WORLD RECORD Elden Ring Any% Unrestricted Speedrun in

Had to piss really bad at the start so I had to go fast
The teleporting is called the "zip glitch" where we have to time a frame/duration perfect walk input near the end of a guard animation. We believe that something about the walk animation or the walk-to-idle transition animation overlapping with the end of the guard animation loop breaks velocity calculation and causes it to be extremely high for a single frame.

Maliketh, Godfrey phase 1, and Elden Beast all die because we do a megazip (inputting 2 walk inputs instead of 1) which teleports us much farther away than a normal zip. We teleport so far away that the boss arenas despawn and the bosses fall to their death.

GLITCH EXPLANATION: Hope everyone is enjoying the DLC as much as I have been. The lore, cutscenes, and fights are all super cool :) I've answered these questions before in replies but I figured I'll update the description and pin a comment to clear up confusion for new viewers: The teleporting is called the "zip glitch" where we have to time a frame/duration perfect walk input near the end of a guard animation. We believe that something about the walk animation or the walk-to-idle transition animation overlapping with the end of the guard animation loop breaks velocity calculation and causes it to be extremely high for a single frame.

Glitching is the same as cheating, and so it's not a fair record and you can't consider it a world record. Because it wasn't earned honestly

beat the last record by a second just two weeks later. I remember when the game frist came out, the record was getting cut in half with almost every week that passed.

Hi, could you please explain to me what exactly happened at the end? It was Godfrey, scene missing, the end. How is it that you weren't required to deal with Radagon/Elden Beast?

[@Hypersomniac24]

We zip so far away that the area unloads and the bosses don't so they fall to their death. So Elden Beast is loaded in and so is Godfrey, Godfrey dies first and so that triggers his phase 2 and saves us from fall death. Then Elden Beast falls to its' death soon after. And even if we die after killing Elden Beast, we'll still spawn by Marika.

Great job! Is this the latest patch or are you running an older one?

[@Hypersomniac24]

This is on 1.04. There are supposedly performance boosts since 1.02, however in 1.05 they made it so swinging mid-air doesn't delay your fall death anymore. So 1.04 is the best patch to run on.

[@ViRazY]

[@Hypersomniac24]

[@cuddlequeen3225]

I like how you beat the final boss in the second to last boss and I don't understand it at all. I also like how you have to have perfect performance yet it looks like you have poor performance cause nothing is loading.

[@shadowyking123]

The explanation is that the Elden Beast spawns into the game when he zips to the Erdtree at 4:41. Then when he zips again, he travels so far away that the level despawns - the ground, terrain, etc, are all unloaded. However, the bosses don't despawn, so both Godfrey and the Elden Beast start falling into nothingness and die. When Godfrey dies, he's teleported back to fight Hoarah Loux. Then Elden Beast dies a few seconds later, causing him to be teleported to the ending location.

[@sinaqa6911]

congrats on the run man, quick question though, with the current route, whats the best possible time? i.e. getting every zip perfect first try would the time be able to go down into 2 mins?

[@Hypersomniac24]

With these zips it would probably be around 3:20, there is a quicker zip to get to the academy and to the belfries but it's a pretty precise lineup so that could knock about 5 seconds more off if done very quickly.

some glitches happen random and then speedrunners try to repicate these random clitches and try to optimize them to use efficiently in a run, resulting in even more interesting strategies and shortcuts

What is the weird metronome for? I’ve never seen anyone glitch through Elden ring like this, it’s crazy. Is this only possible on pc?

[@CErra310]

Yes and yes. It's probably something to do with how keyboard keys are not analogue movement input but are either pressed 100% or not at all. The metronome is for timing, the how-to is documented on speedsouls. -Hold the walk (Alt) button while performing the zip. -Begin by pressing block (right mouse button) for 126 frames. -Then, while continuing to hold block, press W for 7 frames. -Do not release walk or block until after the zip.

Can someone explain please? Or was it a common glitch and posts about it just evaded me?? I’m so confused lol

[@lofeofsope2542]

the reasons there’s not a ton of talk about it is because it’s incredibly difficult to perform consistently and requires perfect timing and positioning to complete, that’s why even the world record runs fail the glitch a few times in their runs.

What a lucky run! Its crazy how far the zip has been pushed. Not sure how i feel about the use of the metronome but otherwise this was a phenomenal any% time. Wish you were a bit more vocal though the silence kills me.

[@Hypersomniac24]

Yea I usually stream my speedruns and talk, but these runs are not good to do for streams imo since your finger gets tired after a couple hours and the timing becomes less consistent. Better to do them in short 2 hour sessions.

[@sartrecamus386]

What’s wrong with the metronome

[@tacotanium5035]

Is that teleporter to farum azula a glitch?

[@Hypersomniac24]

The teleporter itself is not, that's intended to put you on an unreachable part of farum that you can't get off of. However we use the wrong warp glitch by force quitting the game after using memory of grace, and that allows us to teleport to the default location of whatever area we're in. So that lets me get to the start of farum.
