Fans of fast racing video games (speed run) never thought they would see a whirlwind tourElden Ring, deemed difficult, after the publisher fixed bugs that allowed sprinter Distortion2 to complete the game in less than 29 minutes. But now the player has found a new breach to exploit in order to succeed in the game of the Dark Soul series faster.
The bug exploited in this instance eliminates all combat and movement, leading to one of the last enemies to be defeated at Stormveil Castle. Distortion2 first changes the game’s graphics settings to the lowest level, then sets the metronome to 109 beats per minute, while pointing, in a locked position, in the direction it wants to go, allowing fast travel its.
Distortion2 manages to succeed under the 10 minute mark, with a time of 6 minutes and 59 seconds, which it is still trying to improve on.
So he became the world champion in the category without restrictions in terms of game completion percentage.
The bug-averse editor
In March, several sprinters and video sprinters tried to compete for world records in racing against the clock for the game. Elden Ring. All sorts of tactics and bugs allow them, for example, to teleport from the first minutes of the game to the last dungeon, or use a very powerful weapon like the Hoarfrost Stomp.
However, the game’s publisher, FromSoftware, was not joking about taking advantage of these violations, and quickly applied patches at the end of March to rectify the situation. The Hoarfrost Stomp weapon is noticeably removed from the game.
It only remains to be seen if the publisher will correct this new violation.
The latest installment in the Dark Souls series of games, which has a reputation for being particularly challenging, has been receiving critical acclaim since its launch on February 25th.
