It took just over a week for someone to speedrun Elden Ring. But the race to the fastest time was only just beginning.\n<\/p>\n
The first recorded speedrun clocked in at just under two and a half hours. Two days later the game was completed in under an hour. No sooner had one time been recorded, it was beaten. By April, it had been finished in under ten minutes.\n<\/p>\n
Speedrunning a game like Elden Ring, with its gloriously dismal open world, has never really appealed to me. I am a diligent player. Rather than rush, I like to savor every grim discovery, every horrifying enemy. I set up my own rules, finishing each area of \u200b\u200bthe map before moving on; not entering the sickly pungent Caelid until every dusty nook and cranny of the Raya Lucaria Academy had been explored.\n<\/p>\n
That’s why my first playthrough took over 110 hours.\n<\/p>\n
