The speedrunner with the first under-19 minute run, Distortion2, has posted another record-breaking run, beating the game in under nine minutes.<\/p>\n<p >We\u2019ve embedded the video of the impressive run above, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/elden-ring-fromsoft-speedrun-12-minutes-zipping-mitchri-1848773561\">which beat out a sub-13 minute record set over the weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside ><\/aside>\n<p >Because this is an Any% and \u201cunrestricted\u201d speedrun, anything goes when getting to the game fast. That means there are a lot of glitches as Distortion2 breaks through the world\u2019s boundaries to quickly reach endgame areas. The record isn\u2019t listed up on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/speedrun.com\">speedrun.com<\/a> just yet, but should come soon. Speedrunners continue to compete in <em>Elden Ring <\/em>speedruns in all sorts of categories, some using glitches and others not.<\/p>\n<p >Distortion2 avoids combat, and instead dodges enemies or bypasses them completely. It\u2019s an impressive feat that requires a combination of technical skills and research; the streaming speedrunner has put dozens of hours into running the game. To get around quickly, Distortion2 does a lot of falling off clips, sometimes paired with a quick restart of the game. <\/p>\n<p ><em>Elden Ring<\/em> was released in late February, and there\u2019s still plenty more left to find in the game. Who knows what the speedrunning community will come up with next? Distortion2, for one, isn\u2019t stopping here: They think a sub-7 minute run is also possible, and will keep trying for that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/MtP-jIEflS6SXDpsTGmsNB5FuiI=\/0x50:2560&#215;1390\/fit-in\/1200&#215;630\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23357484\/20220331091955_1.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23020552\/elden-ring-speedrun-record-9-minutes<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring speedrunner achieves new record run in under 9 minutes With a game as big as Elden Ring, it\u2019s shocking to hear a person could beat it in under 30 minutes.
