Elden Ring: Speedrun World Record Guide 2022

This speed run was accomplished by Distortion2, who just broke the 30-minute barrier with a pace of 28:59.

This is an any-percent speedrun, which means that any flaws or vulnerabilities the user discovers and exploits are fair game, and several are used to speed up the run.

The basic order of events that Distortion2 addresses are as follows:

Belfry Grace
Farum Azula Run
Volcano Warp
Godskin Nobel
+9 Upgrade
Maliketh
Gideon
Godfrey Skip
Elden’s Star

Their approach is rather fascinating and avoids many of the game’s major bosses.

However, this is a speedrun, and one of the primary ways Distortion employs is the Ash of War, Hoarfrost Stomp, which has been dubbed one of the finest in Elden Ring.

We’re certain that we’ll see several other speedruns in the following days, so make sure to come back frequently to this page, as further speedrun masterpieces are certain to occur.

While niko’s accomplishment is unquestionably amazing, numerous more speedrunners set out to break it. Someone did it in a couple of hours.

Why are Souls games so well-suited for speedrunners?

Due to the vast number of pathways and possibilities available in Souls games, speedrunners like them. FromSoftware’s games are densely packed with shortcuts and secrets that are great for speedrunning. People who know the geography and structure of these games will know that there are ways to skip important parts and get to the endgame material early.

This is why speedrunners focus on Souls games and compete to complete them in the shortest amount of time feasible. Even the original Demon’s Souls on the PlayStation 3 was a haven for speedrunners. Dark Souls, the game’s sequel, was also a favorite for speedrunners. The world record was set at 21 minutes and 17 seconds.

Bloodborne’s record stands at 21 minutes and 15 seconds. Elden Ring is a significantly larger game than anything else FromSoftware has released, but we’re sure speedrunners will have much more to show us before they’re finished.
