Elajjaz
Sweden
The Dark Souls 3 Any% record set by Swedish speedrunner Elajjaz. He completed FromSoftware's notoriously punishing action RPG in an astonishing 18 minutes and 5 seconds. While the Dark Souls series is famous for its extreme difficulty, speedrunners memorize enemy placement patterns, execute pixel-perfect movement paths, and leverage specific glitches to blast through the game. For context, a first-time player typically needs 40 to 60 hours to finish.
