Elden Ring is a huge open-world extravaganza. Since its release, it has proved to be a tough nut to crack for a lot of players. Its boss fights are so intense and deadly that they take a lot of effort to beat. However, there’s one player who just finished the biggest game of 2022 in style, with a record speed run.

LilAggy, the famous streamer, has done something that no one else could. He completed Elden Ring in under one hour, during a recent speed run gameplay stream.

Moreover, the game has also managed to stay afloat with a healthy number of concurrent players on Steam. That’s not usual with a single-player release these days. But since it’s Elden Ring, nothing seems impossible for this beast of a game.

Apart from its near-flawless presentation and gameplay mechanics, the title is also in trend due to its difficulty, ever since its debut in late February. On top of being an open-world game, the challenging boss fights of Elden Ring make it one of the extremely hard-to-progress titles.

However, it seems like such difficulties don’t matter to streamer LilAggy, at all. Just weeks after its launch, he has managed to become the first Elden Ring player in the world to complete it in an hour!

In his speed run, LilAggy dodged a lot of hindrances and sequences to focus just on beating the campaign as fast as possible. In doing so, he also defeated key bosses in various map locations.

By the time he overcame the final Elden Beast with a “GOD SLAIN” appreciation and mended the Elden Ring, the time registered was 58 minutes and 38 seconds. It’s really a mindboggling feat to achieve, all things considered.

The fantasy RPG is now available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
