<\/strong>The Elden Ring<\/strong><\/em> speedrunning record went under an hour just the other day (related article<\/a>), but speedrunner Distortion2 has already managed to cut that time down to under 40 minutes in the any% Wrong Warp category. The record (37 minutes and 15 seconds IGT) was set during Distortion2\u2019s Twitch<\/a> stream. The Elden Ring<\/em> category on the speedrunning aggregate site speedrun.com won\u2019t open until March 18, so we can\u2019t be certain, but this is likely the fastest run as of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most people, Elden Ring<\/em> takes at least 50 hours to beat during a normal playthrough. How can you trim that down to 40 minutes then? The key is the Wrong Warp glitch that allows you to teleport to a location you shouldn\u2019t be able to warp to. Dark Souls Remastered<\/em> has a glitch of the same name, which is quite difficult to reproduce. Elden Ring<\/em>\u2019s Wrong Warp glitch has the same premise but is much easier to execute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Elden Ring<\/em>, if your character is standing on an unstable location when the save file is loaded, the character will spawn back to the starting position in the area. Using this technique, along with Teleporters and the fast travel feature, will allow you to skip content and reach a late-game stage. In fact, you can use the Wrong Warp glitch to reach Farum Azula without defeating a single boss.
