Most Insane Challenge Runs

What are the most insane challenge runs anyone can do from different videogames?

I mean, I could think up a bunch, but that’s not so hard. Instead I think I’ll link to the craziest ones I’ve seen.

Given how hard a time I had with Ludwig, this is fucking insane. (though looks like he exclusively waits for one totally safe opening each time, which is kinda lame)

This one is also pretty nuts, no healing, no bonfire:

The Half Life hard scriptless category is a bitch. Hard is faster because more self damage for bigger boosts. Also it’s single segment, so if you die, you need to start the whole run over. Most people run this category RTA because it’s so hard. I’ve tried learning HL1 and it’s just a plain hard game to run.

    I think some of the GoldenEye and Perfect Dark LTK/Dark LTK individual level runs (in which you set enemy health, damage, accuracy and reaction speed to their maximum settings) are worth mentioning:

    Silo Dark LTK is generally considered the hardest, largely because of the timer:
