Dr. Doot Triumphs: Completes Dark Souls Hitless Using Saxophone Controller
In a remarkable showcase of skill and creativity, streamer Dr. Doot has accomplished the seemingly impossible—defeating Dark Souls without taking any damage. Not only has this feat secured him a spot in the annals of gaming history, but it also confirms his mastery over the entire Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring, all played with an electronic saxophone known as an aerophone.
Dr. Doot, who holds a doctorate in music composition, has gained a following for his unique approach to gaming. He navigates these notoriously challenging titles using his saxophone as the primary controller. Recently, he shared a clip on Twitter of his flawless battle against Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, effectively marking the completion of his hitless run.
“The World’s First Sax-Controlled Dark Souls No-Hit Run has been DOOTED! I just beat Dark Souls without getting hit by a single enemy/trap while playing the game on an electric sax!!! I now can officially say that I have beaten THE ENTIRE DARK SOULS TRILOGY HITLESS ON A SAX!!!”
— Dr. Doot
But Dr. Doot’s accomplishments don’t stop there. His repertoire includes not only the Dark Souls series but also Bloodborne and Sekiro, both completed deathless using his innovative controller. Adding to his growing list of achievements, he’s tackled other difficult titles, including Cuphead, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
Despite his success in Hollow Knight, Dr. Doot aims for full completion of the game, setting his sights on tackling the additional Pantheon challenges introduced in the Godmaster update. While he has not yet delved into the path of Pain—one of the game’s most infamous platforming segments—the gaming community is eager to see if he’ll take on that ultimate challenge as well.
What’s next for this sax-playing gaming pioneer? After a triumphant no-hit run in Dark Souls 3, he’s now eyeing Monster Hunter Wilds, proving that his ambition is as vast as his talent.
