Often, gamers will place restrictions on themselves while playing their favorite games for challenge runs. Normally, this can include things like no healing or conserving as much ammo as possible, or even something like thisPokemon Sword and Shieldsolo-Wooloo playthrough. What streamer Super Louis 64 did, though, was on a whole other level.
The streamer completedHalo 3on the highest difficulty using aGuitar Herocontroller. Needless to say, that’s pretty insane.

This may seem like an impossible feat, but Super Louis 64 does these sorts of challenge runs all the time. Before thisHalo3run, he’d done such things as beatingDark Souls 3with two dance pads. This was when he was under the name ATwerkinYoshi, but despite his new username this streamer is still pulling off crazy and impressive runs like this. TheHalo 3run took about a month, and he died a total of 251 times. For a Legendary run, that’s a better death count than some players can hit with a normal controller.
Super Louis 64 mentions in his Reddit thread that he tried the run because he saw a tweet with someone joking about seeing their roommate beatHalo 3with a guitar. He wanted to see if that was actually possible, and clearly it was, but it wasn’t easy! “[I]t turns out it definitely is if you don’t mind your hands falling apart,” Super Louis 64 says in his Reddit post. “The hard part of the run was managing a FPS with a guitar that has no joysticks.” There’s really no way to aim and shoot at the same time without the joysticks, so there’s no doubt that this was a challenge.
Challenge runs are always a popular sort of run on Twitch and Reddit, along withspeedruns(which are a challenge of their own caliber). People love to watch others find new and unusual ways to play games, and runs like playing withGuitar Herocontrollers or dance pads will never stop being impressive. Sometimes game testers will evenuse the same speedrunning exploits to test their game.
Will Super Louis 64 tryHalo Infinite(when it releases)with aGuitar Herocontroller? Perhaps his hands are too wrecked from this run to consider it anytime soon.
Halo 3released for the original Xbox, but gamers can also play it as part of theMaster Chief Collectionfor PC and Xbox One.
