Manage cookie settings ORIGINAL STORY 11:00am UK: Another day, another Elden Ring speedrun record. Last week we reported that the game had been completed in two and a half hours, then under an hour, and then under 50 minutes. Now Distortion2 - responsible for that last time - has finished the game in just 33 minutes. Watch on YouTube So how is it done? Firstly, Distortion2 has learned some impressive routes around the map on Torrent, the horse, making use of double jumps to swiftly circumvent areas. Then he uses a speedrun technique called wrong warping where he forces the game to reload and warp his character to a different place on the map, essentially skipping most of the game. The samurai also seems to be the speedrunner's class of choice, largely as the starting Uchigatana weapon causes blood loss - handy against bosses. With the popularity of the game, it probably won't be long until this time is beaten once again. Speedruns are coming in thick and fast - speedrun.com hasn't even listed any Elden Ring times yet. Perhaps even harder than speedrunning the game is dealing with the endless discourse, something Nathan Brown wrote about and published on Eurogamer.
