Well, YouTuber and hardcore gamer Hazeblade probably had this same thought in mind. The player ended up creating a new world record for completing Elden Ring in just 24 minutes and 37 seconds. At least, as of this writing, it’s the best speed run of the FromSoftware title.

However, in the description under the video, Hazeblade mentioned that a “Zip Glitch” inside the game proved to be very helpful in saving more time. And that’s why the YouTuber was able to finish it in just under a sub 25-minute run.
