What is the Bloodhound’s Fang Route?
The Bloodhound’s Fang route in Elden Ring speedrunning requires playing the game so that you gain the powerful Bloodhound’s Fang early on. You start by traveling to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol, defeating the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil, and obtaining the Bloodhound’s Fang. This weapon is a deathtrap because of its high damage output and unique moveset, which makes it the ideal speedrunning tool. From here onwards, players usually upgrade the weapon right away.
