What I find most impressive about the speedrun of niko is how skilled it is. He employed a few tricks, one of which resets enemies, but keeps your position by swiftly closing the race. However, niko proved to Elden Ring Runes be not a slouch. The majority of enemies were defeated within a few seconds and boss battles did not last longer than 10 or more minutes. This is what I like most about FromSoftware games: watching people who have a solid understanding of the genre completely take them down.
So far as I can discern, the niko's no death Elden Ring speedrun is the fastest speedrun ever posted. The website Speedrun that lists the games played and the time that speedrunners finish the games in, doesn't have any information in relation to Elden Ring right now. There are some YouTube videos of other athletes who are speedrunning quicker than niko, for instance one who claimed to beat the game in a little less than an hour, however nobody has beaten niko's death run. At least, not yet.
