In an astonishing display of skill and strategy, the speedrunner known as Olzku has managed to complete Dark Souls 3 in a record time of 24 minutes and 57 seconds, surpassing the previous mark by almost a minute. This achievement is particularly impressive considering the notorious difficulty of the game, which has challenged players since its release.
Much more faster than the previous brand
Olzku has used a variety of clever tactics to speed up his progress, avoiding unnecessary fights and taking advantage of game glitches. From the beginning, his handling of the game is remarkable; quickly defeating Gundyr and avoiding most enemies that could slow down his time. As he progresses, the run transforms into a true spectacle, with moments of skill that seem to defy the very mechanics of the game.
One of the highlights occurs in the Wolnir area, where Olzku uses a trick that allows him to exit the map, thus saving a significant amount of time. This not only demonstrates the malleability of the game’s design, but also adds a comedic element to what would otherwise be a formidable challenge. Later, during the confrontation with Aldrich, Olzku’s character becomes invisible, except for the torch he carries, allowing him to float in the air, adding a new dimension to the speedrun.
This new record has raised the question among speedrunning community enthusiasts: how much more can this time be improved? With the challenge of surpassing the now established 25-minute barrier, the community may be ready to work on optimizing routes and gameplay strategies. The full video of Olzku’s feat is highly recommended for those looking for a new perspective on the famous difficulty of Dark Souls 3; it will surely change the way its fearsome bosses are viewed.
