I'd be concerned there might be launch arguments you used for modded or something that aren't compatable with 1221?

that wouldn't be a problem

(loading into the 110% file could be a problem, but having it is not a problem)

#

i also have eternal ordeal title screen on

formal bough
#

At what point in the process is it not launching

sly plinth
#

i click play, the button turns blue, but the game just doesn't appear on my taskbar

#

it doesn't even show up

#

and then the button turns green again

#

It’s gonna automatically use Grimm troupe title screen iirc

i dont have any mods enabled, so i don't see why those would cause anything

#

im new to speedrunning

#

Im just going for the 20 hour achievement

#

right now

#

I am wondering what skips are prioritized

dawn junco
#

I feel like 20h is easy

static drum
#

I havent done it yet

#

I took too long exploring

#

I was gonna do blue lake skip but havent tried it yet

dawn junco
#

As long as you know where stuff are you are completely fine

#

Don’t need to do any skips

static drum
#

I did basic greenpath skips

#

Ah

#

I was kinda hoping any% would work for 20hours initially

formal bough
#

you can do whatever and make 20h

static drum
#

says 100%

formal bough
#

yeah

static drum
#

Its been a long break from hollow knight

formal bough
#

especially since dlc means you can skip 12%

static drum
#

yeah but I still need all charms??

#

inclusing masks/vessels? i cant really remember

#

Else I'd just rush to dreamers and go for first ending

formal bough
#

I mean yeah 100% is more than any%

static drum
#

oh

formal bough
#

the point is more that if you're looking at a map and not spending hours dying to bosses, any route works

static drum
#

Thanks to HoG bosses are easy

formal bough
#

then, if you're looking at a map for where everything is, I'd be more surprised if you fail 20h 100%

#

and you can absolutely grab regular speedrun 2 in 5h on the way

static drum
#

this is technically my first speedrun. I mean I am at 8 hours in or so and got dreamers unlocked

#

could be less

#

Crystal dash was my first priority

Question about silksong speedrunning: what if in the release patch route for silksong, speedrunners before going through wormways went and grabbed the wanderers crest which is really close to the wormways? I don't know if that's a time save or not since there's an enemy arena where the crest is located.

vagrant warren
#

If you want to make route suggestions you may want to join the pinned server as that's where more of the active runners are

queen verge
#

Ok.

thorn jasper
drifting needle
#

wait.. why is there only one channel for speedrunning both hk and sk.. shouldn't both be separate?

formal bough
#

There's an entire server for speedrunning

#

In that server, there is a separation

#

This channel mainly exists to answer quick questions and then to filter towards the actual server

#

Guys

#

I don't know if this has already been found but I found a way to inventory drop in current patch

#

Basically, while dashing, you press inventory in the middle of dashing but you can only drop off ledges with it at near the start of the animation

#

I found this out like 30 minutes ago but didn't bother testing to see if it increased fall speed till now

regal flame
#

Hk?

faint gust
#

has this already been found yet?

vagrant warren
#

yeah, that's known but good find!

faint gust

#

you have to press inv within a couple frames of walking off a ledge

#

yeah you don’t have to dash

knotty vigil
#

You can speed run this game that can piss me off in a Mater of 5 minutes?

Glitches are powerful

#

on console version (1.4.3.2) you can open inventory during a grounded dash so that's way easier than getting the tight timing for 1.5.78

hmmm

#

I've only done path of pain speedrun challenges in hk

#

haven't played most of act 3 in silksong

#

is there an equivalent in silksong?

hornet's moveset is very diverse so I hope there's a super hard path of pain typa detour somewhere

is there some hidden trick to perform the acid skip to Isma's, or is it just that I need to be precise with my dash?

#

ah, I just wasn't low enough

mint mist
#

for the first cdash you can buffer two dashes off the platform above
for the second one you can line your cdash up with the rock texture to be able to full jump out of the corner, or you can cancel a lower cdash and transdash out of it

#

I want to use TAS to learn to beat my record, does anyone know how to use it?

I was doing a bingo, and spent 25 minutes trying to perform the skip as somebody with no speedrunning experience, only to give up and get it the intended way in like 3 minutes

#

this can be pushed to sub 2 hours rather comfortably but for sub 1 you need to implement more tech

#

i would recommend gradually introducing more skips to the run

#

you can look at what other runners use and copy their movement

#

then when you feel comfortable move to a harder/faster route

@misty meteor also check out the speedrunning server it has tons of resources. you can also always ping me

Ok try this route then :

this is for 1.2.2.1

What patch?

Gtg eat will be back soon

vagrant warren

... there's no acid in deepnest. What's ismas for?

bitter jewel
vagrant warren
#

Ping isn't needed thanks. And if someone struggles with qga they can just enter deepest from fungal. Much faster than going to get ismas

bitter jewel
vagrant warren
#

Then again: how does ismas help with deepnest?

bitter jewel
vagrant warren
#

Entering from fungal only takes 40 seconds more than qga and passes less enemies lol

bitter jewel
#

The not that much time sure but it passes more enemies iirc

#

Also more convoluted pathing

vagrant warren

It's really not & you also skip all the qg petras including the arena

There may be several routes on split maker, also may be some revised routes in the speedrun server. But most runners don't split in every single individual item in 112

You need to go through hunters march to get dash, then buy the simple key from Pebb, go through wormways and get to shellwood.

For the achievement, probably

The biggest timeloss is just dying, if you're following a route

and it's hard to know how much you'd die

(Also you don't need reaper crest for mist route if you're willing to grab cloak, but it's funny if you don't true)

Or the other way around. But that's freaky

The only thing your movement hand can cover too is healing cuz you can't move during it and it's not directional.

lethal nebula
#

Question to the 100% speedrunners, when getting Clawline, which route do you guys take, Whiteward or fight Trobbio? I don't want to look up the speedruns because I'm trying to create my own

#

I'm also trying to get 3 achievements as well, which is why I'm making my own route instead of looking up for one

steady lynx
#

100% goes through Whiteward and then fights Trobbio later

lethal nebula
#

Do you also need to get the save file to 90% completion before getting the Wish that lets you use the Needolin on GMS?

steady lynx
#

Nope, just the 17 wish points plus required wishes plus fleatopia, plus Trails end

And house key

Everyone here is practically a master when it comes to beating the pantheon

#

That's why I'm asking for advice here

steady lynx
#

Descending Dark is practically overpowered casually, just use it to get out of tight situations

#

It doesn't have iframes, it has iseconds

pearl moat
#

So when exactly do you use it?

steady lynx
#

It's a learning process

pearl moat
steady lynx
#

Oh, also, I think stuff like Mark of Pride is good casually, and fragile heart

pearl moat
#

Or one

#

I'm not sure

steady lynx
#

My autocorrect really wanted me to write Mark of Priidik
@idle cypress

pearl moat
#

I'm using shaman stone, quickslash and unbreakable strength

#

So that makes it what now 9 notches?

steady lynx
#

Yeah, I'd get all the notches before even considering pantheons

pearl moat
#

How many can I get in total

steady lynx
#

11 is the normal max

pearl moat
steady lynx
#

There's four at Salubra, you start with 3, one in colo, one in Fog Canyon and one in Shrumal Wastes... I'm blanking on the last one

Does Grimm give you one?

That's a good point actually thanks for pointing that out

Need some advice on the speedrun. Do you recommend to buy the lantern to get the dive upgrade or just run in the dark

drowsy egret
#

Under 5 hours

light fossil
#

oh ic ic

#

how much time u at

drowsy egret
#

46 mins. Rough start because of monsters stuff

#

At the crystal place to get the heart. Plan was to get the dive upgrade next.

light fossil
#

oh usually what I do is

#

I go get dive first then go crustal which lets me get decsending dark

#

well I guess I used to...

drowsy egret
#

What change

hidden sundial
#

You don't really need dive at all for 5h achievement

#

You get Dash, Claw, Lantern, CDash and dreamers. Wings, Isma and spells in general are optional.

lethal nebula
#

What path do you guys take when getting to The Slab?

#

Or do you open the door from the Citadel?

formal bough
#

For speedrunning, getting captured is pretty much never worth so we always open the door from the citadel

light fossil
#

cause I got slightly better at the game

manic dew
#

Can someone recommend a speedrunning category that's not too hard, not too long, and quite fun please ?

light fossil

like do you plan to compete or do it just for fun

#

cause then I prefer any nmg

manic dew
#

I plan to compete, but by difficulty I mean nothing too hard.

light fossil

it takes about 40-50 mins

manic dew
#

I like it, but there's the acid skip; I plan to do it someday, but I'd really like a fun and short speedrun as a secondary activity.

light fossil
#

then idk mabye soul master speedrun or NKG

#

I know NKG% is a catogory, not sure about soul master lol

manic dew
#

ok thanks

light fossil
#

np, sorry I couldn't help too much cause the only one have done is p1 and any%nmg

mint mist
#

most of the short speedruns are very hard and practice intensive

#

any% and all skills are the best beginner categories imo, bc they’re on the shorter side and don’t have super big difficulty spikes (ibaldur exempt)

lethal nebula
#

I did a check on my pathing and found that the door (the one in the yellow circle) that is usually locked from one side is already opened when I got there when I know I didn't open it before hand.

Does the door automatically open when I enter from Sinner's Road?

cinder folio

@dragneelarg how's the video going? I'm curious to watch it 😄

So likely it's doing something specific. Beating cogwork dancer's maybe, or accepting some quest in songclave

i think that one is accepting the jubilana wish

the rationale is that jubilana goes through and opens that door from her wandering around

you just kinda hold left and start holding cdash after the wallcling animation/sound

you can’t do it if you have isma’s

manic dew

it’s so hard

just walk off the ledge, you get a 4 frames window to press cdash, make sure to don't press it too early bc cdash cant be buffered, and don't press jump too early after hitting the wall on the other side
