Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, like From Software’s previous games, is notoriously difficult. In fact, From Software considers itharder thanDark SoulsandBloodborne, so even veterans of those games will likely have a hard time withSekiro.Sekiro’s challenge has attracted the attention of PewDiePie, who rarely makes gaming videos anymore, but has decided to do so with an attempt at playing through the game without dying.
It doesn’t take long for PewDiePie to lose the challenge, but he keeps playingSekiroanyway, and continues to rack up deaths. At this point, the challenge becomes facetious, as PewDiePie insists that he has still died zero times despite dying repeatedly throughout the video. In total, he records over 40 minutes ofSekirogameplay before giving up shortly after theChained Ogre boss fight.
Throughout the video, PewDiePie does some things playingSekirothat may frustrate fans of the game. He skips many of the tutorials, and fails to do things like collect money from his dead enemies. He also rarely deflects, instead opting to hang back and hit enemies with a charge attack. While this strategy works for PewDiePie for the most part, it certainly isn’t the most effective way to playSekiroand defeat the enemies in the game.
PewDiePie playingSekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis more significant than it may seem to some, as the YouTuber rarely uploads video game footage. Nowadays, his channel is dedicated to series like Meme Review, You Laugh You Lose, and Pew News, where he reacts to various controversies. However, PewDiePie initially rose to prominence by uploading gaming footage to his YouTube channel, and so it almost feels like an event when he actually returns to what made him famous.
While PewDiePie is unable to beatSekirowith zero deaths, it’s certainly not an impossible feat. In fact, Twitch streamer Faraaz Khan hasalready beatenSekirowith no deaths. That’s an incredible feat in and of itself, but the future may bring even more ridiculousSekiroruns. After all, Happy Hob beat all theSoulsbornegames without even getting hit once, and it will be interesting to see if he is able to replicate the feat inSekiro.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
