The Lords of the Fallen Challenge
Lords of the Fallen offers a gameplay mode — or rather, a unique set of modifiers — that I’ve often wished existed in other Souls-like games. It’s not an arena, but a relentless test of survival with twists that breathe new life into the experience.
Every now and then, I pick a fresh character and begin what I call the Lords of the Fallen Challenge. The goal is simple: survive as long as possible under strict conditions with a brand-new character.
🎥 Recording Rules
The entire run — from character creation to your final death — must be recorded without a single missing second.
You’re allowed to pause or split your recording, but the footage must remain complete and unbroken.
The moment you die, your journey ends. No retries.
🧠 Want to join?
Other challengers are more than welcome!
To participate:
- Start a new character using the same rule set.
- Record your entire run, as described above.
- Upload your video to YouTube.
- Share the link here or in the comments of one of my videos.
📜 Hall of the Fallen?
If enough players join, I might build a dedicated page or archive to list all challenge videos.
I’m still figuring out how to rate submissions — maybe by level reached, bosses defeated, or total kills.
Suggestions welcome!
Let the Hollow decide your fate.
And remember: in this run, death is the end.
