Elden Ring Any% Glitchless Speedrun in

Lost 15s cause I forgot to buy the bow cause of the new skip. Still happy to get sub 57. RE4 Remake soon! -- Watch live at / distortion2

[@eaglelord145]

I swear every one of distortions speedruns I’ve watched he spends the whole video going “that was bad” “this is a terrible run” and then it ends up being WR

[@duzypokoj1151]

HEHE YE

[@nickmunz764]

Facts haha, I thought the same bro

[@WarriorofZarona]

Yep, happens a lot in WR runs. It just means there's even more room for improvement which is exciting. All the mistakes could lead to another minute down. Sub 56 next, let's go.

[@slicknick9791]

Just a quick reminder that I spent 57 minutes on just hair color my first play through.

[@wadegardnerwtb]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Gehweggg]

When I played the game first I thought I had to defeat every enemy on the way so I spend like 2 days trying to defeat the troll jumping from the bridge that gets supported by the archers lmao😂

[@ElGuztavoMex]

same 🤣

[@villelepoaho4105]

My personal speedrun record was 120 hours. I'm wondering if I could maybe do a 119 hour run if I quit the game when opening doors?

[@odintheshortsheep]

That will make it 121 hours of your time 119 game time

[@Joeylikeswakkie]

That’s not bad actually bro. Well done. My best time was never.

[@grizzlywhisker]

I never timed myself, but I beat this game 3 times and I think my Steam playtime is around 400 hours lol...

[@by.lli1po804]

Sorry, but I’m only 4h speedrunner😂 but in ng+3 my time is 1,27h

[@SpacialKatana]

I managed 8 hours in Ng+ that's my best lol

[@astrealove2247]

Each time I watch these speedruns it always starts with "This run is a disaster" and ends in "Hey I got the new WR".

[@Yamthief]

All that means is that there's still a little room for the record to be broken.

[@spinloki]

I figured it was an anti-choke strategy. You try to trick yourself into thinking the run sucks when your run is actually amazing so far.

[@Joespart9010]

@@spinlokihe lost 25 secs bro

[@mattROKX]

I know this is an old comment but I feel like this could be a new law of physics, that unless a speedrunner is constantly telling the audience how shitty they think their segments are they can never actually beat their old records 🤔🤔🤔

[@grizzlywhisker]

I think you have to be an OCD perfectionist to even get into serious speedrunning, so most of the top tier speedrunners are probably the type of people who refuse to settle for anything less than absolute perfection. Once they've figured out what the best version of what they're trying to do looks like, anything less appears problematic lol. It seems like a big part of successful speedrunning is being able to improvise when you make a slight mistake or get bad RNG.

[@Poopio]

"This run is bad, I need to warm up" Gets WR.

[@zes7215]

wrgg

[@aroldo7590]

glitchless speedrun almost the same time as your first WR, the way people improve speedruns strats is truly amazing

[@konsumer]

With all the 'mistakes' on this run, he can easily save another minute.

[@duzypokoj1151]

HEHE YE

[@P1Volvo850R]

I haven't been keeping up with souls speedrun after the any% got butchered like OOT but the glitchless is so clean

[@samael4550]

@@P1Volvo850R any% for pretty much every game is kinda boring in general imo. It’s obviously super impressive how people even find out and optimize the strats, but at some point it just becomes way too boring to watch

[@P1Volvo850R]

@Samael OOT was good for about 6 years until they found the warps, there's a lot of good any% still but a lot of games is just code/rng manip or skips that aren't even fun to watch

[@xSharpW]

I ain't gonna lie I prefer the glitchless speedrun compared to the any% where that whole zipping thing is useable. Not that zipping doesn't require skill (it requires heavy patience and stuff I am aware) but I just like it a lot more when the runners have to play the game as intended to the best of their abilities rather than being able to just "zip" right through the final bosses and stuff. Very cool run !!

I was there and saw it live. Still a thrill! Congrats again Dist!!

1st try back from break! Well deserved Dist!

[@Mysterious.Entity]

This is awesome it's nice to see you make such a refined run.

[@frantisekfojt8688]

Nothing warms you up like a fresh wr

Now that it's a year later I'm watching Dist's first playthrough and it's hilarious in hindsight, and it'll be even more fun to watch him do a crazy optimized speedrun once I'm done.

In every Dist stream whenever there is some kind of massive troll on the part of the game happens, it is dubbed "The [X] Incident" for instance, "The Parry Incident" is from one of his streams when he got BTFO by the Carian Knight before Red Wolf. What are all the _incidents_ and can we get a compilation?

[@kenneththomason583]

Great video. Forgive me if this is a dumb question for I am new to the speedrun. But why do you quit and restart during the game? What purpose does it serve? I genuinely don’t know. Thanks

[@nicporcelli]

There’s a couple reasons. First off, opening doors can be slightly faster if you save quit mid animation. Those fractions of a second saved start to add up to many seconds saved by the end of the run. The other reason is to reset the aggregation of enemies so that they don’t attack him while he’s doing jumps and such.

I’m an avid Elden Ring speedrunner. Not to toot my own horn but my PB is 101 hours, 57 minutes, and 28 seconds. With some optimization I think I can cut it down to around 101 hours, 57 minutes and 27 minutes.
