Man Completes All Soulsbourne Games Without Being Hit.

Not satisfied with no hitting Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodbourne. The Happy Hob, fomerly The Happy Hobbit, played all the Soulsbourne games, IN A ROW without being hit.

He had to battle severe RSI, at some point only being able to use his fists to control the game, and Twitch Chat being both supportive and a distraction.

What an achievement!

Glad for him, literally a day before Sekiro. That last part was ungodly clench.

I was lucky to watch all of it today. I knew he would get this today. I am so happy for him it has been such a long road. The final run, no tattoo. So good.

I have called work to say I am going to be late just to watch him do the last 2 bosses. Worth it.

The dude is a legend. So glad he was able to pull it off on his last attempt. I know he put a lot into this run!

I was on the edge of my seat during that Cinder fight. The Archives were insane. The timing on finally beating the run is incredible.

Been watching him the last few weeks, fell asleep a bit earlier and woke up when he was on his way to Cinder. Couldn't believe it, just amazing!

Nice achievement. Too bad you ruined it with that horrible portmanteau.

yeah but can he do all that on bongo drums, or a DDR mat? Didn't think so.

jokes aside, did he do start the level again if he got hit at all, or did he do the entire 3 games with no hits AT ALL? because one is far crazier than the other

All 5 games in a row without getting hit once. If he got hit on any game he started completely over.

Entire 3? You mean entire 5 DeS, DS1, DS2, BB, DS3. If he got hit in any of them he had to restart back to the first game.

Holy fuck he finally did it. Watched him do DS3, BB and DeS only to get hit by 1 of the garbage enemies at the start of DS1 the other day and he just looked so defeated. Incredible achievement.

The keys to the Happy Hob Hotel is what he means, just a sub catch phrase as you mentioned. I imagine with the massive amount of people that subbed when he did it he short-handed quite a bit lol.

Yes, what he did is unbelievably difficult. 5 entire games without getting hit once, and repeating from the start of the 5 games if you do get hit. Every day, for close to a year.

Amazing. Definitely one of the most impressive feats of gaming that I've ever seen.

I watched most of the DS3 run and I was so clenched during every boss fight. What a legend

Now I have something to strive for in my life.

But seriously, you have to admire the feat, but at the same time, I get the feeling that kind of crazy dedication might have been better applied elsewhere.

How long did this particular run take? I'm hearing that he even had to deal with one of his friends commiting suicide during it? I can't imagine the focus...

And he's gonna do it all over when Sekiro is out, I'm assuming.
While it is definitely insanely impressive I do have to wonder if there isn't something he could do that he might find more enjoyable than starting the series over and over on every single hit.

Nah, he's done with it. He intends to no-hit Sekiro and do no-hits of other games (RE4 is one he's wanted to do for a while), but he said he's not going for any other marathon no-hits like this any time soon, if ever.

About a year of runs every day, more or less.

He dedicated himself to a task that no one else has done, practiced many hundreds of hours, cultivated an audience and made a living off his attempts, and finally succeeded in the eleventh hour. What more can you ask of someone?
