Penicillin. The Moon landing. Wireless telecommunications. These are just a few of the mad grasps for god's power that humanity has attempted in the last couple of centuries, and now their pantheon is joined by another ludicrous, transcendent venture. A heroic modder has slotted a ladder the height of the actual, genuine, real-life Empire State Building into FromSoft classic Demon's Souls. Then they climbed it. Then they died.
The achievement in question was spotted by GamesRadar and carried out by a player named Thens, who spent about nine minutes and four seconds scaling a ladder equal to the Empire State Building's 381 metres in height (sans tip). Marvel as Thens begins their ponderous climb to the top! Delight as the familiar sounds of the Snake Eater theme kick in! Delight again as it fades out because the climb lasts much longer than the track! And gasp in awe as Thens falls for a full 14 seconds to their death on reaching the top!
