After seeing their main tool updated, Elden Ring speedrunners have found new ways to get through the game in minimal time. All categories are represented, even newly created ones, and it seems that players are outdoing themselves day by day. One would even wonder where they will stop. Tour of the most surprising records on Elden Ring.
All memories
One of the most spectacular speedrun categories remains "All remembrances" which consists, as its name suggests, of recovering all the memories of the game and then finishing it in a minimum of time.
Of course, the glitches are still used, but speedrunners had to do without some of them as well as Freezing Stomp after the game's penultimate update. Indeed, the ashes of war, widely used by the players because very effective, has seen its damage reduced and its casting time increased.
For now, and according to the site speedrun.com , the record set in this category is 1:53:02 . Because yes, every second counts! It was established by Siegbruh , a speedrunner exclusively on Elden Ring.
Distortion2 , the player who has performed the most speedruns so far and author of the first "Any%" speedrun under 30 minutes, also tried the experiment but unfortunately did not break the record, in 2:16 :10.
Any%
This category is surely the most common in the field of speedrunning. In this one, players have the sole purpose of getting from the start of the game to the end of the game, and absolutely all moves are allowed . Glitches, backups, ashes of cheated wars... Everything is good to get the record.
The speedrun record holder in the "Any%" category of the speedrun.com site is, for now, Mitchriz with 23 minutes and 37 seconds . He is closely followed by Hazelblade , who was the first to go under the 25-minute mark, clocking in at 24 minutes and 37 seconds .
However, Distortion2 performed an "Any%" speedrun just a day ago in 22 minutes and 21 seconds . For some unknown reason, the player's performances are not listed on the site listing Elden Ring speedruns around the world. Perhaps simply because he did not ask to be included. Speedrunners must submit their own run for it to appear in the speedrun.com rankings.
In any case, the current speedrun records on Elden Ring will soon be broken. What will be the limit to their speed? We will probably find out soon...
