It's a new day, and it's another awe-inspiring Elden Ring speed record.
This time, this time has run into less than 10 minutes. In fact, this new record took less than 9 minutes to beat the game.
The new record was achieved by Resolution 2, who had previously achieved and broken many other Eldon's Ring of Law speed records, including the first under-20 minute pass in the game in March.
20 minutes now seems like a long time for streamers, as this new record is an impressive 8 minutes and 56 seconds. This is achieved by using (spatiotemporal compression) Zip Glitch technology (note: I don't know what the official translation is), youTube commentator Sketchy explains that Zip Glitch is achieved by "walking through a specific number of frames in a specific amount of time".
"Zip Glitch is caused by a specific way in which walking and guard animations overlap. Zip Glitch relies on hardware (and therefore only allows in unrestricted operations), and lower resolutions make them more consistent. "
To make these Zip Glitches more effective, Distortion2 chose Vagabond as their Elden Ring Speedpass class and level, as equipping a spear makes the character nice and heavy, allowing for further Zip Glitch.
The creator of the fastcom is now aiming for less than 7 minutes, so please pay attention to observation. At this rate, they will finish the game faster than most of us load the title screen.
