Elden Ring Any% Unrestricted Speedrun in 6:59 (WORLDS FIRST SUB 7 MINUTES)

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!

Sat down to watch this with my dinner and it was over before I took my first bite! Insane dude

At this point the run has evolved so that there aren't even spoilers anymore, you don't even see enough of the game to figure out what's happening

What speedrunners seeing: good glitches and skilled speed run techniques Me: a man teleporting around and somehow killed stuff

“Sub 7 is so insanely difficult” 4 minutes in and he is DEAD SILENT in focus. Mad respect

“We’re leaving in 10 minutes. Finish your game up” This guy:

3:20 "Sub 7 is so insanely difficult, guys. I don't think you realize." lmao

The joy and tears in your voice. That shit made life worth living. Great job brother. Not sure wtf is evening happening but IT DOESNT MATTER.

I've never played Elden Ring and it seems I wouldn't know what was going on even if I had but I'm still happy for you. I love when the runners get so emotional! It's awesome.

just spare us the anticipation and make the 10 second run already

-Born into existence -Bends space and time using only a straight sword to teleport himself to farum azula -Removes maliketh from existence -Gets turned into a red mist by godfrey -becomes elden lord Fucking chad

I’ve been unsure about playing this game. Watching this made me realize how much I’ve been missing out. This looks awesome and so fun.

That's great!! You'r awesome dude BIG GG to you This run is crazy

As I commented before, this saga will end when dist creates his character and immediately after the credits start rolling

Zip Lord Dist2 has invaded

There’s a trend I’ve noticed with crazy speed run clips like this. 1. They almost always mention how ridiculous it would be to get a crazy time they’re unknowingly about to achieve and 2. There is always a point in the run where they just go completely silent because they know they got a special run going. GG!

Congrats to sub-7! When I started watching speedruns of Elden Ring, I thought sub-20 would be impossible. And now you and others have chipped away, chipped away, and chipped away at it to the point where using Torrent would slow you down! Congrats to you and the rest of the speedrunning community for accomplishing this feat especially so soon after the game came out!

“Hey son we’re leaving in 7min so be ready” Distortion2: “sweet I have just enough time to beat Elden Ring”

These runs went from "ill catch this after work" to " Ive got something to watch on break"

Holy shit. I didn't look for two weeks and we went from half an hour to this? Great job dude, as always.
