MMOexp: We've witnessed a handful of Elden Ring speedruns already,

We've witnessed a handful of Elden Ring speedruns already, where people have been winning the game without losing a single moment in Lands Between, among Elden Ring Runes other challenges. However, a person who has set records in the world for running the latest Souls-like from FromSoftware in the fastest possible time has returned with a brand new record-breaking score.

YouTuber and well-known Souls speedrunner Distortion2 shared a video of their record-breaking completion speed of just 18 mins and 57 secs. It's insane! In the latest game, Distortion2 employed an exploit that is game-breaking called "The Zip,"" that teleports your Tarnished around the map, allowing you to bypass entire segments in the gameplay. Based on various posts from the internet from Reddit to YouTube it's difficult to pinpoint the exact timing of the glitch. In order to perform The Zip, you're supposed to be vigilant and move forward at specific times which makes it difficult to master at any rate. There are supposedly automatic hot keys that you can utilize to make The Zip a bit more simple, however they appear to be only for PC users.

Apart from frequently making usage of The Zip exploit--like employing it to jump from the first Site of Grace to Stormhill's Stormgate within two or three seconds, the rest of the course is pretty well-known to those who have experienced Elden Ring or watched any of the numerous insane speedruns. Distortion2 zips through Stormhill's Stormgate Site of Grace, in which Melina offers you Torrent and then to Liurnia of the Lakes to get a few things such as The Icerind Hatchet for the nerfed Hoarfrost Stomp weapon , while disregarding almost all enemies they came into contact with, and sparingly using each of The Wrong Warp and Zip glitches to navigate in the Lands Between. Distortion2 also utilized an airborne Torrent exploit to swiftly reach the Academy of Raya Lucaria, that is frequently regarded as a way to get access to buy Elden Ring Runes the Volcano Manor.
