The game has only been out for just over a month - many other types of speedruns are surely yet to come.

Just two weeks ago, Distortion2 posted a sub-30-minute speedrun. As the game develops and more routes start to be discovered, there will be more categories that are. Since the game was released, runners have been finding new ways to beat the game in record time. Right now in Elden Ring, there are two main categories that speedrunners are completing. Prior to this new record, it took the runner 15 hours of attempts and “countless failed runs,” Distortion2 wrote in the comment, in order to finally achieve this one. Once there, they run across ledges and shortcuts using expert platforming, as well as darting past mobs to loot specific items and grab upgrades. They jump off the edge of cliffs to their death, before glitching to travel to other locations. (This includes, for example, the “Volcano Warp” that allows the player to zip to Volcano Manor, a later-game location.)ĭistortion2 uses a combination of exploits and sheer skill in the course of their run. The 18:57 speedrun was accomplished on the old 1.02 patch of the game which allows for “use of force quits and the ‘zipping’ glitch,” Distortion2 wrote in the comments section of the YouTube video. This is an Any% run, which means glitches and other tricks are fair play.
