idek

haughty fossil
#

the video is also smaller on a phone

torpid pollen
#

yeah idek how it works

#

dont listen to me sorry

limpid ruin
#

Its still the same amount of pixels in software, its just spread over more pixels on a smaller screen

#

so less aliasing et al, but if something just isnt viewable using a smaller screen wont help apolLol

low trellis
#

Also i have problem with livesplit

#

at fullscreen my obs dont catch it

haughty fossil
#

try changing the capture mode for your source in obs

low trellis
#

at the programm i see it but on video it looks like lens

#

on place where is livesplit

limpid ruin
#

can you upload like a 5 second clip of what you mean?

low trellis
#

hmm

#

5 -10 min

#

I guess it cathes normally when livesplit above hollow knight

#

so i downloaded program that get livesplit above

#

and it works

#

sometimes programm isnt need

#

i guess it is random

#

sometimes livesplit gets above, sometimes not

#

now it above

haughty fossil
#

it depends on the order in which you open livesplit and hk

#

or something

stuck raptor
#
  1. turn off fullscreen in game options
  2. add "-popupscreen" to game launch options in steam or GoG
  3. make sure "always on top" option on livesplit is selected
low trellis
#

so i get it

ionic sparrow
#

pressing alt+enter also switches applications from fullscreen to windowed

#

toggles between the two rather

low trellis
#

it looks like lens

limpid ruin
# low trellis it looks like lens

Like mick and pest said, do this:

  1. turn off fullscreen in game options OR pressing alt+enter in-game
  2. add "-popupscreen" to game launch options in steam or GoG
  3. make sure "always on top" option on livesplit is selected
low trellis
#

GoG is what?

stuck raptor
#

a game store

limpid ruin
#

GoG Galaxy

#

do you own the game?

low trellis
#

yes

#

but my stem is "eating" CPU so i play on pirat version

#

steam*

digital jewel
limpid ruin
#

that sounds unlikely

low trellis
#

dont understand

haughty fossil
#

steam does very little at runtime comparative to how much the game does

#

unless you're letting steam download updates in the background or something it has almost no perf impact

low trellis
#

now i try your advices on steam version

#

Hi, I'm new. I'm just curious if I can watch Fireb0rn's tutorial videos for NMG if I'm on console with current patch?

#

He mentions downpatching to 1.2.2.1 or whichever patch is the most optimal which I obviously cannot do.

stuck raptor
#

nope. it will be blocked in your region

#

it knows your mind

#

can't watch

versed elbow
carmine yew
#

They will still be very helpful yes

snow dome
#

Some of the things in there won't be quite right, but most of it will be

#

The main differences are Explosion Pogo, Watcher's Spire Lever Skip, and Uumuu.

neon island
#

You cannot inventory drop in midair, thorn warps have been patched, and you won't be able to do minor glitches.

snow dome
#

E-Pogo is very, very different.
Spire Lever Skip is impossible and you need to kill the Husk Guard.
Uumuu has more health so you can't kill it in two cycles

neon island
#

Inventory drops will have to be as you walk off a ledge, you have a 1/50 frame window to do it

#

Does Uumuu have more health?

#

I thought it was just that he bounces around more

raven holly
#

Uumuu doesn't have more health he's just harder to get the 150 damage cycle on

snow dome
#

Oh, okay. I always thought it was just increased health and didn't get stuck

haughty fossil
#

its just the latter

versed elbow
#

That explains quite a bit. I watched one of the runs when I started having the idea to try running the game and I was wondering why I couldn't emulate the inventory drop thing into casual play

limpid ruin
versed elbow
#

Is there a secondary option to explosion pogo in spots where it's used?

raven holly
#

There is a version of explosion pogo for current patch, but most people just go around and get into mantis village the other way

limpid ruin
#

there's two versions, one is "free" you just have to turn on vsync and preferably have a 60fps screen (which you probably do), or play on console (i think?)
the other is called pantapogo, and has a couple guide vids in #resources right now, but no point in grinding that for console based on input handling ive heard

versed elbow
#

I play on Xbox One X

limpid ruin
#

the "free" version has a guide in the pins here, from emray. Its on switch, but might work on xbonex?

haughty fossil
#

going around loses around 30-40s

#

xbonex runs at 60fps right?

versed elbow
#

Yes

raven holly
#

Don't worry about doing epogo right away to start with, but it's worth learning in the future when you want to go super speed

steady lynx
#

switch version works on all consoles since they all run the game at around 60fps

cinder bison
#

any benefit to going 60fps specifically or u just want it to be low?

steady lynx
#

switch dips to 40 in some rooms tho

haughty fossil
#

60fps gives more knockback

limpid ruin
#

^

haughty fossil
#

which allows cp epogo to work

limpid ruin
#

low fps makes pushback push more back ax2uHappy

steady lynx
#

knockback is fps dependant teamcherry ๐Ÿ

cinder bison
#

would a lower fps make it even more?

#

or something special about 60

jagged vault
#

technically yes

limpid ruin
#

I think, but itd be even more painful as well

steady lynx
#

The horrible rate switch runs the game at makes the trick very free

#

Even I can do it consistently and I suck at the game

versed elbow
#

I have the game on Switch and Xbox (Thanks Gamepass)

#

Would one be preferable?

steady lynx
#

Xbox has faster loads

haughty fossil
#

the game feels horrible at 60fps, worse at lower fps

steady lynx
#

They are different categories anyway

versed elbow
#

Doesn't the game have an auto-splitter that cuts out loads?

steady lynx
#

Only for PC

sturdy drum
#

cries in 2 runs just ended to pantapogo

versed elbow
#

I do have Livesplits from when I ran Super Mario Odyssey

#

Ohh

#

That only works on PC?

haughty fossil
#

the difference between 60 and 40fps is heavily noticable

raven holly
#

Yeah no autosplitter for consoles unfortunately

vagrant tree
#

hello, im new here and want to start speedrunning 112%. which of the channels do i go into for that?

steady lynx
#

It has guides?

vagrant tree
#

thank you very much

steady lynx
#

You can't type there without blue name which requires submitted run on src

ionic sparrow
#

src has the guides for 1xx categories

steady lynx
#

Might be a bit outdated

vagrant tree
#

ok. ill go check it out. thanks again

versed elbow
#

Is there a reason for me to run Livesplits for it then? Because I know the game gives you a time it took screen after you beat it.

haughty fossil
#

in game time doesn't work

steady lynx
#

valignatev's most recently finished run uses whichever route is currently used for 112

raven holly
#

In game timer is poopoo

versed elbow
#

So, Livesplits still best friend? Sweet

haughty fossil
#

livesplit is best friend always

versed elbow
#

Yea, if Odyssey taught me one thing it was that

leaden python
#

I would rather look at Monstah's latest 112 PB highlighted on twitch (it's not on src). It has all the recent stuff

cinder bison
#

ah ok

leaden python
#

Just watch through it and make your notes

steady lynx
#

Including storerooms bench?

leaden python
#

yes

#

and dreamgate skip before Cornifer's room in Greenpath

#

it doesn't have clockwise KE and late gruz, but it's like not a huge deal at all

steady lynx
#

Still not gonna do that on switch, feels like it'd be slower due to real time

leaden python
#

oh yeah, I can imagine that 1 dg on switch should be faster than 2 room loads

limpid ruin
#

i see kal, is this a new PoP rekky? ๐Ÿ‘€

leaden python
#

pausechamp

steady lynx
#

I'm not gonna spend too much time timing it since I'm the only one who runs console 112 anyway

leaden python
#

I'm pretty sure your intuition is correct Gusten

dusk timber
#

@limpid ruin zote

leaden python
#

not doing DG is faster by a bit more than a second, so RTA would probably be slower

#

faster by like 2 seconds if you're a gamer

#

*loadless

vagrant tree
#

what is the best way to record a run so it can be verified on the leaderboards

leaden python
#

PC or consoles Kraken?

vagrant tree
#

pc

steady lynx
#

Yeah, can't imagine it being faster real time then

versed elbow
#

You got OBS?

vagrant tree
#

no

haughty fossil
#

obs.

leaden python
steady lynx
#

I'd still have to see the sanctum bench stuff but four extra loading zones, that's like 12 seconds

leaden python
#

4? Isn't that only 3 extra?

hexed bobcat
#

Hi, referring to the part of the pinned message that mentions a lack of support for switch controllers in older patches of HK I was wondering if anyone had come up with a workaround to fix this? I've been attempting to make it work for the past half hour using a program that disguises the controller as an Xbox variant and both my OS and Steam are reading it as an Xbox controller yet HK still refuses to recognise it. I've also tested other games that don't support switch controllers and they've worked fine with the program, so seeing as this appears to be a HK specific problem for whatever reason I thought perhaps someone may know of some sort of solution.

haughty fossil
#

joytokey works

limpid ruin
#

oh yea blamblam, you can use an xinput reader of some sort to make the pc think its a keyboard

#

(or xbox controller)

steady lynx
#

Storeroom, shaft, zote room, sanctum

leaden python
#

ah yeah, it's four cuz you wait for the bench

haughty fossil
#

i tried x360ce, didn't work for me

leaden python
#

you don't exit/enter the room for the bench because waiting is faster RTA, right?

rugged crow
#

learn keyboard feelspkman

steady lynx
#

For that bench waiting is faster

leaden python
#

yeah, makes sense

hexed bobcat
#

Ah I see I've been using x360ce so far so I'll try joytokey, thanks for the tip. I don't own an xbox controller and using keyboard has been hurting my hand tbh lol

limpid ruin
#

joy2key or antimicro might work

steady lynx
#

In Basin and QG it's fastest to reload

leaden python
#

have you tried bench lookdown?

steady lynx
#

Several times, can't get it down

#

Em said after the dust settles

leaden python
#

idk cues, but I sometimes getting it randomly while going for it during practice valignWoozy

#

rando people def know what to do

steady lynx
#

If anyone knows the timings please tell

#

Would save an estimated hour Kappa

limpid ruin
#

isnt it just timing so your look down/back up animations line up with the toll/bench animations?

leaden python
steady lynx
#

Does anyone have a video of it?

dusk timber
limpid ruin
#

ds4windows is also an alternative

leaden python
#

ds4windows is really good

dusk timber
#

i wish ds4 windows would let users remap the touchpad that's on the dualshock

digital jewel
#

does ds4windows work for switch pro controller?

dusk timber
#

i think steam supports it

#

idk about ds4windows though

leaden python
#

why would ds4windows work for switch pro controllers? It's for playstation controllers

burnt grove
steady lynx
#

You barely notice it because switch does frame advancing in a way to mask it but the effective game framerate becomes 40 in some big rooms with lots of enemies

Dad has done some 107 runs but he's said he doesn't have time for the 4.5 hour run

Still having trouble getting fireball skips, need more practice

i dont have hands for it grubsad

deft obsidian

In your layout settings somewhere, probably under the splits component

jade elm
#

1xx runs take an eternity. One day I will have more time. ๐Ÿ’ช

small magnet
#

@flat hamlet biggest mood.

versed elbow
#

So, I'm guessing the part of this run that takes the most time is learning routing?

#

Then after that it's just learning skips and such for optimization.

limpid ruin
#

Learning takes the most, and practicing takes the most, and running takes however much you give it

versed elbow
#

I'm willing to put some time into this. I'm not really playing any other games and I really enjoy speedrunning.

#

I started with Monster Hunter speedrunning, then wanted to learn full game speedruns and started with Super Mario Odyssey and grinded that for like 3+ months, and now I'm here in Hollow Knight very interested in the run.

limpid ruin
#

But yea, the initial learning is mostly learning the route. Just watching, making notes, doing no expectation no resets help a lot with that part

#

If you're already comfortable with basic mechanics, mixing in skips and optimal strats etc fits in well

#

(learning optimal strats right off the bat might be bad just bc it puts you in a worse spot for when everything goes to crap (which)will happen), but sometimes they make stuff a lot easier as well)

#

Other game experience is also good for mindset and knowing yourself

versed elbow
#

Yea, whenever I start learning a run I never reset. I kinda run with the mindset of I always wanna be playing my late game splits the best because if I have a good early and mid game I'm not inexperienced or out of practice with late game due to resetting too much.

leaden python
#

It's definitely an individual thing. If you don't mind delaying instant gratification of a finished run, you might start with learning proper strats right away (like I did). If you know you'll burn out without fast results then just do runs after practicing roadblocks. I don't think that either of those is inherently better or worse long-term

#

As long as you're having fun (tm)

limpid ruin
#

Vali summed up how to make the choices amazingly there

versed elbow
#

I like doing an initial run, then learning more strats, practicing stuff I struggled with, and just improving my basic skills.

Obviously if you've only done a casual playthrough, which is all I've done, you don't really know how you'll fair in a speedrun. I find it kinda valuable to learn what my baseline is, then try to get a better grasp on what I'll need to work on to improve.

limpid ruin
#

Yea, that's a good way to find the biggest hurdles for sure

#

Can't really know what to work on the most if you don't know what level you're at

mighty trellis
#

don't know if i should say this here but i did torch game

short spire
#

gg

flat hamlet
#

SO I'm just starting out, if I fail an important trick like greenpath skip, should I just keep going or reset?

uneven scarab
#

rn, keep going

#

late game stuff is important

burnt grove
#

keep going if at all possible, and come back later to practice it

#

what he said

flat hamlet
#

So just go through Greenpath normally?

uneven scarab
#

there are backups if you miss either one

haughty fossil
#

squit pogo is retryable

#

if you fail the fireball skip

uneven scarab
#

for the first you basically just pogo the fly to the right

flat hamlet
#

Oh you can pogo off the little dude there huh?

#

I never thought of that

uneven scarab
#

yeah, just lure him over

grizzled maple
#

i have a video brb

haughty fossil
haughty fossil
#

old video don't mind scuffed movement and layout ๐Ÿฅด

uneven scarab
#

it's very common to fail either skip when you're first starting out

grizzled maple
#

you just hop over to the right just to agro them immediately get into position. youll need to hop a little bit to agro him a little higher

#

thats it

flat hamlet
#

and the second fireball skip is just a faster route through that one room

grizzled maple
#

its super super easy

haughty fossil
#

why is his name eric corny

uneven scarab
#

I still usually only get one of the two

grizzled maple
#

i called him that two years ago and it stuck idk lol

#

its a little harder but you can literally just go around anyway so

uneven scarab
#

Eric, jennifer, who else is named?

haughty fossil
#

em im pretty sure that one's only consistent on cp because of spawn positions?

grizzled maple
#

i did that on 1221

#

it is rng on that patch though yeah

flat hamlet
#

I mean, if you fail the skip, you can just... go right

grizzled maple
#

oh heck maybe i did do this on 1432

haughty fossil
#

yeah the totem is gone

#

๐Ÿฆ€

grizzled maple
#

that skip still saves about 4 seconds though

flat hamlet
#

I'm on current patch anyway

#

Yeah, you'd prefer to save that time

grizzled maple
#

so like if he is left, its good to know how to do it

haughty fossil
#

you can just go but the backup only loses 1-2s to the fb skip, as opposed to like 10 going around

grizzled maple
#

i made a bunch of these videos when i helped relyea learn any% for real

#

it explains a lot of small things in detail

flat hamlet
#

Thanks, I'll look through that

small magnet
#

Yeah, I've watched so many guides that don't really go over what to do when you miss a "mandatory" skip

#

That's awesome, Emray, thanks ๐Ÿ˜„

flat hamlet
#

How do people do splits on Console?

grizzled maple
#

console is just manual

flat hamlet
#

How do you not lose time doing that?

grizzled maple
#

console has its own leaderboard where it compares only to itself and is timed real time

#

ps4 and xbone have similar specs so theyre on the same board and switch is a toaster oven so its alone

flat hamlet
#

The switch time is currently faster

hallow orchid
#

I think there's just more switch runners

#

because it's the best console

steady lynx
#

PS4 and Xbone having faster loads does not show on the leaderboards

digital jewel
#

ps4 should be a few minutes faster than switch I think

grizzled maple
#

switch has potato loads, it was just run more

steady lynx
#

Well, time to move to PS4 112%, wonder what the WR for that is like

grizzled maple
#

has it even been run? lol

steady lynx
#

oh..

grizzled maple
#

i probably wouldve done those too when i ran all the switch runs but we dont own either console

steady lynx
grizzled maple
#

christ lmao

steady lynx
#

Idk if I can beat that

grizzled maple
#

welp get to work gusten

hallow orchid
#

how's the input lag on ps4/xbone?

steady lynx
#

Hey, lemme work for the switch 112 WR first, then I can take that so I can say I have the most 112% APB WR's in Hollow Knight

grizzled maple
#

probably similar to switch considering its caused by the 60 fps lock

#

it doesnt feel "delayed" as much as i can best explain it like feeling like playing the game underwater

steady lynx
#

I do wonder if the PS4 version would load faster on PS5 though, or run better at least?

grizzled maple
#

like picture yourself as a little kid playing in a pool, you sink to the bottom and play pretend underwater, like a tea party or something. and pc hk is like doing it on dry land

#

its the same, it just feels slooooow

#

heavy even

flat hamlet
#

Uhh, I can't find the splits for NMG any %...

#

I could just try and remember them myself, but that sounds like a lot of work

hallow orchid
#

yeah that's a pretty good description. vsync feels like that too, but even worse. I went back to finish my casual switch file a week or so ago and it was tough

digital jewel
#

yeah it might be faster on ps5/xseriesx

#

since it's impossible to buy one nobody can test it

flat hamlet
#

I've only ever played the game on console

steady lynx
#

Then it's a non-issue for the leaderboard shroompog

flat hamlet
#

And I don't have a gaming pc

digital jewel
#

as soon as 1 person does a run we could time the loads and separate if we need to

grizzled maple
#

i do know of one person who played the game casually recently on ps5

#

laserbelch if thats how you spell it

#

hes a kaizo guy

flat hamlet
#

Is there Hollow Knight Kaizo?

grizzled maple
#

yes, now

#

its pretty recent

#

but this guy is a mario runner

flat hamlet
#

How hard is it?

steady lynx
#

Imma be honest, I looked up PS5 and I'm not sure if it's been released in Sweden yet

flat hamlet
#

Path of Pain was easy

grizzled maple
hallow orchid
#

it's much, much harder than PoP

digital jewel
#

it has been gusten lol

#

just every console goes immediately

#

everywhere

steady lynx
#

I looked everywhere and it's fully booked

#

scalpers are having a field day

grizzled maple
#

i wish there was a penalty for scalping, but alas capitalism

steady lynx
#

Wait, if it has significantly better loads will you just make it another console variant category?

grizzled maple
#

yeah i imagine the new consoles would be their own subcat if the loads were noticeably better (they probably are)

digital jewel
#

yeah

steady lynx
#

That's three 112% categories to go for then shroompog

digital jewel
grizzled maple
#

whens pc tho

digital jewel
#

just have to buy 2 different generations of the same console

steady lynx
#

When I'm as good as Monstah Kappa

grizzled maple
#

i really wanna make an in depth 112 guide but valigna keeps breaking things and i cant keep up emrayBoomer

steady lynx
#

My sister's bf will probably get a PS5 so I could just borrow it, do one run and then never talk about it again

grave kernel
#

does fps affect QGA in any way that matters?

digital jewel
#

it affects how much input lag you have in general

#

should only be a noticeable issue below 100fps or so

grave kernel
#

okay then thats no issue

#

does cdash buffer? I keep sliding in when I try doing the dash method over the mash one

digital jewel
#

no it doesn't

grave kernel
#

ah that would do it

digital jewel
#

if you try to start cdash when you're too high on the wall, you'll just slide into the acid

I had a look at the 112% category guide on speedrun.com but they don't go into the fights detailed

#

practicing QGA and have gotten it fairly consistently, but am having to do this little 3 tap on cdash

#

heres inputs

#

cant seem to get it on a single cdash press, just slide into the acid

normal aspen
#

Try dashing into a wall and starting cdash in one press without losing height. From what you're saying u r prob pressing cdash early. You need to let the dash animation finish, even if you start the dash super close to the wall.

median gull
#

You are probably pressing cdash too early as somni already said, but if your triple tap is working perfectly, I don't see why would you change it

normal aspen
#

Beyond that in the clip u dash into the wall a little high too.

grave kernel
#

inconsistency since its a half key press

#

if I bottom out the key I slide, so I would rather have it in one press

median gull

cdash in 2.5 S presses shroompog

alright, thanks

analog monolith
#

help

#

how do i improve this

#

this was like the best 3-fight run i had the entire time i was doing practice

#

this is with upgraded nail btw because i can not imagine doing it with nail 0

#

(and no i do not have a finished run as i haven't actually beaten the game yet)

jagged vault
#

it's very useful

analog monolith
#

not yet lemme look

jagged vault
#

fireborn has an episode on his guide series dedicated to watchers too

#

so watching both those might be good idea

#

after that, practice practice practiceax2uHappy

#

hmm yeah

#

i'm watching this, i generally figured out the 3-hit pattern myself but assumed it was really only applicable to singular knight

#

thanks for the resources, i'll check them out :)

its a known glitch called televator. It's banned in the nmg ruleset but it is used in glitched runs

so its a major glitch?

normal aspen
#

yeah unfortunately

torpid pollen
#

damn

#

also it's way easier on older patches, they tried to patch it so i'm not even sure it's doable on current patch without a charm increasing your nail range

normal aspen
#

yeah 1028 its super consistent

#

its just 4 nail swings in a rhythm

until 1221 it's consistent

maybe 1315 as well, i doubt it but idk

Ah, i thought going to City first could improve my time, now i have no idea what can i do to cut just a few mins from this run

#

i seem to do almost everything perfectly, but i have so damn slow soul sanctum

#

So umm, coming back to my run if anyone did elderbug% i would love to hear some extra tips beside git gud at soul sanctum hah

#

And if it's faster to go to city after mantis claw or after shade skip

limpid ruin
#

have you watched under's and kanra's PBs?

#

just intuitively feel like theyd help. but they might not :p

zinc cairn
#

i haven't

limpid ruin
#

also I think you have a valid run now so you can request speedrunner role and ask in #misc-runs-nmg to have a more focused channel for it?

#

then defo watch those two ๐Ÿ‘€

zenith sorrel
#

for elderbug you probably want to watch ax's run

limpid ruin
#

OH

zinc cairn
#

Oh yeah, they verified both of my runs few hours ago but i haven't seen the speedrun mods on discord now so i wanted to just ask it later

limpid ruin
#

frick sorry I misread as Elegy% otzBlind

#

for elderbug%, gitting gud at sanctum isnt too bad tbh

#

set up a savestate right before big rooms/parts of it

#

and repeatedly go through it

zinc cairn
#

I think i have pretty decent first part of it (to soul warrior fight) but after that i have to play a little more safe

#

also soul master is so slow without shaman stone and idk if i should just go for it

#

because it seems i have enough geo both for that and stag

#

Yeah my brain completely forgot Isma's Tear skip grublaugh
I've relearned the spike pogo but my brain forgot how to do the second acid skip, to get to the actual Tear Chamber

thank you! but for some reason I can't type there. how do i gain access, or is it a time limit?

hi, i created multiple version of the game to practice on 1221, did everything as the guide shows but when i want to launch the 1221, steam automaticly opens and wants to download HK, i dont have that issue with 1432 modded version, is there something i did wrong?

limpid ruin
#

did you add the steam_appid.txt (or whatever it was called)?

dusky grove
#

yes i did

#

but didnt add the game to steam as a non-steam game

#

i find out that i can still run the game in admin once steam is open, but as i said, i dont have that issue with the 1432 version wich i did the exact same process to copy the game so i can have a 1432 vanilla, 1432 modded etc etc

Lets say I'm going for speedrun 2. How do I beat watcher knights without taking 4 hours to do so?

leaden python
#

In order to beat watcher knights for speedrun 2 achievement you need to read pins of this channel that will point you to the speedrun achievos guide. All additional questions should be directed to #hk-help , because this channel is intended for competitive speedrunning discussion

inner trench
#

Ok

#

Are we able to talk about speedrunning other games as well?

Here is the guide

Ok

wraith smelt
#

Is there a weird type of speedrunning

twin swallow
#

What is considered a "normal" type of speedrunning?

wraith smelt
#

WR speedrun

#

Glitchless

#

Accurate timer

twin swallow
#

So you mean are there glitched speedruns? Or

haughty fossil
#

hey dude, just because my run isn't wr it isnt weird.... right?????

wraith smelt
#

No in glitch speed running you have to glitch

limpid ruin
#

there are two in-game achievements, which are not part of the competitive speedrunning scope

#

glitches doesnt make it unnormal

wraith smelt
#

Also can I talk about voidheart edition here I only have voidheart edition

limpid ruin
#

If you speedrun it with the intention of submitting to the src boards, yes

twin swallow
#

I asked what normal was and you said glitchless, so by definition glitches are weird to you

wraith smelt
#

Nah it isnโ€™t I was trolling

limpid ruin
#

yea, dont introduce yourself with trolling, thats a bad first impression to give

wraith smelt
#

Ik I just do it usually

steady lynx
#

Voidheart edition has literally no difference to normal 1.4.3.2 except title screen

limpid ruin
#

its switch only tho, i think?

wraith smelt
#

I feel like I am ||drunk||

steady lynx
#

PS4 only iirc

wraith smelt
#

Also voidheart edition is for XBox as well

haughty fossil
#

does voidheart edition even have a different title screen? i've never seen it MikuStare

limpid ruin
#

and console speedrun tips and help stuff can go in here

neon island
#

v1.4.3.3?

steady lynx
#

Is it different in Chinese as well?

digital jewel
#

yeah it is

haughty fossil
#

whoah

#

that image makes me feel uneasy MonkaS

steady lynx
#

1.4.3.3 is literally just adding the different title screen

neon island
#

Oh

steady lynx
#

I only have two copies of the switch version, GoG and normal PS4 digital

#

I think that cartridge either boots a 1.3 patch or 1.4.2.4

haughty fossil
#

switch can downpatch to lifeblood shroompog

steady lynx
#

So if I ever wanna do all bindings runs on switch and it boots 1.4.2.4 I know where it's at

civic cairn
#

any tips for a godhome ending srun

steady lynx
#

Pray

civic cairn
#

thats it??????????????

steady lynx
#

Godhome ending is the worst category

#

Run literally anything else

civic cairn
#

why

#

ok

jagged vault
#

it's incredibly difficult

rugged crow
#

practice, there's not really any "do this and everytime you will get it" tips for it

steady lynx
#

Not even Skurry could finish five masks

jagged vault
#

if you're just starting out i'd recommend any% or All skills

civic cairn
#

ok

neon island
#

Both are really fun cats

dull birch
#

^This absolutely.

grizzled maple
#

I came back to it after getting the sub 3:30 on pc. Literally the 3rd best at panths at the time. And I never finished a run of it

#

It is the single hardest category in hk

jagged vault
#

but generally, just as other categories, watching how other people do it in their runs and practicing always helps

civic cairn
#

ok well then any skips i can do for any precent

steady lynx
#

P5 in that category is a bit easier than all bindings normally

dull birch
#

Check the pins, there are tutorials and guides there :)

jagged vault
#

i'd reccommend you watch fireb0rn's tutorial series for the category

civic cairn
#

ok

dull birch
#

Fireb0rn has a good any% Tut as well

civic cairn
#

how do you get speedrun rank

steady lynx
#

Get a speedrun submitted on src

jagged vault
#

have a submitted run on srcom

dull birch
steady lynx
#

Under HK, HKmemes or HKmods

civic cairn
#

ok

steady lynx
#

If you want it fast just do a four mask shard run and submit that

grizzled maple
#

KP ILs exist

#

Granted I'm never a fan of someone just wanting the role for the role

steady lynx
#

Speaking of KP emray

#

Why did you do the Fury S&Q in switch 112%?

grizzled maple
#

Because I never timed it and im lazy lol

steady lynx
#

I'm 90% sure it's faster to go around at this point

jagged vault
#

sometimes you just gotta get the role to make people in ss-discussion think you're cool cuz you have a blue name ๐Ÿฅด

grizzled maple
#

Its quite a walk back. I figured it was still faster. It skips a whole extra loading zone and a huge circle of movement

steady lynx
#

But which way it bounces matter a bit more

haughty fossil
#

whoa is that blue-name individual blue

steady lynx
#

It's like a six second difference

torpid pollen
#

true blue

grizzled maple
#

If you wanna time it and have video comparison I'll watch but honestly I'm not concerned with it rn

#

I never put that much into switch which is why I laugh at idiots like that one guy who puts so much stock into bopping me.

torpid pollen
#

is godhome ending 112% apb or is there a separate category

jagged vault
#

GE is under misc

grizzled maple
#

Godhome ending is just as fast as possible

torpid pollen
#

oh ok

grizzled maple
#

No zote

jagged vault
#

ge is just the ending

torpid pollen
#

so that means not upgrades to help with pantheons?

jagged vault
#

while 112% APB is max%

#

yeah

torpid pollen
#

sucks then

grizzled maple
#

Just watch a run honestly

jagged vault
#

that's why it's so hard

grizzled maple
#

It gets nail 3 and all spells

torpid pollen
#

so why not nail 0 and just vs like any%

#

lul

jagged vault
#

because a lot of bossfights

torpid pollen
#

but like

jagged vault
#

you get pale ore already from nosk and colo

torpid pollen
#

its possible

#

technically

grizzled maple
#

Because upgrades when you're fighting 45 bosses in a row adds up

torpid pollen
#

true

jagged vault
#

but is it faster

torpid pollen
#

ohhhhh

narrow crater

Any% AG Question - after you get dreamnail, salubra bench float, and walk across blue lake:

WR goes into the lever room, goes back and loads a save and then goes into the lever room again. He then appears in a combination of the Gruz mother room and lever room. I've been trying to recreate this for hours but I just keep going back to salubra? Is there some setup I'm missing? (Like the double jump glitch)

torpid pollen
#

right yeah

haughty fossil
#

(also dive is required to reach godhome anyway, so at the very least ddark is close enough to go pick up on your first peaks visit)

torpid pollen
#

bopping her on what category?

wait she means you?

You know, I'm sorry that I found a game I enjoy running and set a goal

no im not talking about you gusten lmao

#

i was talking about that asshole a couple of weeks ago saying things like "no one care about switch anyway" and literally every post he had name dropped me

#

i just blocked him

#

idk what his name even was at this point

thorn jasper
#

Ohh, that's a different meaning of bop(?)

steady lynx
#

Oh, okay, though I am an idiot who puts way too much stock into switch 112 Kappa

neon island
#

Was it Richard?

steady lynx
#

It was the Xbox guy who moved to switch and said sub 50 is free

#

Which it very much isn't

grizzled maple
#

bop is beating someone on the leaderboard. common speedrun talk

thorn jasper
#

ALSO, let's not drag people like this please

grizzled maple
#

ehh some people deserve it. if youre gonna come in and your first messages are to insult the community, you have it coming

#

im not one to forget

steady lynx
#

I like having peaceful competition in the switch categories, Dad, Trombon, Trousers, etc, all very nice

grizzled maple
#

same

dull birch
#

Ouch. That sounds like it was annoying to deal with :(

thorn jasper
#

A little bit, but we have already dealt with it. No need to clutter this channel with a rehash

grizzled maple
#

if we want a positive community that builds each other up we kinda have to nip this kinda attitude out when we see it

#

let them know its not welcome, and if they want to be welcome they need to have a nicer attitude

dull birch
#

This community definitely feels very welcoming and kind ๐Ÿ’• but sadly there will always be people like that, no matter what community grubsad

steady lynx
#

I've been in a lot of gaming communities and the HK speedrunning one is one of the nicest so far

neon island
#

iflthksc

dull birch
#

Agreed!

#

It's one of the reasons hk is easy to stick with, I think.

civic cairn
#

for speedrunning role do you need to get in the top speedrunning catagory or just get a verified speed run

torpid pollen
#

verified

#

thats it

civic cairn
#

ok

@narrow crater salubra room has to load first for the room dupe to work since loading a save file is a different type of load than a room transition so I'd say most likely your issue is you're going back into the lever room too early and that room is loading first so no dupe

slate fulcrum
#

is there any updated 112% AB NMG route?

narrow crater
#

Thanks! I actually just figured it out too :)

slate fulcrum
#

the guide made by MonStahLer is really outdated

leaden python
#

here's the most up-to-date recorded route

slate fulcrum
#

thanks

zinc cairn
#

thx

vocal dove
steady lynx
#

You're in the friendly competition

narrow crater
#

@dry sluice Ok so I have gotten to the part where you fly up in dirtmouth into that loadzone for COTโ€” but then WR jumps in and out of those two vertical loadzones and when he falls back down the game freezes and he is in a different area. The input display just shows him holding jump, what else is going on?

dry sluice
#

yeah so this is the hard trick, I don't know how well I can explain just in text and its been a long time since I ran

#

I thought there was a video of it somewhere but I can't find it right now

narrow crater
#

hard as in precise?

torpid pollen
#

if its hard then just stop trying

#

stop playing hollow knight

dry sluice
#

ok here it is

#

so you skip the first part of this by doing the float in dirtmouth since you're already in a room dupe, but then you need to do the next 2 parts

#

I fail it a couple times in this but the first step is a wrong warp where you jump into the loadzone and land off to the side and then walk into it again with the right timing

#

and then you're above WK

narrow crater
#

can i turn on those collision boxes with minidebug

dry sluice
#

and then the next step is similar with hitting a loadzone twice with precise timing and then using quick map to break out at the right time to be in lurien's room

#

yeah its h by default

narrow crater
#

is there i good place to save state for this because often times I hardlock the game and have to restart the run from 0

dry sluice
#

this is basically the only hard trick in the run but its pretty tough and if you fail it in the wrong way you soft/hardlock so you'll probably want to practice it a lot

#

just put a savestate at the bottom of the lurien room

#

and then use the dupe button to put yourself in a room dupe, and that'll set you up how you'd be in a run

#

dupe button is P by default

narrow crater
#

awesome, thanks. If I hardlock does it mean reset? Or can I get back to the save state

dry sluice
#

you can just load the savestate

#

but in a run obviously not an option

#

so reset

narrow crater
#

yea ofc

#

but thanks for all this that video clears it up nicely

dry sluice
#

but yeah I don't really have tips for you other than do your best to copy what I'm doing in this video, get familiar with the timings

narrow crater
#

yea thats basically how i learned the rest of the run

dry sluice
#

the first jump up into the loadzone needs to be basically instant or you won't have control of the knight afterwards

narrow crater
#

yea i noticed WR buffers it

#

0:32 is your successful attempt?

dry sluice
#

yes

narrow crater
#

still easier than doing WK

#

I see, doing too early just puts loads me into the same room twice

#

entering the loadzone twice, i mean

dry sluice
#

yeah

narrow crater
#

ok so i got the first loadzone trick, but I failed the 2nd and softlocked so I hit the save state and duped, but the room is still normal?

deft flame
#

hey, so im trying to learn any% nmg on current patch

#

and i read that explosion pogo needs your monitor set to 60hz and v-sync on for it to work

#

is that right?

grizzled maple
#

ideally yeah

#

its possible to do at higher fps's like 144 but its tighter and my video might not work for it

deft flame
#

so is it ok to just run the entire thing with 60hz and v-sync? or is that not recommended?

grizzled maple
#

no you just menu to vsync for the trick then turn it off right after

#

playing this game with vsync is so bad lol

deft flame
#

i see

#

well i'll give it a try later and see how it goes

#

does limiting fps work too or only v-sync?

grizzled maple
#

if you limit fps with something outside the game you would need to keep that the entire time, and the issue with hk is that fps is directly tied to input responsiveness

#

vsync is allowed since its an in-game setting

deft flame
grizzled maple
#

gl though, let us know here if you have issues with it and we can help :)

deft flame
#

thank you! will do

versed elbow
#

Does the off screen kill on the big boi before Greenpath not work on current patch?

grizzled maple
#

yeah thats patched

versed elbow
#

Aight

deft flame
#

oh, thats good to know too, i wasnt sure either

grizzled maple
#

they patched it by making fireballs not hit off screen so that's something to keep in mind for bosses like wk and thk

deft flame
#

so, is it even worth it to practice explosion pogo as a new player or should i just focus on getting good at wk and other more essential skips?

twin swallow
#

depends how confident your THK and WK fights are i guess

grizzled maple
#

honestly i recommend always just biting the bullet early and learning the harder stuff because it'll be an advantage to you later when youre worried about optimizing, BUT if you find it's too hard there's nothing wrong with moving it to the back burner

twin swallow
#

going around costs about 30-40 seconds, chain dying to watcher knights or THK probably a bit more

dry sluice
#

@narrow crater after duping just go down like normal

deft flame
#

yeah i definitely absolutely suck at wk right now, so thats def one thing i'll start practicing a lot

grizzled maple
#

they're usually the biggest wall for new runners, yeah. probably one of the harder fights in all of hk speedrunning

narrow crater
#

wait I may have savestated in the wrong spot then, because Im in the WK room. Was I supposed to savestate in Dirtmouth?

deft flame
dry sluice
#

no you were supposed to savestate in WK room

grizzled maple
#

theres a video pinned in #any-percent-nmg from pest that explains things in the fight pretty well if you might wanna see that

dry sluice
#

whats going wrong?

narrow crater
#

Im on the other side of WK room

#

cant noclip either

deft flame
dry sluice
#

you can't practice just the top part

deft flame
#

i'll take a look at this video too

dry sluice
#

you have to do it all at once

#

or actually thats not even true anymore if you just do the bottom part and get to right before the top part you can savestate and just use ; to load the state instead of L and it'll include the room dupe

narrow crater
#

I went down the loadzone in Dirtmouth, then hit O to save and practice until I softlock then hit L and I'm on the other side of WK

dry sluice
#

show me where you are

narrow crater
dry sluice
#

oh, yeah you just put your savestate in the wrong spot

#

I just meant at the bottom of that room

#

try loading with ; though

narrow crater
#

; doesn't work for me, mine might be outdated

dry sluice
#

ah yeah probably

#

its pinned in any-percent

narrow crater
#

It's fine I'll reset but next time I want to save state what do I do after I enter the loadzone in Dirtmouth?

dry sluice
#

if you just get the new one then you can savestate wherever you want

#

and load with ; and the room dupe setup will be saved

narrow crater
#

oh ok

dry sluice
#

new one also has 10 savestate slots

#

instead of 1

narrow crater
#

flex

#

who makes it

dry sluice
#

so you can have multiple saves all over the place and choose between them

#

me

narrow crater
#

ooh impressive

#

are you the one who found these glitches?

dry sluice
#

ye

#

most of them

#

MMS was found by Savy

#

I found what you're trying to do right now

narrow crater
#

how do glitchhunt? do you have the source code? these tricks blow my mind

#

you*

dry sluice
#

you can decompile the assembly with dnspy and look at it there

#

most of glitch hunting is just done testing in game though

#

only really look at the code to confirm why stuff works occasionally

burnt grove
#

or figure out easier setups or how to use the same flaw for other glitches

narrow crater
#

Ive heard of dnspy, but some of the glitches seem so obtuse that I wonder how they come about, like storing the double jump in blue lake cuz the game thinks you're swimming or something?

dry sluice
#

some of its by accident

#

a lot of stuff was found testing for low jump and low nail tbh

#

the water double jump was just fucking around with water float I think and found it

#

but like I found FK skip for low nail which led to a complete reroute of any% nmms and saves a ton of time

#

wrong warps were originally found looking for ways through soul sanctum without jumping for low jump

#

load warps were found because Mick asked me what grubs would be dupable for 100% and I messed up a room dupe in crossroads and accidentally did a load warp

narrow crater
#

how do you know/decide which room you'll be sent next when you wrong warp

dry sluice
#

the first loadzone hit sets the room you go to, touching another loadzone will overwrite the destination loadzone but not the room so you go to the correct room but wrong loadzone in said room

narrow crater
#

do you control what the overwritten loadzone will be?

dry sluice
#

yeah that just depends on the loadzone you go into

#

every loadzone has a set destination loadzone it goes to

narrow crater
#

Ok i think I understand lol

#

amazing though

torpid pollen
#

does a death in path of pain destroy a steel soul file

grizzled maple
#

yes

torpid pollen
#

damn

grizzled maple
#

PoP is just a branch of WP and WP is a real place

torpid pollen
#

gwonkee almost convinced me it doesnt

#

thanks lol

grizzled maple
#

i mean i could be wrong, but i don't see why it wouldn't. it's literally part of the WP map

torpid pollen
#

yeah

harsh mason
#

use mms to re steel soul your save FeelsOkayMan

thorn jasper
#

i'll test it now feelspkman

torpid pollen
#

you can just use a file editor

#

change some value in the file

harsh mason
#

wtf

#

who would write a cheat program to edit save files

torpid pollen
#

lol

thorn jasper
#

or you could backup the save file

torpid pollen
#

you put in the file and then you can change the thing so it undestroys ur ss file

harsh mason
#

Online save file editor.

The steps behind decryption and encryption were taken from @KayDeeTee's Hollow Knight Save Manager.

torpid pollen
#

wdym

harsh mason
#

thats me

#

where did you get that from

thorn jasper
harsh mason
torpid pollen
#

LMAO

harsh mason
#

which is me

torpid pollen
#

interesting

harsh mason
#

that was the joke

torpid pollen
#

ah

thorn jasper
torpid pollen
#

well how would i know

#

damn

#

is there some pop value

#

that u can change from 1 to 0 or smth

harsh mason
#

no

torpid pollen
#

damn

harsh mason
#

its all scenedata

thorn jasper
#

what about a steel soul value

harsh mason
#

yeah

torpid pollen
#

there is one

#

i used it to restore a save once

harsh mason
#

permadeathMode = 0/1

torpid pollen
#

0/1/2

#

i think 2 is destroyed

#

1 is ss

#

0 is normal

harsh mason
#

2 is for an unloadable save yes

torpid pollen
#

yeah

thorn jasper
grizzled maple
#

confirmed too

torpid pollen
#

damn

narrow crater
#

What is load extender

thorn jasper
narrow crater
#

but i cant have it at the same time as debug?

hollow plover
#

Hi! Today I've downloaded impossible HK mod. I was doing pretty well until the first fireball jump. How to learn it?

short spire
#

make sure to use quick cast

hollow plover
#

Right trigger?

thorn jasper
#

yeah that one

#

(right bumper?)

hollow plover
#

That button above trigger

#

R1

thorn jasper
#

yeah that's quick cast. it should cast spells quickly

dry sluice
#

Load extender is in mini debug by default

hollow plover
#

Do I move between casts?

short spire
#

depends how much height you can lose

hollow plover
#

For example greenpath hornet jump

thorn jasper
#

greenpath hornet should not need movement

#

that jump is in normal any% runs so you can watch one of those

hollow plover
#

Ok

#

thx

thorn jasper
#

I'd highly recommend learning the any% route without this impossible mod first. Gwonkee made it for people who already have run that route, so there may be more surprises ahead

#

depending on what your goals are, I suppose

hollow plover
#

I've done pretty much everything in vanila HK so I wanted to find something harder

#

But it is clearly to hard for me right now

grizzled maple
#

thats like jumping from "i beat super mario casually time to do something harder" and picking up kaizo

#

thats like 30 steps up

hollow plover
#

Something like that XD

true hound
grizzled maple
#

yeah that guide is just meant for casuals getting the cheevo

#

fire also has a guide for any% thats extremely detailed

true hound
#

oh ok thank you

grizzled maple
#

its meant for 1221, so if you dont want to downpatch, be aware some things are different

true hound
#

ive had problems with downpatching(on steam) for 1221 so i think ill get HK on GoG and downpatch there

hollow plover
grizzled maple
#

that's still very different is my point

true hound
#

oh i did almost all bosses on radiant too but then got hard countered at markoth

#

radiant markoth is not ok

grizzled maple
#

there's a lot of intricate skips and concepts you wont know about no matter how much you did casually

hollow plover
#

That's true

rando is a great way to learn a bunch of skips and such. that's usually the next step up if you dont want the pressure of actual speedrunning

true hound
#

yeah its definitely different. looking up fire's guide and hes got like 10 hours of video in the guide

#

looks like i got some work to do

grizzled maple
#

in fact a bunch of speedrunners came from doing rando first and even helped with fresh route ideas because of their different perspective

twin swallow
#

don't be concerned if everything doesn't click right away with that video series

#

I still come back to that every month or so and learn new small things I missed

digital jewel
#

you sure you'd rather guy the game again on gog rather than getting help downpatching?

true hound
#

no

#

id rather get help

#

but it hasnt been working

digital jewel
#

the help hasn't been working?

vocal dove
#

another Josef gorbbrain

true hound
#

hello

#

no i did the linked guide on #speedrunning and downloaded the executable but it shows an error in the terminal, and also when i do the command in console for 1221 i waited and it did not do anything

#

i probably did something wrong

true hound
#

i downloaded it and ran it

#

heres what it shows

#

err.rPatternNotFound

#

is that normal?

digital jewel
#

no that's not normal

true hound
#

oh wait

#

i reopened steam console and it finished the download

#

but it still says 1.4.3.2

#

stuff like that

digital jewel
#

what

#

if the steamdepotdownpatcher doesn't work, then trying to downpatch through steam console won't work

true hound
#

well it says depot download complete, but i closed steam so i dont think it worked. i booted up hollow knight and it was current patch

#

it just said that

grave kernel
#

downpatch creates a new version

true hound
#

yes

digital jewel
#

well downloading the files doesn't switch your game version

#

you need to continue reading the guide

true hound
#

so i redo the steps because i closed steam right? its just showing what happened last time. the guide said you have to do it every time steam runs

digital jewel
#

there's no need to redo anything if as you say the depot download finished

#

just follow the guide

true hound
#

help

#

so i found the depot folder

#

and i copied it to another folder i called Hollow Knight 1221

#

inside was a folder called Hollow_Knight_Data and an executable of hollow knight

#

then i added it to steam as a non steam game

#

then when i clicked it, it opened the other hollow knight but then it crashed

versed elbow
#

I just have to be faster than 2 hours 2 minutes to not be last on the leaderboards for XB1/PS4 ooor I could go on Switch and have to beat 5 hours 50 minutes

stuck raptor
true hound
#

yep, i called it steam_appid

#

and i put 367520 in

#

what did i do wrong

true hound
#

hhjelp

deft flame
#

do people do godseeker mode runs? or is that like not a thing

short spire
#

its not a thing nah

#

yet, at least

#

true ending all glitches does make use of the godseeker mode though, by breaking out of it and using the upgrades to get the regular true end

narrow crater
deft flame
narrow crater
#

I tried to install Kry's updated mini-debug just by downloading it from the github and replacing the current dll, but now nothing works

short spire
#

yeah teixera it's a pretty recent find

#

i recommend checking out the run it's pretty cool

true hound
#

hol up

deft flame
#

yeah i'll take a look

true hound
#

now there are 4 different folders that say crash.dmp, error, and output log

#

and it crashed again

narrow crater
#

did you downpatch with steam

true hound
#

what do you mean

narrow crater
#

did you open the console and paste the code from the guide

true hound
#

yes

#

wait i opened the console and its blank

narrow crater
#

did you spell steam_appid.txt right

true hound
#

.txt?

#

i didnt put that

narrow crater
#

its a text file

true hound
#

and i tried to paste it in again and it said download failed, manifest not found

narrow crater
#

yes because you need to use the steam patcher every time you open steam

#

you already downloaded it

true hound
#

so i run the executable again

#

HEY

#

this time it says no error

digital jewel
#

hollowknight.exe?

narrow crater
#

you dont need to download the depot again

#

so you dont need to patch steam

true hound
#

the patcher

#

well now its another error

narrow crater
#

did you read the guide

true hound
#

yes

narrow crater
#

the updated one

true hound
#

the one pinned to this channel

narrow crater
#

after you download from the console you should get a folder in Steam\steamapps\content\app_367520\depot_367521

#

or something similar

true hound
#

yep

narrow crater
#

you got the .exe, the data folder, steam_api, and steam_appid?

true hound
#

no

#

just the data folder

narrow crater
#

delete app_367520 and start over

true hound
#

wait but

narrow crater
#

you didn't completely download

true hound
#

i have another folder

#

i made it

#

it has the data, appid, and hollowknight.exe

#

and crash logs

dry sluice
#

arcade can you be more specific than nothing works, I just downloaded from there to check and its working fine

narrow crater
#

like i hopped into a new save and none of the binds are working

#

wait are the binds just different

#

timescale works

limpid ruin
#

The binds for minidebug can be read in minidebug.json in your save folder

dry sluice
#

^

limpid ruin
#

They're mostly numpad keys, if I remember right, so either rebind if you don't have a numpad, or remember that numlock is a key

dry sluice
#

if you had a really old version binds would be different now yeah, but you can set them to whatever you want and they'll stay that way for all future versions since it just reads from that file

true hound
#

how do mods work in hollow knight speedruns? are there specific rules to make sure you don't have mods enabled?

#

like to make sure that ur not cheating with mods

#

do you have to disable mods somehow, or uninstall?

dry sluice
#

you have to uninstall all mods for the main boards yes

narrow crater
#

oh wow its come a long way

true hound
limpid ruin
#

Yep

dry sluice
#

if you're just on current patch yeah that would work

limpid ruin
#

But that's exactly why you read the full downpatch guide for adding multiple installs, so you don't have to dealt with that

narrow crater
#

is new minidebug compatible with load extender or is it built in

dry sluice
#

built in

cinder bison
#

getting that cycle on the gome room right after aspid arenas is a lot harder than it looks

narrow crater
#

can you unyeet loadscreens

uneven urchin
#

hey, I have a slight question about one speedrun

digital jewel
dry sluice
#

no you have to quit out arcade

uneven urchin
#

Veru's Low%NSOOB spends like 95 hours farming essence

#

the current WR is about 30 minutes

dry sluice
#

its not nsoob

limpid ruin
uneven urchin
#

why did he farm essence/what was the skip which allowed for this

uneven urchin
cinder bison
#

yeet loadscreen what does it mean ?

dry sluice
#

it was to get dreamgate to get back after skipping wk

#

later there was a different skip to get back with a hazard warp

#

so essence wasn't needed

limpid ruin
#

Yeet loadscreen is a function in minidebug for 1028, super practical for practicing load screen glitch movements and early controls

uneven urchin
#

ooh

#

what happens with the WK skip otherwise, when you try to get back?

narrow crater
#

what does reloadsettings do?

dry sluice
#

you can't cause you can't go through the wk room backwards

#

updates settings if you changed them with the game open

cinder bison
#

ohh thanks

dry sluice
#

and updates savestates if you edited them

uneven urchin
#

I'm only really familiar with the NMG run

short spire
#

where even are the old nsoob runs

#

i cant find the link

uneven urchin
#

softlocks you in the room?

#

Patch 1.1.1.8, 122:14:52.18 With Loads, 95:38:07.13 Loadless

Around 20 enemies killed per minute playing, 6.5 essence per hour for ~60 hours of grinding

#

this?

dry sluice
#

also what I was saying is that the current ~30 min WR you're looking at isn't an NSOOB run

#

its NMMS

#

so it has a different ruleset and different skips allowed

uneven urchin
#

oh, the vid said NSOOB

#

sad

#

I have been lied to

short spire
#

nah i meant the leaderboards that were moved to a google doc after we removed them from the leaderboards

digital jewel
#

didn't serena make a forum post or something

short spire
#

ah the forum, yep

#

thanks

uneven urchin
#

(oh WK add a %, right?)

#

(I'm misremembering just Lurien adding one, probably)

short spire
#

low% nsoob ended up going down to 34 minutes after hazard out of bounds was found

dry sluice
#

everyone which run were you looking at as the current WR? Cause if you were looking at Stayplus's run thats NSOOB, I just assumed you were looking at the leaderboards on the website which is not

short spire
#

but verus run was the only way to do it before that

uneven urchin
#

yeah was looking at Stayplus'

#

this vid

#

was surprised by the massive time cut and wanted to ask

dry sluice
#

ok then yeah its just a different way to get down after WK

#

without needing dreamgate

digital jewel
#

my run was like 1.5 hrs so that's a 94hrs cut

#

pretty stupid

#

god that was a fun time to be running the game ngl

#

not like the game sucks now but still

uneven urchin
#

oh, wait

#

just went to check that specific bit

short spire
#

i wouldnt be surprised if that's the largest wr improvement in speedrun history

uneven urchin
#

is 18:14-18:25 not considered Out Of Bounds?
