A Dark Souls speedrun record thought to have been nearly perfected was eventually bested with help from a Silent Hill player who devised a whole new strategy.
In 2021, Dark Souls speedrunner CapitaineToinon smashed through the record for the souslike's fastest category. 'Any% Force Quit' simply tasks runners with defeating Gwyn, the game's final boss, as quickly as possible by any means necessary, while allowing the 'Force Quit Wrong Warp' glitch that could, put simply, allow users to essentially teleport to certain spots around the game's map. In his effort, Capitaine beat the rest of the field so hard that it all but buried the category. Until now.
