It takes an incredible amount of practice and group effort figuring things out to make it possible and then it's a ridiculous grind for one person to actually get a run this good. Obviously it's not for everyone but it's interesting to see what limits a game can be pushed to using only what the game has to offer.

Wife thought I was watching uncut gems. The way he sounded.

[@AlphaSeagull]

Asmon, if you want some explanation on those damage numbers I can explain what all happened for him to melt bosses that quick First thing, level 1 is actually totally viable, because a vast majority of damage comes from the level of your WEAPON, not your own level. Anyone with a +10 weapon will deal more damage than anyone at RL700 without weapon upgrades. In fact, damage scaling is so low in this game I would argue it's basically useless to invest in offensive stats until you already have 60VGR. The Icerine hatchet's Hoarfrost Stomp skill had the overall highest DPS of any skill in the game (nerfed in 1.03) which is pretty nutty by itself, but the trick to it's damage doesn't end there The other weapon he was using was a Godskin Stitcher with an Ash of War called Royal Knight's Resolve, which gives an 80% damage buff to your weapon until you attack with it (or lasts 8s). However, prior to 1.03 it was bugged to actually increase ALL your damage by 80%, not just that weapon, yet the buff still didn't go away when you attacked with a different weapon, making it by far the strongest single buff in the game, so that 80% buff was also applying to Hoarfrost Stomp the entire time through Maliketh and the final boss. Now this ash of war can be applied to any weapon, but the reason for Stitcher in particular is because in the run, you don't match the requirements to use it, which for some reason doesn't stop Royal Knight's Resolve from activating but it DOES make it cost no FP to use, so he actually saves a bit of FP using it this way So basically, he had a maxed out weapon dealing the highest DPS that was then boosted by an additional 80%, which is why the bosses died that fast. Though both of these skills were fixed after 1.03, there's still something important to learn here. Your build itself (the weapon, it's upgrades, your buffs, etc) will always ALWAYS be much more important than your level alone, and this lesson applies to EVERY build in the game

[@randy1savage]

[@chrisroberts3810]

The greatest boss he was fighting in this speed run was the clock, losing requires him to not beat the fastest speed run time.

[@nathaeladalyah9681]

Usually speedrunning has multiple categories. The three most prominent are: Unrestricted, which means that any glitch or skip works, so long as you beat the game. Standard Glitchless, which means that you can use skips, but not glitches. The only thing required is that you beat the typical required Bosses without using glitches. Standard All Bosses, where you have to fight all of the major bosses, whether they are mandatory or not. Depending on the game, this could also be split into Unrestricted and Glitchless.

Glitch exploitation has literally always been a part of speedrunning...people who disparage it genuinely don't understand what speedrunning is about. Dist is a legend.

[@Spiritchuckpvp]

It doesn't help that the "Souls" community and the speedrunning community don't mesh well either. Lots of souls players carry this ridiculous notion that you have to do everything in the most difficult way possible for anything to be "impressive", i.e slamming your face into a wall with nothing but a big sword for hours on end. That's why mage players are generally looked down upon by "souls" players, even though it's something that's literally put in the game for you to use. It's just toxicity, they don't see the hours upon hours of routing, practicing, and blood sweat and tears that Dist has put into being the best.

[@klefthoofrobert787]

Yeah but in a game where the difficulty lies with beating bosses, is a small reason why ppl won't respect glitching and zipping, and i kinda agree :) Speedrunning should be the art of finishing the game as quick as you can, without glitching the game(doing it as intended with whatever the game has) just find normal routes and do it quick, use what build you want i don't care, but not fighting anything and then glitching some bosses to not even move..i mean, you gotta be a specific type of person to like that shit, and there's not many of them :) Which is also why no hitters get respect in these games and speedrunners don't, because they are avoiding to play the harder parts of the game, i very well aware how difficult it is to do the glitches and exploits, but at the same time, it's really not enjoyable to watch like more than one time outta curiosity, personally i find it 10 times more difficult doing a no hit run (all remembrances) than doing a speed run of all remembarance or especially any% But hey! whatever everyone enjoys, not judging, my personal opinion is that speedrunners are overrated.

[@vilopesful]

@@klefthoofrobert787 Any% is literally the most popular catergory for all games for a reason my dude, people like to see how much can you break the game to finish it as fast as humanly possible While not as popular, there's always the glitchless runs if that's what you like, you can always search for it, as most games have it.

[@klefthoofrobert787]

@@vilopesful Well from the ppl complaining i'd say it's not as popular as you might think at least in Soulsborne where the actual "Hard" goal is to not get hit and finish the games, not do everything you can to avoid doing the hard parts of the game and glitch everything. As i said, i'm certain any% is popular with other games, but it leaves a sour taste because these games revolve around beating difficult bosses and/or areas, not skipping them or freezing the boss while spamming hoarfrost stomp :P but that's just my opinion. I personally enjoyed distortion's all remembrances speed run a WHOLE LOT more than i do any% runs :) i know they have less views, but you are comparing an almost 2 hour video with a 20min one, ofcourse the 20min one is gonna be easier to watch and not so time consuming, but that doesn't mean it's less popular. Again, i'm not being a hater on speedrunners, or distortion, or the community, i'm just trying to explain why ppl are not very impressed with his work in a Souls game, it's because of the game, not the speedrunner, i like watching speedrunners in other games(Skyrim, Diablo, Baldur's gate among others) , but Souls, not so much :P unless they do glitchless and don't freeze bosses (or fight them outside their arena)

There’s really only one thing that came to my mind with the bell and magic swords spam killing all the bosses. That one scene from Monty Python holy grail. DING! Bring out the dead! This really made me laugh, killing every boss in the game by ringing a dang bell, freaking golden, man.

[@LargeIcedMrBs]

how are people still complaining about exploits in speedruns? do your homework before saying 'InvAliD RuN"

[@F1rstNameLastName]

It seems like nobody has ever heard of Any% speedruns or literally any of the dozens of other speedrun categories aside from a normal playthrough speedrun

[@reeferrick2635]

Pepega chatter - "Every glitch has already been discovered by someone else, 0% originality to this run." Yes because beating the game the way it was designed to be beaten is so much more original dude

[@yazee1852]

this should be pinned comment haha, thanks for good laugh

[@MrBonebus]

lol the volcano manor shortcut was my fav from my playthrough, patches tells you about it

[@dylanschmeichel2008]

I love these games so much, I hope they're always this broken. Block using your weapon near a rock? Oh game freaks out for no apparent reason and you get skyrocketed. At least the farum azula glitch kind of makes sense though, like you're in the area but he makes the game register that he just got there Im assuming so it just puts him in the starting part after Fire Giant.

[@xXxPhil03xXx]

any% means that it doesn't matter how many bosses you killed or how much of the content of the game you completed. the only goal is to get to the end of the game. It does not mean that you can use glitches tho. There is any% runs with glitches and there is any% glitchless runs. I thought asmon didn't explain this very well in his video. so I hope this makes more sense :)

[@LuisMartinez-rs3jj]

Fucking love his facial expression’s!!!! Priceless, makes me laugh all the time!!!

[@BeatdownGG]

To all the Andy's in his chat talking about distortions skill, he could do this barebones glitchless and still slap all your effort. Dude is a God.

[@effay9]

It’s crazy to see all of those comments considering even without glitches Dist could beat the game, go into NG+ and beat the game again before anyone in chat could even get past Radahn

[@albusnightspring8057]

"A neckbeard"

[@oats2949]

He should watch zerolennys latest video. He beat elden ring torch only

[@OhImSaucy]

Those are far more impressive because they actually have to play the game and not skip all of it….

[@Vakator-29]

Yeah I agree but atleast when it comes to speedruns there are different sections.

[@annoy4nce648]

I'm not usually a big fan of any% speedruns, but this one was pretty good. Any% No Major Glitches is generally a much more entertaining category though.

[@tommyfanzfloppydisk]

when this guy says " Elden ring is all about magic " he's not talking about being a caster

[@idValkyrie]

It's always funny seeing people that's doesn't know anything about 'speedrunning' in chat. and yes speedrunning any% means any means necessary without hacking or 3rd party exploits, of course, I wonder why those kids see his video without even knowing what speedrunning Is, smh. Anyway, no matter how many times I see zip tricks it always amazes me.

[@saeedatenzi]

When you try it and you camera is off a hbit😵 welp, there goes the run...

[@OfficiallyMaidenless]

Oh my god dude yes, I recognised that "I'm gonna fall asleep in 5 seconds" bro this run is the stuff of ACTUAL legends. I'm mad keen to see how much it can be shaved down by the speedrun community

[@MTGC888]

I see some of the dumb people in chat that saying this should not count because of the glitch. Its a freaking any% speed run so anything is fair game with glitches.

[@deltaoalice9281]

The zip glitch technically disqualifies it from the pure Any% run. But it is allowed in their "Any% unrestricted" leaderboard which the speedrun now resides in, probably because the advance in this tech makes it deserve its own category.

[@shinkamui]

@@deltaoalice9281 glitchless/ glitch categories have always existed, its nothing new

[@zannothefox]

@@shinkamui it's more that zip is hardware dependant and this not available to all runners so they separated it from the normal category.

[@shinkamui]

@@zannothefox ah i see, i didnt know that

[@theobvu]

asmogold chat always been stupid

[@justdudu89]

Dude sat more in loading screens than playing the game.

[@nathaeladalyah9681]

To be fair, I did the same exact thing to Renalla with a Claymore in my right hand and an Uchigatana in my left hand. I would Bloodhound Step to gap close, then use the katana to gain a small stagger, followed up by the full Claymore rotation. Renalla falls quick once you get on top of her.

[@yurilopes420]

smart man, idk why I never fucking used different weapons in each hand

[@cameronharvey4746]

"Not a valid speed run" - someone who has never watched a speedrun and has no clue whats going on.

[@joxler514]

"elden ring needs a easy mode"...meanwhile speedrunners...

[@Darthrath666]

*DING DING*

[@Dwarven_Steel_Games]

While "cool" I guess, this isn't actually beating the game.

[@FullMetalcoreJojo]

You know the falling comet after Rahdan? That was this legends entire Elden Ring run.

[@TheMeanAdmin]

35:32 Boss: repeats a pattern Speed runner: Again?! *Ding ding*

[@bananarama4925]

Watching the chat is so cringe

[@SgtHeartmann.]

The best moment is when Asmongold understand that it’s teleport time. “What’s this weird shit?Oh no…” LMAO

[@Bak3dGamingYT]

The fact zips exist is mental. The person that found that had to of shat himself when it happened lmfao

[@killer114188t]

Can't wait for the channel that animated the Breath of the Wild speedrun to do Elden Ring

[@alansmithee419]

2:00 "Torrent; treat him." Torrent's a good boi.

[@mallaothman]

Can't stop laughing xD 22:45 Ding Ding

[@brianmclain1955]

Menus in speedruns are so crazy. It's like first you uninstall the game then you factory reset your computer. Then re-download the game and roll credits.

[@Knightdale]

13:20 Its an Abductor Virgin that teleports you to Volcano Manor, it only works if it ''eats'' you.

[@nickspencer9018]

When he went inside the virgin I died laughing "how could he not know that takes you to volcano manor lol patches tells you!"

[@androski5247]

I was so excited to see the speedrun for this game, since so much of the game can already be skipped organically, how much more can you skip in a speedrun?

[@johantromp9352]

The best discription of ANY% is: If it's in the game, it's alowed. If you are able, through gameplay, to alter game files. without leaving the game. it's alowed because it's in the game. Many wrong warps are done that way by manipulating the RAM it's not a bug it's a feature

[@risingogre8118]

These games have always had weird mechanics you find during speed run vids. Dark Souls 1 you can roll off the cliff once you get to the main camp and land at the final boss.

[@JiangXina]

So basically this guy beat the entire game and still got time to refund the game.

[@saphironkindris]

*Approaches ledge while blocking menacingly*

[@MassiveGhost-]

I don’t even want to finish Elden ring anymore now Ding Ding

[@MinecraftAOE]

I'll be honest there's one giant + in my book for watching people who speed run using any means, it avoids spoiling most of the content

[@nitro10155]

Asmond says "WHAT THE FUCK" at the end right as the speed runner says "WHAT THE FUCK" 😂😂👍 Great video and great run.

[@Kobain0]

Round about eight minutes in Enemy jumps out from behind a pillar Asmongold: Yep that’s the guy that attacks (mind you in my head I’m thinking what else is it meant to do) But also he came out that pillar like Chris Hansen on steroids. I was half expecting him to say take a seat lmfao

[@marksayosmejia7251]

He's so gud, he beat world record, came, parried distance, and took all the maidens.

[@dragonflylikasa9277]

Lol this is funny I did this game 18 hours without me noticing I was doing the main quest when I was just having fun exploring

[@biggreen1440]

Developer "here are 60+ hours of great open world experience", speedrunner "10 minutes, take it or leave it"

[@mcgeiler3915]

my man Distortion even cancelled his flight because he knew he was going to hit this one. He could just feel it in his bones, absolutely insane guy

[@streamer_services]

Okay I've seen just about every speed run in this game and this is the first time I've seen this one but how in the hell did this guy figure all this crazy glitch shit out that's just insane to me

[@Venox_MK8]

Yesterday someone literally did a sub 13 minute run, that shit was crazy^^

[@reymondwolfe]

He killed Maliketh then zipped to the throne where the thorns were already burnt without killing Hoarah Loux, the Fire Giant or setting the Erdtree ablaze .. YEAH, OK.

[@kshyarshyusuf446]

The utter shock and disbelief when he saw the godskin fight🤣
