It was a moment that had to happen at some point and one way or another. Elden Ring has been around long enough for more experienced players to know get all the juice out of the latest From Software. However, speedrunners never cease to amaze us.
And it is that the user niko bellic -not to be confused with the protagonist of GTA IV- has achieved a colossal feat. It has passed Elden Ring in just two hours and thirty-five minuteswithout dying even once. You don’t believe us and neither do we yet, but luckily there is a video that shows us this feat.
As you can see, Niko takes a very different route than most. Stormshroud Keep is not his first stop, but heads towards Liurnia in search of essential resources as spirits and vial enhancers. In a short time, he has already achieved a build powerful enough to put anyone in check.
The ending he chooses to follow is that of the Lord of the Circle, which leads him to have very tough fights. Despite his extreme skill and well thought out strategy, he is not spared moments of great tension. The blows take them like everyone else and he is about to die on many occasions, such as against Godfrey.
You can try to make your best time, but it is clear that some speedrunner will appear who will improve this mark and surely without being hurt. Recently we have been able to know what is hidden behind their walls the three coliseums that are in the Middle Lands of Elden Ringat the same time Steam’s cloud save suffers from issues.
