The challenge run that took 3012 years to complete. That's right, ancient civilisations in 1000 B.C predicted the invention of Dark Souls and the inevitable challenge run that would come with it. Using stone tablets and chisels, they theory crafted for 3 millenia leading up to Dark Souls release. Even with all that preparation time, it wasn't enough and only now, 12 years after the game's release, some British guy called JK Leeds has at last been able to beat Dark Souls with its undeniably worst weapon of all time. Watch this video to follow the epic and amazing journey, with twists and turns that will hit you so hard you'll turn into a load of Elven bread out of confusion. Not for the faint of heart.....
