Distortion2, one of the biggest Elden Ring and Souls games speedrunners, has put up a $10,000 bounty for completing the new Rune Level One DLC% category. The challenge is to clear all Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance bosses without leveling up and using only weapons located in the DLC itself.

The category will also require players to not level up Scadutree Blessings without beating the bosses themselves. Distortion2 said how “Rune level one wasn’t hard enough,” due to the strength offered by base game weapons even if a player removed leveling from their build, prompting him to allow only DLC weapons for the bounty. Runs will not start in the base game either, so don’t worry about having to go with your bare fists for hours in the Lands Between. Rather, everyone will load up a save file that will locate them at the very start of the DLC.
