Regardless of the category being ran, runners must never let their FPS go above 60, once again, for fairness.

FPS can go down to any value the runner desires, wherever in the run. In Unrestricted categories, runners are required to lock their FPS to 60 using MSI Afterburner / Rivatuner and also display their framerate in their videos.FPS must never go down via malicious uses such as abusing PrintScreen, for fairness. In Restricted categories, runners are required to lock their FPS to 60 using MSI Afterburner / Rivatuner and also display their framerate in their videos.Disclaimer: If there was no RTA no load time provided, regular RTA will be used instead.Quitouts, ALT+F4s and crashes are all fair to finish runs as they are mainly timelosses with Dark Souls II's RTA no load being the timing method. Runners have to start the timer during the loading screen before the first cutscene in Things Betwixt and stop the timer on the first frame of the screen being completely black after killing Nashandra / Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin (Aldia is obviously tied to All Bosses).Runners are required to use and show the RTA No Load timer in the VOD of their submissions. Runs are timed using RTA No Load using the RTA No Load plugin available in LiveSplit.The leaderboards for this category are available here. The world record is 2:20:04 RTA no load by EnsgMaster ( ). Using other programs to affect the game or editing the game code is not allowed apart from a few exceptions allowed by the community. Glitches, skips and sequence breaks are all allowed. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin All Bosses is a speedrun category in which the player tries to complete the game as fast as possible while also killing all enemies that are considered a boss (see below for a list of all bosses).
