To the best of my knowledge, the speed of mashing does matter a bit, but the game also keeps you at a steady pace. Like, at first you can only mash slowly, but as you hit him more (indicated by flashes and dialogue boxes), you can go gradually faster. To save the imp, you must salt and bury the body first!

🤣

These are all valid, and definitely ways to save some time. Some of them are truly just personal routing decisions that feel more natural in the flow of the castle. The cold room, for instance, always feel so much better to me going to get all items, then coming back. It may save time to do it all in one trip, for me it's simply muscle memory and, having picked up everything in the rooms initially, the pages don't change when I pick up the spirit artifacts. I can try other commands on the vase, that's actually a great idea! Never thought to do that. Mushroom I just pick up at the start because, again, muscle memory and a quicker transition through the door. Other way may save a few frames of time, at the cost of page transitions (which i try to do through movement transitions, to save time). That one *may* be the most negligible, but worth looking in to! Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching!

​@@dnk_cafeWow, didn't realize that you had to plan your moves to get an advantageous item order. Interesting.

Yeah, right from the very beginning of the game, really. In this ending, you'll see very late, I use the Gold Dagger on the Sack of Flour in the castle kitchen to get the empty sack so I can carry the Staff. This entire sequence is available much earlier in the game, but doing it too early means I have to flip through several pages to find the right item, then have to actually scan through the items to find the right one. Doing it late, I have a much better sense of where the item is in my inventory.

@@dnk_cafe It sure isn't all about quickly mashing buttons, but so much more in terms of thought process. Don't forget the bag, I remember you mumbling several times. :) Oh yeah, do you know if that's a glitch. Within Shadowgate in that slippery cavern passage that leads to the dried lake, when I cast the ghost spell to make those 12 memory items visible, I am able to make a blue vial appear, but am unable to look at it or take it. The staff in the coffin was no problem for me to grab. I did that before getting the official call to collect those 12 items. So it may have been a glitch as you're not supposed to use that spell at that time?

hmm, that does seem like a glitch, from what you're describing. Normally, those blue (what I call) Spectral Memories only appear after you get the scroll with the riddle about them. I haven't come across that, myself, but I can take a look. To the best of my knowledge, other than little things like that, there are no exploitable glitches, in terms of things we can use to speedrun. Pity! 😂

Since Sept 19!

Shadowgate 64 is... special. I have a soft spot for it, but I don't blame you, at all. This new Shadowgate is *fantastic.* Well worth the time and money investment

AstaW Good call

@@dnk_cafe next time please add timestamps when run starts...

@@damperoar 🫣

@@dnk_cafe hahaha! would never have found it. much appreciated

Highly recommend! It's a good run, a bit of RNG to keep things spicy. I still think routing could be better, I gotta do a Ghouls and find all the hidden gem triggers

There's literally a password load system, lol

@@dnk_cafe I can’t agree with you, once you turn on the game it’s game start option and that it.

Touch grass... there is no such thing as a "cursed game" outside of the fantasy land you're livin' in.

There is a bit of a bug with the jump that... let's just say chaining jumps in SD is easier. But I LOVE this game. Great homebrew from CutterCross

That's a healthy number! I'll have to shoot for that

Thank you! It was such a fun run to learn, definitely a hidden gem on the NES

Honestly, people love megaman... but this is so smooth. Yeah you beat it without any extra heart containers, but it feels so good to get them and has a lot of options for players.

I wish I was as good as a TAS

Hahahaha, the backtracking is... a tad annoying. But I get lost in the charm!

This is a new WR, in fact

What I usually do is kind of rock my thumb back and forth between the jump and fire, very quickly. This allows you to fire multiple shots while in the air. Verbally, it's difficult to truly say *how* to do it, but if you do that, you should be able to rapid fire. Good luck with the runs! 💪🏻

If you listen veeeeeeeeeeeeeery carefully... you can hear my soul leave my body

Ask away, child of man! I shall spill my wisdom upon thee

Was this speedrun done through retroarch? 🙊

@@Peat_Ear Not a retroarch in sight, my child

oh 💪😎👍@@dnk_cafe

The whole run is VERY tight and tank-y now. It's insane 😅

Thank you!!! 🫡

Lmaooooooooo!!! Did you hear the beeeeeeeeeg gasp in Octopillion's dungeon when I got the B on the feet? I started to lose control at that moment 😅

@dnk_cafe lols I did. I have saved SO many runs getting a B on the gray mudman during that dungeon

It's honestly a lot better than I anticipated!

@dnk_cafe it looks pretty grindy but I'll give it a try !soon

You're kicking my ass, my dude! I love the competition. We always seem to push games to their limits
