#

dash reversals have two main uses btw : either dash very close to the wall, and the walljump will carry you way out (the dash gets completely reversed) or dash far from the wall and the walljump only goes up, not a little to the side

limpid dust
#

buddy nobody cares about a category name don't look deep into it. We just want to play the game fast

frank obsidian
#

What are those

haughty fossil
#

true ending is called true ending because it is (was before godmaster but we don't run on that patch usually anyway) the most complete ending for the game, requiring the most effort to obtain and providing the most satisfying ending

stiff delta
#

when will lore community explain why on 1221 if a dumb fucking fly hits the ceiling i stop going up

limpid dust
old obsidian
#

we should rename path of pain to path of fun since the category name is misleading

dreamy bough
# frank obsidian What are those

hungry walls : walls eating your vs because they spawn behind you for some reason, cdash glitch (usually) not damaging ennemies somehow and you getting hit instead

low bramble
#

also the first and only thing in the run description is "defeat the radiance"

dreamy bough
#

there's another cdash glitch where if you cdash from a corner your cdash autoreleases

frank obsidian
low bramble
#

so that will clarify anything if people do not actually know and aren't just trying to be annoying about it

steady lynx
#

Can they also explain floaty jumps?

frank obsidian
#

Can they explain Main Menu Storage?

old obsidian
#

but can they explain nail turnaround wing cancels

dreamy bough
#

wait what schy

old obsidian
#

exactly

#

check and mate

steady lynx
#

Can't wait for the lore on televator and elevator storage

molten aurora
#

Not exactly lore, but I wanna see the physics behind how this knight smacks his nail against spikes so hard he propels himself into the air.

low bramble
limpid dust
#

guys wtf stop cheating and play the game normally as the lore say to

knotty vigil
#

alright guys i think that's enough, there's no need to bash on the lore community just because of some random guy with a dumb request

dusk portal
frank obsidian
digital jewel
#

oh damn I'm sad I missed this

elfin vortex
steady lynx
#

Basically you get elevator storage which gives upwards momentum and you use a dash slash to keep it all the way up to the ledge

#

Then you use interaction storage to warp to right above the bench that's below you

low bramble
#

you also jump on a very small pixel on top of the door

#

ifl glitch runners

elfin vortex
#

Well shit that sounds hard af

steady lynx
#

Base patch do be buggy

grand elm
#

should we go talk to the lore community and ask them to set the radiance ending as the true ending because it's misleading to speedrunners ?

radiant carbon
#

No as it’ll probably cause more hassle for everyone here and really I want this tangent to move on already

naive nova
#

Steel Soul CP time's coming down slowly but surely hollowswag

#

Does anyone know a ballpark figure for how much slower current patch is on Steel Soul any%?

slim geyser
#

Tbh i don't think either current patch SS or 1221 SS is really optimized enough to determine

naive nova
#

Ah okay, I'm sorta shooting for sub 40, but no clue if that's a pretty good time or not

slim geyser
#

That sounds pretty good to me. Sub 40 is generally considered a good entry level time for normal 1221 any%, and considered to be very solid in normal CP any%

#

I guess the best way to figure out the difference in the categories would be to check how time blue lake rout saves between the old patch categories and add it to the time 1221 saves over CP

#

I can't think of a reason blue lake rout would be significantly different between patches but I'm not a rout expert

limpid ruin
# dreamy bough wait what schy

wings turnaround: using nail then trying to use wings with no further inputs delays the wings by a ton (I think it was as high as 0.6s even?), but for some reason turning around between the nail and the wings skips that delay completely, and you only have normal wings dip left to worry about. its the weirdest thing and super good to know about

#

infinite time MyArms

#

I think it's something like 25% of the rta is loads, roughly speaking?

#

yeee, that's why switch can manually go back from lost kin and wings instead of s/q teleporting

#

which is honestly a long way back

slim geyser
#

congrats

#

in fact, it seems you're the first one to have a CP time above a single 1221 time

limpid dust
#

ho yeah I hate those wings / nail interaction while doing bosses

molten aurora
#

I was practicing my all skills herrah split, and the devout right before herrah jumped back and I totally whiffed my ddark. I fire balled anyway and it must have triple hit, because it died in a single fireball. Was I just extremely lucky?

knotty vigil
#

how tf do you do watcher knights in steel soul any%

#

i cant even do it with shade soul

molten aurora
#

With a lot of practice.

knotty vigil
#

any tips?

#

its the only thing i still cant do

molten aurora
#

Check out fireborns video if you haven't, there's other good videos as well, but I don't any% so don't know them off the top of my head.

limpid ruin
#

the fireb0rn any% tutorial on the fight and the pest video in #any-percent-nmg pins are very good starting points

#

potentially routing in some extra geo and go around to fetch nail 1 upgrade?

knotty vigil
#

is it harder on CP?

limpid dust
#

No it s easier on cp cause they are less jank

molten aurora
#

Watcher knights are hard with low gear, I've seen ball park estimates of ~20 hours to get them consistent.

#

You will just have to practice them a lot.

slim geyser
#

I had a question for CP runners

#

Fireballs notably have less range in CP, but i've never heard of it affecting the WK fight, which leads me to believe that it doesn't. If that's the case, how?

knotty vigil
#

its just so damn hard on cp for me

#

im running practice on cp for the mods

#

bc i cant get 1221 mods

slim geyser
#

wait, you're running on 1221 but practicing on cp? @knotty vigil

slim geyser
#

my mind would be blown by that, because i think if I tried with less fireball range the fight would be impossible for me

knotty vigil
#

i cant do it on cp

#

ive never tried it on 1221

#

is it easier on 1221?

slim geyser
#

that's what I'm trying to figure out ashen

vocal dove
#

i find watchers harder on 1221 because they can start attacks offscreen

knotty vigil
#

do you want to try and call to determine it? i feel like its harder on cp

#

ive got like, 2 watchers doing different attacks at the same time

#

is that normal

slim geyser
#

yes

#

that's normal

knotty vigil
#

oh alr just making sure

slim geyser
#

it's rare that they do the exact same thing

#

anyway

#

you were suggesting a voice call to see the differences in the fight?

knotty vigil
#

yeah, screen share

#

I also noticed while looking at 1221 runs the fireball can hit the same watcher twice or more

#

and on cp it cant do that

slim geyser
#

also @ joe and @ alp this is a cool discussion to have, I'm surprised I've not heard about these differences before, I feel like this should be talked about more often when differences between patches (esp any%) come up

slim geyser
knotty vigil
#

well, its not working on cp

vocal dove
#

when they roll towards you on the ground you can jump over them, turnaround and fireball and it can double or triple them

low bramble
#

you can double/triple on cp

slim geyser
#

anyway I'm down to do a voice call. Either a DM or a public channel here works for me ashen

#

I'll leave the choice to you

knotty vigil
#

sure we can do public, I dont mind

dreamy token
#

is there a path of pain speedrun guide

spice cradle
knotty vigil
#

bruh

#

i literally got a pb on aluba that was 6 seconds or so too long

#

now its not on top 15

#

BRUH

prime delta
#

is there a guide for creating multiple installs? I looked around and didn't see one, then tried to figure it out myself with no success

fair island
#

It's there in the downpatching guide

prime delta
#

oh whoops. I didn't look there because I wasn't downpatching, I just wanted to make separate ones for debug/rando/etc

molten aurora
#

I think need to do runs without a timer for a while, I'm really tired of resetting after cloak/claw, it's making me not want to do runs. I just need to practice and get more consistent.

dapper cove
#

You’re falling into the same habits I did, and you really just gotta force yourself not to reset and don’t look at the clock

stray kestrel
#

i've seen a lot of runners pb after being super behind in the early game

#

no-reset runs are really good as practice

dapper cove
#

Like bc I haven’t been resetting my runs I have a legit chance at 4ms WR

molten aurora
#

In my pb I was 2 mins behind early and that didn't bother me. But lately being 10s behind at cloak, makes me feel bad and perform worse for the rest of the run.

stray kestrel
#

yea, it can be hard, another tactic that may work is not comparing to your pb and instead comparing to balanced pb or average or median times or something

dapper cove
#

You can always have the clock going and not look at it

stray kestrel
#

alternatively, you can use it as "well im behind, lets just not reset this and go for consistency and completing a run and not sheer speed"

molten aurora
#

I just wish being in the red didn't bother me, because I know it's not a big deal, especially for a new runner like me with so much time to save late.

dapper cove
#

you could change the colour from red to like blue or purple

molten aurora
#

It's not the colour that bothers me, it's just being behind.

wind spear
dapper cove
#

i'm so used to being behind bc my mawlek split on my pb is so good i can never seem to get there, and when i do i choke at the vengefly pogo

#

if i can just get that fight more consistent i have a really good shot at getting close to wr and it makes me excited which could be bad bc then i tend to rush things

molten aurora
#

Wait, close to WR for 4ms?

dapper cove
#

yeah

#

my SoB beats WR

#

my SoB is currently sitting at 7:50 which beats monstah's time by 1s but i'm putting that on hold for now as i do my little last place marathon

molten aurora
#

What's your pb?

dapper cove
#

it's not great rn bc i messed up a lot but it's 9:17 or something i don't remember exactly i'll have to double check

molten aurora
#

Huh, okay, that sob seems kinda crazy then.

silver reef
#

on the 106 splits that you can download from SRC, what do the things like 2U and 3D after certain splits mean

molten aurora
#

The inputs for the stag stations, so in your examples, 2 up and 3 down.

silver reef
#

cool, thanks

vocal dove
#

the timer anxiety is so real. i had to PB offline because it can get so stressful.

vital geyser
#

@silver reef i second this username

molten aurora
#

I accidentally got the fast cycle on the god pixel cpeaks room and choked the whole run because I'd never practiced it before grubsad

#

I dashed through the laser at the time of the room and my brain shut off.

dawn adder
#

gg

somber cedar
#

You can always run with timer but not look at it /hide the timer

dawn adder
#

just did 2 runs to vengeful while wondering why my time was so bad (which is why i restarted) only to realise that i was running real time not game time

honest folio
#

lmao

#

set 2 timers, 1 for game time and below that real time

dawn adder
#

i didn't even know you could set multiple timers, I'll do that now

honest folio
#

there's a lot of epic stuff you can do in the "edit layout" screen

dawn adder
#

i opened that by accident and closed it from pure fear

#

now i will spend 30 minutes exploring this why u have to do this to me cryga

honest folio
#

its simple, right click -> edit layout -> information (i believe) -> timer

#

then you can edit timer if you click on it from the tabs above

#

no sorry i'm completely wrong

#

click on the "+" sign in the edit layout menu and add a timer from there

dawn adder
#

yea that edits the current timer you have to click the +

honest folio
#

and if you go to "layout settings" you can edit the specific timers to what you want them to display

dawn adder
#

how do i make one compare against real time and one game time?

dawn adder
#

oh sry ty

honest folio
#

np

dawn adder
#

oh lmao I was looking at "title" instead of "timer" which is why I didn't see that setting

dawn adder
#

I have been practicisng fireball skips w/ save states and infinite soul and not to brag or anything but now i can fireball skip with 18 fireballs feelspkman

dawn adder
#

there's multiple fireball skips????????????????h

honest folio
#

there's 3

dawn adder
#

damn

#

i only knew of one

honest folio
#

thats the only really important one

dawn adder
#

to skip going around on your way to hornet

honest folio
#

rest is just timesaves

dawn adder
#

alr

#

yea that's what i used to do but i have realised that fireball skip isn't actually hard and would save 10-30 seconds

dawn adder
#

are there any other tricky skips i should practice while i still have the debug mod installed

#

ive done fireball skip & pogo skip

#

oh right qga

dawn adder
#

NO WAY

#

I DID QGA

next gorge
#

Yo guys can someone help me find out how to get the speedrun thing where it shows your time in the corner?

#

just a basic speedrunning timer that pauses on load screens etc.

dusk portal
#

Livesplit?

next gorge
#

im not sure, whatever it is called

#

im assuming its called that

#

?

dawn adder
next gorge
#

I download that?

#

the gohero guy?

#

go Xero

#

ok thank you

umbral void
#

hi

#

so i was downpatching steam, and this popped up when I was doing that

#

is the downpatcher really safe?

dusk portal
#

It's safe

umbral void
#

fear but ok

dusk portal
#

It just opens a command Prompt and Windows doesn't like that

umbral void
#

its just windows defender msg

dusk portal
#

The Smartscreen blocked the executable

umbral void
steady lynx
#

It's ok then

umbral void
#

this normal?

limpid dust
#

window defender will show this for every stuff you'll download from not a known company

#

the green warning

umbral void
#

ye

#

oh wait rly

#

thats dum

umbral void
limpid dust
#

yeah because if you use cmd it might not be safe

umbral void
#

oh ok

#

makes sense

limpid dust
#

but no it doesn't look normal

#

but I don't personnaly remember stuff

umbral void
#

o ok

#

imma check a tutorial

#

ty

dusk portal
umbral void
#

oh ok

#

steam is open

haughty fossil
#

are you on the most up to date version of steam, are you using steam beta, are you using steam family mode

dusk portal
#

Now you just open the Steam Console and Downpatch

umbral void
dusk portal
#

There's a commend in the downpatching guide, just Win+R and enter it

#

That should open the console

umbral void
#

i dont think it downpatched

dusk portal
#

Then I opened the .exe

#

And did the same once again

umbral void
#

ill restart it afterwards

dusk portal
#

Just, when you downpatch, be patient, I had to wait for 3 hours before having it fully downpatched

umbral void
#

oh damn

#

ok

knotty vigil
#

is there any way to fully skip the cutscenes when starting a new game on switch current patch? (without having to press a button to skip btw)

haughty fossil
#

no, current patch forces you to watch a tiny bit before skipping by pressing a button

normal aspen
#

Nah

haughty fossil
#

note for console you want to be spamming because time starts before the cutscenes

knotty vigil
#

right, thanks

steady lynx
#

Enjoy 29 seconds before the game loads in

knotty vigil
#

I speedrun mario 64 I’ve been through worsebeesive

silk lion
#

anyone wanna challenge me in Mantis lords low%

normal aspen
#

?

steady lynx
#

Clawless dashless mantis lords?

silk lion
#

waitr Ill tell u

frank obsidian
#

My friend tried out a Hollow Twitch speedrun, and like the good best friend of 10 years that I am, I used !sleep in Distant Village smileW

silk lion
#

I dont know if you can do it clawless dashless

#

you tecdhnically can do it vs less

frank obsidian
steady lynx
#

Probably with some fun shade skips

silk lion
#

I did dash vs claw nothin else

frank obsidian
silk lion
#

I mean you need to buy like 1 toll to get going in GP but thats it

frank obsidian
silk lion
#

I know

#

thats how I fdo it

onyx spade
#

surely you can get mantis lords without dash?

silk lion
#

not that

#

tho

#

in my route of going to fc

silk lion
haughty fossil
#

you need fireball to get into wastes and claw to get to mantis lords

steady lynx
#

I'm mostly thinking if you can get there without claw

haughty fossil
#

dash is not necessary

silk lion
#

yes exactly

true palm
#

dash is required for very little in the game

onyx spade
#

you need claw to open mantis lords arena

haughty fossil
#

low% already goes to claw, mantis lords are right there

silk lion
haughty fossil
#

if you're getting cloak then no, you can remove cloak

silk lion
#

I actually took soul catcher in my first runs only to realise that doesnt work lol

haughty fossil
#

look at a low% run and you will see how they get to claw

true palm
#

ye thats a good place

true palm
#

or ill just send you like a 2 second clip

#

give me a sec

onyx spade
#

she just said watch a low% run lol

true palm
silk lion
#

i really dont know

true palm
#

thats the mandatory skip

silk lion
#

oh shhh

steady lynx
#

Low% is a fun category that exists

silk lion
#

time to learn to vss

normal aspen
#

its not too bad, u can even see in homothetrys clip he fucks the last turnaround pretty hard

silk lion
#

anyways so question

normal aspen
#

u actually dont even need 3 fbs

true palm
#

i literally make it all the time fireballing the wrong direction

#

its hard but its accessible to beginners

onyx spade
#

show me a clip with 2 then 🙂

silk lion
#

will you guys be willing to turn this into an actual speedrun or do you think that it is not worth time sonce iuts oinly like 25 minutes

haughty fossil
#

i mean its just the start of low%

steady lynx
#

First of all

#

We can do it in like 10 minutes

true palm
#

not everything can be a category, but that would take about 14

silk lion
#

yes I know Im sht at the game but still

true palm
#

for reference

#

i think my fastest time to mantis claw ever is 10:10 without dash iirc

haughty fossil
true palm
#

you could drop time since you dont need to open the stag

silk lion
#

I am bad at the game so thats just a category I speedran bc I was bvored on a sunday evening thats all

true palm
#

the time isnt the issue

#

naw ur good i understand

onyx spade
#

point b is relevant here

true palm
#

you should really check out low% if you're looking for a challenge category

#

dont even have to speedrun it

haughty fossil
#

this is the guidelines for the misc runs sheet, which contains category extensions that aren't yet well run enough to be on the cat. extension speedrun.com boards.

silk lion
#

I mean is it gonna be like grey morner quest low% or some sht

true palm
#

nah nah, low% is just beat the game without dash essentially

silk lion
#

and charms mask shards soul gauges etc

#

nail upgrades

onyx spade
#

damn

#

that's so cool

true palm
#

fuck thats less tight than i thought

onyx spade
#

legitimately thought it wasn't possible

true palm
#

still bad

#

would legit never go for it in a run ever

onyx spade
#

I'll have to try it some time

silk lion
#

is it possible with 1 tho

normal aspen
#

nag

true palm
#

no

#

you could probably do it with 2 wraiths though

silk lion
#

anyways so basicly I just wanna be able to run a not-so-long category

normal aspen
#

4ms is short

onyx spade
#

yeah I was also thinking 2 wraiths might be possible

true palm
#

4ms, aluba%, hiveblood%, greathopper% come to mind

onyx spade
#

4ms 0 geo zote

normal aspen
#

gh%

#

really gonna throw em in the deep end huh

true palm
#

out of all of them, greathopper has the hardest skips, aluba/4ms are easy to learn, and hiveblood is difficult for other reasons

normal aspen
#

bestgirl%

silk lion
#

tf is 4ms

normal aspen
#

collector%

true palm
#

4 mask shards

normal aspen
#

fccn%

true palm
#

anyways you should really check out this board

onyx spade
#

what's that last one somni?

steady lynx
#

Menderbug%

normal aspen
#

fog canyon charm notch%

onyx spade
#

oooh rando skips pog

steady lynx
#

Dying to false Knight%

true palm
#

if you want more serious runs that are short, pantheon/collo ils, and whitepalace/path of pain come to mind

normal aspen
#

yeah the last 3 are just pet cats of mine that show off stupid shit

#

atm fccn% shows off the first and last skjip i founds which is kinda cool

onyx spade
#

speaking off collector%, do you have a clip of the love key skip?

normal aspen
onyx spade
#

ty

normal aspen
#

o7

onyx spade
#

I can't tell, are you dashing off the wall?

haughty fossil
#

yes

normal aspen
#

yeah

#

otherwise u bonk the middle terrain

true palm
#

its not hard to get the turn arounds on the corner, rest of the skip looks like it can be brutal

normal aspen
#

none of this one is too hard

#

its just hot turnarounds

#

and thinking to try it tbh

true palm
#

oh it looked like you were doing a turnaround inbetween the last two

#

k that looks a lot easier than i originally thought

#

still not free

normal aspen
#

nah the skips that do that are a good bit spicier

short spire
#

is there a reason not to do dash-3fb-dash instead

normal aspen
#

i find jumping off the wall out of fb endlag easier

short spire
#

seems like it'd be easier

normal aspen
#

but its just personal pref

true palm
#

dont you get extra distance from the additional turn around as well?

normal aspen
#

if ur schmooving yes in theory

silk lion
true palm
#

yes thats main menu storage

#

a very fun current patch glitch

normal aspen
#

wait wtf nopbody bopped me

true palm
#

as of 2 days ago ye

normal aspen
steady lynx
#

Bop them back

true palm
#

if you're interested in cp mms insomnia knows quite a bit about it, but theres 2 types, 1 thats super broken and 1 thats kind of broken

normal aspen
#

I have a tournament match to procrastinate about practice for

true palm
#

for the most of the shorter categories, you'll find current patch mms is faster than old mms

steady lynx
#

Is base patch mms the super broken?

true palm
#

i was referring to cp, but godhome bench is more broken than no bench version

#

you can get no clip out of the godhome bench one, among other things

steady lynx
#

Busted

silk lion
#

SUS??

true palm
#

it takes longer to setup though because the time going to the godhome bench on the other file is counted towards game time

#

so you'll see things like aluba% opt for benchless

#

particularly since both can go oob in kp

steady lynx
#

I love watching mms stuff even when I have no idea what is going on

normal aspen
#

yeah its basically aluba and myla that dont get noclip

dawn adder
#

qga cycle:
die

#

does it ever get better

true palm
#

i mean qga is rough, would recommend debug mod if you dont have it

dawn adder
#

yea i'm using it

true palm
#

if its blocking you from doing a run just do deepnest route

dawn adder
#

how much does qga save roughly?

true palm
#

40s optimally

low bramble
#

yea it’ll take a good amount of hours of practice to get it consistent

dawn adder
#

so it would not be worth it if i die and respawn 23 times to get the skip

low bramble
#

are you running 1221 or current patch

dawn adder
#

1221

true palm
#

but since you have to do 3 damage tanks after, dunking 3-4 times is where its not really worth

low bramble
#

yea don’t feel bad about doing deepnest route to start

digital jewel
#

villager please don't spam the channel

dawn adder
#

sorry I shall shrink my cycle to only deathsh

true palm
#

like im still doing deepnest because i'm too lazy to get consistent at qga

#

qga does get better

#

and it feels super satisfying when you get it

dawn adder
#

thank you for the hope

true palm
#

my tips for it are as follows 1) audio cues

#

you want to start the cdash after the whoosh of your dash, and jump at the end of the thud

#

and 2) visual cues, you want to be cdashing while your eye is touching the acid

#

as for practice, turn on invincibility, and practice getting the cdash without sliding down and jumping off without sliding on the qga wall

dawn adder
#

oh ok the eye I was trying to get a vauge sense of when to dash but all i could get is below the horns

true palm
#

your eye should be touching the acid, it can dip into it but if its under too far you'll be unlikely to jump at the end before dunking

#

just practice on the qga wall, focus on getting the cdash timing down, the jump timings the easiest part to learn imo

#

for reference i get qga like 40% of the time and i still dont go for it in runs

dawn adder
#

thank you

#

you have been super helpful

steady lynx
#

Why is the visual for if you are in the acid different for every acid pool?

true palm
#

because different hitboxes

steady lynx
#

Couldn't make it consistent

true palm
#

legeaters acid pool literally has an invisible wall to stop skips

#

and some pools are lenient because team cherry enjoyed certain acid skips

#

in particular i think they said they liked the ones by ismas tear

dawn adder
#

and I'm guessing crossroads -> fog canyon

steady lynx
#

They're my favourite ones

haughty fossil
#

acid hitboxes are not water hitboxes unless you have isma's when you enter the room (or the acid is told to change to water ie during isma's tear pickup) - when you don't have isma's its just a hazard hitbox below the surface of the acid

dawn adder
#

fancéy

steady lynx
#

If it wasn't for the invisible wall at leg eater 1xx could've potentially had a route that got isma's after white defender

true palm
#

all in all qga is the hardest one you'll do in any main category

steady lynx
#

ACN has some spicy acid skips

true palm
#

te has 3 pretty lax ones, low% does only the first one from any%, all skills has good setups for all of them that are lenient

#

i said main for a reason

dawn adder
#

low% dosen't have qga??

#

I think I need to switch catagories

true palm
#

low% does darknest earlier into the run

steady lynx
#

Low% goes deepnest early

true palm
#

so theres tradeoffs

steady lynx
#

Snail me

onyx spade
#

dark deepnest or qga, choose 🙂

true palm
#

darknest isnt that bad

#

its easier than qga

#

you just do reps of with lantern without lantern in each room

#

eventually you'll just learn it

#

im more comfortable in those rooms in the dark then with lantern at this point

onyx spade
#

I should really learn darknest at some point, so many meme cats have it

true palm
#

darknest is a great skill, specially for randos

#

theres a weaver spawn change on cp though

onyx spade
#

oh in which room?

true palm
#

the big one, the one with like weavers and the tree

onyx spade
#

ah

true palm
#

ye when you come from the right

#

you go up this gap

#

and one weaver is already spawned for whatever reason on cp

#

and they'll mug you

#

honestly i think the only really painful part of darknest is trying to get the grub check in the big room

#

its pretty easy to fall

onyx spade
#

I think the mask maker climb is v hard

#

though I have never tried

#

also I get what you mean about the weaver now

true palm
#

in any category that gets that grub in the dark (like happy couple), would recommend exiting the room and reentering at the top by qg entrance

#

ye that weaver is the worst

#

with dash its not that bad but i think it spawns when you load the room, so it will block the gap by the time you get there

onyx spade
#

yeah it spawns in instantly

true palm
#

in 1221 it doesnt spawn until right around when you reach the tunnel on the left

#

so its a nonissue

#

anyways deepnest in general is a bit of a coinflip of how much of a pain it can be

#

sometimes it just does this

#

as long as you know the spider spawns and can use vs to clear out spiders you should take at most 2 damage

#

as for as darknest goes its probably one of the more cozy parts of the run imo, you'll lose a lot of time if you screw up and hit spikes, but just knowing the room its a rare occurrence

#

in terms of practice learning darknest was faster than qga for me personally

any tips on switching from controller to keyboard?

#

i'll just delete if wrong channel

grizzled maple
#

Not really. Hk is not a very mechanically precise game. You should use whichever is comfortable. The only way to do that is to just do it a lot.

low bramble
#

do some rando or try out some mods/bosses to get used to the controls

normal aspen
#

get socd cleaner and do rando or a category you havent run before

hearty adder
#

Also if you're used to controller, you may find it easier to use WASD for movement instead of arrows. Also please don't use spacebar for jump or else your thumb will die

normal aspen
#

oh yeah wasd gand

#

my binds for ref

bright valve
#

my keybinds are almost the same, but attack is left click and dash is right click, with focus being F, and super dash etc doesnt matter

normal aspen
#

please dont use mouse

bright valve
#

why?

normal aspen
#

how many buttons doi u have on ur mouse

bright valve
#

lots, except it only lets me bind to L/R click

normal aspen
#

coz with the bunds i use i can have one finger each for nail jump dash and quick cast

#

which is extremely important

#

also if ur on 1221 mouse will unbind a bunch

bright valve
#

it never unbinds

haughty fossil
#

controller players go brrrrr

bright valve
#

keyboard > controller

haughty fossil
#

in hk they're equivalent

bright valve
#

i guess, left/right trigger mustbe nice for dash

haughty fossil
#

this game isn't really input precise so you can just use what you want tamershrug no matter what half your inputs will be eaten anyway

bright valve
#

fireball skips go brr

haughty fossil
#

on 1221 mouse bindings unbind themselves on quitouts, you can use blue.exe in #resources to macro mouse1 and mouse2 to h and t repsectively

bright valve
#

my mouse bindings never unbind themselves

strong vessel
#

Am I the only keyboard player that uses default bindings?

bright valve
#

yes

#

must be so uncomfortable using x to attack, what if you use WASD and you want to pogo?

haughty fossil
#

rebind inventory to v but otherwise default is fine

#

let's try not to be elitist over control style, its honestly a little petty

strong vessel
#

Yeah, I did that

low bramble
#

i might switch binds so i can have one finger for dash, nail, and quick cast each

strong vessel
#

Inv on i is cursed

normal aspen

if ur using defaults ur not gonna be using wasd to move

bright valve
#

im not judging, i just hated the default

after the tourney at least

ill put an hour later, changing my keybinds to better ones and practising them in the HoG, what bosses do you recommend?

Hey guys, im trying to set up LiveSplit and im trying to use the autosplitter menu, ive set up my options and they look like this but when I press ok they dont show in my splits. What am I doing wrong?

snow dome
#

This is the setting for when the timer splits.
The other screen is for what it displays.

next gorge
#

is there not an automatic splitter, that has it pre-configured?

dapper cove
#

there might be a splits file you can download

snow dome
#

You can download some pre made ones

dapper cove
#

i personally enjoy making my own though

snow dome
#

But you're on the right track here. You want to finish making these, then just make the layout on the other screen you have before this one.

next gorge
#

but it doesnt split for you right? you have to press a key or something

snow dome
#

No

#

It does

next gorge
#

oh alright

#

so

#

I re do it on the other?

snow dome
#

Basically, yes

#

I'll give you an example

#

Just firing up ls

#

This is a very basic example

next gorge
#

that makes sense

snow dome
#

The screen on the right is when you want the timer to split, the screen on the left is your own display

next gorge
#

alright

#

perfect that really helps

#

also one more question

snow dome
#

Notice here that there's an extra one on the bottom on the display. The timer automatically stops on any ending, so you will have one extra on that left screen than the right

next gorge
#

do I need to make HK not fullscreen so the overlay can show?

#

nice alright

snow dome
#

It depends on how you're capturing it

dapper cove
#

depending on your settings it'll be pinned on top

#

i know with me my ls is pinned on top of whatever i'm doing

next gorge
#

but when I have HK open it doesnt show the window

snow dome
#

If you're using OBS then you can just make it display over the top, but if you want to see it you'll need to use HK in Windowed mode

next gorge
#

ok ok

#

thats what I figured

#

and it starts automatically

#

?

snow dome
#

Yep

next gorge
#

last last question

snow dome
#

Make sure you start Livesplit after you get to the title screen

next gorge
#

u said it auto stopps on ending

dapper cove
#

starts and ends automatically if set up properly

next gorge
#

yh yh

#

but

#

if I want it to stop at a different point

#

how can I do that

hearty adder
#

"end-triggering autosplit"

dapper cove
#

if the ending split isn't the end of the game, if you set up the split correctly, it'll stop for you

next gorge
#

got it

hearty adder
#

will make the last autosplit stop the timer

snow dome
#

Some splits don't work unless that's on.

hearty adder
#

for example, if you activate end-triggering autosplit in an any% split file, it'd make the timer stop at Herrah (or thk scream, whichever your last autosplit is)

next gorge
#

ok

#

that makes sense

#

thank you very much

hearty adder
#

And also Ordered Splits is less taxing on cpu iirc

snow dome
#

Also this, yes

hearty adder
#

so honestly use that always

snow dome
#

Yeah, the only time you would ever not use it is if you're not sure what order you're doing things.

#

Which is.... Unlikely

next gorge
#

um

#

if I set to end triggering

#

does it mean the last split stops

#

im guessing so

snow dome
#

Yeah

next gorge
#

ok perfect

snow dome
#

Note that none of the endings have a split

#

So you'll need to not tick it if you are doing an ending run

next gorge
#

👍

#

Will let you know if I have further issues

#

which I defo will

#

😄

#

Can I do windowed borderless?

#

so I dont have the bar at the top?

stuck raptor
#

yes. add -popupwindow to game launch options

next gorge
#

wat

#

in game options or through stream

true palm
#

steam

next gorge
#

oh what...

#

and

#

how?

#

I cant see that option

true palm
#

you have to type it

next gorge
#

alright

#

did

#

it

#

testing

#

wait but it isnt full screen

#

I can see my taskbar and a gap at the top

stuck raptor
#

so change game resolution to match your monitor resolution

next gorge
#

ah got it

#

s

#

PERFECT!!!

#

thank you

#

Can I remove all of the empty slots in my live split menu?

snow dome
#

Click Layout settings

#

You can go through those menus to get the exact look you want

next gorge
#

ummm

#

im in "layout settings"

#

ah got it

#

btw u know you said how to record?

#

did you just mean

#

like the screen

#

or something different

true palm
#

standard software is obs studio

next gorge
#

got it all working dude

#

cheers

#

when I exit

#

it keeps going

snow dome
#

Yep

#

That's correct

next gorge
#

do I just need to re open Livesplit

#

close and re open

snow dome
#

Just reset your timer

next gorge
#

where

snow dome
#

There's controls when you right click, and you can go into layout settings or whatever to change the keybinds

next gorge
#

got it

@stoic sluice, you joined Speedrun Racer.

simple goblet
#

Is there a way to lower the quality of HK without making the screen smaller. Because the only way I can record without the game lagging is if I make the screen small.

snow dome
#

There are a couple of settings under video that can help

#

Lowering the blur quality really helps mine

fair island
#

change the resolution when the game is in full screen

#

So it reduces quality rather than change the size

simple goblet
#

I think that worked once but now when I try that it just keeps it the same quality

drowsy tangle
#

What's the KP WR? :)

hearty adder
hearty adder
simple goblet
#

Yea I set the quality to 720p and the fps to 30. Which seems like as low as I could go without it looking terrible

drowsy tangle
hearty adder
#

that's still watchable, the game's artstyle is pretty simple

#

any lower than that though would probably be too much

#

which patch is it?

#

I record cp at 720p/30fps but can only record 1221 at 480p/30fps

dreamy token
#

where is path of pain speedrun guide

hearty adder
#

always make sure to check the speedrun.com guides and resources sections, they are usually very helpful

dapper cove
#

just realised i have no clue how to do this how do i set it up to where you can see my keyboard inputs on stream

simple goblet
dark blaze
#

Nohboard

hearty adder
dark blaze
#

I think theres something else with obs you can also use, you can find it on yt

dapper cove
#

ty zana and hunt

#

i do use obs so i'll find something

hearty adder
#

Nohboard requires a window capture + a color key filter to key out the background, the input overlay plugin works with already transparent files

dapper cove
#

i've finally left slobs for streaming and it's so much nicer

hearty adder
#

I have overlays specifically for hollow knight, if you want the files

dapper cove
#

it's alright

#

half the fun is customising it for my own setup

hearty adder
#

making your own is very confusing at times though; if you ever feel too frustrated, just dm me

#

i also have the .psd files for tinkering

dapper cove
#

ok :)

hearty adder
#

it's mostly about setting up the .ini correctly, that's a pain

yeah i'm trying to get the keyboard to display the way i want it to

i'll dm you

#

(if you're ok with that)

dapper cove
#

yeah that's fine

simple goblet
hearty adder
#

just windows and linux afaik

simple goblet
#

are there any keyboard overlays that work for mac

true palm
#

idk of any off the top of my head but if you're a tight cpu budget, probably should stick with the essentials, mainly the timer

#

saw that you're on mac, recommend this

#

the standard timer for pc and the autosplitter arent going to work on mac, so thats my recommendation for an alternative

#

you can pull it up on your phone as well if need be

simple goblet
#

I've tried Livesplit One buts its not great because It doesn't have global hotkeys

strong vessel
#

Yeah, I used to play on mac and there's sadly pretty much nothing we can do

#

Livesplit is just so helpful

true palm
#

ye i'd recommend having it up on your phone

simple goblet
#

yea that works but It just can't be on OBS

true palm
#

i've personally never used this, but i've heard it works

#

has global hotkey support

simple goblet
#

I'll try it

shut beacon

How many hits does the radiance take in the bit where she shoots swords down from the sky?

#

I'm doing a true ending run

last inlet
#

!wiki radiance

sage veldtBOT
shut beacon
#

I ment in terms of shade souls ?

#

Sorry

last inlet
#

250 hp so 6 shade souls assuming you're also counting damage from nail

shut beacon
#

Oki thanks

last inlet
#

alternatively 5 shade soul hits with 10 nail hits

shut beacon
#

Thank you

#

I'll try that then

true palm
#

oh for te

#

are you going for doubles -> dreamnail or singles -> full soul

#

because the former is faster and easier

#

the latter i do 3 shade souls

last inlet
#

yeah i should have specified shade soul hits

#

if you get doubles it's obviously half as many casts

true palm
#

if you just get full soul, and then go for 3 doubles the phase pushes

#

alternatively you can go for 2 heals and 2 doubles and you'll end the phase with some extra soul

last inlet
#

be far away enough

true palm
#

jump off to the side, pogo spikes and use wings

#

getting to the right height for doubles is riskier

#

but saves a considerable amount of time

#

full soul on the platform phase doesnt matter since she'll always spawn on the bottom center platform and you can farm soul fast

#

in general recommend playing with hp on for radiance, they push to climb phase at 1300 and start the fight with 3000

#

then move to trying to predict hp and see how close you are

knotty vigil
#

can you get speedrunner role for aluba%

I just did my first speedrun (for the achievements!) and honestly it was harder than I imagined it could be, first time actually having trouble with Watcher Knights and The Hollow Knight, but it was still fun!

hidden citrus
#

So i wanna get into speedrunning but i don’t have any way to record my runs as i don’t have a computer. Any ideas?

hearty adder
#

you can record with a phone or other kind of camera

hidden citrus
#

I didn’t know the leaderboards accepted that

grizzled maple
#

You also don't even technically need to record if youre just doing it for fun. The server we are moving to soon will not be role locked

#

Yeah you can upload a file from phone to a place like youtube

hidden citrus
#

Nah i wanna have the #1 spot for switch as nobody has done any runs there

grizzled maple
#

Run that by me again

#

As the person who routed and ran the switch categories to inspire people to run it i am very interested in what you meant

hidden citrus
#

You could just record a normal playtrough and count it as a speedrun

grizzled maple
#

Have you seen the leaderboard or...?

hidden citrus
#

Like an hour ago

hearty adder
hidden citrus
#

Wait lemme check

grizzled maple
#

Every category has been run. Some are kind of well optimized for what they are

hidden citrus
#

Oh i had it on low%

grizzled maple
#

Low% has been run

#

Also low% is extremely hard

#

Thats why only trombone has done it

#

You cannot just do any playthrough for that

hidden citrus
#

Idk why i didn’t see them

#

And i know

grizzled maple
#

Thats not console first of all

hidden citrus
#

Yeah i noticed after a while lol

#

But why are there no runs there

hearty adder
#

Filter doesn't work

#

you need to go to the Console Runs tab

hearty adder
grizzled maple
#

All console runs are under the console tab because of timing method. It wouldn't be fair to share a board

#

PC can do loadless

#

Whats the viability of getting Fotf in the current NMG route? I feel that it would be a time save given the amount of bosses required to beat the game, especially WK's, and it may even be possible for a one cycle uumuu, not sure if you would need sharpened nail for that though?

digital jewel
#

no, one cycle is very not possible

#

uumuu has 300 hp

#

as for fury in general, getting it is very slow, overcharming animation is really slow and you lose some damage tanks as well

#

so overall it only saves time if it lets you get a faster uumuu cycle

grizzled maple
#

Fury is only an increase from 5 > 9 on base nail and 9 > 16 on nail 1

#

Its very negligible damage compared to spells

digital jewel
#

with current strats fury would be worth it for current patch in order to get a 2 cycle uumuu

#

but not worth it for 1221

#

also using "worth it" assuming you can actually play optimally with fury

frank obsidian

How much does VS with SS do?

frank obsidian

And base is 15 iirc

verbal stag
#

yes

grizzled maple
#

Fury is worth it in spelless PES_Happy

bright valve
#

16 damage from sharpened nail and Fotf is only 4 less than a spell, i understand its not viable for the current route, but it could theoretically make uumuu faster, meh

grizzled maple
#

You also need to take into account overcharming like xero said because spells will still be dps and also the time it would take to
-get fury
-get the money for the upgrade (usually a journal)
-get the upgrade which changes relic routing to a slower one
-hits to get into fury

frank obsidian
grizzled maple
#

Its just a massive time sink. You probably don't even come close to breaking even in a theoretical one cycle uumuu

bright valve
#

thats true, but hits to fury dont matter as you can still damage boost to where you want to go on enemies. The rest is fair though

grizzled maple
#

No you lose time on hits. The screen freezes

#

Iirc its .5

digital jewel
#

also since you're overcharmed you can only take 2 hits

frank obsidian
grizzled maple
#

Yes getting hit loses time in this game

bright valve
#

i respectfully withdraw my argument

digital jewel
#

this loses time in the herrah segment where you want to ideally do 3 damage tanks

frank obsidian
dreamy bough
#

and unovercharming is slow

grizzled maple
#

This is a really ancient route idea btw

ionic sparrow
#

getting hit by a devout wrong is like incredibly rare

grizzled maple

People have talked about it for actual years

ionic sparrow

its really easy to do the dmg rotation on them

okay

frank obsidian

is it allowed to contact src mods? just curious

potent mountain

not for a verify, cause they know runs get submitted so theyll get to it

knotty vigil
#

alr

digital jewel

we are aware of when runs get submitted yes

potent mountain
#

when its verified you can usually tag A SRC mod to get the SR role, link the run along with the tag, mods can give the role too

frank obsidian

it'll get verified after any older runs are verified

good thing the speedruns only like 10 minutes

frank obsidian

OMFG im dumb. In my Aluba% I sit there for 30 seconds like an idiot waiting for it SCfloppaXD

snow dome
#

If you used LiveSplit, it will be time without loads (game time) rather than actual time (real time).

bright valve
#

using time with loads would be unfair on those with a bad pc/console

snow dome
#

Yeah, consoles can't be timed without loads so they each have their own board.

#

Because two different PS4's should -generally- perform the same.

you're just pogoing a squit to reach a higher place, nothing glitchy about it tamershrug

greenpath squit skip is honestly better than the fireball skip for a casual speedrunner, it still saves lots of time and its easy as hell

molten aurora

Even as a casual speedrunner, it's good to try for the fb skip and use the squit as a backup.

is there a new version of modinstaller I need or something? Every time I try to run mine it quickly flashes a window then closes

#

and I don't see any background task for it running in my task manager

#

hm, seems to have worked!

#

thanks Alprechim

knotty vigil
#

my first all skills run ended with the dark room in crystal peaksbeesive

#

is there any alternate routes to avoid dark room?

potent mountain
#

you cannot avoid dark room

knotty vigil
#

damn guess i'll have to practice it

verbal stag
#

if you learn the cdash strat its not bad at all

last inlet
#

there are some fairly safe cdashes you can use

potent mountain
#

you can do the cdash thing which is just cdashing off of like every platform

knotty vigil
#

ok

last inlet
#

like i managed to get through it pretty fast with just cdash off everything into dash if i dont land on a platform and walljump when you hit a wall

#

if you apply that to every platform you land on it works

elfin vortex
#

Cdash dark room is safe and quick to learn. Just dash to first plat, jump and shoot a fireball. Jump and dash into the wall on the left and cdash from there. Then yh just cdash from atop every plat u hit

#

That being said is there a video on jonis dark room that I can watch that explains it?

#

Having trouble with it rn

rain quarry
#

so I just got the HK downpatch to 1.2.2.1 and it's not detecting my controller, does 1.2.2.1 have Dualshock 4 controller support or is something strange going on?

How do you spike tunnel?

leaden python
#

if you're talking about the one from All Skills then I recommend you to watch tutorial video by pisces. The whole playlist should be in guides section on speedrun.com

just ran a test and i can now beat wk with any%nmg gear 30% of the time. a lot better than a month ago when i started running and grinded them for 6 hours straight and didn't beat them a single time

leaden python
#

yeah that's how I started running this game actually. I did a whole day of WK practice, then started a run next day, killed them like some try, and then was dying in the infected vengefly room for an hour and decided that any% is not for me shroompog

hallow orchid
#

Damn that's my story vali except I kept doing any% until I finally did rando and saw the light

#

You were a wiser man than I

desert kiln
#

My first run I did I died in infected vengefly but I just finished the run anyway since the bench is just a stag away

#

But it took me ages to beat wk

#

They’re still super hard

short spire
#

i feel that on the infected vengefly room

#

iirc on my first attempt it took me 3 hours to beat wk then i lost my shade in the infected vf room and was like fuck this im learning 106

desert kiln
#

They move so fast and are so annoying

#

And when you get hit by them you realize how short your i-frames are

leaden python
#

stories like this is why we try to convince people not to use any% route for their 5 hours achievo runs feelspkman

#

"wr is just 32 minutes, I bet 5 hours is free". Well yeahhhh.......

desert kiln
#

...but wr is crazy hard to do and takes thousands of hours of dedication

#

So you probably shouldn’t go that route for 5 hours lol

flint dragon
#

I was going for 5 hour achevment and got sub 4 hours lmao

#

im not shure if thats impressive at all

leaden python
#

we're happy if you're happy

flint dragon
#

ok

molten aurora
#

I got tired of missing the hornet fb skip in runs, so I've been practicing it for about 2 hours non-stop, now about 50% of the time I can hit the skip with 1 fb shroompog

productive practice? that's a skill beyond me

im trying to optimize my recording settings. does lowering the audio bitrate make a difference?

#

You are learning 112, right? If I remember correctly

rain quarry
#

okay so I've been trying to download patch 1.2.2.1 to start learning the any% nmg run, but the steam downpatcher isn't working and it's giving me this error, can anyone help?

molten aurora
uneven pike
#

ill take that as a yes

#

ynow what would be really cool to see

#

if it doesnt exist alr

#

a hollow knight tas

#

play the game with degub mod

#

timescale to like 1/10th speed

#

and splice rooms

molten aurora
#

I think because HK is made with unity it's near impossible to tas.

#

A segmented speedrun would be really cool though.

uneven pike
#

a segmented one with timescale to make it easier for the player to do really hard stuff

#

i might work on that

#

im not incredible skilled, but you dont need skill when the game is on 10% speed

#

or at least not all that much

short spire
#

doing a segmented run with rooms done at 1/10 speed would probably take a longer time to do than doing it without timescale

#

its already a ridiculous amount of work even without that

uneven pike
#

yea but wouldnt it possible to perform literally perfect rooms

molten aurora
#

But then you'd have to used to the 10x slower speed, and relearn all the timings at that speed. On top of what ax said of it taking an absurd amount of time.

Does anybody know any good timers for MacBook

molten aurora
#

As far as I know, the autosplitter doesn't work on mac, you can still use livesplit, but you'll just need to use real time. Feel free to correct me.

knotty vigil
#

I can’t run it on my Mac, as it doesn’t have the ability to run the .exe

uneven scarab
#

Mac is heck to play on tbh

knotty vigil
#

yeah but I don’t have anything else which sucks

uneven scarab
#

But I would say 1hr30min is good for all skills, 40min for any%

onyx spade
#

yeah I play on a macbook but run windows through bootcamp

normal aspen
#

sub 40 any% is prob more like sub 1h all skills

true palm
#

considering you most likely wont be downpatching on mac i'd be be aiming for something more like sub 50 rta in any% and avoiding all skills

#

my personal recommendation would be to use bootcamp or some other program to install windows on your mac, and use that

#

Re learning spike tunnel with slightly different inputs, I've been here for ~30 minutes and I'm still not super consistent

If u have an m1 then ur out of options unless ur willing to play through a vm or manually split the timesq

#

how precise is the spike tunnel skip? i cant recreate whatever witchcraft colliemonster just did

normal aspen
#

its not too bad, its just very feel based

#

once u get it down its down

On 1221 it can become annoying if you have a lot of freeze frames
