[@distortion2]

This time I'm going to give a thorough explanation of what is going on in this category as this run was insane. To start off, this run is done on CURRENT Patch as we believe it has more stability, and this falls into the UNRESTRICTED Any% category on www.speedrun.com/eldenring This category allows ALL use of glitches and the ability to ALT+F4 the game to achieve the Wrong Warp. This allows us to enter Farum Azula and is why you see the game close during that segment. The zip glitch further explained below is also extremely hardware dependent and requires a stable 60 fps as well as stable frametimes. I also decided to use a keyboard mouse cam to further show legitimacy, and I switch to controller mainly for movement as that is what I mainly play the game with. The timer also pauses as we use in-game time, which only continues when you are loaded into the game. We check the load screen at the end for the final time. The run has pretty much come down to a test of a runners patience, nerves and the ability to perform 13 FRAME PERFECT glitches known as "The Zip". This zip glitch allows us to teleport a wide range of distances using a combination of blocking, holding walk, and pressing W to move forward with a combination of 139 frames. If the two actions add up to 139, you teleport, and this distance can vary depending on the combination. The longer you hold W, the further you go. Some zips are so precise, that you need the walk and block duration to line up perfectly, which makes them double frame perfect :) I'm not even done yet, as we also have a newfound discovery which is the reason why we no longer have to fight bosses. This is thanks to speedrunner SeekerTV, and it is known as the "Megazip". This is done by performing a normal zip, and pressing W to walk forward again within a 12-14 frame window after the initial zip. This nearly quadruples your momentum launching you significantly further. We can use this megazip to kill Maliketh as well as Elden Beast. We don't fully understand what is going on behind the scenes, but we believe that by going far enough away from a boss arena, the platforms deload and the bosses begin to fall to their demise. In normal circumstances, we wouldn't be able to use this as our character would normally die before the boss does. This is due to the inherent fall timer in Elden Ring which will kill you after roughly 13 seconds of falling. However, by doing a mid-air attack we can actually reset this timer allowing us to fall even longer than the normal 13 seconds. This buys us just enough time to fall for long enough where the boss will die before us. Maliketh "Megazip" requires extremely specific positioning and angles as to have your character get "zipped" high enough where you can fall for roughly 8 seconds before attacking. If you launch too high, the game wont let you attack. If you launch too low, you will die before the boss does. You also have to deal with performing a frame perfect glitch under high pressure with an angry Maliketh trying to kill you :) The Elden Beast "Megazip" is a bit easier as we start as the Vagabond class, which has enough starting equipment that we can reach "Heavy Equip Load". (We also use this for the second zip of the run). This heavy equip load causes zips to go roughly 8% further and allows us to get just enough distance enabling us to more consistently to kill Hoarah Loux. It is a blessing that he has a cutscene, as when his first phase dies, it teleports us saving us from very imminent death. Elden Beast takes a bit longer to fall for whatever reason, and lucky for us the timing lines up perfectly where we can get piledrived by Hoarah Loux and receive the "God Slain" message indicating Elden Beast is dead right as the screen fades to black. The final boss is now dead and we are teleported to the final platform where we can beat the game. Radagon gets to survive, as the only trigger check for being able to activate the Statue is whether or not Elden Beast is dead. Hope this explanation helps and thank you for watching!

@@Spo8 seems like by zipping away far enough from the boss arena causes platforms to deload, putting the boss in a falling state until it eventually dies (i believe anything falling for too long is automatically killed as a way to prevent softlocks).

[@franklinolano9573]

he tried with macros before, the only possible perfect run is 6:30 with this route.

[@lumina1re329]

@@franklinolano9573 with macros was just a test, and it wasn't exactly this route. He had around 25 failed zips, obviously this means that under perfect conditions this route can be a minute faster. It's a question of much grinding a runner wanna do, and I think getting 6:59 with the time he invested is already massive.

[@LtSMASH324]

Well his sum of best is 6:21 so unless there was a faulty split in there somewhere that's possible. Sub 6 probably isn't though. I'm not sure if Dist actually killed the category or not, I mean we'll see if people keep running it or if someone comes back and perfects it

Nothing but respect to speed runners. Its not for me and I do not understand how and why it’s so fun for you people, but to each their own. What I don’t understand is how these glitches are discovered, because I know that you have to do specific actions in specific places with specific timing, Somebody hast to figure it out first, who the fuck figures these things out? Is it on purpose or by accident? I may not understand why you guys love doing this, but it is still fascinating to watch.

most of it is by accident, though there's probably also a few people that go out of their way to find glitches

Hey Dist. I’ve been watching you for many years, and always hype you up in my small circle of friends as being my favorite speed runner and one of the best in history. I’ve yet to ever leave a comment on a single video youve ever posted, but it felt necessary here - your work is incredible. How you’ve totally dissected this game and turned it into a sub 7 is incredible. You truly are a gamer in all aspects of the word and I very rarely respect KZbin personalities and otherwise. I absolutely look up to your dedication and hard work as one of the best, if not the best, speed runner in the world. I have been going for any% non zip console runs getting around 42 mins which isn’t bad, and hope to one day be as POWERFUL as you are brother. Cheers from New York City, and god bless.

I kinda want to throw this out there because I've noticed this is a running theme. I understand a number of you discovered Dist2 due to Asmongold's reaction takes of various runs. However a portion of that viewer base doesn't seem to understand the concept of Any % speedruns and are hurling toxic nonsense here and elsewhere. If you don't like the concept of Any % runs, fine, there's plenty of categories to watch instead. But to accuse Dist2 of cheating, of not having a legitimate run, that it doesn't count because there's zips and other exploits used? It's flat out rude and disrespectful, and shows you really haven't seen many speedruns. The exploits used here require frame perfect timing and precision, and this execution is the result of...I don't even know how long but it was a long while of practice. Dist2 is one of the longest running Soulsborne speedrunners and has multiple WRs, both of Any % and full glitchless runs under his belt. Seeing the latest comments be so hateful and rude is saddening to see, and I know Asmon's community is capable of better. Y'know the old saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say..."

If a hacker could start it and do some cheat that exits the game and said they beat it in 2 seconds I still wouldn't be impressed. It's kind of pathetic really. Both the time/energy they put into these runs, plus the fact that people actually care or get excited about it. 😆
