Elden Ring is the newest project unfurled by FromSoftware that promises to plunge you into the world of the Souls-borne franchise. It is the first of its kind open-world RPG that offers total autonomy, but the difficulty remains unchanged. The world bosses are out to hunt you down and they attack from out-of-nowhere. This franchise is not for the faint of heart and it takes countless hours to clear one area of the game.

But speed runners don’t play by the same rule that is applied to the general population. These devious miscreants meticulously hunt for bugs, glitches, and basically any unfair advantage imaginable. However, it doesn’t go without saying that even this requires immense skill, talent, and immeasurable patience that most people might not be able to muster.
