In an impressive display of skill and creativity, the well-known streamer Dr. Doot has completed a no-damage run in Dark Souls, defeating the iconic Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, using an electric saxophone as a controller. This achievement marks an unprecedented milestone in the history of video games, as he becomes the first player to complete a run with this type of control across the entire Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring, all without being hit by enemies or traps.
The saxophone, the best friend of the no-hitter
Dr. Doot, known for his distinctive musical gameplay style, ventured into the world of Dark Souls with an innovative approach. Each note of his saxophone was linked to the game’s inputs, allowing him to control his character through musical variations. By playing a specific note, such as an ‘A’ or a ‘D’, he could move forward or attack in the game, creating a unique gaming experience that combines music with the challenge of Dark Souls.
His victory over Gwyn, however, was somewhat less dramatic than one might expect, as he used a magic-based build, which turned out to be highly effective against the boss. In the words of Dr. Doot himself, “The first no-hit run of Dark Souls controlled by saxophone has been achieved!”. On social media, he expressed his excitement in announcing that he has now completed the entire trilogy without taking damage using his saxophone.
Meanwhile, Dr. Doot’s next challenge is on the horizon: he plans to do a 112% run of Hollow Knight, also using his saxophone as a controller. With his recent feats, it will be interesting to see how far he takes his innovative musical approach in the world of video games.
