Two weeks have passed since he <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220314-10524\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">broke the 30 minutes mark<\/a>, and now the game\u2019s Any% Unrestricted category has entered new territory with his latest achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please be aware that this article contains spoilers and gameplay footage of Elden Ring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WORLDS FIRST Any% Elden Ring in under 20 minutes!! Changed a flight and did a 15h stream for this, almost gave up hope, but in the end I prevailed. Thank you everyone who was there and supported me during this insane stream &lt;3 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I32a4BzA9q\">pic.twitter.com\/I32a4BzA9q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Distortion2 (@Distortion_2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Distortion_2\/status\/1508319485387845632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Distortion2\u2019s speedrun attempts center around the Wrong Warp glitch that uses the game\u2019s Teleporters and the fast travel feature to teleport to a location you shouldn\u2019t be able to warp to, and a recently found glitch called Zip Glitch that basically allows you to blink through space. He was using the old Ver.1.02.3, a build before the Hoarfrost Stomp skill got nerfed and a bug related to the Royal Knight\u2019s Resolve skill was fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from Distortion2\u2019s clip on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/1439075016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch<\/a>, he used the Zip Glitch right after reaching Limgrave, zapping through space to reach Stormhill in a matter of seconds. He continued his journey by pretty much skipping all the locations where it previously required a bit of time to traverse through. The glitch isn\u2019t easy to pull off, so we can hear him making screaming sounds from time to time. Distortion2 managed to complete the run after 15 hours of trial and error, and it\u2019s quite gratifying to hear his scream of joy at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a side note, the Zip Glitch can only be used in the Any% Unrestricted category on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedrun.com\/eldenring#Any_Unrestricted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speedrun.com<\/a> since the reproductivity varies depending on each player\u2019s PC environment. And since Distortion2\u2019s time is not recorded on the website as of this writing, the current record holder remains to be Mitchriz, who some of you might know as the record holder of the blindfolded <em>Sekiro<\/em> speedrun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current record for the Any% category (Zip Glitch forbidden) is 26 minutes and 26 seconds by spicee, using the old Ver.1.02.3. The current record for the All Remembrances category that requires speedrunners to beat all major story bosses, is under 2 hours using the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220324-10807\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pegasus Glitch<\/a>. The record holder is Distortion2 with 108 minutes and 6 seconds. The runner-up Siegbruh is currently trying to beat the record, so we might see further development soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elden Ring All Remembrances Speedrun in 1:48:06\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hv5Uy8TIntU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speedrunner Distortion2 has broken the Elden Ring speedrun record yet again, finishing the game in just 18 minutes and 57 seconds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":10899,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[56,18],"class_list":["post-10895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-elden-ring","tag-global-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
