via FromSoftware The Elden Ring has really flooded the gaming world since its release in February. Selling 12 million copies in the first three weeks, there’s a reason you feel like everyone on your Twitter timeline is talking about it. Millions of people are exploring The Lands Between, and for some of these players, just playing the game as FromSoftware intended and being beaten by bosses over and over again is not good enough. Enter the wild world of Elden Ring Speedrunning and things get out of hand in a very short time. Distortion2 beats the pace almost all the time, shaving precious seconds from its own world record every time it is broken. This happened again today, shortly after the publication of the first series in less than 13 minutes.

Setting a new record of eight minutes and 56 seconds, the streamer continues to shave entire minutes of its time, not just precious seconds. Distortion2 is not done yet. They firmly believe that they can quickly go through the whole story of The Lands Between in less than seven minutes. Given the incredible work they have done so far, it is hard to imagine challenging them. One of the key tools available to Elden Ring Speedrunners right now is something called a zipper error. A player must move in a certain way while blocking. It should be a perfect action for the frame, but if pinned, they will be able to zip the map, hence the name of the error. This obviously allows them to actually avoid playing for most of the game, bypassing almost all of their bosses. If you’ve come across these streams to see more of the Elden Ring, well, you’ve come to the wrong place. Chances are that many people who play Elden Ring still face some of the most difficult areas and bosses in the game. Meanwhile, there is a dedicated community that runs it in ten minutes and hits the bosses with a banana-made controller. Players have also discovered a way to walk on the lava in the Volcano Manor, although no one seems entirely sure what you need to have implemented and equipped to make it work.
