Speedrunner Distortion2 has broken his own Elden Ring<\/strong><\/em> speedrun record yet again, finishing the game in just 28 minutes and 59 seconds (in-game time) in the any% Wrong Warp category. He broke the 40 minutes mark<\/a> just a few days ago on March 11, and now the record time is much shorter thanks to a new route in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elden Ring<\/em> takes dozens of hours to finish during a normal playthrough, but Distortion2, who also holds stellar speedrun records in other FromSoftware titles, managed to finish the game in just half an hour. His speedrun attempts center around using a glitch called Wrong Warp, which allows players to teleport to a location they shouldn\u2019t be able to warp to. This technique is used to skip content and reach a late-game stage, the main area of Farum Azula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In previous speedrun attempts, Distortion2 first had to unlock a fast travel point that meets the necessary condition to pull off the Wrong Warp glitch. However, his latest run skips the whole glitch preparation process and replaces it with a much faster method to create the same condition. Distortion2 still makes detours to collect items such as the Ash of War: Royal Knight\u2019s Resolve and the Icerind Hatchet, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
