Dark Souls 3 Speedrunner Breaks Incredible World Record

by

The speedrunners of Dark Souls 3 consistently astound the gaming community, and most recently, one of them has accomplished an extraordinary feat by completing the game in just 24 minutes and 57 seconds – a world record time. Even with its challenging and unyielding nature, Dark Souls 3 can appear as child’s play to speedrunners and dedicated players who perform seemingly impossible feats that leave the average player amazed.

One notable reason behind FromSoftware’s game fame is undeniably their distinctive level of challenge. Although numerous games test players’ skills, the tough-as-nails gameplay of Dark Souls became so well-liked it spawned an entire genre: Soulslikes. Despite sharing similarities with Elden Ring, many view it as more of a continuation rather than Dark Souls 4, since Dark Souls 3 was the latest and most praised game in the series by fans. Dark Souls 3 showcased memorable boss battles that demanded both patience and enhanced gaming abilities. While it typically takes an average player around 31 to 34 hours to complete the main story and conquer all the challenging bosses, a speedrunner has significantly outshone this timeframe.

Dark Souls 3 Speedrunner Finishes Game in 24 Minutes 57 Seconds

Olzku, a renowned speedrunner, finished off Dark Souls 3 in an impressive 24 minutes and 57 seconds using a fresh route. By skillfully exploiting certain game bugs, this player sped through various areas of Dark Souls 3, successfully evading numerous enemies along the way while swiftly defeating bosses in record time.

Olzku’s performance in Dark Souls 3 stands out remarkably against previous speedrun records, but it’s not just about finishing fast; there are other extraordinary feats that players have accomplished. For instance, some gamers have attempted and succeeded in completing the game in unusual ways, like a dedicated gamer who defeated every boss using only their feet.

It’s not uncommon to find players tackling self-imposed challenges in other games by FromSoftware as well. For instance, an Elden Ring player just recently completed the game, defeating over 200 bosses, but without directly attacking any of them. Instead, they used a strategy that caused damage whenever enemies dodged or rolled.

Without a doubt, Olzku’s achievement is remarkable, yet the speedrun community consistently pushes boundaries. Consequently, it’s not unforeseeable that the record might be shattered at some point in the future – possibly by Olzku or another player. Meanwhile, as FromSoftware’s dedicated players strive to surpass these records, it’ll be captivating to observe their feats in the upcoming game, Elden Ring Nightreign.
