*Concierse

​@@mydemon in English it's concierge pal

thanks :) currently over 29k :p most resets happen in the first 30 seconds though. still, i have well over a thousand hours into this one category alone, i reckon, if not much more.

It's kind of a long explanation on how it works, but basically what happens is that on patch 2.4, lightspeed is broken where if you use it ones and wait for 8 seconds, what happen is that the blue dash should turn back to the yellow/red one, for the cooldown is 8 seconds long, instead, on this patch it does do that, but it saves the second dash that you didn't use before. What this means is that you now have unlinked the skill and you'll be able to use it multiple times in a row, which, as you can see, totally breaks the game. :D

I was gonna ask why you didn’t need the symmetrical lance, but then I realized that HotK doesn’t put the forcefield around the king until you trigger the fight, and I guess it isn’t hard-coded into the scene. Props to the devs for realism I guess?

@@creativelibertiesweretaken3366 instantly teleporting and executing a king should, in theory at least, work. Props to devs for realism indeed haha

So it's only available on fresh file right? While playing game with 1~5 boss cells, can we use this trick too?

Good question, I think you should be able to use it on every run, as long as you bypass the fight trigger, but I'm not 100% sure on that.@@eloguer

In this category, we always look for a balanced blade, for it seems to be the best overall choice from what's available from a fresh file, but anything can work really, boss fights and the elites on High Peak Castle only make up a relatively small part of the run, as long as you deal enough damage, it can be done fast with a lot of builds. If you meant weapons in the game over all though, there are so many strong weapons in the game currently, you'd do well just trying some out and finding what suits you best. Pretty much all weapons can be extremely strong if you just figure them out. :)

The RNG is great on this run. There were some biomes that could've had a faster layout like ramparts or prisoners quarters, but overall a 9/10 I'd say. What could've been better if I was to get synergies on the build. This would make the fights a bit quicker, but this one wasn't bad either. I think it took me close to 35000 attempts for this run, and I'm still attempting runs regularly to try end get a sub 8 min time, though this is proving to be really hard.

That's amazing, thanks for sharing. Again, nice work and congratulations.

yeah pretty much, it also gives me a breather from the pressure, i suppose :D

there are some hints that indicate what the correct path is. there is a guide on speedrun.com that goes into it in more detail, if you'd like to learn more :)

Skipping the vine rune is kinda hard to explain. It involves a coyote jump (this is done by quickly pressing attack->jump at the last moment before you're about to walk off a platform), this essentially gives you an extra jump, follow this with a regular, well timed double jump, then for the ending you do what we call a samus roll, this can be done by pressing attack->roll in quick succsession. It will give you a horizontal straight roll. Note that both these (coyote jump and samus roll) do not work with every weapon. The way you can tell is by checking if the weapon has air-stall/hangtime, most of these weapons will do, for example Electric Whip or Throwing Knife, but not, for example Rusty Sword or Twin Daggers. Also, skipping vine is rng dependent. Sometimes (around ~40% of the time, if I had to guess) there's no structure high enough next to it for you to jump across from, and without extra jumps, these are unskippable. For those that are skippable, for about 70/80% of them, you need a speedboost to get across, for most of those, rhe small speedboost will get you dar enough, but for some, you need the full speedboost (so kill 5 enemies for the small, and iirc another 5 for the full speedboost) Now for the dash with Assault shield. This is very easy, you just tab shield and immediately hold roll for a second or so. I suggest looking at my controller overlay, to see how I time them (this is also helpful for the timings regarding vine skip btw). But I bet you'll figure it out in no time. I just swipe my thumb from the triangle button (shield) to circle button (roll). Tips to improve overall. Tbh, just play what you feel works for you. Don't feel pressure to unlock a whole bunch of stuff immediately. This will only make the weapon pool even bigger and more confusing, imo. Also put as many cells into the legendary forge as possible, getting higher level gear is huge. Hope this helps you out some what. :)

@@NanoTyrannus this reply has only showed off how f*cked up speedruning is hah i wouldnt imagine spendin thousands of hours just to discover that you can reset jump in certain situations.anyway good job man and keep up , wish u the best

Mostly to help calm my nerves really. Talking to the corpse (right before the health fountain) are 8 torturous seconds where the nerves and shakiness really go crazy because you have 8 seconds to think about what's at stake. I have over a thousand hours and are closing in on 30K attempts currently in this category alone, so healing there, helps me get back in sync a little bit, if that makes sense.

Nah, this is from a fresh save and you first need to unlock "custom mode" before you can set seeds. As for rng manip, there is none, all maps and items are predetermined, based on the seed. But I guess the setup I do for Time Keeper is sort of rng manip, but it requires a wolf trap, high enough damage and tight game play for it to be consistent, so I wouldn't call it a manip, more then I'd call it a strat. (basically the setup makes it so when you roll through, while she is in the wolf trap. If you deal enough damage, she will always move towards the left wall, when she breaks out of the first trap, straight into the other one, rooting her twice essentially, which obviously saves a lot of time over chasing her around the arena) Damn, I'm sorry for this homework text. I put so much time into this, that I'm always eager to explain stuff, excessively :D

It's kind of a long explanation on how it works, but basically what happens is that on patch 2.4, lightspeed is broken where if you use it ones and wait for 8 seconds, what happens is that the blue dash should turn back to the original yellow/red color (because the window to use it again expires after 8 seconds), instead, on this patch it does do that, but it saves the second dash that you didn't use before. What this means is that you now have unlinked the skill and you'll be able to use it multiple times in a row, which, as you can see, totally breaks the game. :D

you tab the shield button, immediately followed by holding roll. so, for example for me, i use a ps5 controller, so i swipe my thumb from triangle to circle. it's pretty easy ones you get the rhythm down. you can see my inputs on the top right btw, this might help figuring it out, but i doubt you'll need it because it's very easy :)

@@NanoTyrannus ty man

mostly to calm myself down a bit i guess :D i know that doesn't make much sense, but having so many hours and attempts in it, when you talk to the corps on pb pace (just before the health fountain), the nerves really start to kick in. i guess it helps bridging mandatory pause from having to talk to the corps, to directly having to do the skip setup. also, i think if you heal on an early frame, it actually saves a fraction of a second, because the timer pauses during the animation.

This happens when you press shield and roll at the same time

Patch 2.4 "What's the Damage"

i also have the record for 5bc nmg :p

Bro you must be the only person who is on 3bc ever frfr . How lonely are you on top ?
