#💨・speedrunning
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
after anura II (when spore grotto unlocks) it is the middle of the day in my runs, if i do another dungeon i don't have enough time to fish and give the fox the stuff before morning
i play anura 3 and usually i can make it in time for night
ok i guess i have to simply be better
I'm going to practice on easy, then go live later this afternoon with any% EH runs.
Good luck
you can speedrun this game?
I mean, the damage build seems to be a good start to speedrunning, double damage + hammer + increased damage overtime + tarot cards to increase damage
I've had some bosses last 20 seconds, some even less
People speedrun rhythm heaven. Any game can and will be speedrun.
@copper trout For the rules for extra hard runs, it should state that as soon as you are able to able to open the settings menu, you have to switch the difficulty to extra hard.
nah i think selecting eh when the game actually asks you to is fine
yeah the idea is to do it as soon as the game asks you
the demo?
also, if anyone wants to work on the ASL with me, just dm me
did shamura last night with 1000-1190% was nutty
ASL?
ngl idk much about speed running i just browsed through channel and saw that so idk what ASL is
whats the ASL
all i can think is american sign language
all i can think of is Age/sex/location from AOL days lmao
ahh
why would american sign language come up in speedrunning lmao
(im sorry if that sounded rude)
i didnt think it would it was just all i could think of 💀
fair nough
No, the main game
yeah no when the game gives you the option, then do it
Yes there is someone working on the autosplitter
oh
you have a nickname, it's you LOL
how do you skip these screens? lol
there only short
beat my score again 1:21:49 any% Let's goooooooooooo
Can you beat Cult of the Lamb with no sermons?
don't know any way to skip the tutorial one but otherwise yes
They literally blitz the game before it becomes a problem
I wanted to create a set of challenges with different levels like level 1: no doctrines, level 2: no doctrines and no sermons etc progressively getting harder. Would that be interesting to anyone?
Only asked because someone mentioned beating without doctrines
i mean the current any% doesn't use sermons or doctrines
the thing is, most mechanics are tied to follower quest
the game introduces dissenters for example by having one give you a quest when your faith reaches zero, which explains it to you and tells you how to deal with them.
if you never accept that quest, no one will dissent
never accept = never talking to them
and on easy difficulty at least you have very very very long time before anyone dies of hunger etc.
so you can actually just play dungeons only after the tutorial
Basically any% is already at the point of just needing better play and luck.
devotion% and 100% are more interesting since you definitely have to deal with cult side of things to complete the run.
The whole point would be the challenges would be on extra hard to make it harder if you wanted more of a challenge it wouldn’t really be for speedrunning
Which in heinsight doesn’t make much sense to ask it in this channel
But I assumed since all the best players would be active here they’d be one’s interested in making it harder
Save for discovering glitches.
click esc
cant skip with controller lmao
sick
Okay, for everyone who is timing themselves, what difficulty are y'all doing?
easy only so far, i'll let other people suffer while they try to come up with harder diff routes :)
And then theres me…who hasn’t beaten the game yet and has no interest in any%.
I think a no hit any% speedrun could be pain fun when people start getting really good
wrote down everything i know including my any% route so i don't forget stuff

You can trade health for better damage output in fights (as long as you survive) After killing Leshy, in...
was thinking about something like this too but after getting the golden fleece every speedrun becomes a hitless run basically
if you were so good that you didn't mess up anything then you can submit it to 2 leaderboards, that sounds kinda lame tbh
In easy mode any% I don’t even get Golden Fleece
In extra hard sure I would but that’s because from what I’ve seen the run is >2x longer
yea, these are just my thoughts, i'm not saying it's the perfect strat, you might very much be wasting time on it idk
What ever way you slice it were not really going to be intentionally hurting ourselves. Unless diseased hearts becomes a strat
Is it ok if i ask to pin this document so new people can find out the current route faster
I suggest Deathless runs
sure

@lyric ermine can you pin this?
Done! Sorry for the delay
this is very useful. will definitely give this a try sometime! Thanks for making this!
whats the 100% rout?
fucking kallamar
crying
@calm peak more curses is 100% better
hounds alone makes it worth
thx
Yeah, I think going for more curses is better than going for bane weapons
I've stopped using upgrades unsure if it saves time
yeah definitely
nah it does
enemies in silk cradle take too much time to kill without them
but if you keep good gold fleece buff you can almost one shot anything
yeah but stacking it initially takes longer with lower weapon lvl
you can nicely fit in the 2 sermons to get the upgrade too
u go 8 followers before heket because you will sack one to the fox and you need 15 points for 2 upgrades, do a sermon, and then do the next one when you're in the temple for the fleece anyway
i think it's very much worth it
at least if ur better than me and dont drop golden fleece stacks every 30 seconds
lol i feel that
uea
thats my justification too
tbh I'm still doing safe strats until I'm doing better w/ golden fleece
once I get comfortable and stop taking damage it stops matternig what weapon you have I think lol
just reset every run halfway through like a real man
I DID THAT
and then I got mad and just completed a run lol
imo imo
knife/sword is a little slower i think though
claws are best
honestly really good there
dude this game is insanely frustrating
claws are great but i like axe the best
rude...
theres an animation cancel you can do on the claws to permanently chain the 3rd strike
i fucking died on calamari while fucking
sword is best ur all high on menticide mushrooms
in the animation that would kill him
animation cancel is unreliable it seems
its best if ur good
also I love my split names lol
but imo hammer best
animation cancel is great but you have to stop doing it really often against bosses
cause taking damage both breaks fleece AND stops you from chaining the 3rd strike
even against regular enemies
yeh
bc spacing lmao
less so against regulars cause last hit just has ABSURD range
why are people fighting shamura first why not just do them in order
Midas is a backup golden fleece
I find the spider area harder then acnhordeep and would rather restart the run 40 min in instead of 1 hour in
I think that on extra hard, you might prefer to do Cradle before Anchordeep because of the sickness. I'm not sure if sickness kills faster on EH.
i think anchordeep is harder
im just more likely to not die if ive been warmed up
also i found out that you can open doors early
even if you dont have the followers for it
as long as you have the followers before going in itll still unlock just fine
at least it seems
need to test more tbh
not sure what exactly you mean here, but u just need to unlock the areas once and then they won't close again, so you can unlock silk cradle with 12 and don't have to worry about killing your own followers in there and losing access to the area or anything
is there a coop mode planed in future ? does any1 know?
so i unlocked silk cradle when i had 9 followers and it opened just fine, waited until after anura to go in when i had iirc 14 followers, and nothing changed
i assume if you open it early and immediately go in something changes but idk what
Also if you don't kill Shamura before they will spawn some enemies in anchordeep
ye true
We need a wrong warp but the devs did a good job of not letting that happen 
Imao Ima try to set a record for fastest to get all doctrines this patch using a major glitch
We should be able to warp through rooms already explored smh
Saves tons of time
The glitch ima try to use is if you use a auto clicker or just click fast enough you can get several doctrines at once by clicking it right between the animation for the thing to begin
And only takes 1 commandment stone
And get few upgrades without that cool down
Turbo requires either separate rules or a vote on legality.
Although if it's for doctrines, it's for 100%.
Maybe we just allow turbo for 100%?
it depends on how fast you have to click lmao
i think we should not allow it for now
come back once hundy is routed
def a no imo
im not against it but we shouldnt pre-fire and allow it
either we allow turbo button or we disallow the glitch
let things play out then we can discuss
if its humanly viable then we should allow the glitch
otherwise it's stupid because some people are gonna have faster times because they clicked 7 times in 0,2 secs and someone else 5 times
it just depends on how much of a mashing fest it is
does anyone have a video of the trick
i havent even seen it
Congrats to those who made mod status on the boards
i believe the people who were added were demo mods
"congrats" lol have fun retiming 10 hour 100% runs suckers
It’s also really unpredictable
I discovered it by accident cause I had my auto clicker the same as meditating by accident
will do
It’s just very unpredictable I’ve tried many times after it doesn’t work well
is it unpredictable because of the mashing or the mechanics of the glitch
because if its the latter then turbo wont help and we have no reason to allow it
Mechanics I believe because the auto clicker stays consistent
But still didn’t seem predictable
thats my thoughts currently
I’ve tested it a lot 1/20 times it will work with a autoclicker
And idk about you all but im not at button mashing so that’s like 1/30 times
how many cps
That’s about the tries to do it for me
ye
Like 200
oh boi
I tried adjusting it for more and less
There might be a specific cps that would work
That would save a lot of time
But it doesn’t work at all almost in my attempts to recreate
It
I don’t know if it will end up saving much time
Unless somehow it’s made consistent
100% is going to be defined by grinding blueprints and devotion. The former i expect to take longer. I really dont think 100% is going to be the precise with routing
I don’t even plan speedrunning This game unless updates get me to think the game is better but I’m just telling about a glitch which
Has a lot of potential
When I did it by accident I got 3
Doctrines
Like 3 different doctrines paths?
Nah had to be the same doctrine path
They overlapped and it’s basically just 3 ahead of what you have
It might be very bad to do if you maxed the doctrines exempt for 1 on that path
Okay. That definitely has applications for 100%. Less real time save and more just getting the doctrines instilled.
We’ll have to see how hard it is to do that and see whats going on.
yeah
lessgoo
gg
gg
not officially retimed, game time would probably be 1:29:xx after retiming.
instead of being mad about losing golden fleece stacks i just don't get the fleece
big brain time
Why is there no speedruns on Speedrun.com
to prevent having to reset the board daily because of devs fixing bugs
runs are accepted in a week
Oh so runs will be going on there in a weeks time?
ye
And there's me thinking my run was good D:
good point
im trying to understand what u did differently other than just not getting a fleece that saves so much time, like u take tariots , which are slow, and u take alot of damage. much confus but great run
they're just better
praying for good rng > fleece?
ye thats what it seems
cool
An hour 30 nice
this run has a lot of mistakes
but i was commentating the whole time so at least i have a submission video for marathons
😈
thanks, you can lose hp on easy diff it's no problem, you have so much hp on easy, but yea once you have golden fleece you can't anymore
so you pretty much face tank so u dont can save time
i guess over multiple levels that works
yea
i'm really wondering how that other guy got a 1:21 tho, i just had a run that was on perfect pace (for my standards) but it was only gonna be a 1:26 or something if i didn't fk up
seems wild that i can still save 5+ minutes
my current pace is about 1:25 with fleece if i dont die on stupid shit and take damage RIGHT WHEN I ENTER BOSSES
its half rng half execution
hjarl plays super risky
like i lose a lot of time to just playing safe
mostly to just finish runs so i get used to mechanics
risking what? just roll and bonk
he almost never second guesses things and almost never swaps weapons or curses, or picks up tarot cards or hearts
he just goes straight to the boss
and if youre lucky you get there instantly but
good rng
dead ends really aren't my problem, i think you can fairly easy predict the level generator
yeah a bit
i tried so many times
but sometimes you just get unlucky lol
Ye....
ah okay
Softlock central
its not that far in the run but damn i was not aware that id have to keep track of that
Its just get thw chest after first combat rooms
The big one
And then thats usually enough
nw, hopefully they change how that works so ppl dont get softlocked anymore
well, to get softlocked there u actually have to run straight past every single chest without collecting anything
i was about to say that
but also like even in that case some people naturally play that fast
if something seems not that important i will typically skip it, i probably would have gotten softlocked had i not wanted to take the game super slow bc i was excited for it
even though it should naturally progress to that conclusion it probably shouldn't result in a softlock. the beginning quests could give you a tiny amount of gold like 10-15 and there would be no issue tbf.
This is what im thinking for doctrines for 100% right now. I was prioritizing devotion generation/loyalty over basically everything so things definitely might change if we find we dont need to go so hard on it
W1 Faithful
W2 Inspire
W3 Rite of enlightenment
P1 Bribe
A1 Belief in sacrifice
A2 resurrection
W4 Glory through toil
L1 Ascend
S1 Ritual Fast
S2 ???? (cannibal or grass)
S3 Ocean’s Bounty
S4 Belief in prohibition
L2 Either (pit fight or wedding)
L3 belief in absolution
L4 Loyalty enforcer
P2 belief in materialism
P3 Alms for the Poor
A3 Either (respect elder or sacrifice elders)
A4 return to earth
P4 sacral architecture
What counts as 100%?
All crown abilities All shrine nodes All follower forms All blueprints All tarot cards All fish Defeat all bosses, including The One Who Waits
all fleeces?
trash mods
100% is pretty self explanatory though probably just an oversite while making the category it happens
They are literally starting the conversation themselves…
yeah I mean it's probably a oversight. I feel like it's pretty obvious must for the run.
so, my take on it
all follower forms
all tarot cards
all fish (?)
all shrine nodes
all doctrines
all crown abilities
all fleeces
defeat TOWW
fish speedrun
all fleeces/crown abilities includes all bosses & witnesses
and all tarot cards includes knucklebones
all fish idk, that's really debatable, you don't unlock anything from catching all fish
Is it possible to do a sacrifice ratoo run?
The only fish really needed is the Lobster, Squid, Crab, and Octopus
yeah I don't know about fish lol. I feel like it's a random item that isn't used for anything but food.
I feel like all food should be included in the list if all fish is.
this is a very funny misc run idea btw
truuue
Sorta random and i know the runs have just started but does anyone know if its faster to grab golden fleece first and run or just go through the game
i think i have a fast route in order to get the fleece
my list for 100%:
all follower forms
all blueprints (the only exclusion i'd say is fine is no graveyard since you need a specific doctrine for that?)
all crown menu unlocks (fleeces, crown abilities, etc.)
4 doctrines in each category (you cant actually have a run that takes all of them buuuut this is close enough)
all quests (minus follower quests)
all tarots
defeat toww
we already get golden fleece first
I feel like most people feel like gold fleece is faster
if u never drop golden fleece stacks it's better
I also feel like we should have to build everything but thats seems a bit overboard
its best to not drop stacks but as long as you dont die its faster
Whats the earliest you get it?
it depends how often you get hit 😅
i get it after the second anura
I thought two from wolf, 1 from mushroom guy, and 1 from fishing
yup thats the run
thats ideal but
i tend to be in fishing at midday
and you have to wait for night for the darkness quests
so i typically end up just getting 2 from fishing lmao
yeah
you can but it's inconsistent and you'll reset alot
frankly its not worth
anura is easy
golden fleece wont really help
time investment for return isnt reaaaaally worth
it might be faster though
you only save a few minutes if you just do fishing
if you get hella good rng
it's not worth
What counts as time for all bosses? last hit on the alst boss
first frame of credits i believe
first black frame after kill toww
for all bosses you need to kill him
for any% it's def faster to sacrifice yourself
any% is just get to credits, all bosses is kill all bosses and get to credits
nah, i think you can spare him and still let the credits roll afterwards, you defeated him in combat
but idk if its faster
for any% you just sacrifice
oh right you can spare him after true
He’s saying defeat TOWW and the spare him
lol
after u defeat toww you can choose whether to kill him or to spare him and let hiim join ur cult, both times credits roll afterwards
yeah I forgot lol
I wanna get into speedruuning the game because its really fun
so hopefully ill be able to submit a decent run
1 hour 45 mins for easy mode any% is a decent run rn
2 hours is decent but 1 hour 45 mins is to aim for
-50? u had a 3 hour time before? lol
I wouldn't worry too hard about if the run is "good", rather I look at it as form of improvement, and slowly good runs will come.
Always try to beat yourself
I was focusing on the campsite more in that run but in this one I realised you don't need to do any of it, just some beds and I went to the first weapon upgrade in the Serums
Idek if you even need beds
you dont
all you need to do is feed your cult once
you'll never play long enough in easy for it to be an issue
after heket
Yeah they literally just bitz the dungeons.
And do kallamar as the last bishop so the disease doesn’t get to kill anyone
That makes sense
How do you choose him last?
Just go in the other door
Nothing stops you from opening the other doors
Yeah lmao
you just get 12 followers by the time you finish anura
blew my fucking mind
lol
Learn something new everyday
Also means Shamura doesn’t show up with her brains out and spawning spiders during the anchordeep dungeon
That’s what’s I’ve heard
Btw what is the best weapon for the speedrun? I like the hammer but idk the best for it
I say sword
I like hammer and axe personally
I prefer the axe normally but for speed I find sword is good
claw and sword are alright, and dagger I hate
Ah okay thank you :) I see it's also preferences too
I actually like the claws a lot. Even though I haven’t pulled off the quick kill with that
I found a glitch with the claw where If you dodge before the final hit animation ends you can keep spamming the 3rd hit
I can’t stand the claw which shows it very much is preference
If people didn't know that. Probably did but pro tip
Yeah thats what im talking about
yea thats known, works with all weapons
it also cancels the end lag
There probably will become a best weapon. But for now we’re not a the point where all dungeons must be done with the best weapon to compete.
I found out as soon as I casually played it that you attack faster by hitting dodging and hitting
yeah
Its a shame it is RNG for the weapons but oh well
nah its good, forces you to get good with them all
True
eventually you wanna be able to go through the dungeon no matter what
not take any weapon swaps
I'm switching dagger when I can tho 
Idk about not taking weapon swaps
Is there a way to tell what way is the right way because sometimes I go to dead ends or is it just luck
If a weapon is faster it may save the time it takes to pick it up
starting weapons are mostly not rng btw, you always get sword > dagger > axe in darkwood, and claws 1st in anura, unless you unlock new weapons/curses, then you will get a newly unlocked one. don't know completely how starting weapons are determined but there definitely is some pattern.
Also I was thinking about when it was worth getting the fleece or not, namely the golden one but I couldn't think of the time it would save over the fishing time
it saves time
with good rng fishing doesn't take long at all. and it saves so much in the dungeons
if you keep it all the way at least
That's good to know thank you :)
depends when you get it
if you get an immediate weapon swap then yeah its worth
but
I don't know man I think swapping from dagger to axe is worth pretty much anywhere lol
perhaps true lmao
any% easy is a 1:21 by hjarl
For now until i beat it
I like confidence :3

i dont control this thing lmao
what's your pb?
someone else does
oh i thought u did mb
I couldnt complete it cause some how I didnt do the Kallamari fight
oh 
Is that WR fleeceless
no
I was looking at the door like why is it not opening
no
basically every run gets golden fleece lol
lmao
what lmao
did you complete the fight?
if someone gets wr without fleece I'd be shocked
No lol
sadge
I'm guessing you go straight to fishing when you unlock it
no
no
Oop
after the second Anura boss
1 fish 2 fox and a sozo
third*
that way you can go to sozo
you go after unlocking spore grotto
after zepar it is about 3/4 of the day, giving you time to catch fish, before night time when u can talk to the fox
1 sozo 1 fish 2 fox
There's a fox?
you give him a fish in the fishing place, and a follower in the mushroom place
but yeah you sacrifice a fish and then 1 follower to him
at least if youre optimal
the route can bend a bit
Thank you all for explaining :)
np
i've had insanely good rng once and was so far ahead but it meant nothing because i had to sit there and wait for night lol
if i go into dungeon then i wont make it back before night ends
life sucks man
true
yeah lmao
Golden Fleece nerf incoming?
I suppose
how much playtime do you all have lol
I do, but I can give anyone permissions lmao
updated 🙂 Just request perms if you want lol
I have like 32 only
16.8
Whats the current state of speedrunning?
1:45 is p average for first run, people are pushing 1:30 and below
err
1h 45m, 1h 30m respectively
we just kinda do fast
no real glitches yet
there's a couple of tiny timesaves, though
(like, seconds)
pinned
Damn, I enjoyed the game on my first run, the portal to TOWW already open and I was still taking care of followers
its fine im doing attempts rn lol
accepted 🙂
I probably know the answer, I don't have to beat the one, I can just let myself get sacrificed right?
Like I thought thanks
btw if we have any programmers we could use some help making the autosplitter

Hey, man, I'm a programmer too and would love if you could allow me to provide you some help :D I would like to practice and learn
FUCK YEAH!
sent you a friend request
we'll talk more in dm's
lessgooo
hey what program do you use for coding?
VSCODE
using ASL as the language.
most autosplitters use VSCODE
honestly doesn't matter
most Things use visual studio code its generally a very base-line but pretty versatile program
Ok the other night I was up late trying to figure how to find the memory for Cotl but I was actually lost lol
yeah no i think it'd be easier if we use dnspy to look into the code and get stuff
plus it's easier and more effective
Yeah thats probably the best since finding things on cheat engine can be crap
Hey I'm also a programmer in my final year of college. I can look and see what I can do
HELL YEAH
to explain, ASL, (the language autosplitters use) is just a modified version of C#
When splitting at the bosses where do I want to split at, when they die or when going through the door
I'm looking in dnSpy to see if I can find anything without committing myself to helping lol
I don't think it really matters, so long as the begin and end splits are what the rules specify.
Ok good to know 🙂
i would code but brain too dum rn
don't even need livesplit
we retime runs manually
yeah but we should get it as close to accurate as possible right?
we can retime if needed. but the autosplitter should be pretty close to perfect so the mod's work is minimal
I personally do it when i collect the heart
I believe the best moment for split in boss is ay health 0
The very last hit of the boss
That's for bosses, mini bosses, wormy
Ah the joys of playing on switch. I cant see my playtime yet. I dont think its that high.
Played for 50+ hours
Do you guys have the current state of code in a GitHub repo?

here's how it looks in livesplit
I'm still wondering why in speedrun.com the any% run is only for first boss after tutorial
what one?
It's the demo
demo or?
On the 100% doesn't all fleeces and all tarots already require all quests?
rules and stuff are there, we just don't verify any runs yet
Why is that?
I split when the text shows up after you talk to the one who waits because that's when the chapter ends
bugfixes for the game, and maybe to give the mod team some time to prepare
Still need unlock the fleece after the quest. And tarot cards are in shops not just quest rewards
Im gonna start planning out the divine inspiration order for 100%.
I usually run 100% in most games so that would be cool to see planned out :)
Yeah i know but on the autosplitter all quests is a seperate split and i thought that it would happen either way
?
It says controller recommended, is it any faster than M+K?
The image you posted has all quests in the bottom
I would assume not right
Was wondering if it's necessry or if you will get it either way
No idea i don't think it's a big difference
If any
True
Would it be faster to finish the game first and then go for the 100% stuff
Yeah
I was curious what counts as 100% in this game
All bosses, follower skins, fleeces, decorations, declartions, sermon unlocks and faith unlocks
What about all tarot cards?
Can you get the tarot card for +2 hearts anywhere else than at Ratoo‘s dungeon floor? That would mean that RNG has a major impact on the runs
That is the only place but we’re going to have to do several runs of each dungeon, at least 5, so we can just be sure to keep out eye out for it
I dont think it will actually be hard to get it. Or the one from the cat.
to be fair, rng already has a major impact
I think 100% wont be as subjected to rng as other runs. Being longer it will just naturally balance itself out. Like any% needs a bit of luck to get a fish but we can just wait till ocean’s bounty then grab them all
Youd honestly need really good rng to get a sub 2 hour run
The only downfall I see with 100% is dlc
Just have dlc subcategory
I think you underestimate the devotion grind. I really feel like that is going to what decides how long the run is. That or blueprint grinding.
I think that'd just be a little too much just for 5 skins
Has anyone even done a half baked attempt at 100%
nope I'm scared just to do it
Lol. I’ll probably give it a shot this weekend. There are so many aspects to plan and potentially keep track of during.
I'm gonna need to have things well planned out for it, maybe make a google docs for it lol
Yeah i should probably start one of those…
the way you said makes it seem like you already have
Wait don't you start with the skins in that dlc
Ive started planning out stuff just dont have it in a document. Last time i made a guide for speedrunning i started from a flawed concept and it was quickly scrapped…
How to install and set the autosplitter ?
So u split manualy
yeah
When the speedrun.com page will be actived ?
they said it'd be closed for a week but i think we're waiting on the autosplitter for load removing
Ok
Been away for a few days folks, is console still waiting for the patching for godhood etc?
I tried updating last night and 1.0.2 was the latest.
@hearty vapor could you add this minor skip to the route document
oh yea i found that one too, was gonna add that
ur the one who requested permissions i assume?
was asleep so yea
the amount of softlocks still prevalent after the game has released along with several patches is incredibly frustrating.
can i just upload that vid on yt and link it?
sure
you need to roll in to the temple
saves a few sec otherwise you would have to go down to talk to ratau then up again
Oh yeah
Hey does anyone speedrun on ps5?
I have a couple questions not necessarily about speedrunning but a speedrunner could really help me out lol
you need a timer displayed at all times for a run to be valid and i dont know if you would be able to have that in ps5
You can pipe it into a pc with an overlay but cant do that directly from ps5
Capture card/remote play
Several console games have speedruns, what
Haahahaha
yo guys, i tried doing a couple speedruns in these days just for fun, did anyone find any glitch or something that could help? what's the best time you guys got so far? is going for the golden fleece fast viable or does it take too much time?
check the pinned comments
here's an unofficial leaderboard https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z7RJN5lOFmMYDrc_sEKvLqhE-bp5ebJ6OzdAeANdUrQ/edit?usp=sharing

speedrun.com leaderboards exist but are still getting stuff set up
thanks, i'll try the fleece route!
gl
@hearty vapor https://youtu.be/Cv0Gr8vqK4k Follower skip Hard to do but saves time could you add it to the route document
Roll left
Kill an enemy (unsure if needed)
Talk to Ratau
Profit!!!
you still get them
ok np
cool
what happens then? cuz he asked u to indoctrinate them
it counts as you rescued him so the follower will still spawn
yep
so do u hit them? or can u just walk thru?
you must kill one before talking to ratau
you must also spam very fast dash
but im still considering if i should go for fish or for midas
cuz midas is more consistent, but fish seems faster
fish is faster i'm pretty sure but i get not wanting rng
its not , not wanting rng
its just the fish has fucked me enough times
for me to say
NO
xD
lol
maybe🤷♂️
like second crus of shamura
first room
then just teleport out
go midas
get 4 dudes
go finish game
oh ye @calm peak did u do the weird thing with spamming buttons on the location tab?
wasn't able to replicate it check speedtech if you wanna give it a shot
check now
I do not know if this has already been discovered but you can glitch to different islands by spamming the interact button
I was talking too the klunko(the raven i the water section) when i accidentally teleported to the king midas island
ok lit
the only thing im not sure about is if he did it with it open
?
he said he didn't
ok nice
softlock BBABYYY
if u enter the temple the second it gets build
u softlock!
not always
sometimes you will but sometimes youll get the cutscene
not super sure why
i think if you enter before the cutscene with ratau starts youre fine
just position yourself near the center of the build site and roll into it you should be fine
For me it's always worked when i roll in
lol I found that too but I clipped out of bounds in the temple and assumed it didn't actually save any time lol
i imagine it softlocks when you stand inside its loading zone while building it? because i always stand at the bottom tip and instantly roll in and never had problems
how do u do that actually lol, i've been trying but not getting it to work, ratau will drag me out of the dodge roll for the dialogue
you just need to spam roll very fast and pray to god
how often do you get it?
hm, i think ur playing on keyboard right? i'll try using my d-pad, maybe i'm not holding left exactly
yea might be it
aight yea, got it first try
and i think the game just gives you a random follower when it realizes you left the tutorial without one
because the follower that spawns is not the same follower that you should've rescued
I've always softlocked when I roll in immediately so I intentionally don't. If we can find a way to consistently skip that it'll be nice
Its so hard to keep % of the gold fleece 😭
Hey I wanna speed run the game any rituals you suggest that help
i assume the enrichment one comes useful eventually
also that the main slowness in the run is obtaining follwers
for easy mode no rituals are necessary on very hard maybe fasting
whats the record currently btw?
I feel like there should be a record for each category, cuz it’d make sense for hard to take longer due to more monsters
1:21:49
i see
i assume the main bottleneck is followers
so easy would have the advantage cus you'd lose less
actually no, you get enough followers to get you through every door, and ur so fast that no one dies
Ya just have to see followers as a resource you can use to spend
And ya meet the gate requirements, which is easy
i hate this GAAAAAME
4 hours of attempts and only 1 made it to silk cradle
and i prob wouldve reset it if i didnt want to just play the game
literally died in heket
😭
yea i feel like i know so much about the game but i literally suck so hard
i could have +1000000% dmg on fleece and drop the stacks boss fight before dealing damage
never reset your first runs

does destroying mushrooms in anura actually get you mushrooms?
in my experience i only got the seeds from it but i could be wrong
ok just tested it you can get some
yeah but its slow
Seeds are wayyy faster but you can also chop down the big mushrooms
yea, was thinking about maybe getting a 2nd fragment from sozo but then the ritual cutscene also plays, i think it's not worth it in the end
Hows it goin’. Been busy today anything major happen?
I realized if we do get prohibition for our Sustenance 4 doctrine we need to perform the mushroom ritual before doing so. We can’t make half of our followers sick it will be too detrimental
took 3:21 hours my first speedrun XD
Yeah, it was practice, I will try to just yolo it cause I went for gold cloak
Hey does anyone know how to skip the text screens?
Is it possible to skip? Thought only the title cinematic was skipable
Made a lot of mistakes but still destroyed my previous run
The timer takes all the best times I've gotten that's why it's in the red even though this is the new WR
Tip: don't let all your followers starve when getting the talisman pieces the fox doesn't accept starving followers as a sacrifice so you must have one healthy
The guy ewho did the fastest time did
click escape
ACTUALLY
cant do it on controller
YOOOOO I just did it time save time
after the dialogue with the one who waits you just have the mash escape during the loading screen
its only like 35 seconds over the run i think
time save is time save
lmfao?
all in good time
Do ya'll have a leaderboard going already?
yep
Where can i see it?
That one isn't going to be taking runs for a little bit. I have a google doc with the couple of people who have runs done and posted in this or the other speedrun discord

Can i get a mod to pin this? I’ll be updating this over the weekend
Just suggest it on the speedrun.com board
yup, please use the guides and forums on the SRC boards 😄
What's the difference between Any% and All bosses?
Any% sacrifice themselves to TOWE. All bosses fights the witnesses and TOWW
I didn't think TOWW took 30 minutes
34m is the difference between Any% WR and All Bosses and it seems the same other than TOWW
The witnesses require an additional run through each of the dungeons
Oh? Woah secret bosses
Have you….gone back to an area after beating a bishop?
Nope
I just finished an area and stayed in the next one when farming
Although casually I am in Anchordeep still but I've done a few Any% runs
If you go back to the areas the the enemies are stronger and the boss at the end will be “Witness [name]” beating them give a witness eye. These are added to the all bosses category.
What does a witness eye do?
You know that pillpo guy you meet in anchordeep? Well if you ever visited him he would have told you about the witnesses and ask you for their eyes as compensation for trouble caused by the bishop’s deaths
Ohh okay that makes sense, thank you 🙂
Yep. He gives you the things for another cloak.
On that matter have you been getting the Golden Fleece? Its been the primary strat for the run. We get the pieces for it from fishing, sozo, and the fox in those 2 locations.
where are the save files located?
Nope
nvm found it
anyone else getting softlocked when cooking too fast?
when you cook the meal instantly before the quest refreshes then it doesn't register and you have to cook a 2nd one
just wait a second before you open the kitchen
Its only about a 20 min difference i just played badly
Did you do the witness fights?
Yes
Hi WR man
I would like to propose Reverse Boss Order as a category extension.
could be a fun run, just really long, cuz u would sit in the first area trying to rng fest your way into 12 followers
and not having a return is a pain
Yeah, but that's the only boring part of the run.
So if we can find a way to make it less painful, I think it would be a fun, less competitive category.
i guess
imma order food and might do another any%
im getting wacked by areas i shouldnt be
xD
Hey @modest stratus I've tried to add ASL for CotL and just-ero said you are working on that too, my version is here https://github.com/glcoder/asl/blob/main/Cult Of The Lamb.asl I've done some runs with it already and it looks fine, maybe we can combine our efforts?

wait is this a working autosplitter?
well it works for me, if you can test it - it would be great!
how do i get it working?
also idk know if additional sections is needed
while my request to add it to LiveSplit is pending you can download it manually:
- first, you need to download and add https://github.com/just-ero/asl-help/blob/main/Components/LiveSplit.ASLHelper.bin to LiveSplit Components folder
- then you need to download https://github.com/glcoder/asl/blob/main/Cult Of The Lamb.asl and add it to layout and configure it

i personally use a few more, i have splits on every enter (i.e. enter anura 1, enter anura 2, etc.) and every exit (so i have anura 1, 2, 3, and then heket as my split names)
does this remove loading screens?
if you switch to GameTime
cool
but this isnt heavily tested
ill play around with it but it'd be nice if you could add the splits for Me And Me Alone (apparently)
I can add additional settings, no problem
i like tracking every segment and one big split confuses me a lot
i have subsplits for the 4 dungeons and the gateway
I think I can add settings to split on every boss-door key-fragment run, this should be enough to satisfy your request )
ye thatd be awesome but also dungeon enter
i'd say you can probably just have it split on the exit screen (heretics defeated screen)
current route uses the omnipresence ability to leave bosses early so tying it to the door wont rly work
there is autosplit on boss death, after grabbing boss heart
gotcha
this is like game detects it
i typically split on the fade to black bc its easier to track manually but that makes sense
src doesnt have a catex board yet
Hey I'm helping with this as well. I'll test it and see if we need to change anything 👍
thx!
on extra hard you probably dont want to skip cards right
I think it depends on how strong you are at the time. but in general probably not
yeah thought so, especially once you're 2hit in midgame
once you get golden fleece you might be able to skip most of them
Id say it probably wouldn’t hurt to skip them. The odds of getting a card that actually helps your time probably aren’t great.
Id say they are decent, since like 8-9 cards either let you tank another hit or let you damage more/faster
Not an expert though
your damage output mostly comes from golden fleece, which doesn't let you take damage in the first place
it does help when you mess up though
but that would make them safety strats ;P
Yeah i feel like its a race/early running thing
Since i cant imagine myseld nohit clearing the game before 30+ runs in
I’d actually be interested on some opinions with the 100%. It stands to reason we still want golden fleece early to be able to speed up dungeon runs.
But do you it would be best to get it asap or put it off a bit to mitigate visiting areas additional times.
Whats 100%? All upgrades & all bosses?
Its everything. Upgrades, follower forms, tarot cards, fleeces.
How does Midas's Cave get unlocked normally?
We need to visit sozo at least 3 times. If we brought 30 mushrooms on the first visit we could get 2 parts plus the fox there. Then go to the fishing spot and get the fox there for the forth. We could then put off any fishing till we have ocean’s bounty
Midias cave is opened in silk cradle.
Which floor?
Not sure. I want to say second run.
Alright. Thanks.
man i'm really too shit to properly test if midas cave is faster
but honestly i think if it is faster it's not gonna be much
because you're gonna have to beat silk cradle 1 and 2 without golden fleece
which takes really long
you can't unlock midas' cave in silk cradle 1
So you think it's faster to die-mid darkwood 4 to get the fish and fox fleece parts, and then head into silk cradle? @hearty vapor
I can test both, but I need a straight answer so I know which one to try first.
holy shitake mushrooms!
lol i just got done testing it lol
@rancid dust the timer starts as soon as you hit new game but we need to start when you gain control. Other then that everything seems to work perfectly, at least for any%
don't we start you gain control of the character?
yeah
mine does that
im just importing to code from his over to mine
hopefully we can work on more splits together
quite frankly, i think the normal route going for fleece after anura 3 is the fastest
i don't think you can make up the time you lose on mida's cave and fleeceless silk cradle 1&2
We're talking about Reverse Boss Order, not the normal route.
oh
but no, what i mean is, you are so slow in silk cradle without fleece
but with reverse order yea do that
dying def not worth
Couldn’t you just do dw3 and a3 for fleece and then go back…wards….thats what you’re suggesting.
That requires beating up to Anura 3 fleeceless, and dying mid Darkwood 4.
It's undoubtedly slower than just doing silk cradle 1+2 and then sacking 4 to midas for fleece.
https://github.com/MelloYourFello/Autosplitters/blob/main/COTL/COTL.asl
here's a version with good starting time
Contribute to MelloYourFello/Autosplitters development by creating an account on GitHub.
ok, new strats (for any%)
after DW3, glitch to midas' cave and sacrifice one, and feed a fish to the fox (it should be night time, you get a fish from food shops during dungeon runs)
then after leshy, go to pilgrims passage and fish for 2 pieces
maybe a little rng heavy but it should work on paper
How do uou get the fish for midas cave?
That seems good.
I wasn't able to pull off the map warp, though, so I don't think it works on Mac OS.
these ones
I'll have to wait until I'm back in my apartment and can play on my pc.
Is there a doc with the route of any% easy ?
Theres one pined
I've tested out silk cradle 1+2 without fleece, and it's not too hard.
in fact it starts as soon as you on-screen Quote appears, you can skip it using Esc button, so technically you've got controls already
but wait, Quote screen is skippable, why we need to wait until character appears?
timing stoof
it's just any% rules?
quote screens are skippable? :v
am I just bad lmao
also, looks like midas skip doesn't work with controller and I'm not sure how easy it is to switch mid-way, definitely can't do it during the cutscene
oh, looking back on it you can probably switch to M&K just for this while using the temple menu
yep, using Esc on keyboard works just fine
yooooo! 😄 😄 😄
this splits on every loading screen for me it seems?
also if the game's running and i reset it instantly restarts the timer
you have to go into the autosplit options and disable what you don't wnat
i know
then idk lol
i had the default settings checked
nothing about splitting on every loading screen
also splits on the crown cutscene
also seems to not pause during loading screens???
but idk that was just a quick test
yea, didn't work for me either (if that was supposed to work), this is the main reason i want an autosplit tbh
https://clips.twitch.tv/HandsomeGloriousBubbleteaLitty-6pLjWadytSDEB91h does anyone know why this is happening
happened twice in a row 😐
Somehow I softlocked myself choosing the route paths in the dungeon map thing
It just got stuck on "summoning 4" and never went up and I was on record pace I cry
sad
I just had to clear Silk Cradle twice to reach The One Who Waits
was this the 2nd run through silk cradle?
yeah we're editing it
aight as long as its known lol
