, the widely accepted authority on video game speedrunning, has decided to keep the leaderboards for Elden Ring closed until March 18th. It’s important to note that while these “world records” are extraordinarily impressive, they are, technically, not official. The Godskin Duo fight also causes problems because those enemies occasionally hit him through objects and one-shot him. His progression to sub-30 minutes does feature some of the same pitfalls as Aggy, in that he will occasionally get got by a random enemy he’s running by. In addition to Hoarfrost Stomp, Distortion2 also uses the Royal Knight’s Resolve Ash of War, which massively increases the damage of a player’s next hit, giving him an extra (and notably faster) edge in combat. They both start with the samurai class and run almost immediately to Liurnia to pick up the Raya Lucaria Academy key and the Icerind Hatchet, but overall his strategies differ a bit from Aggy’s.
His runs feature a lot of the same elements as Aggy. His YouTube channel features a rapid, almost daily succession of shorter and shorter Elden Ring speedruns: from 49:29, to 37:15, 36:20, 33:55, and finally, 28:59. Like Aggy, he’s appeared at GDQs and holds several records and top 10 spots in FromSoftware games. It was a world record that stood for a few scant hours before another runner beat him by 10 minutes.ĭistortion2 is another popular speedrunner in the Souls community. After a couple of unfortunate deaths against the Godskin Duo and Maliketh, The Black Blade, Lil Aggy posted a run of 59:38. “The general strategy right now is mostly just abusing a very overpowered Ash of War called Hoarfrost Stomp”įrom there, Aggy’s run was a matter of abusing the save and quit feature to deactivate boss AI, spamming Hoarfrost Stomp against bosses he couldn’t glitch, and hoping no stray enemy one-shots him with a lucky hit. It covers the ground with ice spikes that explode, stunning and damaging enemies. Hoarfrost Stomp is an ability found in Caria Manor (y’know, that lovely place where all the finger spiders are!) and is the weapon skill of the Icerind Hatchet. “The general strategy right now is mostly just abusing a very overpowered Ash of War called Hoarfrost Stomp to steamroll the bosses as a relatively low level character,” he said. There, they can access the boss fights required to complete the game in the same time it takes regular players to acquire Torrent.īut there’s an extremely wide and deadly gulf between accessing the final few bosses and defeating them when you’re a fresh-faced Tarnished.
To achieve this unfathomably short time, runners are tricking the game via the sites of grace to teleport them to Crumbling Farum Azula, a late-game dungeon. “The main glitch in the run right now is something called wrong warping,” he explained to The Verge.
