13 minutes is nothing: they complete Elden Ring in just 9, how?

This habit of finishing games on the run is not exclusive to the oldest titles, the retro ones, but it is a practice that attracts those players who, for whatever reason, They see it as a challenge to reach the end of a video game as soon as possible. And it’s clear that Elden Ring It is striking because finishing the story in less than 10 minutes seems like a feat within the reach of a privileged few. Or maybe not?

Less than 9 minutes of game time

Elden Ring It is, surely, one of the most important titles that have arrived in 2022 on the video game scene and that is why it has become the subject of all kinds of challenges by the community. And the speed run are one of them, although in this case the techniques used to carry them out are quite tricky, although we cannot deny that they are carried out with the weapons that the FromSoftware title itself puts in our hands.

An speed run classic consists of catching a Super Mario Bros (for example) and play it on the run without stopping before any enemy. The ultimate goal is to reach the end as soon as possible, beating all established world records. With Elden Ring The same thing has happened but the difficulty marks an extra point of complication that some players have known how to skip so that it ceases to be important.

That’s why in the speed run that you have above you are not going to find a single combat while the protagonist runs terrified through the game’s scenarios, since the idea is to reach the end as quickly as possible. And the seconds that a confrontation against an adversary can take from us are precious when it comes to determining what looks like it will be the world record for some time: 8 minutes and 56 seconds.

Now, not only by avoiding the fights against the enemies we manage to reach the end in less time, but also Elden Ring It has another detail that allows players to travel huge distances with little effort and even jump from very high areas without our hero suffering any damage when falling. It was thanks to this resource that Distortion2 has lowered its previous mark again, placing it below 9 minutes. That is, more than three compared to the 12 invested just a few days ago.

That error is called zip glitch and what it causes is that if we make a specific movement while we block, the animation seems to break shooting our hero around the map to the other end. This allows us to overcome large areas infested with enemies without even getting close to them and, most importantly, reach the end of the game with little effort.

When you take a look at this speed run You will see that there is only one combat in the entire game and that, as you have probably guessed, it belongs to the final enemy of the game. Without defeating him there is no chance to complete Elden Ringhence it is necessary to reach him with a lot of time ahead of him and then finish him off… although again East zip glitch lend us a hand again because it is possible to take final boss under the game stage so that it dies instantly.

It is true that the speed run it uses the tools that the game offers us, even if they are blunders, so we should not invalidate it, or do you think that a record achieved in this way is as legitimate as any other?
