An Elden Ring speedrunner has beaten the game in under three hours without taking any damage.

Ever since Elden Ring's release last month, speedrunners have slowly been beating each other's times and managing to get through the game quicker than the last. The current best speedrun is under 30 minutes and looks to stay that way for a while thanks to some changes made to key skills used in the run, but one streamer has set a new record with a no-hit run that took three hours.

This feat comes from Twitch streamer Seki, who managed to beat Elden Ring in two hours, 51 minutes, and ten seconds without taking any kind of damage at all. Seki reportedly put over 130 hours into the game to practise for the run and appears to be the first in the world to do it, or at least certainly the first one to record their success.

Seki claimed that his run was the world's first, which caused some in the community to argue that GinoMachino had managed the same feat on March 13. However, that was a no-hit run, which is a bit easier to do than a no-damage run. As reported by Kotaku, Seki said this when asked what the difference between the two runs is, “No-Hit/No Damage is harder than a regular no-hit run as the player cannot take [any] environmental damage such as fall damage/poison etc. This adds difficulty to the run as I don’t have access to buffs such as Red-Feathered Branchsword which could potentially increase my damage output if I had low health.”

This essentially means that Seki managed to complete the whole game without taking fall damage and without taking damage from poison or frenzy, as well as avoiding all hits. Seki said the hardest part of this challenge was the final boss, "It has a specific move that is infamously unfair: Elden Stars. One of the only ways to possibly avoid it is by staggering him while he’s casting the spell. This took dozens of hours of precise practice and training to time correctly.”
