The Iron Death Challenge – A Trial Etched in Shadows
In the cold silence between fire and ash, a new trial has begun.
With Lords of the Fallen (2023) as the crucible, I’ve created something I’ve longed for in many Soulslike titles: a true Ironman Challenge. No second chances. No safety nets. Just one character, one cursed journey — from creation to death, with every moment captured in unbroken footage. When death claims you, your run ends. The world forgets. But we won’t.
To honor the brave — and to remember the fallen — I’ve built a Highscore Archive:
👉 The Ironman Challenge Leaderboard
Each name there represents a soul who dared to walk the path. Some burned bright for hours. Others fell in mere moments. But all are remembered.
🔥 Want to join?
If you feel the pull of the abyss and the thrill of proving yourself, you’re welcome to take part. The rules are simple, but merciless:
- Minor Vestige Decay
- Randomized Loot & Enemies
- Pre-upgraded gear
- Ironman mode – no reloads, no saves
- Seamless video recording from start to final breath
Upload your run to YouTube, and I’ll add your name to the ledger. The top list will be updated regularly. Survivors will be remembered. The rest… consumed by the fog.
🕯️ This is just the beginning…
If interest grows, more challenges will follow. New trials. New rankings. Perhaps even a full archive — a Dark Almanach of those who walk the cursed paths across many games.
For now, I invite you to take a look:

Stay vigilant, Undead.
Your death will not be the end — unless it is forgotten.
