...Yes indeed, it is called never land, a transitory land where the pilgrims travel to discover a truth, The onions fade and the ogres go without swamps, when the link of onions is threatened a bell tolls unearthing all old ogres. Alshrek saint of the swamp, Shreks undead legion the abyss ogres, and the reclusive ogre of the Profaned onion Yhorm the Ogre. The Ogres will abandon their Swamps and the unogred will rise.

lol, all these people in the comments complaining about using glitches/exploits for their runs. Like, have any of you ever seen speed runs before? You're supposed to do whatever it takes to get the fastest time, so if you're going to use a glitch, do it! Speed runs aren't about playing a game like everyone else, it's about completing your set objective faster than anyone else. Nice job, Distortion2! This was a great watch!
Everyone here is complaining about glitches, when the fact remains that a speedrun means getting from point a to point b in the fastest means possible, by any means necessary.
Can people who complain about the usage of glitches please do their research, or hust shut up. The route he takes is an OFFICIAL route. I say it again. OFFICIAL. Complaining about this is like saying that running 200m in 200m race isn't legit. And also , if you are unimpressed with him, then try to finnish a run by doing the exact same thing as he does. Then after you have managed to finnish one run, then try to do it faster than him. I promise you that you will all end up looking like a bunch of idiots.
+TheJimmy55 But it is a legit speedrun. Using glitches doesn't make it any less legit. The problem I have with these guys is that they are obviously uninformed on the topic, yet they act like they know more about speedrunning than professional speedrunners. They act really arrogant, saying these speedruns are stupid or doesn't count. As I said in my previous comment. If they had just done one minute pf research with the intension of actually learning something new of course, they would know how wrong they are.
I don't understand people complaining about glitches during a speed run. 90% of a speed run is someone avoiding playing the game anyway so what does it matter if they use a glitch.
becuase we want to do the same run, but not cheat? like i said its fine for them but please put it in the title? Can i find one legit speedrun with no glitches
It seems like an acceptable definition of "legit" speedrunning could be something like: Finishing a game as fast as possible, using any and all exploits of the game possible, without altering or adding to the original software of the game. By this definition, glitches are perfectly acceptable, as anyone who owns the game could perform the same glitches without altering their software. Putting the further restriction of "no glitches" creates a subcategory of speedruns that is perfectly welcome from the community, as far as I can tell, but does not in any way invalidate speedruns that use glitches, because anyone with the base software could do the things these speedrunners do, provided they practice the way these guys do. Speedruns using glitches are extremely skill-based (it's not easy to perform many of these glitches, much less do it in a timely way), and should not be considered cheating. "Cheating" would be altering the software to improve the character's sprinting speed, for example. Ok. Rant over.
Fire Keeper: Hey you know that guy that came in here an hour ago? Hawkwood: Yeah, what about them? Fire Keeper: They just killed all the Lords of Cinder and saved the world.
Well this was ... interesting, not at all what I was looking for but interesting all the same, apparently I need to look for "glitch-less" speed runs of this game. Anyway very good job beating it in under an hour, glitches or no that's really impressive :).
How do you think the stray demon felt when he just ran right under him and left without even touching him? Probably started crying because he isn't a true boss
Can someone explain what the unequipping, re equipping Anri's sword does? I thought it had something to do with the floating glitch, but he did it even while just running through the catacombs
I accidentally found a glitch that allowed me to bypass Abyss watchers, stage 2 and everything, it's in my channel if you may want to recreate it. I was thinking it could be a major strat if we can get it consistent.
Shingen Pendragon I know I’m super late and you probably don’t care by now but I believe luck actually powers the sword he is using in the run, Anri’s sword I think it’s called which is why he’s doing an insane amount of damage
Have you ever thought about saving time by killing younger prince while on his brother's back? With a thrust weapon maybe? I think that'd be pretty cool
It would be slower, because he would have to both get a thrust weapon and get the upgrade materials, and killing him on the back wouldn't save much if any time. He'd lose time overall.
Devin Sprague (sorry english isnt my main language) it means that the run isnt 100%.So they skip some Bosses like the great wood.Cause they are not binded to come trough the game.
yeah once DLC comes out there'll be an All Boss + DLC category he has to run, which wont let him use teardrops. but the categroy of All Bosses pre-DLC is still available
CONGRATULATIONS; this run can be only second to a segmented one, even if sum of red splits its 25 second. NOW Sir +Distortion2 do u have a moment to talk about our lord and savior CURRENT PATCH?
I love watching your runs. There's something immensely satisfying about seeing these bosses fall to you so effortlessly and efficiently. EDIT: Holy shit that glitch is amazing.
Why are you allowed to stop the timer every time you quit the game when you open the gates? If quitting the game is faster than the animation for opening the door, then fine, but it seems the timer should still be running.
it's because people doesn't nescessarily have the same specs, which makes loading times vary from person to person. It's to prevent a pay to win scenario.
What Angelo Arcaini said. Quitting out also resets the mob's spawns meaning he can keep moving past some of the doors without fear of mobs following him.
To elaborate on Angelo's statement, opening the doors has a really long animation that can add minutes worth of in-game time throughout a run. By quitting out the game's playtime pauses and when he reloads, the door will already be marked as open so speed runners can skip the animation reducing in-game time required to complete a run. It's similar to why Dist uses homeward bones while already in Firelink Shrine. Using the bone to reset him at bonfire costs less time (because loading screens do not count towards in-game time) than running to the stairs.
The game doesnt stop it, the timer still runs in-game. Thats RTA. Hes doing IGT. Hes stopping the timer manually. This is done so t hat people with SSDs dont have an advantage over ppl who cant/wont affford them.
Mom: you only have one hour to play
Him: challenge accepted
3:00 did he just snipe a lizard with firebombs????
yep
how do you do this @.@
Mike Bohn @.@
u need to apply 2 FaZe clan 1. and go to their secrit undergrund trainingz in korea
Congrats dude, this is a legendary achievement! A couple months go this seemed to be literally impossible. Nice one.
To be fair a couple of months ago the teardrop route wasnt a thing lol. Going to be hard to beat this time tough Legendary is the right way to put it.
I think it'll still drop lower, I reckon more skips will be discovered. I'm still waiting for the bridge skip near the start of Undead Settlement.
...Yes indeed, it is called never land, a transitory land where the pilgrims travel to discover a truth, The onions fade and the ogres go without swamps, when the link of onions is threatened a bell tolls unearthing all old ogres.

Idk what I just read, but I agree completely.
Daphuc?
Dis shit deserves 100 likes
i love you
trent its so good
Dist: 59 min ended DS3
Me: 4:00:00 Tower on The Wall
We all start somewhere. Hey it has been a year, have your times gotten better?
blind tree man yeah have you gotten to undead settlement yet?
did you finish the game yet?
Why are people mad that he's using a glitch? That's fucking speed running at its core. It exploiting the game to beat in the fastest time possible.
My mind is a little more blown every time I see another upload with a faster time.
You're a madman, dist.
distortion, you are the legend man. Keep it up with the videos!
lol, all these people in the comments complaining about using glitches/exploits for their runs. Like, have any of you ever seen speed runs before? You're supposed to do whatever it takes to get the fastest time, so if you're going to use a glitch, do it! Speed runs aren't about playing a game like everyone else, it's about completing your set objective faster than anyone else. Nice job, Distortion2! This was a great watch!
Congrats on sub hour!!
That has to be the best skip/glitch I've ever seen in a Souls game! Nice job!
Teardrop or not. The amount of skill Distortion shows at boss fights and the game in general. Shit, dude you're a machine! Congratz to sub 1h!
Also, this is it's own route. No one has ever finnished this route faster, which alone proves that he is skilled.
I missed the WR yet again! gj tho dist. keep letting them know whos boss!
+Macko
red= currently behind record pace
green= currently ahead record pace
gold/glod= last segment was done in the fastest time recorded
Everyone here is complaining about glitches, when the fact remains that a speedrun means getting from point a to point b in the fastest means possible, by any means necessary.
under 1 minute AND 360p club
im early
time to make a joke
sub 59
you definitely ascended to god status at this point. ALL HAIL DISTORTION
Can people who complain about the usage of glitches please do their research, or hust shut up. The route he takes is an OFFICIAL route. I say it again. OFFICIAL.

finnished
sure its legit thatsfine. im not saying it doesnt take skill either. i just want a route with no glitches i can see and follow
I don't understand people complaining about glitches during a speed run. 90% of a speed run is someone avoiding playing the game anyway so what does it matter if they use a glitch.
becuase we want to do the same run, but not cheat? like i said its fine for them but please put it in the title? Can i find one legit speedrun with no glitches

Under an hour! He did it! I remember at 1:04 people were saying it was impossible to speed it up any more
Wow, I didn't even know you could roll through illusionary walls.
It's crazy to see how much the run has evolved. I like the current route more than this one though.
Your vids are awesome! Keep up the nice work
It's actually allowed to use glitches/bugs to get better times for all bosses runs? :O
Yes, that's what a speedrun implies
Fire Keeper: Hey you know that guy that came in here an hour ago?
Hawkwood: Yeah, what about them?
Fire Keeper: They just killed all the Lords of Cinder and saved the world.
This is crazy! Well done man!
even the broken game is gorgeous 22:10 Kreygasm
Sorry, noob question here: Why do you do the constant re-equipping of the sword?
Actually later in the vid I noticed that it heals... somehow.
Anri straight sword, Heals every time its unequipped/reequipped
Well this was ... interesting, not at all what I was looking for but interesting all the same, apparently I need to look for "glitch-less" speed runs of this game. Anyway very good job beating it in under an hour, glitches or no that's really impressive :).
Good job on getting their Dist. Didn't think you needed to peach out on ancient wyvern though.
I feel like your Alluring Skull strat for Deacons was better, but I don't know how that affects your route. Thoughts?
UR A GOD. it takes me atleast 7 hours to beat tihs game grrrrrr
Lol all these people complaining about him using exploits know absolutely nothing about the speed running community.
How do you think the stray demon felt when he just ran right under him and left without even touching him? Probably started crying because he isn't a true boss
I was here when you failed your sub 1:00 yesterday but I wasn't here for this brilliant record... FeelsBadman
Congratulations on the sub one hour run. Have you done a Farron Greatsword run? If not would you consider it? Anyway, thanks for the uploads.
holy shit congrats dude!
17:50 tier drop
Didn't the July 19 the update fixed the bug? How come he can still use it?
Jason Ji he plays on early version of the game
Gooroo Chanel
oh thats why...i cant even uninstall the update
Can someone explain what the unequipping, re equipping Anri's sword does? I thought it had something to do with the floating glitch, but he did it even while just running through the catacombs
It gives small amounts of health back each time you equip it.
Sub 1hr memes are dead, sub 59 memes are born. Congrats man, freaking amazing! Too bad I missed it, otherwise I would've donated my life-savings eh.
Could you make a cleric, no teardrop run ? Unless there is one already, thanks.
Dayum congrats!
PS Lorian's UGS could be fun for a meme run. 45 second +80 AR fire buff on stomp.
I accidentally found a glitch that allowed me to bypass Abyss watchers, stage 2 and everything, it's in my channel if you may want to recreate it. I was thinking it could be a major strat if we can get it consistent.
The enemies were just like: pls come back ;-;
Now I see what Anri's sword got nerfed. Holy crap the damage you were doing to the princes. Even with bleed, that is ridiculous.
What sword is that and how can it do so much damage? What buffs, rings, miracles etc did he use to boost the damage like that?
Okay, you are amazing!
But i have one big question
Why are you spend so much souls for luck?
Shingen Pendragon I know I’m super late and you probably don’t care by now but I believe luck actually powers the sword he is using in the run, Anri’s sword I think it’s called which is why he’s doing an insane amount of damage
Have you ever thought about saving time by killing younger prince while on his brother's back? With a thrust weapon maybe? I think that'd be pretty cool
It would be slower, because he would have to both get a thrust weapon and get the upgrade materials, and killing him on the back wouldn't save much if any time. He'd lose time overall.
What does it mean for a Dark Souls Speedrun to be "Any%"?
Devin Sprague (sorry english isnt my main language) it means that the run isnt 100%.So they skip some Bosses like the great wood.Cause they are not binded to come trough the game.
you must be some kind of a genius
Last time I was this early, sub 2 hour was great.
Why are you guys still doing old patch runs? I thought the speed runs on speedsouls were current patch runs.
What's the reason for exiting the game every time he opens a door or something like that? Is it to de-agro the mobs?
congrats dist! PogChamp PogChamp
What's the speedrun record not exploiting game bugs?
look it up. go too speedrun dot com. I can't put actual link or my comment will get removed
wow i saw this run live on stream for 20 minutes or so and went to bed and it is sub 1 hour FeelsBadMan
Sub 1 hr baby!!
Just wandering, is it actually faster to quit and reload instead of opening the door?
it is, because the ingame time stops when you leave the game. Every door is like 2 seconds faster that way
Amazing man, congrats
Nice work man!
What's equipping and unequipping the sword do? Apologies for not being informed.
Braille Text oh wow, makes sense. Thanks
another undead settlement needs our help!
Ahh too bad I missed this stream :( but congrats anyways man!
from what i gathered these runs are on an older version? so won't these strats be obsolete once dlc comes out?
yeah once DLC comes out there'll be an All Boss + DLC category he has to run, which wont let him use teardrops. but the categroy of All Bosses pre-DLC is still available
Which one is the world record then, and how much faster is it?
can't watch right now but did you finally get good crystal sage rng? lol
2nd spell was the one he wanted so yeah it was pretty good
CONGRATULATIONS; this run can be only second to a segmented one, even if sum of red splits its 25 second.
NOW Sir +Distortion2 do u have a moment to talk about our lord and savior CURRENT PATCH?
I'm curious, why no Burial Gift? Couldn't that make the run a tad easier or something?
He did, he chose black firebombs.
Huh. Didn't see that for some reason, thanks.
sir, you are not human
Everybody in the chat is famous now! Go one million views.
I thought they patched the year bug in that glitch on July 19th. How did you do that?
+Braille Text Wasn't Anri's Sword also nerfed?
why does he keep leaving the game when he entered the door after gundyr for example
SUB HOUR HYPE!!
I love watching your runs. There's something immensely satisfying about seeing these bosses fall to you so effortlessly and efficiently.
EDIT: Holy shit that glitch is amazing.
can someone explain what happened w8th the tear drop?
after aldrich he was still in glitch mode. impressive
every time youre restarts your time also is holding on
What about stray demon???????????
not a boss
It gives you a soul as an omage, but it doesn't have a boss health bar; thus it can't be considered a true boss.
You are the man. GG !
Why is the Wyvern called a chain snake?
Roadkill literally said, "Can you not go so fast?" But the point is to go fast and also, that's what she said.
Also shouldn't the time be a little shorter because you weren't going for beating the game you were going for all bosses.
All Bosses = beating the game and all optional bosses
Dude! how do you jump?! I stopped at 3:00 -_-
wyheee on console you run and press down the button you walk with (not gonna lie that was a fucken skillshot if i've ever seen one)
Thank you. I Found out that already & i already beat the game. Playing Watch Dogs 2 now
Thanks anyways bro :)
sub 1 hour meme will come back once the dlcs are here, hope ya know.
Why are you allowed to stop the timer every time you quit the game when you open the gates? If quitting the game is faster than the animation for opening the door, then fine, but it seems the timer should still be running.
Since loading times are different across pcs, using in-game times eliminates the pay-to-win aspect of speedruns.
what does equiping and unequiping uf sword do?
it heals a bit
In my opinion, if you're going to use the save & exit to skip through things and make glitches work, the time in menu should also count....
it's because people doesn't nescessarily have the same specs, which makes loading times vary from person to person. It's to prevent a pay to win scenario.
What's up with all these people in the comments not knowing what a speedrun is?
Good job dist!
It be reset city when I'm actually watching but when I don't there's always a new WR lol. Gratz on the sub hour
excellent programming right here .
What does equipping and unequipping his weapon repeatedly do?
jared faux heals you for a bit
why he was doing the spam with the weapon?
can I ask please why do speed runners quit out when opening doors is it quicker the the door opening in real time?
Because the time recorded is in game time, quitting saves like 3-4 seconda on some doors
What Angelo Arcaini said. Quitting out also resets the mob's spawns meaning he can keep moving past some of the doors without fear of mobs following him.
To elaborate on Angelo's statement, opening the doors has a really long animation that can add minutes worth of in-game time throughout a run.

It's similar to why Dist uses homeward bones while already in Firelink Shrine. Using the bone to reset him at bonfire costs less time (because loading screens do not count towards in-game time) than running to the stairs.
that you new there must of been a good reason
Wat, how do you stop crystal sage from teleporting away
xavier wagenknecht when the crystal sage has any of his 5 crystal missile things up above his head, he won't teleport
Any reason you are quitting out in the dungeon that I'm missing?
The freaking jailers mate...
+Lyrica D-Va of Leanbox the ones that will barely hit you?
Imagine if you could fly around like this in ds2, it would make runs so much quicker.
well done and congrats
I liked the part when you transformed into a wisp.
the damage u do is ridiculous how is it so much, I took me while to beat the demon king and u did it in 20 seconds
Why does he save so frequently?
It really creeps me out how you restart the game on every gate. Is it really that fast?
I think its like 2.5 secs faster
The timer only counts in-game time -- you can see it stop every time he quits out. The actual time spent restarting is very small.
if I recall
big gates are 9 seconds
restart is 13
So worse real time, better in game time
why does he stop it when he opens a gate if the game already does that?
The game doesnt stop it, the timer still runs in-game. Thats RTA. Hes doing IGT. Hes stopping the timer manually. This is done so t hat people with SSDs dont have an advantage over ppl who cant/wont affford them.
