Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has been in our hands for little over two weeks, but speedrunners have been quick to get to work figuring out how to blast through the expansion as fast as possible. We're already seeing some super impressive work, with a recent run from the Summer Games Done Quick charity event going from the entrance of the Realm of Shadow to destroying Messmer the Impaler in just over 26 minutes.
While Messmer isn't the final boss of the DLC, he's still a significant way through the expansion, and sits at the end of an enormous dungeon. You're more than likely going to have fought a handful of bosses by the time you find him, and while none of the expansion's fights are particularly easy, his is definitely up there with the hardest. This meant nothing to speedrunner Blanxz, though, who tore through the Realm of Shadow faster than you can say 'Scadutree Fragment' to show the fiery foe who's boss.
