Runner introduction starts at 2:30 Run starts at 4:45 Commentary is provided by HYP3RSOMNIAC, hazeblade and spicee CovertMuffin is host

The Carian Knight literally galaxy brained to keep Renala safe. 100/10.

Cata is one of the best souls speedrunners out there especially due to his amazing description of everything. Love his vids. Great run Cata!

That sprint to $3 million was simply incredible

This guy is hands down one of the best runners I've had the privilege of watching in terms of how he describes what he is doing. I am a huge Elden Ring fan and I'm quite new to the Souls community, so hearing how exactly he pulls off the glitches and how he has routed the run is just phenomenal. Elden Ring was my first FromSoft experience and I've played DS1, DS3 and Bloodborne since completing it. When you begin to get involved in new games and their communities it can be daunting but runners like this make it easy to get involved. Fantastic run!

The chandelier at 1:05:30 had immaculate comedic timing.

Great run and great explanations by the runner as he goes, it's nice to know why he's doing what he's doing instead of just the usual " ok im using this glitch now"

"souls mumma" is so wholesome. there's a wonderful parent that supports their child in what they love to do

When the player is so energetic and entertaining you forget a panel of commentators are even there.

Love to see Catalystz back. Without his DS Remastered run at GDQ 3 years ago I wouldn't have found these runners and GDQ itself. A lot of good times to be had. If he comes back to GDQ again I'll have to donate during his run for sure.

so hype they hit the 3 mil mark again this year. Never get tired of tuning into these, and love seeing the new games added to the streams.

Cata being crushed by that chandelier is the hardest I've EVER laughed at a speedrun. The comedic timing was too good

Amazing commentary!

Great run. I would like to see Cata again at GDQ!

The mad dash to 3 million mere minutes before the cutoff was simply divine

What a great run, thank you very much. The crowd and couch were awesome as well and gave the run amazing atmosphere.

Love your attention to detail and content Cata, particularly the occasional European slip. Great run!

One of the most entertaining runs ive seen. Props to Cata, amazing runner and commentary.

As others have said, incredible player commentary. Twenty five minutes in so far, and for me this ranks with Cardinal's Dragon Warrior run and whoever it was did the solo white mage Final Fantasy run years ago for fun and informative, only there's so much content to go still. Looking forward to the rest.

How awesome would of been to be there, congrats on a great week and amazing marathon. Way to go chat !

Such an amazing run and gdq cant wait for the next one.

cata is easily the best commentator. he explains things so clearly and in such detail too. i love all his runs

Alexander going out with a pun. What an absolute legend.

That was simply beautiful. Thank you everyone for this!

Great run and great commentary, amazing of the runner to be able to explain stuff so well and still being able to play without problems

i like how the screen froze during the elden beast fight "we do this and that and then: hes dead" game unfreezes 😂😂

Oh god... it's been a while catalystz.. one of my favourite speedrunner

Loved hearing Cata talk about the strats. This was a super entertaining watch!

One of the best self narrators I've ever seen. Rare for someone to talk so much but keep it all relevant and comforting. Well done, honestly amazing gamer.

This was so fun to watch I myself haven't played much but I absolutely love Elden Ring

I'm really glad for Cata's second appearance on GDQ. Gr8 commentary, gr8 play. Luv u Cata.

I have never seen the donation total shoot up that fast before. This is why I love the Speedrun community

As a Canadian, can confirm Consecrated Snowfield looks like Canada. Either in winter in a really windy place where snow doesn't accumulate all that much because it gets blown away or in the first big blizzard of the year. Once snow has a chance to accumulate, you tend not to see the plants it buried until spring unless you care to start digging. As a person living in Coastal BC: not all of Canada looks like that in winter. There's lots of variation in terrain to get snowed on, it's not always white-out conditions (where there's so much snow in the air you can't see the ground) and if you're lucky enough to live in my neck of the woods, it's mostly wet rather than snowy.

You're so good at commentate while speedrunning at agdq Cata damn. Discover you when you did the DS1 all bosses speedrun at agdq few years ago and already you blew my mind with how you could explain the tricks while playing. And you're not even english native. Congrats to you, you're seems a very cool guy, ggs. :)

Wow that final push bright tears to my eyes

such an amazing runner and preformer

Really happy to see catalystz back, still love his DS1 Run from back in the day.

Let's goooo! Thanks for the content

FINALLY. THIS IS AMAZING!!

Speed runners are truly amazing

Let's go Cata, what a run

Just look at the crowd! awesome.

1:39:11 I'm sad no one appreciated Cata's Snake Eater joke

When I saw Haligtree I got so hyped Malenia is my fav boss of all times amazing speedrun so well explained

In the dungeon behind the Radahn arena, at the very bottom of the main area up the back there is a chest with the old Dark Souls style model. I was 100% sure that would be the one and only mimic in the game, but I was disappointed to find out it wasn't D:

Great run

2:04:22-2:17:57: Greatest moment in GDQ history! I CRIED! 😭

My man playing the game and couch commentating at the same time, what a legend

AUUUUGHHH ITS HERE YESS MY ELDEN IS READY TO RING

That was the most cartoony death ever @ 01:05:40. Lmfaooo

58:37 I only just noticed the GDQ staff flashed "Close Call" over the timer for that boss fight when the boss can't even attack. 😂

Cata so good at commentating he doesn't even need the three guys sitting behind him

The Return of the King Cata. You love to see it!

Love Cata, his Dark Souls runs are so fun!

Been waiting for some more sweet Soulsborne-content from GDQ. Great stuff from the runner and couch! catalystz demolishing Dark Souls at SGDQ2019 is one of my all-time favorite runs, and this ending is riiiight up there.

Let chaos take the world. LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!! Amazing run Cata :)

The Morgot fight was epic

Lessgo! I've missed Cata's runs!

I just beat my first ever playthrough of Elden ring at 120+ hours and now I get to watch it get slammed in 2? Heckin yea let's go guys

cata recover his strats like a boss :D ... Good job

Great run, I always appreciate some wrestling references.

Have to give shout outs to the Punk Shirt, but you know I gotta love that Danhausen myself!

And here I am taking 150h. Impressive run.

I got flashbacks in this mist area. I remember ds 2 and horses. :-D but nice Run.

Shoutout to the stall% Though really, I'm very happy that amount of money was raised so quickly for MSF.

33:53 Yep, this is basically my framerate around Caria Manor.

Hope to see a "Use this specific weapon" type runs on future Elden Ring appearance in GDQ

lets gooo catalystz

awesome run! But there is a post credits cutscene for that ending! It should have let it play for more time!

The funniest sequence I've ever seen from a GDQ starts at 1:03:55 and goes until 10:05:56. The shield ruined everything, indeed.

Awesome

Cata is so good, lessgooo

You know you're here for the hypest fight in the run Malenia starts at 1:41:11

Moments like the 3 mil make me proud to be a gamer

47:21 was fun: i cannot do anything while these skulls are activated alright that's more skulls from my boy Lionel and more skulls from my boy Lionel gonna run thru them and more skulls from my boy Lionel and more skulls from my boy Lionel (doublecast)

"give you a hell yeah?'' well, HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!

21:05 I tried that jump for an hour and couldn't do it once.

Amazing how easy a good runner can make it all look!

I have absolutely no clue how, but I got the misbegotten parry haligtree skip first try and I'm not even a speedrunner lmao. I just saw it and I thought it was interesting.

that chandelier

30:41 hey i found this skip :))

Loving the cm punk shirt!

Did anyone notice that when he was fighting mohg, the rkr didn’t boost his damage? He was doing the same damage something around 4200 I wonder if the but was actually working at all

"95% of people don't play this game for lore" meanwhile Vaatividya gets tons of views.

Speedrunning Elden Ring in a CM Punk shirt...I like this guy.

shoutouts to the Punk shirt

Imagine a mimic dungeon with ofc mimic chest boss 😳✌🏻

I like catalystz's choice of shirt

Catalyst is great

Cata the GOAT

@26:30. We devoured the boss TOGETHAAA!

this is a fact that all souls players are so cool and fun to watch

Seeing him beat Malenia in one go felt both cathartic and horrifying

nice

my boi Cata

how much do the strats change on the game's current patch since a lot of things were removed or nerfed

This is truly the Dark Souls of Fromsoft Games.

Solid Malenia fight @ 1:41:19

드디어 엘든링이 gdq에

Just wish there was a speedrun guide out there. I'm somewhat of a minimalist and would like more knowledge.
