The $10,000 tournament held by Elden Ring speedrunner Distortion2 has come to an end, and the winner submitted the winning run just hours before the deadline.
For a quick primer, the goal of the tournament was to kill all Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance bosses and Bayle the dragon at level 1 using only DLC weapons, with the additional caveat that you can only gain one Scadutree level each time you beat a boss. Runners could also use any of the items available on the premade character save files, most notably talismans. A few glitches were allowed, especially those that skip areas like the newly discovered pegasus walk, but this wasn't your typical any% clear where runners just zip to the end and kill bosses with gravity.
