One prominent member of the Souls speedrunning community wants to get a new Elden Ring category off the ground in a big way, and he's offering $10,000 worth of bounties to get it kickstarted. All you've got to do for your share is beat Shadow of the Erdtree with some extreme power limitations.
Distortion2, a prolific speedrunner and former Elden Ring world record holder, is hosting a bounty challenge for the new Rune Level 1 DLC% category from now until August 11. As the name suggests, you have to play at rune level 1 as you beat all Shadow of the Erdtree remembrance bosses and Bayle using nothing but weapons found in the DLC. You're also only allowed to level up your Scadu blessing by 1 for each boss killed.
