"no item"?
Sorry
ALL item
Most people play with the important items shuffled and the rest vanilla
Since the world is really big and can take uh
40 hours (I usually speed up the game) to 100%
ah
I'll stop here. Checklist for next time:
1- Use pretty stone to get SouthEast Angara Islet | SE Angara Islet - Bird's Treasure
2- Use Dancing Idol to weaken and kill the great serpent.
3- Use aquarius stone to beat aqua rock.
4- Use [Hint]: FlitterGS's Hover Jade is at Market Bazaar Item 6 in FlitterOoT's World. (not found), blue and red keys to beat Jupiter lighthouse.
5- Beat Poseidon, in Lemuria use lucky medals.
[Hint]: FlitterGS's Hover Jade is at Market Bazaar Item 6 in FlitterOoT's World. (not found) @wet field when you have the time this is needed to finish the game.
let's play ladx
La DxRomulus sent Quantum Moon Signal to dr rOWmulus (Moldorm Heart Container (Tail Cave))
La DxRomulus sent Warp Core Installation Manual to dr rOWmulus (Slime Eye Heart Container (Key Cavern))
okie dokie, this is the only thing left for go mode [Hint]: La DxRomulus's Nightmare Key (Catfish's Maw) is at World_Sense in octyKnight's World. (not found)

[Hint]: octyKnight's Monomon is at 9-1 Monkey Madness Coin - Climb (Outside) in FlitterAE's World. (not found) -- flitter I think you got sky flyer so this should be go?
dr rOWmulus sent World Key to FlitterAE (GD Ship Log: Control Module 1 - Request)

Yes, I can reach Monomon. Will get it when I play next
shine get
dr rOWmulus sent Baldur_Shell to octyKnight (GD Ship Log: Probe Tracking Module 2 - Anomaly Located)
this is the only thing left for go mode, everything else is just checks [Hint]: dr rOWmulus's Imaging Rule is at Song from Saria in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
so i will be done for now and i'll BK it tomorrow in the usual friday VC
Hi
Let's play Ape Escape
I have one world key left before I can finish the game
Oh, and the RC car
[Hint]: FlitterAE's World Key is at Wasteland Bombchu Salesman in MeganOOT's World. (not found)
FlitterAE's R.C. Car is at Song from Ocarina of Time in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
FlitterAE sent Small Key (Fire Temple) to MeganOOT (2-1 Thick Jungle Monkey 4 - Maki)

FlitterAE sent Dog Food to La DxRomulus (7-2 Wabi Sabi Wall Monkey 6 - Buddha)
FlitterAE sent Shine Sprite to Artio Sunshine (8-3 TV Tower - Boss) TV Tower boss get
I forgot about this part!
Turns out I ALSO need the RC car to get Monomon
That's BK mode for Ape Escape
@wet field my last nail upgrade
Arti Knight sent Rupees (5) to FlitterOoT (Pale_Ore-Nosk)
horrible boss without wings or shade cloak
Pretty sure I have eponas song now, so I can do that tonight
They should make fragile weakness, a charm that force equips as a trap and lasts until you die
Next month i will add deathlink to outer wilds
Now my bullshit deaths can actually mean something!
that'll go great with Nine Sols death_link when I implement it
deathlink works best when you're playing at the same time as someone else
yeah it's fundamentally a sync feature, but if we never end up playing together it'll be harmless
im totally down to do a session like that mind
just need to book a weekend or sometihg for it
Oh shit I won't be the only one with death link on
I can grab the shadow temple one pretty quick but I need to check what dungeons I need to beat for nocturn check
Finally
[Hint]: FlitterGS's Mia is at GC Shop Item 5 in FlitterOoT's World. (not found) @wet field need this character because I ran out of space to hold djinn
FlitterGS sent Progressive Strength Upgrade to Yoot (Prox - Chieftain's House - Box)
Oh my god I spent four hours looking for three checks in aqua rock and I kept missing this room
I should have used a guide
They were junk
FlitterGS sent Dash_Slash to Wcctnoam (Anemos Inner Sanctum - Cracked Tile Fall Room)
lmao that was fast
i had 3 checks
Both of my games are now in BK mode.

AFAIK nothing hinsted is in my games
Yep, you found every hint you had
i think the only thing people need from me is the World Sense check still
i;'ll play outer wild in a little while, once i've had some pizza
but i guess there's no rush unless ah int happens
Pretty sure world sense is junk, no?
Oh, like the check in the world sense location
yeah
one of my go mode items is there
Hi
Log update
Let's play Golden Sun. Thanks for hover.
With the hover jade I can do the jupiter lighthouse!
FlitterGS sent Small Key (Face Shrine) to La DxRomulus (Contigo - Mia)
The serpent is dead
Zora Tunic for yay, Goron Tunic for Meganought
Game is back in BK mode
Oh also, Kratta played yesterday
Kratta got hookshot for Meganought, Lurien for Wcctnoam, Gold Questagon for Llisandur, Lurien for Artiks, and most importantly, Nothing for Dr. Romulus
I need the following checks to finish up my games:
Golden Sun hints:
[Hint]: FlitterGS's Sheba is at Gerudo Training Ground Stalfos Chest in FlitterOoT's World at Ganons Castle Grounds -> Ganons Castle Lobby. (not found)
[Hint]: FlitterGS's Whirlwind is at Gerudo Training Ground Maze Path First Chest in FlitterOoT's World at Ganons Castle Grounds -> Ganons Castle Lobby. (not found)

let's play outer wilds
dr rOWmulus sent Fairy to LlisandurFox (Ship Log: WHS 1 - Warp Towers)
dr rOWmulus sent Heavy_Blow to octyKnight (Ship Log: Frozen Shuttle 2 - Energy Readings)
fuk, i opened the sun station door just as it was being swallowed. that shit is LOUD
dr rOWmulus sent Bomb Bag to FlitterOoT (ET: Lakebed Cave (Floor Text))
dr rOWmulus sent Fury_of_the_Fallen to Wcctnoam (ET Ship Log: Lakebed Cave 2 - Entanglement Rule)
dr rOWmulus sent Fragile_Greed to octyKnight (ET Ship Log: Quantum Caves 1 - Wandering Rock)
shine get
motherfucker, i got got on the sun station a second time
aaaaaand i just flew into the sun on the way back to ash twin

I guess I got my last dreamer at some point? Gonna finish the game now
dr rOWmulus sent Minuet of Forest to MeganOOT (Sun Station (Projection Stone Text))
dr rOWmulus sent Golden Coin to LlisandurFox (Ship Log: Sun Station 3 - Comet)
At this point
I see, I was ignoring everything that wasn't a message from Kratta so that's on me
And that's HK done. Only one Radiance attack is unavoidable without dash
kazoo ending GET
Nice work
shine get
hourglass twins complete
dark bramble complete
giant's deep bk'd
got out of the comet just in time to get on my ship just as it got sucked off the surface, and i repaired the ship damage trap just in time to fall into the sun for a fourth time this session
anyway, i'm fully BK'd, all i have left is the rest of the tower of quantum bullshit and the sixth location stuff, just locked behind [Hint]: dr rOWmulus's Imaging Rule is at Song from Saria in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
dr rOWmulus found their Ship Damage Trap (Ship Log: Ruptured Core 4 - Warn the Others)
that brings OW to 93.54%
let's play ladx
bd's again
just need the thing from octy who needs their dreamer
oof this is gonna be a long fight, facing shadow link with 19 heart containers and double defence
Can make it easier with the stun trick
oh i beat him
Oh good
For future reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcTMf114Ujg
I knew this strat on MakerMario's video(how to kill dark link in 1 hit).
it's useful for speedrun too.
eh
i just didnt lock on and used the megaton hammer
for some reason that just works
Yeah
he doesnt block the hammer if you're not locked on so just kept hitting him
Megaton hammer is great if you don't have biggoron sword
descending dark wcct
Apparently, dark link cannot benefit from double defense
He only counts your hearts
Which means in an optimized setup he needs five hits to go down from 20 hearts
Such a strange boss
It's a banger idea
So true!
prog strength flitteroot
Nice
How does one get to the shadow temple entrance without the warp song? Can you hookshot the fence thing in front of it?
You can do jabu jabu as an adult
Ah
The only thing you can't do is the boss
1- Do a hookshot jump https://youtu.be/HTU0fKl-6uQ
tech found by Rosewater
setup found by Bakeneko
This is not the fastest setup but is way safer because you cant get hit by the poe. It loses a little under a second to the fastest setup.
I think I need to kill the boss to get the ocarina of time check as well as to get the dungeon rewards so I can cross the bridge to enter GTG
2- superslide as child https://youtu.be/B2DFlSJcBwk (harder)
also can be used to get the graveyard wall gs as child without rang
chus are annoying
3- Bomb hover https://youtu.be/LPZ8GKwMyZk
Since you have randomized warp songs, one warp song is guaranteed to take you to the graveyard pad, AND an owl drop can take you there too
Oh I forgot I haven't tried all the owl drops yet
There's one in lake hylia and one in DMT
I have all the songs but none of them take me to the graveyard?
Really? I thought it was guaranteed
I guess one of your owls must have it then
It's the same for fire temple
Locking shadow temple behind an owl drop is a genius way to make Jabu Jabu child link exclusive
Yeah. I think like five of them take me to various parts of death mountain, though 
Yeah it makes sense
Oh also
None of the methods I showed earlier are logic tricks
So you'll never have to do them except in glitched logic
if yoot can get me this im go mode and nothing else matters
otherwise i need these from flitteroot to get that check that flitter keeps bugging me about in the wastemand
Another shop item, y'all are breaking the bank
gannon castle keyring flitteroot
Pretty nice
right i've been go mode for subnautica for a while but honestly my run this time has been so shit my desire to finish it has been next to nil
i just need to grind resources
oh i actually need this
i forgot that ion batteries and ion power cells are different checks for some reason
what are you talking about
#OuterWildsRando:
Is this loss
nope 
its SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE SUNDAY
new port...
@tender pelican I got both questagons you hinted
I think I will release now its just scattered blue coins left
87% is enough
Artio Sunshine sent Relic (Cake Stand) to Plucky (Delfino Plaza - Canal Sewer Blue Coin)
Artio Sunshine sent Small Key (Face Shrine) to La DxRomulus (Corona Mountain - Front Right Lava Blue Coin)
Artio Sunshine sent Small Key (Key Cavern) to La DxRomulus (Noki Bay - Red Coins on the Half Shell)
Artio Sunshine sent Relic (Crayon Box) to Plucky (Noki Bay - Left Tunnel Blue Coin)
The corona mountain one is weird because I got all of those but only half sent checks
now im waiting for my dreamers and wings in HK
Hmm
Doesn't look like we can finish before the end of January at this rate
Two games are around 50%, less than half games finished
Then again, it was a tough month
Hm, wonder where people got stuck?
Looks like 4 of the 5 remaining questagon locations are in Yoot's world. I just need 3 of them.
I'm waiting on Kratta and Meganought. Meganought can't help me until yay plays (unless he wants to learn the shadow temple shortcut skip)
Subnautica is waiting on Artiks who is waiting on me and I'm waiting for Kratta
Learn how to clip through the gate mid-way through Shadow Temple and get straight to the boat and ride into the last section of the dungeon. Great way to get the dungeon completed quickly in a speedrun or randomizer.

He doesn't want to spend sticks so he throws Ruto at enemies
Lol.

Crosscode update
force_filler_local: If selected, forces all filler items to be placed in your own world.
Modified location groups to be much more helpful. There are now location groups named after each major area which include all chests, cutscenes, elements, quests, and shops from those areas. Also, there are now location groups for each area containing just the checks of each of those categories if any exist in that area. In total, the location groups of this format now include: ```
Very handy for the way I play
Nice

dr rOWmulus sent Zora Tunic to FlitterOoT (QM: Explore the Sixth Location)
dr rOWmulus sent Yarn to Plucky (QM Ship Log: Sixth Location 4 - Source)
all checks complete! just need to do my goal now
dr rOWmulus (Team #1) has completed their goal.

i definitely preferred logsanity and split translator
still bk'd in ladx
li'l turtle flitter
Thanks
FlitterAE sent Shade_Cloak to Wcctnoam (8-1 City Park Coin - Sewers Front)
FlitterAE sent Abyss_Shriek to Wcctnoam (4-2 Coral Cave Monkey 2 - Oreo)
That's all right
You can !release instead
Now, for the fourth and final time
Let's finish Monkey Madness
I'm finally at the climb portion
To get here I needed the sky flyer, RC car, slingback shooter, and access to the level
have you got / are you able to get my wings now after krøt played?
Who do I need to ping for Yoot?
@sage dawn
Nearly all my questagons left are in their world. And that's all I need to complete the game.
FlitterAE sent Monomon to octyKnight (9-1 Monkey Madness Coin - Climb (Outside)) @proven holly
FlitterAE sent Shine Sprite to Artio Sunshine (9-1 Monkey Madness Monkey 20 - Bronson) get
FlitterAE sent Magic Wand to LlisandurFox (9-1 Monkey Madness Monkey 18 - Shine)
if we get all 120 we get the secret ending
HK ending is go now yay
will finish today and release
i need the boos key for gannons castle but for some reason cant hint it?
Read your YAML
Did you make a setting that you don't need the key? I had stuff like that for FF1 since I started with them from my settings but I didn't know.
Gannon's Castle boss key is not shuffled
Or that would do it. If it's not in the pool you can't hint it.
There's a hint in the game that tells you how to get it
But I forgot where
Hmm, you set it to be anywhere in the world
yeah i keysanityed it
Whatever, just wate a hint and I'll give you the location from the spoiler log
its the last thing i need so yeah plase do
Ganons Castle Water Trial Right Chest (Yoot): Boss Key (Ganons Castle) (MeganOOT)
whelp
Ah, it all falls on yay
@sage dawn this is mildly important, when you have time please
Oh the reason you couldn't hint was because the item name sucks
You gotta do !hint boss key (ganons castle)
i was having a lot of difficulty with it
Lol. Reminds me of the Hollow Knight items with all the underscores for no reason.
I might add Rabi Ribi next time. I played through the whole game, but I'll have to see how it is in rando. Might also add Earthbound.
That's Specter 1, time for Specter 2
I should consider doing the outer wilds dlc as well
isn't this related to it being (HK) Randomizer 4 based
Apparently a bug in Ape Escape causes the final level to be impossible to enter
I guess I'll just release
FlitterAE found their Victory (9-2 Peak Point Matrix - Specter) Releasing gave me my own victory and counted this as a win
Yeah I have to check the item list on github a lot of the time
You can also read a spoiler log
True
octyKnight sent Nightmare Key (Catfish's Maw) to La DxRomulus (World_Sense)
time to see if i can beat radiance this time
octyKnight (Team #1) has completed their goal.
radiance ded
I should be able to do oot tonight
Folks b gaming 
FlitterOoT sent Small Key (Shadow Temple) to MeganOOT (Kak Bazaar Item 8)
I'm out of hints to find, so Imma go kill ganon now
Good luck
well i can kill bongo bongo now, not sure i need to tho
One day I want to kill Ganon with the ultimate weapon
Ruto's ass
It kills him in one hit, but you have to get it there
It's well known that Ruto has a hitbox when dropped or thrown - specifically, she has kokiri sword and deku nut damage flags https://twitter.com/Fig02_/status/1617164550612156418 This is important, as the bosses in the game specifically requires sword slash damage values in order to take damage.
Using practice ROM tools, you can spawn actors (N...
let's play ladx
La DxRomulus sent Whispering_Root-Crystal_Peak to Arti Knight (Slime Eel Heart Container (Catfish's Maw))
La DxRomulus (Team #1) has completed their goal.
Well done
floot has won!
Woo!

Holy shit it's already the 29th
yeah, part of me was hoping to bring Nine Sols to a February game but that's clearly not happening so I need to pick something soon
Hi
Let's play Golden Sun
Thanks for mimic, Piers, Mia, Sheba (in a row!), Whirlwind, Li'l Turtle, Mimic
FlitterGS sent Monarch_Wings to Arti Knight (Naribwe - Reveal Circle)
@sage dawn Are you going to be able to play today?
I wonder if I'm ready for this fight
It's the final boss so they even have a special animation for entering the fight
FlitterGS sent Small Key (Gerudo Training Ground) to MeganOOT (Islet Cave - Central Room Top)
lets play HK
Arti Knight found their Shade_Cloak (Grub-Basin_Requires_Wings)
Arti Knight sent Small Key (Forest Temple) to MeganOOT (Simple_Key-Basin)
dont remember if he beat the game yet
Lost Kin is very easy with spore shroom..
Arti Knight sent Gold Skulltula Token to FlitterOoT (Boss_Essence-Lost_Kin)
how do I get in here in rando
iirc they lowered the blue health requirement to get in but I don't remember if it was "any blue" or some other fixed number or what
Yeah you just need one of the blue mask charms
At least that's how I did it, with 7 masks
I have all 3!
Nah, that's yoot
Arti Knight sent Gold Questagon to LlisandurFox (King's_Idol-Crystal_Peak)
2 left.
im gonna skip ff4 iron gauntlet i think that games done
Yup.
Mb
Thank you for the daedalus summon
Finally
Only took five and a half hours to figure the fight out
FlitterGS (Team #1) has released all remaining items from their world.
Looks like my game didn't have anything essential left
We're now at 12/17 games done!
Subnautica, Tunic, Artik's Hollow Knight, yay and Meganought's OoT left
Oh shit, BOMBCHUS
That's the fourth bombchus you've been sent
Speaking of which, log update!
Let me adjust my settings so I'm ready for next time
bro wrote artik's..
Potatoes potatoe’s
This time I'll change the following settings:
major_minor_split:
# When enabled, all major locations will prefer progressive and all minor locations will prefer filler.
'false': 0
'true': 1
omit_locations:
# Choose to omit locations containing optional harder boss fights
# No Omission: keeps all super bosses in play.
# Omit Anemos Inner Sanctum: omits Anemos Inner Sanctum. Removes roughly 4 locations from the pool.
# Omit Superbosses and Inner Sanctum: omits all super bosses and Anemos Inner Sanctum. Removes roughly 7 locations from the pool
no_omission: 0
omit_anemos_inner_sanctum: 0
omit_superbosses_and_inner_sanctum: 1
reveal_hidden_item:
# Require Reveal to be able to logically access hidden items.

# this purely gives more control to activating the glitch over draining your PP to than use it anyway.
'false': 0
'true': 1
Number one will incentivize me to seek out bosses and dungeon ends.
Number two will make sure I don't delay the game too much by trying to build for superbosses.
Number three will let me use universal tracker for invisible checks instead of having to memorize where they are.
Number four will make the game more closed up.
I might be picking a different game if I can find an officially supported one (I know I can work outside of those, but I don’t feel ready for that)
If I do go hat in time again my goal will not be seal the deal. that’s the point where death wish gets way too insane for my current skill level
I was gonna say it’s nuts how celeste 64 has support and celeste doesn’t, but celeste doesn’t really have many progression things even if you invent some. Hearts, level entrances/tapes, strawberries, and…that’s it
I think you can easily pick an unsupported game
A lot of them are not harder to get running than supported games
Where’s the full list with not supported games as well?
Dang it discord
That works enough, thanks
The only different thing you need to is give me the apworld file you wanna use.
Celeste does have an archipelago but it's still in development so it's unsupported for now
I usually pick one different game each month and keep the others the same. This month I'll run the same three and hopefully I get to play OoT instead of fucking up and forgetting to put Kratta's YAML in
Might just work on actually playing Sacred Stones so I can then randomize it
I mean, I could otherwise, but uh. It’d be weird lmao
I play games in archipelago without having played the base game sometimes
You just have to make sure that you can put in the time to learn and finish it, even though it'll be harder
finished subnautica, sent my last 6 checks away
Granted one gba emblem game is like the others, but having what I assume is random characters and/or gear is going to throw off its ‘incredibly easy’ reputation
Keizaron plays it on his streams sometimes
The randomizer does fuck him a lot of the time. It takes him 8-12 hours to finish a seed sometimes
Hell what if enemies are randomized? Imagine map 1, I have to kill 3 bosses with just eirika and the knight dude
ive got a better refined sc2 yaml (so it hopefully doesn't finish so fast lol) and might throw in wind waker as well as keeping HK mostly as is
I’m definitely doing a casual playthrough first
once I tried to put in The Witness without finishing base game, and uhhhh trying to figure out randomized puzzles that I hadn't learned mechanics for was certainly interesting
oh noooo
I’d love to try osrs but we’re on time limits, and chunkman is both something I’ve never done before and requires extensive wikiwalking
I hear far more stories of people hurting themselves by randomizing a game they don't play than the other way around 
I am an ironwoman but like. I left f2p long ago. Min 50’s in everything and a 99 FM (gotten before they fixed wintertodt…)
I wouldn’t know shit about how to chunkman it
at the bare minimum, how would you ever know what the items and locations are if you haven't played vanilla? I've never seen a randomizer that seriously tries to tutorialize all of that
Look them up
cheat
the names, sure, but that won't tell you what they do/where they are
Both!
also oot is still locked behind gannon boss key
No, no
Ugh, I'm going to have to learn how to make an apworld. I just looked up and there's a Quest for Glory randomizer. That might be fun.
“First one, then the other if necessary”
fwiw a manual apworld is extremely easy to make
I haven't played Golden Sun 2 in like fifteen years so I had no idea where any of the items are. So what I did was use Universal Tracker to look up location names, then the wiki and guides to find them
right my gannon boss key is behind the gannon water trial for yoot, literally endgame
to be clear, I never said you needed to have played vanilla recently
Same process for OoT, and I never played the vanilla version
Water trial can be early game sometimes. Any access to ganon's castle is also access to the chests in water trial
oh huh
vanilla entrance it seems, so, probably not
I guess major Zelda games are so thoroughly documented that would work out
Yeah, in the case a game is not documented, I watch someone's let's play to see how they do it
ah, right, watching an LP of the vanilla game certainly works (for many genres), did not mean to exclude that
For Golden Sun the issue I ran into is that the randomizer specific guides assume you played the game, the vanilla game guides don't account for randomizer changes, and nobody plays the game's randomizer because it's a pain
So I had to develop strategies to beat bosses on the fly! It's a lot harder than I expected because the game has a tiny screen and can't display all the relevant information in the same place
Also I randomized weapon effects which are actually crucial for many strategies
It's definitely a game that would benefit from a remake/upscale.
The randomizer has a setting for easier and stupider bosses, so you won't delay other players in the multiworld too much
@midnight depot can you release my world? I've got too much going on
Got it. Thank you so much for playing with me even though life is so hard nowadays

Log update. I am in bed so I cannot pick out what everyone got
I will try to send updated yamls before i leave for HarmonyCon
ill have my boss key so ill complete my oot now then
Nothing is changing except adding deathlink to outer wilds
Unless ladx deathlink has been added since last month
If the apworld is not changing I can just toggle deathlink on my end and use the same yamls
finished and released
only thing of vague import was magic beans for flitteroot
maybe we could do a 2 week format sometime. Feels like we always play for 5-7 days and then nothing happens for 20 days before we rush the end 👴
it sucks when someone like me BKs early, because i actually enjoy playing the games i pick, and then have drip feeding stuff for the rest of the month
i dont use hints till it becomes somewhat frustratingly close to the end of the month, and they're almost always stuff for other people, or stuff that requires stuff from other people
We've done a two weekish format once or twice last year. If you like it, I can organize it sometimes. Gotta think about the best place to do it
fwiw, I'm fine either way; if you all go for a 2w game I'll just bring 1-2 games instead of 2-4
The current pace suits me just fine personally, but I do think some people tend to be run into issues spreading out the workload over the whole month. What if we did like a three week thing for February so we have space before the next game to plan?
Even with three games I had large gaps of not much going on, so doing it in three weeks should be fine.
Tunic completed and all items released.
who's left?
arti knight
yeah
I could do a 2 week game or a 3 week game, I just could not do them regularly with no breaks in-between
here are yamls for next time and the apworld for wind waker
Here's mine for the next set. FF1, FF4, Tunic, and added Earthbound.
Tunic and FF4 apworlds are updated from last time.
kroot
I'm doing hat game again but with some tweaks. No entrance shuffling, generally easier settings, but I'm gonna try to 100% as much as feasible before releasing. Also, traps are in play now, so that's fun.
Of note is starting with umbrella, and snatcher's contracts just being in my world (it was weird when they technically weren't). Should reduce annoying BK amount.
I'm going all in
randomising the umbrella in hat in time and making it memorable is like, one of the few fun keys you can rando in that game 
Good morning
We have one game left!
https://youtu.be/kIZzkYggvbE nice strategy for bypassing the gate. Needs hover boots, hookshot, and a sword.
Why do everyone use risky fastest strat?
I guess there are only a few seconds difference.
This jump was discovered by yama7352.
I improved it little and wanted to introduce his great strat.
Doesn't seem too tough, but it is involved
If you want to reduce being in BK mode, you can increase your progression balancing value from 50 to something like 55-65. Keep in mind this will make it so other people wait on you more.
WIND WAAAKEERRRRRRR
TRUE TRUE TRUEEE MASTER PIECE
Hey, Artiks, are you going to play today? Yours is the last game left, unless Kratta wants to keep playing OoT and get the rest of the checks
not sure
Very unfortunate
I killed the radiance
yey
Lol.
lmao even
Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago game for January 2025! This game had 58 spheres and 6127 locations. The playthrough file lists receivers from last to first: @wet field with my OoT (sorry), @tender pelican with FF4, @lament tusk with OoT, Llisandur with Tunic and FF1, me with Golden Sun, @cold valve with LADX, @ancient harness with Hollow Knight, me again with Ape Escape, @weary lagoon with SM Sunshine, Meganought with Subnautica, Artiks with Hollow Knight, Dr. Romulus with Outer Wilds, @sage dawn with OoT, @proven holly with Hollow Knight @bright hatch with A Hat in Time, and Octy with Starcraft 2. Included is the spoiler log, game log, output file, and YAMLs used. The game link was at https://archipelago.gg/room/1ZJ4gGS6RLKkrfO-R6w-MA
17 Players Multiworld
running on archipelago.gg with port 46777
Would y'all prefer if I started the next one Saturday February 1st or Monday February 3rd? It'll be for three weeks
Dr Romulus and I will be at HarmonyCon until the 3rd.
Monday works best what with the con and all
Makes sense
I'm leaning towards AHiT and Psychonauts next time (easy games only, wanna keep making progress on 9S rando dev), will sort out the actual files when I'm sure
Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the end of February 2025. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run (or browse https://multiworld.news/apworlds.html for unsupported games!), then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems. Let's try to make sure that you like the game you picked and can complete it by the end of the month!
The game will start February 3rd or whenever everyone interested is ready.
In order to join, I will need the YAML files for whatever games you want to play. I already have files from octy, Llisandur, kratta, Plucky, Wcctnoam, Dr. Romulus, and myself.
i am still busy this month and likely next
Minecraft? hmmmm
minecraft kinda sucks in AP
It is pretty hard to set up Minecraft so be careful
yeah, games with open world-levels of player freedom struggle to randomize well
I have the following games so far
Plus Dr. Romulus
Oh, but his YAML doesn't even have a deathlink setting to turn on
Nevermind, it's in the middle
@cold valve do you want default or all deaths?
What about Undertale then?
No one played Undertale in this server before, but I hear it's easy and fun!
not really sure if theres anything i wanna play this time
Feel free to set it up using this guide https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Undertale/setup/en
Alr, I already have that one set up but I'll to get MC running too
Oh, if you have Undertale set up already, then all I need is a YAML
Just make sure the settings are good and you can finish all your games in the three week period
Could I do both or just one?
i was thinking about a pokemon game
default
Got it, set.
don't worry i'll still die plenty otherwise
I’ll start my sacred stones playthru in my offtime so i can get familiar with it before doing the randomizer
Last I looked at Pokemon games they were not exciting
I could add challenge by doing an ironman run…I bet there’s a toggle for that
Hopefully the new development on them makes for a more fun AP
How do I do that?
oh neat! which one am i?
i haven't been up to date on pokemon sprites in like 25 years
Tyranitar #1119170161518334004 message
Did you ever play Archipelago before? Did you randomize Undertale before using archipelago?
I have done neither. I was going to play with some friends, but we haven't done that yet.
Okay, in order to play, the person who creates the game needs a setting file
The setting file is in YAML format.
I need you to configure your Undertale game, then take the YAML file and give it to me
Use this guide to get Undertale running before you send me a setting file. https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Undertale/setup/en
Make sure the game works and you can randomize it before you join the Manechat group
Pokemon Emerald is a lot more interesting than Crystal!
ok
no
pokemon crystal has 2 maps and 16 gyms
but it was really big and I already did it
do I just turn on randomize stats? then generate singleplayer?
I don't know!
I've never randomized Undertale.
Consider asking in the archipelago discord server
it's very much the job of the game-specific setup guides to explain how to set it up
This is their Undertale channel https://discord.com/channels/731205301247803413/1148330675452264499
Yes, make sure you read this guide carefully https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Undertale/setup/en
ok
What I need is for you to set up your own archipelago game, and send or receive one item to make sure you can connect.
Then you can give me your YAML file and I'll put you in the Manechat game
mhm
This is good!
The default settings are fine. Just pick settings you know you can finish
For a longer game I might do pacifist route instead of neutral
I'm doing default setting in Earhtbound since I haven't done it before. We'll see how it turns out.
I would definitely randomize the item button and make weapons and armors progressive
Randomizing stats is also fine
Would I need weapons in a pacifist?
No
Never
random stats is only used for Geno
It’s balanced around using as little violence as possible, so weapon is useless aside from the torn notebook still giving i-frames
If you've beaten the game on genocide, and you're fine with playing the game thrice, you can do all routes
Undertale is a short game so this makes sense
I've only beaten it once on neutral I think
The good news is that regular encounters are easy as heck in geno
…there’s two bosses you no doubt know of that are not, however
Here it is then
Excellent! I'll put it with the rest tomorrow. Excited to play with you
me too
Hi. Let's check if everyone so far is good
Exception: Item Specter from option ExcludedItems(Brynhilds, Corruptor, Death Heads, Defiler, Devil Dogs, Disruptor, Dusk Wings, Ghost, HERC, Hammer Securities, Hel's Angels, Instigator, Liberator, Midnight Riders, Mothership, Predator, Raven, Siege Breakers, Spartan Company, Specter, Valkyrie, War Pigs, Warhound, Winged Nightmares) is not a valid item name from Starcraft 2. Did you mean 'Spectre' (85% sure)
I'll try with Spectre
Seems to generate with it on!
New rule on the archipelago server: No new Nintendo games
**We welcome development of all games so long as you aren't breaking our server rules.**
- Except for Nintendo games, for which we allow only consoles whose support has been officially discontinued.
- In cases where a game was originally released on multiple consoles (like Twilight Princess) the later of the two relevant consoles is considered the release console.
- Ex. Twilight Princess is considered a Wii Game and Breath of the Wild is considered a Switch game
- Remasters are considered unique releases
- Ex. Twilight Princess HD is a Wii U game```
it was a de facto rule forever but good to have it written down
rip to my hopes for xenoblade rando
Very understandable rule
Xenoblade 1 is on the switch?
Doesn't count, I think
Well they haven't removed these games
I don't think the AP setup for those games would work for the switch online versions
I'll include it
Debating if I should also bring a Zelda game or not
Oracle of seasons
More like oracle of garbage..
I knew you hated Capcom
no they made minish cap the greatest game of all time
right I need to get on that already
oh are we starting today?
oh, are you aware of "Archipelago 0.5.1 Hotfix1"?
Yeah
We could! If everyone is prepared
i thought we were waiting until the third because of harmonycon but im down to start today
I don't know, is it important for everyone to be around on the first day? I have no issue with asynchronous starts
I remember someone saying/implying they wanted to do at least some of this synchronously and with death_link
Expressed desire for it at some point but didn't specify the start
ok, I have yamls and apworlds, but I should probably install and test the latest mod for Psychonauts since that was an iffier setup than most
im gonna think about my 2nd game in the showe and come back to you
I might actually bow out this month so I can have fewer excuses to not work on my fanfics and stuff 
Yeah, ideally once or twice a week per game
As long as you get items other people need, and you finish your game by the end, there's no issue
Alright I think I will stick to just Emerald this time. It should be pretty long with my settings
the main thing is not to overcommit to more game than you can reliably play
Yeah, if you have too much to play, you'll have to either spend a lot more time than you expected, or worse
Who wants to be my rival in the game
Me
Apparently Explorers of the Sky has an apworld
Still very early in development,
Honestly, I have quite a lot of time to play games
we shall see 
but yeah as long as you've played the game(s) once before, and are doing mostly default options, it should be fine
decided to also throw in the SR1 manual I made while Nire and I were overanalyzing that series last month, so 3 games for me after all but they should be relatively small/easy ones
Serious Gaming ™️ will be for after I finally get my 9S rando fully playable
is that the first time anyone's brought a manual to this?
Yes
I considered making a manual a couple of times but decided against it
Might in the future
So we're starting today? My usual saturday plans were cancelled so it would work well for me. 
I can't gurantee I'd be able to play significantly today
And I won't play much until Monday, but I should be able to start the game in about an hour
I'll try to do the usual first location per game thing (esp Psychonauts), more if another commitment falls through
I don't know how hard mine is going to be so the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned, but that worry could turn out to be unfounded
Okay, let's check everyone is in, and NOT forget like last time
@bright hatch are you still dropping out from this month? Want me to remove your YAML from the list?
Am I in?
Wow who is A hat in time no name
Ixrec, I just added his files
I'm out, prob
let's go with yes
Here's everyone labeled
do, or do not, there is no prob
yes as in, not doing this month, for clarity
Got it. Let me know if you want to join next time, but I'll drop your file

That leaves us with 19 games
That's a lot for a three week thing. Hope everything goes well
Llisandurs mom is joining this month thats nice
It's Llisandur playing Mother
Octy has a lot on their plate
but their wind waker settings seemed kind
you should change it to start without sword without them knowing though, thats the essence of a WW rando
love throwing pots at enemies for half the game
you should see what swordless start does to Tunic
thats just another zelda game so I assume its the same
I did consider plando themed games
KeyError: 'Could not find option "braintank" for "Goal", known options are asylum_brain_tank, brain_hunt, asylum_brain_tank_and_brain_hunt'
Did I not install the apworld correctly?
Got it
I misremembered the option name
Tunic doesn't have pot throwing
but the real consequence is that you can't cut through bushes without the sword
I assumed the name changed and you set it to the new name but I'm on the old apworld
#1 Tunic rando new player question is how to get past the damn bushes 
I need a different font for reading YAMLs
how do you get past them
gM destroys my eyes
there's two main ways, a) knowing some of the game's secrets provides a way to get a few free bombs right from the start, and b) you can bait enemies into cutting bushes for you
iirc in later versions the rando devs added c) a menu option that just deletes the goddamn bushes so people would stop asking 
The classic "get demolishers to destroy cliffs for you before you unlock cliff explosives" trick
the more serious issue for me though is that running past all the enemies just isn't very fun; next time I do Tunic I'll probably be rolling an early non-sword starting weapon
A fun rando for Tunic would be if you could rando the Golden Path, then make that the goal
But I guess the clues for it would have to be taken out of the manual and put somewhere else
Who made this fucking font
This is unreadable
In the end it turns out good old Roboto Mono was the best option
And now that my mind is clear from this task, I realize I haven't updated Ape Escape yet
I suck at wind waker enough already
last time I tried it I ended up quitting out at forsaken fortress just because of how it was designed but that should not happen this time
Wind Waker sucks at me. People like the art style a lot but I can't stand it
cel shading is one of my favorite techniques
part of why my favorite Zelda is spirit tracks
spirit tracks...
have you played it on the DS
the flute is the worst video game mechanic of all time
never got to play it outside of emulator, no
maybe that makes it playable
Okay, last pass to see if everyone's here.
Octy: Submitted SC2, TWW, HK. Present.
Llisandur: FF1, FF4, Tunic, Earthbound. Present.
Kratta: OoT. Present.
Plucky: Dropped out for the month.
Wcctnoam: Hollow Knight -- Good luck! Present.
Dr. Romulus: Mostly the same settings as before. Present.
ClearrPony: Undertale. Present.
Artiks: Pokemon Emerald. Present.
Ixrec: Psychonauts, Soul Reaver Manual, A Hat in Time. Present.
Me: Ape Escape, Golden Sun, OoT. Present
That's everyone accounted for. Let's generate
may be too preoccupied to participate but I'll try to at least double-check Psychonauts is working after gen
Bah
19 Players Multiworld
running on archipelago.gg with port 38751
Lots of files for everyone

Alright, looks like I'm first up to bat. Let's see what if anything I can accomplish
I'm playing now too
@weary lagoon, @fresh hill, @cold valve, @proven holly, @tender pelican the game is up! Play at your own pace, and tell me if you need anything. The goal is to finish before February 25.
Ah, only down-slash, so this is the real split-nail experience
Wait a fucking second
Last time by the time I started I had one side and also mothwings
Bombchus for someone
WHY do we have two FlitterOoTs?
What the fuck is this?
There's only one copy of the game and the YAML
Is this an archipelago bug with manual apworlds or something?
only one flitteroot on the game page
the room only lists one FlitterOoT
I forget what the hotfix was about
Are we resetting?
Pokemon Emerald has how many checks
Zora Tunic for Flitter
POKEMON EMERALD HAS HOW MANY CHECKS
Moonveil for FF4 if that's any good
Oh yeah I was about to comment about that
Emerald has 841 checks
Soul Reaver has 33
OoT has 765
you might have a few too many settings on lol
Angler Key for Rom, I think that's bad news for OW
last time my partner played Emerald he only had 371 checks
Every trainer is a check thats a cool setting they have
Oh at least you don't have dexsanity
another cool setting is every battle has a 15% chance to be a double battle
No 
Id never
ok time to make new wind waker disc
Wcct's Iselda shop (store):
LisandurFox's Phonomath
Kroot's Ocarina
LisandurMom's Red Ribbon?
Ixrec's Progressive Marksmanship
A bunch of stuff I know is not important
shout out to wcct
Ixnaut sent Elegant_Key to octyKnight ((BT Main) Outside Caravan)
ok yeah Psychonauts works fine

Easy Carpinha
growlithe gang
the fish is really good right
Arcanine is better than Carpinha i think
By the time you have Arcanine you'll probably have found a Mewtwo
Yeah I was memeing
the thing is water type is special this gen theres no special split yet
so the 110 attack is kinda wasted
the first battle isnt randoed
I guess its so you dont get stuck on the first required fight
Wcct's grub rewards (store):
LisandurFF4's Masamune, sounds good since it's a famouse sword
Kroot's Spirt Temple key
Ixre'cs Max Ammo increase
Ixrec's Clem's Brain?
LisandurMom's Yogurt?
LisandurFox's Gold Questagon?
Bunch of unimportant stuff
Spirit Temple Key and Gold Quesagon are important
this hinted automatically when I got Growlithe 
this might be a good addition to my team
Oh, I dont get to name May in this game, so no Rival Flitter
That's okay because my name happens to be May
FlitterAE sent Kid Coach's Mind to Ixnaut (Time Station Mailbox - Welcome! (Main))
FlitterAE sent Swim to octyKnight (Time Station Mailbox - Save Station (Main))
FlitterAE sent Grubberfly's_Elegy to octyKnight (Time Station Mailbox - Training Space (Gadget Training))
FlitterAE sent Reaper to octy_SC2 (Time Station Mailbox - Mini Game Corner (Mini Game Corner))
Octy is saved
swim pog
I'm gonna get some pizza and then probably play after
so far i have found two items, both for myself in HK lol
give krøt a knife
octyTWW sent Lili's Bracelet to Ixnaut (The Great Sea - Salvage Corp Gift)
Time for to beat Mawlek with nothing
ArtiksPKMN sent Silver Rupee to octyTWW (Littleroot Town - Pokeballs from Rival)
who just filled my wallet lmao
Better go spend that before your wallets full
too late
silver is 200 in TWW and starter wallet is also 200
so it just fills it immediately :P
I stopped for now, halfway through ruin, but I'll get on again later today
Take your time. Three weeks is three checks per day, so you're on pace
Anyone currently on with Deathlink besides me?
no it would suck hard in pkmn
I just closed the game
If you want, you can tell me your schedule and I will make an effort to play OoT or Ape Escape when you're playing, but not today because Sunday is gonna be a very long day
hookshot
The only-down-slash strat for Mawlek is sooooo funny
And it works pretty well
Yeah just this perfect angle where you hover
Lots of bosses have a jank downslash strat that actually works
My favorite is what's his name
Soul Tyrant
But he teleports all the time?
octyTWW sent Swarm Queen to octy_SC2 (Windfall Island - Mila - Follow the Thief) zerg in go mode /s
He does. The key is that downslashing helps you get away from almost all of his attack hitboxes
i did find it funny how a lot of the game was easier without upslash
The "dash side to side attack with projectiles circling the boss" is the one where downslash is not good for
All the others are made easier with downslash, but slower
this lvl 7 trainer just used full restore
The worst boss for downslash is probably Marmu
Rich parents
Do you have randomized abilities?
nah
Huge Power is great. Polywag is fine but I would not take it without huge power
im gonna pass im not a huge polywrath fan
ArtiksPKMN sent Rutos Letter to FlitterOoT (Petalburg Woods - Bug Catcher Lyle)
big
Nepo trainer
ArtiksPKMN sent Ocarina to kay are oh oh te (Route 104 - TM09 from Boy)
HUGE grub
👀
Eat your heart out, Wooloo
Dekut stick capacity for Kroot
octyTWW sent Room 1 Key to ArtiksPKMN (Windfall Island - Jail - Tingle - First Gift)
finally, something not for myself
octyTWW sent Blaze to FlitterGS (Windfall Island - Maggie - Free Item)
ArtiksPKMN sent Pegasus Boots to La DxRomulus (Route 116 - Item in Grass) yooo
Hell yeah
Blaze fucking sucks, but it comes into use in the very final dungeon so it's technically a go mode item
The PS4 is a great controller but the cable for it is very bad
i have one of the xbox controllers
That's why I usually play with bluetooth
technically its wireless but it sucks
And charge using the cable
ArtiksPKMN sent Defender's_Crest to Wcctnoam (Route 116 - School Kid Karen) 
Wow
The poo charm is my first charm and it's 2 whole pips
At least I can use it
octy_SC2 sent Ocarina to La DxRomulus (Lab Rat: Gather Minerals)
I got the 15% chance double battle on the first gym leader
our battle will be legendary
Trapinch is in Emerald?
Grepa berry for Artiks 
Weaversong for myself is actually huge. That doubles or triples my DPS
Oh wait, Emerald is the Ruby Sapphire gen
And uses my soul which I can't use otherwise
Level 14 Dugtrio, cheating like that one Executive in B&W
She chose not to use earthquake on the 2nd try so I won
Wcct's Sly shop (store):
Slingshot for Flitter
World Key for FlitterAE?
Ixnaut's Vernon's Brain?
Ixnaut's Psicard?
The rest is fodder
octy_SC2 sent Grimmkin_Flame to Wcctnoam (The Great Train Robbery: South Defiler)

good bird name
Some of them
Fuck you May
I guess flightless birds don't
Wcct's Salubra (store):
DxRom's Small Key (Key Cavern)
LisandurFF4's Ancient Sword?
LisandurMom's Talisman Ribbon?
FliiterOoT's Spirit Temple Boss Key
Artik's TM23?
LisandurFox's Key
Bunch of stuff
Ancient sword and masamune should not be important. Thanks for spirit temple key
Oh I just realised it was a total coincidence that wcct hinted the fire stone just as I got growlithe lol
Yeah I would've mentioned any evo stone regardless
Who knows when they could be useful
Weaver charm literally giving me access to Greenpath despite still having nothing

He lost weight
Two things for Octy that sounded good, couldn't read fast enough
Holy shit I know that one
Understandable
Meet Krøt 2
So nice they made it twice
I beat the Vengeful Fly that's holding Zote without spawning the fight (my Weavers killed it)
Zote disappeared
octy_SC2 sent TM44 to ArtiksPKMN (The Spear of Adun: Close Warp Gate)
I hope it counts as freeing him, if it matters
It's not a bad move to have early game
It counts
octy_SC2 sent Shard to LlisandurFF1 (The Spear of Adun: North Warp Gate)
octy_SC2 sent Reveal to FlitterGS (The Spear of Adun: West Warp Gate)
I was hoping to play some of the seed without reveal
octy_SC2 sent Time Piece to Ixhat (Sky Shield: East Raynor Base)
octy_SC2 sent World Key to FlitterAE (Rendezvous: Left Queen)
Worst deal in the history of deals, maybe ever
no such thing as bad deal for grubs 
or a bike
i think i'm going to call SC2 BK'd for now, i might be able to squeeze out a few more checks but it's likely it'll be much easier soon
Alright that's BK for me
The combat skill challenge is fun as always, but the few tricks I had to learn to reach stuff marked as "reachable" turned out to be "die at the right spot then pogo on your shade", which is boring after the second time
Hoping it spices up
I think I missed a check in ruin
Just go back there later
I did go get it, but I don't think it counted
If you were connected it should count
You can tell me what it was called and I'll check if it's important and force send it if necessary (tomorrow)
Might've been before I remembered to input my name
"Toy Knife Edge" I think, unless that's not the one in ruin.
If you didn't send a check because you weren't connected archipelago usually sends it later when you send another check
ah k
Don't think I can do anything rn tho, it locks the other areas and the keys are in other games
Don't worry about it. Just check if you can play every day or so
k
controller cable acquired
octyTWW sent Carrot Key to LlisandurMom (Northern Fairy Island - Great Fairy)
i guess the Killer Bees are pokemon trainers now... octyTWW sent Repeat Ball to ArtiksPKMN (Windfall Island - Ivan - Catch Killer Bees)
octyTWW sent HM07 Waterfall to ArtiksPKMN (Windfall Island - Mrs. Marie - Catch Killer Bees)
thanks, waterfall is pretty late game
octyTWW sent Silent Running Mode to dr rOWmulus (Dragon Roost Cavern - First Room)
apparently your shops contain only Psychonauts items so: psi cards and (many) brains are not important, the badges like Progressive Marksmanship are like the OoT Bow where the 1st one is huge core progression and all later levels are a nice but unimportant upgrade
cool, that's one of the final area keys
octyKnight sent Small Key Ring (Gerudo Training Ground) to FlitterOoT (Geo_Rock-King's_Pass_Below_Fury)
now that I'm free to actually play some games, I'm gonna start with Soul Reaver because a) I forgot I uninstalled AHiT
b) SR1 has only 1 location in sphere 1, and it'd be nice to get the tutorial and first few fast travel points out of the way before someone finds a prog item; Psychonauts is way more open (esp with random first brain) so I'll be relatively free to do however much or little I feel like of that
octyKnight sent Progressive Wallet to FlitterOoT (Grubfather_1)
octyKnight sent Rat Tail to LlisandurFF4 (Geo_Rock-Crossroads_Aspid_Arena_Dupe_2)
slug slug slug slug octyKnight sent Shape_of_Unn to Wcctnoam (Geo_Rock-Crossroads_Aspid_Arena)
lol octyKnight found their Void_Heart (Geo_Rock-Crossroads_Goam_Alcove)
octyKnight sent Relic (Green Crayon) to Ixhat (Geo_Rock-Crossroads_Before_Glowing_Womb)
octyKnight sent Nocturne of Shadow to FlitterOoT (Grub-Crossroads_Acid)
wow my shops suck so far lol
ok, so it takes ~31 minutes for me to get from new SR1 file to beating Melchiah
Ixrec sent World Key to FlitterAE (Necropolis Melchiah Fight)
All 1 accessible locations have been checked! Congrats!
oh neat I actually got something useful from it
in Psychonauts, I can do... all of BTE (thanks for Marksmanship) and BB, and a little of BV, probably won't do all of that tonight but let's do at least one whole brain
Ixnaut sent Bait Bag to octyTWW ((BT Main) Behind Thorn Tower Right)
ok, BTE and BB complete (except for luggage tags)
Ixnaut sent Key to the Tower to LlisandurMom ((BB Area 2) Giant Soldier Cut-Out)
Ixnaut sent HM01 Cut to ArtiksPKMN ((BB Area 2) Pole-Swinging Tutorial)
Ixnaut sent Gerudo Membership Card to FlitterOoT ((BB Finale) End of Obstacle Course Right)
I think that's all the important progression
Ixnaut sent Progressive Bow to octyTWW ((CA Ford) Bottom of Sanctuary)
nice, cleaning up the few free overworld checks was the right call
Ixnaut sent Sheba to FlitterGS ((CA Ford) Top of Sanctuary)
no clue if this is important
that's enough Psychonauts for now, not BK'd, but only leaving part of one level (BV) undone
now let's make sure AHiT works
ok cool it's fine
Ixhat sent Left_Crystal_Heart to Wcctnoam (Mafia Town - Beneath Scaffolding)
for a "just one location" test item that was pretty good
looks like a typical early MT seed, I'll do the MT clear next time

Sheba is one of seven characters you find
Let's see what I can do with half a crystal heart
One check 
HUGE 15 geo for Octy
TIL when Ganondorf charges up his mega multi orb move in OoT and you spin attack to send them all back at him
You can actually just shoot him with the light arrow when he's charging
I just finished the no logic GDQ run, took 3 treadmill sessions
What?!
That's way cooler than dodging
I don't care. I want to finish the fight without having to climb up
climb up?
Yeah? If you get hit with the big attack it destroys the platforms you're under
Or maybe he has another attack that does it
I don't even remember what I did the one time I played it
