Anyone who has ever played a FromSoftware game from the last 15 years knows that making it to the end is quite an impressive feat. Twitch streamer The Happy Hob takes this challenge to the next level by attempting to not take a single hit in his playthroughs of these games.
This in itself would be a godlike achievement in the eyes of most gamers, however, he surpassed even that by playingDark Souls 1-3, Demon’s Souls, Bloodborneand,Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceconsecutively without taking a single hit. He called the seemingly insurmountable challenge the God Run 2after completing the original God Run back in 2019. The Happy Hob successfully completed the first God Run just before the release ofSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The God Run 2 took The Happy Hob 2 years and 7 months to complete which is exactly how long it has been sinceSekiro: Shadows Die Twicereleased. This time was most likely spent getting to grips with the multitude of different mechanics the game brings to the party as opposed to the rest of theSoulsgames.Sekiro: Shadows Die Twicerelies far more heavily on parrying and perfectly timed dodges and blocks. The rest of the time spent was most likely spent on the multitude of attempts it must have taken to beat each game consecutively as it will remain a difficult task regardless of the number of times it has been done. The Happy Hob will have a mammoth task ahead of him whenElden Ringfinally releases.
One would think that they would need to dedicate nearly all of their time to these specific games to master them and complete them without getting hit. The Happy Hob, however, took a break from his God Run 2 attempts andcomplete a no-hit run onGoldeneye 007for good measure.
It is not hard to see the pure joy on The Happy Hob’s face when he killed Nashandra fromDark Souls 2.After defeating Nashandra The Happy Hob jumped up knocking his green screen over while screaming “Let’s go!” and finished his celebration off by picking his dog up to smother it in a warm embrace. The Happy Hob will luckily have some time to breathe before the God Run 3 asElden Ringisn’t releasing until May 28, 2025.
