3/22/22 News from George Martin
George R. R. Martin cleared up some rumors about Elden Ring on his blog. Some players of the game had come up with a theory that a few different characters had names starting with G, R and M as a sort of code for his writing credit. This seems to be a simple case of people over analyzing, instead of judging the game for what it actually is.

Tolomeo completed a level 1, blind first playthrough of Elden Ring. A truly impressive accomplishment. A level 1 run can already be difficult, going into a game not knowing anything about it and needing to come up with any strategies as you go adds a whole extra layer of difficulty. Follow his Twitch channel as he plans to fight the end game optional bosses as well.

Elden Ring has already reached 12 million sales. To put that in perspective, it took Dark Souls 3 about 4 years to hit 10 million sales. FromSoftware games typically have great legs, so it will be interesting to see how far Elden Ring can go in life time sales.

Distortion2 has completed the first sub 30 minute speed run in the any% wrong warp category getting a time of 28:59. As of this post this is the world record in the category. Any% wrong warp has seen some interesting developments as it has some pretty game breaking skips and glitches.

Lobosjr has also done Malenia at Rune Level 1. It’s interesting to see where is approach diverges from Ongbal’s. Blocking can actually be useful even at base level against Malenia. Congrats to both of them for getting this kill.

Ongbal, mostly known for being absolutely amazing at Sekiro, just beat Malenia Blade of Miquella at Rune Level 1, without Summons and without taking damage. Via parry, he was able to control the boss, and make it look so easy. Subscribe to his channel if you like advanced challenge run content.

No Hit runs of Elden Ring have already been completed. It can be hard to verify these things but it seems that Bushidoyu was the first person to complete the run. Regardless, both Bushidoyu and GinoMachino deserve a ton of credit for already completing such an impressive run. Gino has his eyes set on No Hit, All Bosses. A monumental task that will be a pleasure to see unfold.

FromSoftware has reached new heights with the release of Elden Ring. This is the start of yet another new era for the company and the community as scope and expectations are now higher than they’ve ever been. Will Elden Ring be a long running franchise similar to Dark Souls? Or will Miyazaki and the team decide to branch out again like they did with Sekiro? Only time will tell, but either way it’s a very exciting time for fans of FromSoft.
