This time, without fighting any of the bosses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distortion2 has been the frontrunner of the <em>Elden Ring<\/em> speedrun scene ever since the game\u2019s launch, so some of you might have heard of him numerous times in the past month. He successfully finished a run in just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IvOba0RHrSg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 minutes and 13 seconds<\/a> only a few days ago, followed by this record-breaking run of 8 minutes and 56 seconds.<\/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-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 Any% Unrestricted Speedrun in 8:56 (WORLDS FIRST SUB 9 MINUTES)\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NTc469QNrBM?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\n\n\n<p>Just like his previous runs, the Zip glitch played a major role in cutting down the time. It allows players to blink through space by performing a sequence of precise, frame-perfect inputs, and speedrunners have been using this technique to skip areas and boss fights. And now, Distortion2 has managed to finish the game without fighting a single boss by fully utilizing the Zip glitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In previous runs, he couldn\u2019t skip Maliketh, The Black Blade, so he had to spend extra time acquiring the items needed to defeat the boss efficiently. But the new route skips Maliketh as well, meaning, Distortion2 could also skip the process of obtaining certain items, resulting in a significant time reduction. Distortion2 commented on the video above that he will \u201ckeep grinding this for sub 7,\u201d so we\u2019ll likely see further developments soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are interested in seeing other recent achievements by Distortion2, check out his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=blt5bA-Mstw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">butt only (Ground Slam\/Golden Slam only) run<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/collections\/GnZlcJjh4RZK-A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rune level 1 run<\/a> (without Spirit Summons).<\/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=\"Can I Beat Elden Ring With ONLY My Butt?\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/blt5bA-Mstw?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\n\n\n<p>As for the other <em>Elden Ring<\/em> speedrun categories, Muftaay currently holds the Any% (Zip Glitch forbidden) record with 26 minutes and 7 seconds, and a Japanese speedrunner named AltF4jp4 holds the record for the Any% No Wrong Warp category with 58 minutes and 28 seconds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedrun.com\/eldenring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speedrun.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring speedrun record is now under 10 minutes.
