Elden Ring speedrun world record video

Speedrunning Elden Ring is so new that speedrun.com — the community’s leading database of verified feats — doesn’t yet have any listings. That hasn’t stopped runners from getting a head start, and it appears that when the first marks are sanctioned, they’ll be coming in under 30 minutes.

LilAggy, a Twitch streamer posted what seemed to be his first sub-60 minutes run 12 days after the game was launched. The streamer Distortion2 then shaved his personal best over the weekend. by more than 20 minutesThe benchmark in running Elden Ring Down to 28:59 You can see the video below.

The speedrun is Any%, which means that all tactics are fair game. Distortion2 makes use of some in-game skills as well as exploits, such as double jumping while on a horse to cover more ground. He also “wrong-warps” the game, which forces the game to respawn his character into new locations after he dies, so he can skip to late-game areas that much faster.

In setting the previous unofficial record, LilAggy pointed out one reason why speedrun.com doesn’t recognize any records yet: the timing rules haven’t been officially decided. Distortion2’s runs were clocked according to in-game time, which came from Elden Ring’s save file. The speedrun community may opt for “RTA No Load,” which means real time minus the time spent in loading screens.

The flurry makes Elden Ring You are a strong Games Done Quick candidate. In the coming weeks, Summer Games Done Quick is accepting submissions. The event organizers will decide if the game is included in the speedrunning marathon. They have to take into account its watchability and performer as well as where the game would be placed within a week’s time frame.
