Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is difficult enough on its own, so imagine setting yourself the task of completing the entire game in just two hours. Oh, and you're blindfolded the entire time. That's the challenge streamer Mitchriz set himself during the annual Awesome Games Done Quick event this past weekend, and the resulting run is quite simply astonishing. We've embedded the complete run up above, with the final time coming in at two hours and 35 seconds.
Watch in disbelief as Mitchriz utterly destroys some of the title's toughest bosses without being able to see — some encounters are completed without even taking damage. It's a truly impressive showing of both skill and knowledge, requiring you to know both how to take down a foe fast and the exact amount of button presses it takes to unlock an upgrade in the skill tree at the same time. All Mitchriz has to rely upon is sound and his own know-how.
According to Mitchriz's YouTube channel, the streamer has been attempting this feat for the last five months or so. And while his completion time during the AGDQ event may seem incredibly impressive, he's actually managed to accomplish the blindfolded task even quicker. Roughly three weeks ago, Mitchriz did a blindfolded run in 1 hour and 52 minutes. Without the blindfold on, he can beat the game in around 20 minutes.
AGDQ is now over for another year, but this was its biggest event yet, raising $3,416,729 for the Prevent Cancer charity. It's officially the most amount of money the event has ever raised.

Glad I arrive home when this run was 20 min in. This made me feel embarassed by the fact I never finished Sekiro.
Amazing run, surely an highlight from the event, which was already jampacked with cool moments.
Some of the setups here seem insane to remember even when you have your eyes open lol
"Without the blindfold on, he can complete the game in twenty minutes"
And I was happy with two months.
I didn’t even finish Sekiro and this guy’s doing it blindfolded! Glad to see so much money going to charity though.
I can't even tie my shoe laces blindfolded
Wow just wow will watch tonight thanks for the heads up!
Last GDQ there was a mario 64 run blindfolded. That was a real interesting watch.. Haven't watched this yet but it sounds like it would be even more complicated for difficult.
As much as I love Sekiro (and any Soulsborne games), I don't think I can afford to do these challenges anymore. I love playing difficult games but I don't think I can go this far. Impressive blindfold challenge tho.
Insane. Absolutely insane.
I can’t even wrap my head around this.
Got the platinum for Sekiro and it's probably one of my proudest gaming achievements. But I can't even imagine doing something like this. Speedrunners are something else, they play a game for 1000s of hours until they completely master it and in this case can play it quite literally blindfolded. I respect that dedication.
While I haven't watched any of the events since pre pandemic due to the events just feeling off without the cringe comedy gold that is some of the audience interactions, the runs themselves will always be mind blowing. Especially when you see how obscure and random some of the glitched runs are.
Got the platinum, but this...
This guy scares me.
Korea will fear this guy
!!!
It took me the best part of nearly 3 weeks to finally beat Isshin the Sword Saint... and this was actually using my eyes!
Well i feel inadequate now..thanks.
@Ashina You've actually been trying to do the challenges? It just sounds exhausting but I respect people for trying.
Ive not completed Sekiro since launch....unblindfolded😮. Hey, i dont even think unblindfolded is even a word 😂🤷♂️
Worthy cause tho. Props to that chap.
Having LilAggy on commentary is a great choice. The runner can focus entirely on his run as well as the audio cues, and meanwhile you get a thorough explanation by someone extremely knowledgeable about the game.
He did it like ronaldinho crossbar challenge
Just wanted to say one more thing. If you want to see a great run check out Stepmania! Almost 2 hours of mindblowing action
He's obviously using the Force, like Luke did in the Death Star's meridian trench.
Impressive, just a long time ago someone did the same with ocarina of time and that was cool....
Now let's see someone play ninja gaiden sigma on master difficulty blindfolded too! Hahaha 😂😂😁
At least this was for charity and for a good cause 😁
I will probably take two hours to beat the first boss...
Great to hear that so much money went to charity.
I once beat a friend in Tekken while I was blindfolded.
I will admit this could be perceived as more impressive...if only slightly.
Amazing memory.
I could not even get past the first halfway boss with out him tossing me off the cliff.
Mike Tyson's Punchout has all sorts of bizarre and insane categories of speedruns, but speedrunning Sekiro blindfolded is on a another lever.
What in the f*ck 😵💫 I might come back to that last boss someday; treat it as a game in itself see if I can beat this guy’s run…
