As you know, Elden Ring is a great success for From Software. The title has obviously reached a whole new audience, and speedrunners are already having a blast in many categories. New world records keep being set, and it happened again on the weekend of April 16.
At present, there are several categories of speedrun for Elden Ring. There is obviously the Any% category, which consists of using all the means provided by the title to complete the game as quickly as possible, but there is also l’Any% Unrestrictedwhich allows players to use the many loopholes game to save lots and lots of time.

On PC, the Any% world record has been held for a few days by Muftaay in 26 minutes and three seconds (WrongWrap route), while on console, the record of 35 minutes 51 seconds is held by Duclier. But the category that interests us today is Unrestricted, where the zip technique, which exploits the faults of the game what makes it possible to move on enormous distances, is queen. Quite spectacular despite the absence of combat, this category was recently dominated by speedrunner Distortion2who continued to improve his times for go under the 7 minute mark (6:59) late last week.
But despite his determination and his great talent, the American players had to bow this weekend ahead of the French runner Seeker who set a brand new world record for the category. His time ? 6 minutes and 46 seconds, an improvement of 13 seconds over the previous record. For now, Seeker and Distortion2 are the only two players to go below 9 minutes in Any% Unrestricted. The third fastest time submitted to Speedrun.com is 9 minutes and 31 seconds (by Ginz, another French runner, followed by American Mitchriz (9:40) and HYP3RSOMNIAC (12:20) .
The Sub 7 struggle is finally coming to an end! After missing sub 7 by two seconds, I had another run with an insane early/middle game that got me the record, even though I missed the end of the run a bit 😀 ! I still want to work on this category and go under 6:30, Seeker said on his Youtube channel.
The other categories are also very competitive
Remember that on April 13, the player Star0chris set an impressive world record in the Any% Glitchless categoryi.e. an attempt that don’t use bugs of the game. With good preparation and careful study of the best route to take, he set a time 1 hour, 18 minutes and 50 seconds, while considering that going below the hour mark is quite achievable. Obviously, the times in the Any% Unrestricted category can also be improved. It remains to be seen how far the players will be able to go. But this may take years, for it is indeed not uncommon for new routes and techniques to be discoveredsignificantly improving the lap times.
