No, that headline isn’t ribbing anyone for no-lifing games, as someone actually beat Dark Souls 3 without taking a single step.
Last week, YouTuber Ymfah took it upon themselves to finish Dark Souls 3 without walking (Thanks, GamesRadar). Not only that, they did it while making every boss look like a chump. As if all of us needed another reminder of how good some folks are at FromSoftware’s infamously challenging games.
Ymfah did this by choosing the Thief class, as it starts with a bandit knife. That specific weapon’s unique skill moves your character forward slightly, and Ymfah used this ability to get through all of Dark Souls 3.
Check out the entire run for yourself below. Try not to eat anything while watching, though — it’s a laugh riot.
The speedrunning community regularly makes mincemeat out of FromSoftware’s titles. On Tuesday, someone finished Elden Ring in less than seven minutes. Another fan beat the infamously brutal boss Margit with a controller made of bananas. By the time this post is up, I expect someone will finish Dark Souls 2 using a trumpet.
So if you ever feel like you aren’t very good at Soulslike games, remember this: none of us are skilled compared to these folks. Let’s not even get started on Sekiro speedruns; that’s just depressing.
