Just after an Elden Ring speedrunner beat the game in under 2.5 hours with no deaths, someone has gone on to beat the game in under an hour, and the first person to ever do so.

Speedrunner and Youtuber LilAggy posted his achievement on his socials, and seeing the full run in action is quite the treat. Of course, apart from actual skill, he goes on a bare minimum run to make the time, only getting items and equipment necessary for his build to work. He uses one of the most OP skills in the game, the Hoarfrost Stomp, to great effect, and although he dies a couple of times during the run, a sub-1 hour time is still very impressive.

The Soulsborne speedrunning community boasts of some of the most passionate and skilled fans, so you can bet that this record won’t stay up for long seeing as the game has been out for a while now and players are already optimizing their strategies and runs to only do the most minimum of requirements to beat the game.
