Elden Ring Any% Unrestricted Speedrun in

Sub 4 minutes was the last minute barrier possible to break in this game. I'm really happy with that time and I'm now 100% done with that category!
Shoutout to Virazy for finding a lot of the new zips that made that sub 4 possible!
If you want more informations about the run, or the teleport glitch/zip, check the pinned comment.

[@seekerTV]

- What's that ticking sound before the teleport? I'm using a metronome and try to move forward at the 4th beat. - How do you teleport? You want to block for 129 frames, then walk forward for 4 frames. You can use a different timing like 126/7 for example, the goal is to reach 133 frames. - Why are you teleported to the Stone Platform right after you die? We zip so far away from the capital that the ground start despawning. That makes Hoarax Loux and Elden Beast dies from fall damage. Since Hoarax Loux has a second phase, it teleports us back to his arena. A few seconds later, Elden Beast dies and we are instead teleported to the Stone Platform. If you want more in depth informations, you can check daravae's tutorial or tomatoanus video about this run. You can also join the souls speedrunning discord too here discord.speedsouls.com/ if you have more questions.

[@thirty-three7546]

@@TerminalM193 runs like this are more like seeing how far a game can be pushed to its limits also it can still be challenging to get all the inputs perfectly in such a tight run like this there is a reason why runs like this are in a separate category vs other normal runs, you can still watch runs in those categories, it's not like glitched runs like this are replacing them

[@OrignalElidest]

Speed runs have category for this reason. This is an any% and method run. You just have to beat the final boss. However, there is a glitchless all boss run and glitchless 100% run and those imo are interesting.

love how a game specifically about killing bosses and hard enemies has a speedrun where the character doesn’t even fight anything except the final boss and when he does he dies immediately

[@advaitthavare]

That's after the "final" boss, right? The final boss dies once he reaches the last guy.

[@swarmsovereign5158]

no no, what happens is he fights the third-to-final boss, and dies only soon after the actual final boss dies to gravity waaaay down below. what's really happening within all the zips and frames going on, is he made the game load in the arena for the Elden Beast (the final boss) because the actual physical arena is actually way below the arena that third-to-final boss sits in. and as it loads, and the immediately unloads, within those few frames the Elden Beast drops to it's death via gravity. not even a god in souls games can escape gravity.

[@buriednameless965]

@@edburton6801 basically you perform "The Zip" which is by holding block with certain weapons. At this point the blocking idle animation will loop, and if you turn around and start moving at exactly the right time during the point at which the loop resets, it launches you incredible distances. This is why you see the space bar light up, and then a metronome begin to play. The metronome tells the streamer around when the loop resets.
