#Speedrun strats

[zolanort]

“New rule. No one pushes anyone into lava for any reason.” Time glared at the trio avoiding his gaze, “and that goes for you three especially. Just because your animations are funny doesn’t mean everyone else’s are too.”

Scene from The Consequences of Falling in Lava as a Videogame Character by @tachvintlogic

This one genuinely makes me laugh every time

Also I encountered an interesting glitch during my playthrough, I managed to move Isa???

I did it a second time later on when talking to Mira in the snack room leading to floor 2, and I managed to make it out of the door, though Mira didn’t come with.

The leaving dialogue stacked with the convo, and it let me zone out in the overworld AND I THINK IN A CONVO THAT YOU CAN’T ZONE OUT DURING??? It was the convo for picking up the key in the journal for the final floor.

I think it’s related to holding a direction during a break in the dialogue while zoning out??? Maybe??? That’s my best theory. I also had autorun on, just in case that’s relevant.

This could be a speedrun strat??? It wore off after I think the star crest sadness, but I don’t remember exactly. Skipping convos you can’t normally seems useful. Idk. Could also be PS5 exclusive, but idk that’s just what platform I’m playing on, so maybe.

Here’s a video, (ignore my befuddled voice, I’ve done no voice training and I had only been awake for like an hour)

in a newly discovered speedrun exploit by a couple of real wizards in the community, it turns out your party members don't actually switch to "voidfished" (the condition where they ignore all your instructions and advice) until almost the end of the static cutscene. so you can actually use some frame-perfect inputs while a certain scene is loading to instruct a party member to attack you, and if you make sure your HP is low enough going in, this will kill you. the death sequence gets prioritized and it cancels the memory wipe, but it still counts the scene as "completed" and you start the next part with all your abilities and memory logs still accessible.

unfortunately even with this exploit nobody's figured out how to make the next bit take any less than ten years, so we're still trying to figure out how to make this useful. but it's pretty cool nonetheless!

Out of curiosity, what was your route for the 10/5 hour achievements? Did u get extra mask shards or abilities or charms? As someone who recently completed those, I’m really interested in how other ppl did it.

(Btw u can answer this publicly if u want)

This charm setup, plus 1 extra mask and 1 nail upgrade.

More under cut:

Run order:

Crossroads (False Knight, Gruz Mother, Sly, Salubra)

Greenpath (Hornet/Dash)

Fungal (Mantis Claw)

City (Soul Master/D.Dive, Broken Vessel/Wings, Dung Defender/Isma's Tear + detour to Kingdom's Edge for Quickslash + easy geo)

Stag to Dirtmouth, buy lantern

Peaks (Crystal Dash, D.Dark)

Fall to Resting Grounds, get Dreamnail

Stag to Dirtmouth, then Crossroads to Canyon (Monomon)

Canyon to Queen's Station to Fungal to Deepnest (Herrah)*

Stag from Distant Village to King's Station (Lurien)

Stag to Dirtmouth, then THK.

*Guides often told me to get to Deepnest through Queen's Gardens, but I ain't touching the Gardens with a ten foot pole. Screw those mantises.

Other points of interest:

Grabbed relics, geo and bought what I could along the way.

Dive was the only spell I upgraded; I did not get any upwards spells at all.

I already had the muscle memory to one-shot most of the bosses; I put in extra practice for the Watcher Knights in Godhome in a separate save.

Watched guides on YouTube for extra help. (A video on the different pre-attack movements of the Watcher Knights helped quite a lot.)

Benched often and kept track of the map on my phone so as to not get lost (still did, a couple of times...)

Getting all the movement skills before the Dreamers definitely helped.

Prioritized healing over dealing damage in bossfights.

Muting the game and playing calm music helped reduce anxiety lol

Oh, you want to train a Ground-ghost type one day? Well, no more waiting, cus I got a Galarian Yamask egg!

*Gives Rika the egg*

You might need to go to Galar to evolve it but it's better then probably getting sand everywhere so yeah-

Anon if you're sure about this I'll do my best to take care of it.

Up at 5:00 am. It's -1 degree celcius outside for some god-forsaken reason. Slept like a log - a log being hurled down the Zambezi. And we've got a call with a mortgage advisor this evening. Yep. It's time to break out the coffee. Now, one of two things will happen; either I'll attain transcendence and get everything done in record time. OR. I'll vibrate in place uselessly for several hours like I'm building up speed to BLJ into a PU. Yahoo's optional.

Come with me on this journey Tumblr. Let's see what the universe has in store for this badly-stitched-together birb.

Thanks to everyone who both everyone that said it was okay to spam-boop and everyone who actually used the boop-o-meter tag. I am currently almost one hundred boops away from MAX… In under one or two hours this time.

And I couldn’t have done it without y’all. Thanks for the generosity.
