25 years ago, Nintendo began to promote an action-adventure game called Riqa, but that game quickly disappeared from the public eye and vanished into obscurity. But now, the game is back and playable thanks to one of the original devs at the defunct UK developer Bits Studios.
A Dark Souls Fans Has Beaten All Three Games In Less Than 90 Minutes
24.03.2024 - 13:25 / thegamer.com
Dark Souls can be pretty rough if you're new to the series, forcing you to slam your head against bosses that are essentially brick walls with way too many legs. If you know what you're doing, things are much easier, and you'll struggle to find anyone who knows more about Dark Souls than Twitch streamer Regole, who recently earned himself a new world record by beating not only the first game, but both of its sequels, back to back in under 90 minutes.
Regole announced his new world record via his Twitter account earlier this week, sharing the stats and final time of his run for posterity. In total, Regole managed to polish off every Dark Souls game back to back in 1 hour and 29 minutes exactly, with an even more impressive time of 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 20 seconds if you only take into account time in the games.
Unsurprisingly, Regole was streaming when he completed his world record run, posting how long it took him to finish each game as he made his way through them. Naturally, Dark Souls 1 was up first, which Regole managed to brush aside in a little over 23 minutes, while completing Dark Souls 2 was an even easier task, with a total time of just under 18 minutes.
On the other hand, Dark Souls 3 was a different beast all on its own, taking almost the same amount of time to beat as the previous two Dark Souls games combined. It's a game that Regole knows that he can improve upon though, as he's aiming to get his in-game time down to sub 75 minutes, with the ambition to submit his runs to Summer Games Done Quick if he gets fast enough. Don't be surprised to see Regole at SGDQ next year.
You also realize just how much of a Dark Souls speedrunner Regole actually is when you take a look at his Speedrun.com page, which includes several world records for Dark Souls 1 runs, including Souls Level 1 Any Percent and the world record speedrun for Dark Souls 1's Artorias of the Abyss DLC. Add this new world record to his total, and Regole has got a pretty impressive haul, though something tells me it isn't going to last for long.
