Streamer Crayator's first shot at beating Red Dead Redemption 2, live, without a single death, ended nine-and-a-half hours in when Arthur Morgan somehow hit his head at top speed on horseback, chasing after a train in true old west movie fashion.
Replays don't really make clear what happened, but he died. The second attempt came to a halt at two hours when he was mauled, hilariously, by a grizzly bear as an NPC sat nearby doing nothing about it.
This might have made viewers wonder if this deathless run attempt, Crayator's attempt to beat Grand Theft Auto 5 with no deaths, would end in defeat.
He'd attempted GTA 5 eight times before giving up on it. As reported by our friends at GamesRadar+, streamer Crayator knocked it out on the third attempt.
The third run took about 30 hours—pretty speedy for such a long game—capping off a week of streaming and 45 hours total over the three attempts to beat the game and its epilogue seamlessly, without dying.
