediately took that run and started his attempts on the 100% run. little did we know, he would only need 1 attempt. he played perfectly the rest of that run and got the world first DS3 All Bosses No Hit Run.
That's aweeome
16:36 that being a record an insult to the category. Happy Hob would never do some coward bow cheese like that
he does though. do you not watch his streams? bow is used.
@@Liam-co1bw7:08
@@lottji doesn't mention bows at all. blocking and magic are completely different.
I genuinely thought this was gonna be click bait at first but this man is so talented that he got me emotional about a person I hadn't heard of 40 mins ago
What a legend. Don't blame him one bit for breaking down like that, amazing moment in gaming history. Also at 26:38 Cinder's look was just added flair and cinematic to the stream. So chilling.
Yes
plin plin plon...
Yeah definitely don't blame him for crying over video games
I just hope no one has a heart attack and dies from the extreme exertion. Seriously.
I lose my mind when I lose to a boss more than three times or so and I got my first ever visual migraine from playing "overcooked". I don't think I would survive speedrunning.
I disagree. We can all only hope to die doing what we love.
@@filipmode125 I dont think they want a fucking heart attack tho
@@Hetsu.. i dont think you can choose what kills you, unless you decide to speedrun your own life.
@@gradeyundery4939 the majority of speedrunners don't take "performance enhancing drugs"
Audio just dies midway through the video from 25:31 minute mark and doesn't come back till around 27:23...
Copyrighted music probably
i didnt think i would click on this video and get emotional. these guys are legends. it amazes me to see what the human mind can achieve with enough drive and dedication
You really had me at the end, because every time you said "and this happened" something bad happened during the run. I was glad to see that there wasn't a screw-up when the SL1 Soulsborne run was completed.
Yeah... as soon as I realized there was only one hit left I was a nanosecond away from ragequitting youtube
Just imagine getting hit when there is only one hit left to finish the run. I would literally quit gaming.
I really love Skilla's stoicism... Other streamers: Yelling, celebrating, breaking into tears.. Skilla: Oh, it's done, I think I'll have a sandwich.
TTS: Poggy woggy poggy woggy
I like his channel, but it borders on boring, at times.
@@dynamicflashy Not even kidding, I literally use squilla videos to sleep, his voice is sooo monotone, a shame considering that some of his runs are very interesting in concept, like the "all achievements ds2"
@@dynamicflashy I guess it depends on your own personality. For me, the overexcited yelling and celebrating and unnecessary hyping is often a reason not to watch. On the other hand, the streamers who stay calm and collected and talk about what their plans are in even voices are much more appealing. I always feel like if you have to yell and scream about something, you're not in control of the situation or your own emotions anymore. I know it's an outlet like any other and some people just can't help it, but it's just not a quality that appeals to me in a streamer.
@@arkan_k4c582 i dont watch Squilla's videos but i watch alot of his streams and they're great to relax to because of his voice
The audio cuts out at 25:32
Amazing! Great job 👏🏼
No-hit runs: the gaming equivalent of free solo climbing.
That's actually a good analogy. One mistake and you're fucked!
wait people actually do that?

Divinity The Original Sin music was the perfect way to end that boss fight.
I was about to comment this, I'm glad someone else did first.
Keeping it together, Bree?
@@rol9834 I'm alright... As long as I don't think about it too much
@@Onebadterran You're safe among friends. Never forget it.
What song from divinity is it? I looked up boss theme but it wasn't that
I started to cry along with the dude. So impressed. Great job dude. Massive respect 👍
Someone just recently finished the Celeste 202 deathless run. Every single strawberry, including golden and moonberry, done without dying once. One of my favorite gaming feats.
Otzdarva reclaiming his no-hit DS2 run deserves so much more attention than it gets, especially since KZhead demonetised the video and it doesn't get recommended as much :(
Yea no hit all bosses ds2 Pretty difficult too
otzdarva is a legend
I was surprised it wasn't mentioned at all towards the beginning. Maybe it's because I love his DBD content but I wish he got some attention.
yea, otz should have been mentioned
Otz's no-damage/no-hit DS2 run is just as legendary, and I'm sad it wasn't mentioned either.
Really upset to not see Otzdarva's DS2 no hit run, all 41 bosses including DLC, no hits. He tried it for years and finally beat it at the start of 2020
Yeah, I came here expecting to see mention of all of the work Otz put in (and the heartbreaking ivory king hit choke.) Otz' runs were insanity back years ago, further still because the community so rejected DS2 at the time and he was like the only one running it.
27:25 probably worth reuploading this one with the audio fixed/redone?

I like referring to it as Ohko (one hit knock out) 😂 this vid was super interesting!
His face as soon as the Soul of Cinder backsteps for the lightning shower attack is priceless, he knew he'd done it
Nice catch.
15:27 "The God Run 2, now with 20% more divinity"
I honestly was expecting him to say "the God run 2, electric boogoloo"
25:22 Why does the sound cut out here?

@@ProBotGamming Whose? The streamer's? Was Karl using the Star Wars theme song at that part?
Alex Hill I have no clue, but that’s the only reason it would get cut out
Man, I was hoping to see Otz's DS2 no hit all bosses run
same
Was looking for this coment, I think he is the only one who killed ALL bosses of that game, or at least the first.
@@kundeorama Him first and then Hob followed in his footsteps
Same for me, I was looking for Otzdarva in this video. But he competed in the all bosses not hit category, wich is even crazier than the "classic" no hit run, DS2 with the dlc's represent more bosses than Bloddborn and Demon souls together!
Yeah, now that I know that he's not in here, I'm way less interested in the video. D:
