Distortion2’s world record
A player from the website Distortion2 recently broke the world record for zipping in Elden Ring by playing the game in under 14 minutes. This amazing speedrun is made possible by the zip glitch, which allows players to teleport to certain points on the map and skip large chunks of the game. The speedrun was completed just a week after BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment updated the game to prevent players from speedrunning it.
The run is amazing in that it involves several glitches that Distortion2 used to achieve the impressive time. These glitches, known as zips, are required for players to zip across the map, but they are very difficult to do without a guide to Elden Ring. However, the following will provide some insight into how to perform a zip glitch in Elden Ring.
Hazeblade’s speedrun
In the video below, user Hazeblade completes Elden Ring in twenty-four minutes and thirty-seven seconds, making him the fastest player in the game. According to the video title, this is the first instance of an Elden Ring speedrun, but many commenters have confirmed that they’ve seen world records broken in the past. For more information on the game’s speedrun, read the video’s official description.
Although some gamers claim to have beaten Hazeblade’s speedrun in Elden Ring, this is not entirely accurate. Hazeblade actually beat his own record by using a glitch called zip. By doing this, he was able to teleport across the map and skip a large part of the game. Moreover, Hazeblade didn’t use a Samurai class in the video, instead selecting a Warrior class. Nonetheless, he still uses the Icerind Hatchet weapon.
Pegasus glitch
Using the speedrun feature in the Elden Ring, players can move from one place to another with the help of the zip glitch. This glitch is highly technical and requires a specific execution and environment. Moreover, it is not consistent between different hardware. However, players who wish to achieve the fastest time in the game can use input macros. Adapting your inputs to the game’s zip mechanics will give you an advantage in your quest for speedrunning the game.
In Elden Ring, players can perform zip runs to achieve incredible speed. Elden Ring speedruns are now under 10 minutes and feature world-record-breaking speed, thanks to the zip glitch. In fact, the zip glitch has been responsible for the recent world-record speedrun by renowned speedrunner Distortion2, which is less than nine minutes. You can also make use of the zip glitch to despawn under bosses or even fly through the map.
Mega Zip glitch
In Elder Ring, the Mega Zip glitch is one of the most popular tricks. It sends you flying through the air without causing any damage when you fall. This glitch works on flat surfaces and even hills, so it will send you far. The length of the Zip depends on the amount of time between blocking and executing input. If you want to speed run, you can reduce the graphics settings and use a metronome to time your movements.
To use this glitch, you’ll need to run the game at 60 FPS. During this window, hold the movement key while moving slow and then release it on the 139th frame. Once you’ve released the button, you’ll be able to zip across the world! Currently, there is no clear method to activate this glitch on other platforms, and some computers have difficulty handling it. For those who want to try it, you can download an auto hot key on PC.
