A youtuber who goes by the alias Oginam_tv currently hold the record for beating From Software’s Bloodborne in 44 minutes, which at the time of this writing is the fast time to beat the game which has been hailed as notoriously difficult.
Although the playthrough did rely on a glitch, the video’s description states:
“This run makes use of a duplication glitch involving a second character’s stash inventory (that character is made during the run to show it) and a very early skip into a later part of the game (just jumping over a fence really). This was a pretty good run but I can certainly get faster.”
What’s a speed run without a few exploits anyways, either way it is still an impressive run to see in action.
UPDATE:
Well it seems like that was short lived, as another speedrunner on the youtube account Lobos Jr toppled this run with in 43 minutes and 13 seconds. You can watch that stream here
