18 Brutal Gaming Challenges You Must Complete Before You Die

14. Completing The Souls Series

The Souls series (and now Bloodborne) have made a cult following for themselves, a lot of that coming from how difficult they are. The titles have become almost legendary because of their challenge €“ and you just know any game where the tutorial involves fighting a boss, that it isn€™t going to mess around. The most challenging aspect of the games is probably that you never feel properly safe or comfortable, at least away from a bonfire. There€™s always that possibility that a monster is going to blindside you from out of nowhere; so you€™re always on edge, which ends up with you making mistakes. The bosses are none too friendly either, and most take a good few study sessions (interspersed with death) to get the better of. If, however, you still feel that they€™re just not hard enough... then you€™re not alone, because someone has managed to fully conquer Dark Souls using both a Guitar Hero guitar, a Rock Band drumkit, and even through voice commands alone. Now THAT takes dedication.
