AGDQ 2025 Featured an Elden Ring Speedrun on the Sax
Dr. Doot, streamer and Souls series challenge runner, took on Elden Ring's bosses during Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 in a sub-30-minute run. Defeating bosses like Radahn, Hoarah Loux and Malenia, Dr. Doot took on some of the fiercest bosses in the game not with a controller but an electronic Aerophone AE-10 saxophone. Awesome Games Done Quick 2025, the charity speed running event that raises money for charity initiatives with a full week of video game, featured runs of everything from Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Deus Ex, and Metal Gear Solid. This saxophone-controlled Elden Ring run was a special incentive for the event raising $1,500,000 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Dr. Doot's run, on the Aerophone electronic saxophone, boiled down to him playing various notes on the saxophone to correspond with various actions. He could only do one thing at a time, by making a different midi "doot" sound on the saxophone. Dr. Doot has used this alternative control method to fight bosses in Dark Souls III, Sekiro and Elden Ring. Additionally, he has completed full runs without getting hit once by any of the main game's bosses while playing the saxaphone. The run ran 29 minutes and 22 seconds with Dr. Doot defeating Rykard, Radahn, The Fire Giant, Gideon Ofnir, Radagon, and the Elden Beast without taking any damage. The main items used in the run were the Star Fist for its intense posture damage and bleed. The only fights in the run that managed to hit Dr. Doot were Godfrey, the First Elden Lord and Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who became legendary in the community for being one of the hardest fights in FromSoftware history. FromSoftware will also be provide new challenges to players in the upcoming spinoff: Elden Ring: Nightreign. This multiplayer-focused stand-alone adventure will release in 2025, with a Network Test on the way in February. Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X. It's expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree is also available on all platforms. Elden Ring: Nightreign, the stand-alone co-op spinoff, will release later in 2025.
