does this make linux officially the worst version lol
#🎉・news-and-patchnotes message here's the Nintendo Switch patch notes
you'll be fine if you download it I think, but I'm not a dev so do it at your own risk
Does someone wanna waste multiple days of their lives training me for a speedrun, didn’t think so
It's...not the hardest
once my n64 controller comes im gonna try the game with it
Im just joking
I can help rn if you want
Join one of the vcs, I'll join you ;P
also i think GFleece can stack up multiple times if you kill enemies as they spawn.
cause its the only way i can explain when i got like 600% from a single room
Im going to be started a third run. Try a few different things but what im really after is values. Actually nevermind i need to work on my document so i know what values i need.
if you mean damage values for weapons and spells
yeah its a mess to figure out
and damage numbers for weapons arent what they say. Their damage listed on their card is their average damage of their full combo
best way is to watch some speedruns and read the route for your chosen category
This game's route is pretty easy to follow
Someone’s helping me
great 🙂
Not for the route
I actually really just need shop values for the most part. Got to know how much of everything we need to keep things moving.
for 100%?
Yeah.
just speed ran, forgot to video 
ooooooof
100% is all decorations, follower forms, crown upgrades, shrine nodes. Shrine nodes is the real pain.
is anyone else having lag issues with the shrine and sermon upgrade menus?
Nope
No my friend
Not me either
devs: capped to 200% the golf fleece, no more one shot bosses!
me: 2 shots
lmao, nice crit
golden fleece + hammer is op
god it's so funny
it was a nice godly hammer + 10% crit tarot + 200% gfleece
had a nice luck on that crit
true
yeah godly and fleece balancing is a bit crazy lol
Morning and yeah, shame it takes a bit too much time to grind to Godly weapons
thinking about trying for any% wr
go for it!
I'm gonna watch the current wr through fully but are there any obvious improvements to be made?
only one that immediately occurred to me is the language prob shouldn't be French lol
But Hayu got one really close to it and they made a couple small mistakes in stuff like going the wrong way (even when known) a couple of times
most of the text is skippable but for the small amount that isn't, there's prob a faster language
which text are you talking about?
the only mandatory text is transitions between stages
I'll have to watch through again but all I can think of is after the bishops
after you beat the boss
You can press esc to skip those
BRUH you can?
ah
ok so language doesn't matter
not really i dont think
I'm sure getting even more optimized combat and never getting hit would be a way to get WR
you'd kill bosses even faster
that's going to be a big part of it in general I think
especially if you downpatch
we can submit twitch stream highlights to leaderboards instead of yt uploads right?
you could get infinite gf theoretically
I mean, if you don't downpatch you aren't getting WR 😛
ye
epic
I personally can't verify the runs from twitch, but I'm getting a tool soon to do so (according to another mod)
you gonna stream on twitch? ill watch
im starting rn : )
cool!
I feel like I could def get sub hour with good rng and enough optimization
feels very possible
are there any known major glitches?
yes
im not sure if sub hour is possible
follower cloning
midas skip and follower dupe
i dont think sub hour is happening until a major discovery is found
probably true
currently the wr is 1:15
most of the time i can get midas skip first try but for some reason occasionally i will sit there for 4 minutes bashing my head against a wall thruing to get it lmao
in 1:15, not sub 1:15
and assuming with PERFECT rng you could MAYBE cut off a minute or two
I'm verifying one that states 1:15 GT rn lol
I mean with absolutely perfect rng you could probably get more
but if you just mean perfect fish rng? I still don't know if it's faster since fish is in darkwood 4, right?
if you dont get hit at all you could one hit every boss and enemy, starting with gauntlet to clear out enemies and on last room get lucky enough to get a hammer, possibly save like 5 minutes
i had a 1:32 that had 4 deaths totalling about 12 mins lost, 3 mins spent trying to get midas and i hadnt turn tutorial off either so however much time that wouldve saved too lmao
so wouldve pushed a 1:15
roughly 1:30 (+-10 min or so) is super standard first try
Especially if you do midas skip
i would say if you did everything absolutely perfect, tas level, perfect luck, lowest time somewhere mid 1 flat times
oh, tas could probably get stupid low
for some reason I always end up running devolver published games lol
this, etg, and I'm a src mod for carrion
lol
I've def put the most time into Undertale speedrunning tho
not active anymore but I've been in the sr community for going on 5 years
anyway this is prob off topic
There are resources pinned here like, autosplitter and a guide to get started with
yeah ive looked through it
ur in the gd modding server, oh no...
a gd player
i play mutiple game :V
I don't think so right now cause the skips and glitches we know save only 10 to 15 seconds. Maybe with enough rng and a godlike gameplay 1:05 is possible
i also mod multiple game
sweating rn
whats ur hardest 
as in?
hardest level in gd
L mindset
lmao
dw ill find cotl skip soon
I mean, midas skip is a solid 5-10 minute save
i just tried the code and it didnt work bruh
follower duping is also p big, but harder to calculate since it changes the route
do i have to downpatch
i might consider making a speedrun mod :P
Atm we don't allow mods in the speedrun
aw
but always feel free to make them anyway
what's the most needed thing in speedrun anyways
i would consider making mods but i dont know c#
sadness
atm we're p good w/ what we have. There's an autosplitter getting close to finishing up (I think? from what I've heard) and that will make a ton of things easier
ah yeah auto splitter
oh wtf i just checked on src and the creator of the leaderboard is a carrion runner as well lmao
a speedrun mod would be great at least for me, i think i might be one of the only linux players in the entire discord lol
small world
stuff like practice mods would be great too
oh yeah that would be great
but those are general big undertakings lol
the possibilities are endless
tbh make what you want to make. That's always the way to go with programming imo
yeah we are working on a modding utility rn btw
Something to keep track of how many followers you have to indocrinate would be great
My memory sucks
I mean you only have to count to 20 for that though
Or at worst, something like....24?
you know how in all advancement mc speedruns they have that thing on the top left? that would be cool for 100%
my goal is to find a skip that changes the difficulty of the any% route on the guide from (easy) to (do not attempt)
is there a modding discord? i want to follow progress (if not thats fine)
actually there is
LMAO
idk if it count as advertising though
It's called 'easy' because of the game difficulty, not how hard the run is lol
no there's a separate rating for the difficulty on the skips and stuff
could you dm me it? mine are open
like...a debug console?
I don't think those are ever allowed
well, that's not true
there are a couple
but most games don't allow it
the only example i can think of is majoras mask but idk if they allow it
maybe if cotl category extensions ever becomes a thing lol
hack%
in Risk of Rain 2 they're allowed to get a good seed, essentially
not set a seed
but there's a macro that lets you get a blue portal immediately first stage
oh yeah
Seeded runs would be great
it would be a great idea to show the seed on the screen
i will see if i can make a seed related mod
If the seed works anything like the demo, seed# won't mean much
Why?
i think seed are randomly generated every dungeon run
Oh
trying to decide rn whether or not to go for a difficulty besides easy to get a free wr lmoa
nah thats kinda cheap
since easy is true any%
i wanna see how seed are generate
Extra Hard doesn't have a run yet, I believe
5h wr on extra hard
people have submitted runs for medium

are there plans for a ng+ category
yeah some games offer it anyway
not yet
remember not always how the game works
minecraft can have something like 64 billion seeds
but only 48billion are ones that can actually be generated naturally
its allowed in majoras mask, its just slow. cause to make it pop up you have to ACE to make it appear. or something nonsense like that.
and even then most speedrun categories of "any%" arent always any%
theyre typically "any%" then in the description they state "no save file corrupting yadayada"
always depends on the community. Id hope the community goes for the pretty common way of run categories. Where its just "any%" and it shows what patch theyre on in a column.
And if there are significant run differences in different patches then seperating them is also good. Mind you this is rarely just the speed of the run. Its typically related to big strategy changes that make the runs fundamentally different.
just don't

probably
I did my first run to see if I would like it (without really looking into it too much)
died 3 times like an idiot and got a 1:55.
The run is fun at start, but clearing dungeons is kinda of a pain, i wish you didn't have to clear it 4 times each
watching a non downpatched wr pace run live rn so idk
o? link pls?
ill dm it since it would be technically advertising
sure
i think undownpatched runs can stay competitive but maybe not in the future as wrs start becoming more optimized
Golden fleece, especially if you downpatch, fixes dungeons taking a long time.
Could we have the down patch guide pinned? I cba scrolling so high up
I dont actually have any permissions in this channel LOL
tfw you throw this man's wr run by making him read your long chat message
xddd
fuck.
Do you have golden fleece? What order?
And yeah, its a lot of learning when NOT to go in
So current route
Yeah, then its just learning when to hang back
Focus?
omnipresence ig
Ohh
yeah
Omnipresence?
its focus on the doc for some reason
are you on console?
Q on pc
same it wastes time
Nah, it skips cutscenes and loot gathering
No, it saves time
where?
Skips picking up totems and waiting for the loot from the chest
You use it immediately after picking up the heart
oh i guess thats a good point
According to hayu, anyway
rip lmao
Sounds about right
am i allowed to send the link to the clip?
he reset the timer lol
since it is speedrunning related
it resets on the autosplitter on main menu
such a huge F
well im gonna send the clip since i think its relevant, im sure someone will delete it if im not allowed to lmao
good to use for research purposes 🙂
yeah so dont go breaking all the grass whilst bishop is spawning whilst youre bored LMAO
Which anura was that
anchordeep
His splits mentioned heket, but u right
yeah splits were based off doc
If that was anchordeep 1 thats not quite WR pace i think
Assuming he hasnt done anura
tragic
he kept it going bc it was still pb
It seems wild to me he would get a 110 or so RT
nope, splits are just for personal reference
the start and end time are all that matter
you dont even need to have splits, just a timer
run gets retimed anyway
idk if you can do the subtract with autosplits
We retime them anyway atm, but idk if that will continue once the autosplitter is completely done
im a linux idiot and i use llanfair so
hes asking if he can play music in the background
And if that was anchordeep 3 at 50m AFTER heket, hes like 20min faster than WR. Which is absolutely insane
If he was really going that fast w/ a death, he'll definitely take WR another time, no question
btw is music allowed in the background of runs
As long as the game sounds and whatnot aren't inaudible because of it. I've been assuming that sound has to be on to help with verifying
At worst, if you run on PC you could use voice meeter banana and just have your music not record to the vod
Lmao sounds about right
gl
heyo, don't work on autosplitter. should be fine as we retime it anyway
In other games people have covered up game sounds to help mask cuts in the footage
p much what ive assumed.
time for me to shleep, its 230am lol
In the rules for %100 is says all fish. But its mildly pointless since you can buy all of them once you get all the holy talisman pieces. All recipes would make more sense but most automatically unlock just from having the ingredients.
Neither really add anything to run but I’d understand keeping all recipes to keep it 100%
yea tbh idk what they're doing, they're 7 mods now and somehow there are only 4 runs verified with rules still being the draft from when the boards were just created
We're working on it!
It takes long time to verify runs. This game has loads every 5-15 seconds or so and we need to count those loads out
yea i understand that, but at least make the rules lol, i still don't know whether we are gonna force everyone to downpatch or whether we move pre 1.0.11 runs to legacy, or what exact requirements for 100% are since community does not like fish, or if there's gonna be glitchless category
I'd say use ASL when ever possible
Yeah understand that. We really need to talk to @copper trout more about it
Heres my understandings.
- Glitchless category is gonna happen. (Might be known as NMG)
- Right now we might force downpatching with patches as categorys coming down the line later
- 100% still needs to be ironed out as we decide what counts and not
hi cinaeth, idk if u remember me, i used to run carrion, im an src mod lol :)
personally I don't like that every doorway has a "load" it's a lot more work for us to count those and overall I don't think they're contributing to the final time in a meaningful way
We just got the patch and I want to see how runs are affected by the Golden Fleece patch. I know it might be slower, but until routes are figured out and we can see how much of a difference there is, it's hard to say with 100% certainty that we should split up the board by patch. The major reason I'm hesitant right now is console would be excluded from a down patch board.
It seems like there's more than enough interest for NMG so I can make that now
console is already excluded from a lot because teleport glitch being mouse only
I will try a run and see how much it affects me
so wait are downpatched runs still being accepted atm?
and for 100% - we can certainly revisit the rules. Personally I wanted to do all unlocks or even Godhood But both of those include fish xD
at the moment everything is accepted until we can see what the big differences are
ok cool
Yeah!
Hey 😄 - I still run Carrion too
what is the method to downpatching again?
ik someone mentioned it somewhere in here
lol didnt know early base exit allows you to go out of bounds if you don't stop walking
pinned
thx 🙂
I added link where to find DepotDownloader
Personally i’ll be against godhood. It only adds beating the bosses hitless, and catching the swordfish. Sacrificing 10 followers just adds another thing with a cool down that forces the run to take x days.
link isn't pointing on specific file, but idk
Agreed but i dont think godhood requires catching a swordfish
Fishing also isn’t a problem to 100%. Basically everything can be pushed off till later if it needs to be so there’s less rush to get a fish for a fleece and we’ll wait till ocean’s bounty to get the rest.
There’s an achievement to catch 1 of every fish. I would assume this includes the swordfish
yeah, why we favored the checklist
I think if we're not linking to mods, we're fine but I can make sure we're in the clear
ok
so who wants to be in a GDQ-like marathon 👀
how is that
whatchu mean how? I'm a lead organizer for one :p
Is there gonna be a couch for some commentary
im up
I'm looking into something special for this, but I cannot confirm anything
but yes, I have availability for couch
Fleece being a time split is genuinely hilarious
my marathon gets anywhere from 100-300 viewers - still brand new ( yay having some connections )
Also is the fastest way to get cloaks while doing Heket third fishing?
I only ask cause gdq was even letting people have pngtubers/vtubers on as "couch" lol
between A2 and A3 you fish for the talismans
For their recent stuff
in glitchless
mushroom kingdom is unlocked on A2
Why not just do Heket earlier to account for both menticide mushrooms and… well, Heket
Which patch is the best for speedrun any% glitched ?
but if it's day still, you do A3
my main question is: why do shamura instead of heket first
and in night you sacrifice on fox, do 10 mushrooms quest and fish for all talismans
you skip some cutscenes in which shamura is involved, makes it kinda faster
Plz
Ok thxs
Also once you obtain the upgrades you get from sermons/sacrifices do you just forsake town completely
gotcha
also after killing leshy you are guaranteed claws next dungeon run which are super good and since silk cradle enemies are the strongest you want to use them there
then after killing shamura you will get the hammer weapon which you want in anchordeep because the frogs etc are too quick to hit with the hammer
Axe all the way
i hate axe on darkwood 2 but later i like it xD
@copper trout so when where why what how?
FIRST CULT OF THE LAMB MARATHON?
I wanan learn speedrun ust to join marathon ngl LOL
Isn't there also that one other event that Shovelclaws is doing too?
#💨・speedrunning message Over here, there's also a run on the 10th
Which is pretty not too far off
Its all anyone has to offer. Actually i guess i dont has anyone submitted a 100% run?
Afaik none atm cause the routing is still being ironed out
There's always RBO possibly?
Maybe some nice run of cook all foods
There really isn’t much super specific routing in 100%. We’ve got a check list to do and can go about it however we want.
Ahh ok
The “routing” is more about doctrines and cult upgrades.
just had a hardlock, I guess you can't go TOO FAST while cooking
Yeah that's been around, just wait till you see the letterbox effect show up and you can then cook it
literally was just heading here to ask about this cause I also got it
Just give it a second or two and then you should be fine
another thing I found out the hard way is that it's possible to not have enough gold for the shrine if you really zoom and dont collect regular room coins
You can actually do it without collecting coins, need to do the boss hitless though
also quick question: is it game over if you dont indoctrinate an extra lad before shamura?
if you run out of followers
oh shit, boss rewards take hitless into account?
big
It says on the warning that either you run out of time or you die in a dungeon
The amount of time is pretty generous, almost nearly a full in-game day on easy but you have about half that time on Extra Hard
is there a tuto for downpatch the game ?
check the pins
thxs !!
You were too slow, cutscene happened to start in the base
I don't think so
even more cause of that lol
speedruns usually get nitpicked a lot
Yesterday I was going incredibly well too, fastest than I ever did
but then I accidently warped to Midas while I was in the dungeon
so I broke a glitchless rule and lost my best timer cause I clicked too fast
it will exist soon, mods are just waiting a little bit to decide on new categories
but it's guaranteed
any trick to making follower skip more consistent? (am on keyboard)
is it just smashing left dodge and hoping for the best
only asking cause I got it first try and since then never
in like 10-15 runs
no idea! thought i d specify tho
I actually think I read that controller is even less consistent
You son of a bitch I'm in
I use the controller most of the time
Mouse and keyboard for tp glitch
kind of difficult to not want to 👀
I'm gonna start submitting my times, but I don't know if I do pre patch or post
Remember you can stack the glitch more than once for more consistency at the cost of losing maybe like 2-3 seconds
Just open the 2nd door, do the glitch, open another door, do the glitch again.
Just pay attention to how many followers stay when you do the glitch since that's a close representation of how many you successfully duplicated. You need 5 to remain in place for you to open all doors in a single try. I've gotten several times where only 3-4 stayed so I am required to do the glitch a 2nd time to unlock the last door.
sorry I should ve specified, I m talking ab the ratau follower skip in the tutorial
the one where u have to kill one cultist to skip the room
:>
regardless thats a good pro tip, cheers fam
I've had that happen to me many times, but never this hardlock
I just sprint and dodge roll to the left and Prayge
oh that reminds me, sometimes dodging bugs out if done from a standstill? like you dont dodge the whole distance or something
is that a thing
🥴
happens when I really spam it
dodging does glitch sometimes yeah
My timer dont pause when i am in loading (with compare against game time)
did you put the script in the timer?
I dont know there is a script ? Can u explain me ?
if you have installed the split to the computer, you have to edit it to make it automatic
I'm gonna take some prints to explain
ok thxs a lot
you have to put this in the Components paste of your LiveSplit
after it you'll open the app and edit your timer
go to edit layout
click the plus sign on the left
go here
and you'll import this file here
the boxes check what you want it to automate
this is mine
What is component paste (i am sorry i am not english and new in speedruning)
no worries
can I DM u?
just so I don't flood here
yes no problem
It's always the first dodge of the room that bugs here
You get used to it
Sometimes playing safe it's better than going aggressive
Remember you need the 200% damage stack, so playing safe is rewarding
honestly, finish at least one so you know what to expect at the ending
I was doing that and almost flopped my first run
An often overlooked part of speedrunning practice is finishing bad runs
Always gotta keep in mind how your late game practice compares to your early game
u right
try not to compare the timer to the other runs
it's a balancing act.
you shouldn't finish all your runs but you should practice parts of the run you don't get to often
The game softlocks if you go to SC 3 and only have 1 follower
oh
interesting
very clear what's happening from a code point of view lol
also, p sure you game over anyway if all your followers are dead? Idk since I've never seen it happen
You have some time to indocrinate a follower once your follower number goes down to 0
You can either indocrinate a follower after defeating Leshy to save some time as you need to unlock omnipresence anyways
Or you can indocrinate at least one after defeating Shamura
I had only 1 follower on SC 3 here because somehow I got a double sacrifice from the last sacrifice on Midas' Cave
Do I need to use the automated timer to submit runs? I’m playing on Mac OS and have to use an app called Splitter rather than LiveSplit. I just wanted to ask whether that would still be valid for submissions. I’m running any% - both categories, glitches allowed and glitchless. Thanks!
No, you don't need to use the automated timer
atm we're deciding if we're going to be retiming it manually even if you do use an automated timer lol
let me tell you, it takes a hot minute to manually retime
OK, thanks! I only asked as I saw it pauses the timer during loads which obviously wouldn’t be doable without the automation - but yeah, manual retiming is a pain in the butt 
Hi. New to the server and interested in practicing running this game.
I see the Golden Fleece was "nerfed" to 200% dmg cap. Is it still worth wasting time to get vs rushing boss rooms still?
First you'd want to decide if you want to downpatch or not
but p sure yes either way
3x damage is a lot lol
Will there be a separation in categories?
unsure as of yet, but probably
Gotcha. I still have a lot to practice but was curious as to what people were thinking about the Fleece
But I believe there is a Fleeceless category. So I guess that's what I'm doing
sure! Always run what you want 😛
like, the normal ones or the uh
red text cutscenes
for the normal ones mash faster lol
for the red one you can press esc on the keyboard
Did you get the 1 or 2 hit to first rocks?
That is the difference we are looking with this
Found a softlock after doing Temple skip. Just froze in place and the cutscene never started
yep thats a common issue
You were too slow, cut scene started in base and game got confused
Fascinating, will keep that in mind. Thanks!
Not an issue with just 1 follower
I had that happen to me but I had 14+
maybe it's just like we pressed too fast, and moved, dodged Idk
But you had 2 followers fighting you or just one as I did?
just one
happened exactly the same way as yours
lol
Im getting through darkwood fairly frequently without any mistakes
call me stupid. But I'm really struggling to figure why my games aren't starting on easy
Right after the first cutscene I 1hit rocks but my difficulty is still Medium
Mobs aren't 1 hit
You have to set your previously loaded file to easy
that's how you set difficulty on the tutorial area
I'm amazed there is a channel called speed running when every time I enter a dungeon now my game either freezes or crashes. Y'all some lucky folks being able to play normally.
That sounds like you need to hit 'verify game files' lol
If you're replying to me, I'm on switch so idk what that is.
And I've been playing the game just find for about 5 days before this happened.
Oh, I figured you were on PC. IDK what you can do about that on switch. Maybe redownload?
If I were to link my stream for speedrunning. Should I put here or still in the #🔌・self-promotion ?
self promo
I would think #🔌・self-promotion but I'm not a discord mod :V
its probably fine here but i'd say promo
dont want it clogging chat
definitely safe in #🔌・self-promotion
itd be nice if we had a speedrunner streams channel but i dont think itd be very active so
yeah true
You gotta make sure the other file you open first has been set to easy difficulty first. Can't just load a new save that hasn't made it to the difficulty selection and then go into your run save cause the default run difficulty is medium
Gotta do this every time you open the game too I believe
BRUH I don't know what went wrong
pretty sure silk cradle went wrong ngl
I'm very helpful
but it was clean dude 😦
did you get hit?
good rng, didn't die like my current pb
My current PB I literally die on Kallamar's fight
if you don't get the weapon upgrade safety strat, getting hit even a couple times in spiderland is a huge time loss
and it's still faster than this, WHY
maybe you accidentally took a 3 minute nap without noticing
Compared to my pb I almost never got hit
I mean you literally lost like 8 minutes in spiderland
dude happens all the time to me
sometimes i think i got wr and then i remember i slept 8 hours
I'll have to rewatch try noticing it
I had 3 rare fishes and got the gold fleece even b4 going to the frog's dungeon
It's glitchless speedrun
oh I'm dumb lmao
can we not call it midas skip we are not skipping midas
early midas then
nearly hit me with a hammer smash with that one
Oh, maybe it's cause of the Gold Fleece nerf?
cause my PB was done prior to the nerf
Everyone out here talking about their any% and all bosses runs, when the real runs is in the mini-game

Lul Nice
My pbs keep getting better and better even with the nerf
yeah I just suck xd
Try watching your runs after you complete them
This way you can understand if it's bad gameplay, bad decision making or just bad rng that is slowing you down
I must say this helps a lot
i had a cracked shrumy the other day
i wasnt timing but it was barely over a minute
okay, I beat him first try barley over a minute without timing. This took me 4 tries to beat him again

Thoughts on a voice channel where people can stream to discord if they have specific questions or feedback
I think I just encountered a bug?
Speeding through the last part of dark woods, run into fish guy, talk to him and get pilgrims pass on the map
But then I am teleported to midas?
lol what?
Did you click on the map while the game was showing you the location you just unlocked?
Yea I think I must have!
do u know how to resolve a directory not found error with this?
i executed the command and entered all the info and everything but its not able to find a part of the directory
or would it be different for me
omfg
im dumb
ignore lmao
lol 😛
Hahaha I did the exact same thing yesterday lmao dw
ah yes this folder that i did not create
hi espeon
i wonder why it isnt downloading
I'm on like all the time ;P
i gonna make a mod that uncap the golden fleece
why? :V
because why not?
I mean
do what you want
but downpatching already does that :V
probably fun to do once dlc comes out tho
ok starting up some any% easy runs on stream again if people wanna swing by, fingers crossed we can get back on wr pace and not get softlocked lmaoo 
Weird Personal Question: When will we be expecting new categories?
any tips for dealing with archers?
play safer
definitely my biggest run killers
it feels like it always backfires, the longer I keep them alive :<
sometimes they only fire once sometimes multiple in a row
usually I somewhat focus ranged guys, but treat every attack as if it's a ranged attack aimed at me
so i dodge
i tried recreating my midas glitch with other npcs and it didnt work 🤔 inchresting.
also midas doesnt appear permanently on the map when i visit him early
i doubt anything to special can come from an early midas visit but it is cool
Just keep like moving in circles. Try not going back to a position you were before and you should be fine
Archers only shoot where you were when they took aim, so just keep moving
I mean getting golden fleece early is the big thing. Other than that, it doesn't matter much at least in speedrunning. The teleport glitch that lets you do early midas also go to any other area early (supposedly, I can't imagine it not working).
stupid death to kallamar and another stupid death to heket, 1:15 feeling very doable atm
I cant seem to get the doors opened prematurely, is it cus i have to be downpatched or is there a trick im missing 
You mean the follower clone glitch?
not sure if that's the name of it but i guess?
basically the glitch where u open all the doors
Like really fast
I use the dpad to make sure I go directly down
otherwise you don't quite get enough followers for silk cradle
and straight to the doors
yeh i thought it was c:
aight gotcha, i guess i'll try again on a new file 
also how do we get to Midas early?
can't seem to figure that out either just from watching the run lol
That's the teleport glitch
Both these glitches are detailed in the guide pinned here
i just found the document
There's also some video tutorials linked in it
it's basically just hovering over and slightly moving the mouse in the right spot and spam the heck out of the E key
only works with M&K
So now you just gotta go fast
that's the plan c:
i guess technically i dont need to do the follower glitch for a casual run
i can just indoctrinate people as i go, but would be nice
Is the golden robe still worth it now that it caps at 200%? 🤔
Takes like 2 minutes or something like that to get no?
Yeah, it is a fast acquire, but it is possible when running with new patch that other fleeces are viable (or even fleeceless)
I think maybe fleeceless is the way to go just from trying the 200% capped one, but obviously needs a lot more testing. If u can keep the 200% uptime constantly it might be better still but idk seems not plausible to keep up constantly :((
hitless runs when
tommorow hopefully
I would think that golden fleece is still the best. x3 damage is pretty amazing just because it causes you to have less dodging time. I would think that eventually the WR will be a hitless run tbh (or nearly)
I mean it all depends on how much time it saves vs how much ur giving to get the fleece (obvious statement is obvious) but it’s hard to actually calculate that 😅
in my experience, being able to oneshot enemies happens around the 200% mark tbh
I'd have to actually try with it capped though
I still needed to 2 tap enemies
With the 200%, at least some of them, some have low enough hp to die from 1
Yeah exactly
Weapon is also a non static thing 
not actually quite true
from what I've experience MOST of your weapons are the same
or at least your first large number of them
Oh I didn’t know that actually, that’s good to know c:
back when I was doing leshy -> heket -> shamura, I would have the same weapons every time all the way to silk cradle 2
and I just stopped paying attention to it by that point
Ah interesting!
i may be wrong tbh
I do remember getting a different weapon if I died during my casual playthrough
it might just be that doing certain things unlocks weapon types, and you are guaranteed to get that weapon type the next time
which would make a LOT of things guaranteed though
yeah, if you have to go to main menu ever then it feels random
True true, more consistency would be good for sure in terms of weapons and stats in general
But games still very new so who knows
Is the patch set for leaderboard or are mods still in talks about stuff like that?
Moreso cus there’s a huge difference with the gold fleece capped dmg from the 2 patches I’ve seen
p sure it's still just one leaderboard atm
I’m definitely downpatching then 
only at the moment. There's definitely a plan to separate it, and I would hope it's sooner rather than later with as many people asking lol
Ah gotcha, “atm” is a wide term especially speedrun wise in my experience, but would be nice if it wasn’t necessary to downpatch to be competitive in the long run, especially for newcomers later on
While I agree, it's also a whole like 2 clicks to downpatch lol
Even for steam?
specifically for steam
Usually that requires the depot thingy and then not updating ur game ever iirc
Some are more iffy than others
But if it’s an easy method then it’s dope af
they can't see that
that
to downpatch you pretty open run
type
steam://open/console
then type in the console
download_depot 1313140 1313141 1944981499758156304
(this'll give you the windows ver with unlocked gold fleece)
yeah
I realized
was liek "wait this is to a channel they can't see" f
sorry >.>
like you can click the link, which will open your steam client with a console tab open. Type in the thing and it will take a little bit to download the stuff into a folder which will be printed in the console as well. Then you just start the .exe in there and it'll run the downpatched version
will keeping ingame SFX on but music off while playing some of my own music invalidate a run?
Its helpful against stuff like splicing. If you really want to run your own stuff, there's software like voicemeeter banana that would let you (possibly?) Run music on a different, not recorded channel. Idk if it works for this game specifically, though
dez is on pace for wr rn btw lol
Also i really need to go to bed, so I'll see you all tomorrow 
cya
gnite, thx for reply
new wr tommorow hopefully lmao
Doesn't someone have an unverified 1:12
is talone's time still wr tho? counting runs still in validation too
hes on paced for better than that
maybe
yeah we lookin at a 1:11
hes on follower spams rn
Just waiting for my runs to be verified wonder what they will be at without load
about to open TOWW
yeah this'll be spicy
i think i sent you the channel
one twelve baybeeeeee
GGGGGGGG
WR DESTROYED
yeah lmao
yeah with a death
GG
I've come to conclusion that sub 1 hour should be achiveable with amazing rng and gameplay
thats what ive been saying lmao
I think so too honestly
its 100% possible
gg
I'll prop start doing some runs too
this wr run was with a death too, so sub 1:10 easily possible, sub hour i reckon is defs doable but will need something to happen for it to come to fruition
yeah it was
asked him early in stream
yeah not yesterday
today tho
yeah
you got a 1:17 without?
nice
how was there a full minute added to my time without loads when i used autosplitter lol
Had to retime and please, show the in game time in the future for the whole run, so we can see when the timer pauses etc. (Video only showed RTA the whole run)
I'm pretty let down on the current speedrun's situation, I think I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to come back to speedrunning
Died on 1:17 on Kallamar current patch, feels bad
btw will there be a current patch category? Or should I downpatch?
how the hell are people speedrunning this game
im going try and start getting into speedrunning for this game
its a really fun one to do, and also quite beginner friendly!
i would 100% recommend for anyone thinking about it
its my first time doing speedruns for the sake of being fast too
only other game i have done that with is a hat in time
it's fun if you can blackout on command during silk cradle and anchordeep
🥴
any debug mode in cotl btw? i'm curious if theres a toggle somewhere to display hitboxes
cause I swear shamura sometimes hits me even when I'm behind him
what splits should i use for livesplit
people usually run (for any%)
first base entry
golden fleece
leshy
shamura
kallamar
heket
end
i.e
understandable
I've died twice in silk cradle so far.. I'm very bad with the axe :p
ya really gotta commit with the axe
i honestly feel as if i only got axe at the start of crusades
so im actually quite good with it
if you attack you're giving up your dodge privileges for a while
She does and it gets me 
But I think she started hitting from behind her back in this new patch
I downpatched today so I could test that
I was +1000% fleece when I got to her last run and so I got cocky
insta hit insta throw
ffs
Oh
but ye I'm downpatched so same here
I'm deciding to play postpatch
finally got it uploaded, heres the run
omega scuffed run, died once in anchordeep and missed a follower in darkwood which messed up order of leshy and golden fleece.
pretty good rng on weapons and room routing, overall pretty satisfied but defs can do better, gonna hunt for sub 1 : 10 next.
Come watch live - twitch.tv/dezinator94
Join the Den Of The Dezinator Discord - discord.gg/...
death in anchordeep, scuffed routing for leshy and golden fleece due to missed follower in darkwood, so sub 1:10 on the horizon defs
there are talks with people looking into the code about what new things could be found in terms of what you need to do to trigger the TOWW door to open, so yeah if that results in anything then sub hour id say is almost guaranteed
This game is rigged I was on a 40 min Anchordeep and the game crashed
Feels bad
For some reason Livesplit takes a huge amount of my cpu when its activated anyone know why
you always get hammer after shamura and imo it's easier to do anchor with hammer then anura with hammer
tf
Livesplit secretely mines bitcoins
is it only me or is the downpatched version of the game way more buggy then it should be
10 hours on the downpatched and no more bug than before for me
would sozo be the best way to get fleece?
cause you would also get brainwash
or the first 3 ones from sozo
my splits are messy
personally i dont have a dedicated fleece split, i just have a split image at the split i get fleece at
and the rest are subsplits indicating when i enter a specific area
Hey @dull horizon and other mods, do you guys plan on checking the runs and making changes to the leaderboards? it's kinda messy rn
im not sure
frankly ive been very busy this past week, adjusting to college and all
just got access back to my pc
also you guys need to pay attention to who has what role on src, currently im just a verifier so all i can do is verify runs
not a big deal but that's definitely more a question for the moderators
hmm I see, I think some other mods mentioned being too busy as well
you can tell what role someone is with the little sword icon on our src page btw
in case it isnt known
np
i dont know of any plans but i'm also likely behind rn
is there a specific run you want verified? i have some reading i gotta do but after im gonna be free
@lean girder
No I don't mind mine being on wait
Only thing that I'm kinda down rn is that it the way that the board is being updated, it looks like there are hardly any ppl running the game
we currently have 18 runs in queue
the big problem is that we have to manually retime runs without the load remover then get it double checked
so runs that use the load remover will be massively prioritized
also if you have a specific run you wanna get verified just ask
we typically just go by whatever is the oldest but none of us mind being asked to look at one of your runs
I'm more concerned about the activity of the game on the leaderboards, for real I don't mind waiting for mine to be verified at all
also second note please upload your runs to youtube if possible, especially if you dont use load remover
I don't know if you get what I mean by this
yeah I do that
i understand yeah
cause I see games like
im mostly speaking past just you and to others reading this
Stray for example, it was as big of a hit as CotL is
great for speedrunning etc
and it's extremely active since the first week
i dont think much would change in terms of activity
it'd be more but only 18 more
and some of the runs in queue are by runners with a time recently verified
so active runners wouldnt change
additionally... src's stats on active players is kinda weird
ive tried figuring out how its calculated but cant really tell
for example we have 6 runners with times verified but only 4 runners in our "active players" stats section
idk if its just slow at updating or if it doesnt count users with email verification or what
1:10 WOOOOOOOOOO Let's goooooo
yeah Idk bout that either
now it's time to wait like 5 hours for youtube to process
wut? mine hardly takes 1 hour
i understand the concerns but trust the process, we'll get to runs
in neon white's first week of leaderboards we got massively behind
it's just kind of how new games go frankly
One thing about that, it's exactly the reason why I'm concerned
like i said this is just the new speedgame cycle
wdym about making changes to leaderboards?
bc you said both check runs and change leaderboards
If a new speedrunner sees a brand new hitgame having hardly any runs, ppl tend to try kinda 'look down" on it and go for other games
separate the Any% and Any% Glitchless, maybe put a 'Legacy' tab for day 1 patch, Idk
i think the plan is to have 1.10 and below and... whatever current patch is and above?
we'll see as stuff gets patched
and any% glitchless is also on the way
hey shovelclaws is it possible to remove my other summited times so you don't needlessly verify them
i mean i can reject them all
You can delete run on the speedrun page
or i can just accept them and remove the time to obsolete them
how
Go to your profile
dont delete it pls
pending actions
?
click on the run
it makes src fucky
wym?
moderation hub doesnt update instantly and sometimes it bugs
its really strange
so it can end up still being in our queue and being verified
afaik
they'll be handled dw
ill probably verify them without an actual time that way we dont need to retime and they'll be obsoleted anyways
just let me know when your 1:10 is submitted @calm peak
ok
I'm gonna wait for the glitchless leaderboard so I can start running again
kinda unfair posting mine against those xd
itll be soon
People that look down on other speedruns are pepegas, run whatever u find fun c:
🙏 pls be patient itll be okay
i appreciate the concerns being brought up
we'll keep them in mind and try our best
Also appreciate all the mods, I verify for RE Village and know first hand how hectic it can be, especially in the beginning lol
