An Elden Ring player has achieved the seemingly impossible and somehow managed to complete the game in just 2 and a half hours, all without dying. 

FromSoftware's RPG Elden Ring continues to dominate the internet with players unable to get enough of the new game since its release on February 25. However, if you were hoping to play an easy fantasy game, then you are in for a bit of a shock. Elden Ring has already gained a reputation for its difficulty with many players still struggling to get past the first boss. The response was so overwhelming in fact, that the game's Director Hidetaka Miyazaki apologised to labouring players trying to plough through Elden Ring

However, one Elden Ring player has put us all to shame by not only managing to beat the game without dying, but all within just over two and a half hours.

Who Completed Elden Ring In Just Over 2 And A Half Hours?

Elden Ring's main storyline may have a hefty completion time for us mere mortals. However, speedrunner "niko bellic" achieved the unbelievable feat of finishing Elden Ring all within the space of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Not only that, but they were able to complete the game in its entirety without dying once.

We won't spoil anything about Elden Ring's main storyline, but you can watch niko's Elden Ring playthrough in its entirety below, including their epic fights against every boss. 

*Spoiler Alert*

Having amassed over 19 million views since joining YouTube in 2012, this isn't the first time niko has showed their incredible speedrunning skills. As well as Elden Ring, niko has also done speed runs with SifuMetroid Dread, and My Friend Pedro. Once again, without dying once within the game. 

How Did Fans React To Niko's Elden Ring Speedrun?

Since posting their Elden Ring speedrun on March 3, niko bellic's YouTube video has gone onto to gain 800k views, with many fans astonished at how they were able to achieve such an impossible task. One fan sharing their support said: "To think there will actually be people to do this even faster is insane. You're amazing for being one of the first to do this." 

There may be some players who are still struggling to get through certain parts of the game, but viewers of niko's Elden Ring speedrun also expressed their gratitude to the YouTuber for helping them out with their own playthroughs. As one viewer claimed: "Just finished my first playthrough, and just need the other 2 ending achievements, this route is gonna help a lot with getting them faster, thank you!"
