Omg I haven't even touched the C sides, mostly bc I don't think I ever did the B side for chapter 8, beating chapter 9 ONCE was so painful already that I was tapped out by that point lol
@0XBlondie96X0 You better than me cause I used assist mode on 5 of the C sides.....I completed all the B sides without it except for 7b for the last 3 flags cause I was stuck on them for nearly 2 hours I still haven't finished chapter 9 yet because I'm burnt out on the game rn😭
@@Duolissyou got this man it takes time. You can’t climb a mountain in one day lol. Taking breaks is honestly a really good thing for this game as it is a rage bait play former at the end me of the day. But hey once you beat those levels let me know :D
@@Aceofhearts32 Yeah thanks, man. I'll follow your advice and tell you when I beat it. I completely underestimated this game thinking I could breeze thorogh it all in a week then 7B completely stopped me in my tracks and I got humbled lol
"This is an incredibly tough technique with a ton of nuance the game doesn't teach you" No it's not. It literally teaches you how to do. It's not telling you to hold grab and if you just had not held grab for no reason at all it would have worked... >< I hate that he blames the game for his own failures.
2:01:20 That is precisely what happened. You going into spikes kills you. Spikes moving into you does not. Speedrunners and TAS use this fact a lot to do 'spike jumps'. So the platformed moved into you and Madeline touched the ground, giving your dash back. Also, watch a speedrun if you wanna be blown away XD
@@clantis247 Isn't there just a gap between the hitbox and the edge of the platform? Spinor hitboxes are way smaller than the model, and I'm quite certain you can just stand on corners like this, moving block or not.
@@alansmithee419no, theres a 2 tile horizontal bar on them. i realize i can just like Open the tas tools and show whats happening here in-game so ua-cam.com/video/1LXnKjj-pkk/v-deo.html
@@alansmithee419 i am having severe technical difficulties attempting to have information i have placed here be retained or added to the discussion and i am saying so with abnormal lingual structure in an attempt to disorient what i believe is preventing said information from being retained. there is a 2 tile horizontal bar on the spinners hitbox to prevent you from standing there. the discussions original concern is that: the crystal spikes hitbox lag behind a frame when their position is influenced by another object as the influence on the spikes position happens after the game checks for collision with hazards within a frames order of operations.
7:35 That moment gets me every time. “Those who perished on the climb.” Climbing the mountain is a metaphor for improving your mental health. For doing the hard work of getting better. But not everyone makes it. Some perish on the climb.
I have arthritis in one of my wrists. I played about half this game with accessibility settings turned on. I could not get further, it was causing me so much pain. Good luck!
Aw man, that got to (okay I was about to say "hurt" but considering you were in pain that would have been obvious)... Well at least you now know how it ended.
Chapter 8 is incredibly important story wise imo. While chapter 1-7 set up the idea of being completely yourself including the bad, chapter 8 has you returning but this time Madeline is looking at where they truly started, depressed, empty, hollow just like the core. I know from experience once you've climbed that mountain and look back you'll see how deep your originally were. And to me chapter 9 is about not falling back down after the death of someone who helped pull you out. Celestes story is genuinely so good.
Also some games you won't 100% but its funny to imagine: Deep rock galactica Binding of Isaac(this is one I've personally completed.) FNV And I'm gonna give a list of terraria mods that make the game 'fun' to 100%
Calamity, calamity Fargo's souls, pets overhaul, pets overhaul calamity, Fargo's souls, Fargo's mutants, and I believe theres a mod that bridges Calamity and Thorium.

@@genericname2747you hate it beacuae youre bad at the game i hate it beacuse i am good at the game and i love the game and it was my last experiencenwith celeste and now im never getting back the first experience of beating it for the first time ever we are not the same
this game always makes me sad but happy. knowing that it's an allegory for being trans, the monument at the end of forsaken city hits terribly hard. i know people who've perished before the summit, hell, I almost have. I can't tell if I'm at the summit even with being 2yrs on HRT. Even if I'm not, I'm not checking out any time soon.
I feel like I've just been spoiled cause I completely missed the metaphor, currently have 18X berries (Golden are haaaard !) and I think I would have had the reveal by seeing "HRT" had I unlocked it before seeing that comment xD
So the core is about self reflection, that's the reason there isn't much dialogue, switching between fire and ice is about keeping balance in Madeline's mind, using only fire or ice won't get you to the end, but when you use both as when Madline and Badeline cooperate in the summit you can do anything. Also the final room matches her description of depression earlier in the game. >I'm at the bottom of the ocean. >I can't see anything in any direction. >It's claustrophobic, yet I feel exposed. >I don't know. >I'm just floating in this abyss, swimming in a random direction. >Hoping that I find something. Appart from that, in gameplay the core is just a hard level and a gate to harder levels just for the more exprienced players and completionist, as originally the idea for fareweel was to only be unlocked after completing all c-sides as it was meant to only be a pack of difficult rooms before Maddy figured out a story for the chapter and added more rooms (that's why in the game files Farewell is referred as LostLevels).
Same! I'm working my way to 116% so I can't help but chuckle when he's struggling with 1A strawberries and being like "oh boy he has no idea about comb room"
i'm 2:15:00 into the video and holy. your determination is legitimately commendable i have never spent 19 hours on any single room/objective in celeste. at least, not yet. haha hardest thing i've done in celeste is 1B golden which i actually ragequit/took a break from after a week or two of trying LMAO or maybe 5A golden which took 6.5hrs other rambles: - it was really entertaining to watch you lose your mind - 44:44 someone off-screen is just chucking giant snowballs at you idk lmao - i loved 8A despite the lack of story but hated 8B with a passion. 1:51:00 apology accepted - doing each B-side right after the A-side is interesting but i see the game logic you used. i went back after the a-sides to do all the b-sides and the difficulty progression felt a lot more natural - if you feel like it, replay 1A. you can really just feel how much you've improved - there are mods for pc that have maps that range from easier than 1A to difficult beyond comprehension. but only if you're interested ok enough rambling seriously, 19 hours is dedication. congrats on 100%ing the game!!
For the glitch that happened at 2:01:02 its a bit weird. The way the moving blocks works is that any spikes ontop of it are actually 1 frams behind because they are different entities. So Seanie managed to land for that small time period along with hopping off. I know people probably wont see it but just in case i hope this helps
It's not engagement farming, the guy played one of the hardest 2D platformers for hours and occasionally missed details and misspoke. Only someone cynical beyond reason would call that Engagement Farming.
The fact that Seanie doesn’t know what regression is makes me both so happy that he’s never had to learn what it is and slightly sad that he didn’t understand why someone who can move forward and accept themselves can regress back to harmful behaviours when major stressors happen in their lives. Good speed Seanie.
Great to see your celeste journey - this was one of the first platformers that I played in quite a while and it's a really powerful experience! If you're interested in more celeste, I think you'd love the Strawberry Jam collab, a pack of 111 custom levels for Celeste that expands the mechanics of the base game and introduces a whole bunch of new stuff (as well as a 9-hour soundtrack of entirely new music written for the mod!)
Celeste has maintained its position as my favorite game of all time, in front of TUNIC (which is itself an INCREDIBLE experience by the way, and I would hate to spoil it for anyone). Ever since I beat every C-Side and got to experience the pain and suffering that is Farewell, the game, and it's overall message, stayed with me. That message after you beat the prologue stuck with me especially. "You can do this." And.. I did it. I feel like Celeste to me is the embodiment of that message as a whole. You CAN do this. It may take weeks, and several thousand deaths, but you CAN do this. Like a lot of things, like projects you have planned, or even mental health, it may take a lot of time, a lot of commitment, and you may feel like it won't pay off, but eventually, it will. You can't give up, you have to keep going. Celeste is an 11/10, and, for once, that is the only thing I truly believe deserves an honest and true 11/10.
Oh. My. GOD. Oh my god!!! It's Celeste!!! I found out about this game through Therm about 2 years ago and have been on my own Celeste journey ever since, and holy smokes is it fun watch someone (especially Seanie) experiencing it for the first time. I had never ever played a platformer before, so my first time playing I had almost every assist on and still had over a hundred deaths. These days I have 18/26 golden strawberries and am in the advanced lobby of Strawberry Jam, Celeste's biggest mod. Seeing videos like these make me remember just how far I've come- past the horrors of 4B and comb room. This game is NOT easy, outstanding job for getting 100% Seanie!! Outstanding job to everyone who's ever even opened the game, because that means you tried, and that's what matters. And remember, be proud of your death count! The more you die, the more you're learning. Keep going!
@@Alex_192. HRT unlocks after beating chapter 9 and collecting 190 berries (which means you have to get at least 14 golden berries as well). Only the most skillful Celeste players finish HRT.
@@Alex_192. HRT is Hormone Replacement Therapy, which is used by many (but not all) transgender people to help treat gender dysphoria. Maddy Thorson (the lead of this game) is a trans woman and this game was very important to her realizing that. To quote from her blog post *Is Madeline Canonically Trans?*, "During Celeste’s development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans. During the Farewell DLC’s development, I began to form a hunch. Post-development, I now know that we both are." Her full blog post is excellent and I recommend reading it! Celeste as a game has struck a chord with all gamers due to being incredible, but it has struck an extra chord with transgender gamers as a major piece of representation, and you can find people all over the internet sharing their stories of how this game helped them come to terms with who they are (whether from a gender perspective or some other). EDIT: worth noting that HRT is not solely used by transgender people, and is used by all sorts of people whose bodies no longer produce certain hormones in the necessary/desired quantity. Commonly this is people with menopause, men who take supplemental testosterone (as opposed to testosterone [boosting] supplements), etc.
@@AlexanderRealebassoon-j5r damn. Guess I’ll have to cancel my appointment. I only have 185. Please note that moon berry counts towards the total as well though.
Your videos are genuinely such a pleasure to watch. Your commentary is engaging and genuinely hilarious. “I was doing this thing called LYING” gave me a good laugh!! And it’s so clear that an incredible amount of time and effort goes into these vids. New sub here, thank you!
As an avid celeste player myself, I applaud your persistence and effort, this was a fun video to watch. Oh, also, fun fact, in celeste 64 (a small project made by the devs for the anniversary of celeste) we learn that Madeline is now dating Theo's sister
1:41:50 I think the best way of describing how difficult wall bouncing is it to describe it button by button. 1. Move your joystick from strait up into a sort of up-left diagonal direction to move closer to the wall 2. Move the joystick to strait up 3. Dash upwards 4. Press "A" to perform the bounce 5. Move the joystick from strait up to the direction you would like to go All of this, in about 1/2 of a second. List of everything that can go wrong: 1. When adjusting your angle for a precise dash upwards, it is very common to dash diagonally instead, especially if you are dropping underneath the block instead of just jumping up from solid ground 2. It is also very common to hit your head underneath whatever you are attempting to wall bounce off of 3. When attempting to move towards the block, you may cling to the block, even if you aren't holding the grab button 4. You are not fast or precise enough with adjusting your joystick failing to bounce and instead falling to your death 5. If you successfully pull off a wall bounce, it is very common to still not gain enough height to make whatever jump you need to do. This is because sometimes the game wants to wait about 10 frames before pressing "A" so that you're bounce starts higher up the wall 6. Even still, you may not gain enough jump height if you aren't holding the "A" button rather than just pressing it. A similar phenomenon gave me hell with the pufferfish, as I didn't realize you could hold the jump button after hitting one to gain additional jump height. The game expects you to have all of this information down over the course of 3 rooms, where all of this information is REQUIRED to successfully wall-bounce off of two 1 tile blocks, which is a room that wants complete mastery over the mechanic, which from then on the game seems to just expect you to have fully incorporated into your movement as a default ability into the 9th chapter.
2:01:11 the crystals in this room are 1 pixel lower than they should be, making your hitbox able to interact with the edge of it to replenish your dash. 2:40:00 when you crouch on the ground while holding something you’ll drop it
I really hope no one is turned away from playing Celeste after watching this video from thinking it's too difficult or whatever. Yes, it is a challenging game that could be accurately described as a precision platformer, but it is by no means pixel or frame perfect ever. Seanie heavily exaggerates in the intro when he says that. Timings for most inputs are actually quite generous (letting you jump for a few frames after leaving the ground or change dash direction for a few frames after the initial input, for example). It really just takes practice to get comfortable with the controls and build muscle memory. Once you do, the movement really just flows. The movement and level design are both phenomenally well designed in my opinion. It may be difficult, but it is well designed difficulty. The difficulty curve is also a lot better that in appears if you just start with the A sides and leave the B sides for later. Chapter 3 is a bit of a difficulty spike, but otherwise the difficulty curve is really quite reasonable. After 7A, only do the higher difficulty chapters if you genuinely want to. If you don't there's really no shame in stopping at the summit.
THIS. while the difficulty is something key to the game, it always gives you time to build up to it. Celeste may be difficult, but its never 0 to 100 without a break.
Also leaving this here for those willing to attempt the golden strawberries. They are a no death run of each stage, meaning if you grab it and die right before the end, whole stage all over again. There is a second golden strawberry however on 1-A. You gotta beat the stage dashless. Good luck!
I… I knew about everything else in this game. I did not know 1-a had a dashless golden strawberry. Do you need to neutral jump off of walls or can you beat it without it? (Speedrunning technique that allows you to climb walls without needing stamina.)
Yep, the last room before you get to the memorial requires neutral jumps to get up to the top. I don’t even know how many times I practiced it to get up there the first time.
Thank you for reminding me that I need to finish Farewell so I can 100% my save file. But seriously, congrats on completing Celeste. Despite the pain I'm glad you had fun.
I love it so much how over the video it went from “bad-elyn” to “battle-lyn”. I might be crazy but I swear I started hearing the difference when you realized that she was just scared and not evil. Just a kid trying to “battle” through her demons. Idk I just loved the nickname you gave her.
I think you would have enjoyed some of the B sides a lot more if you did them after chapter 7 or maybe even after core, the progression of difficulty is much smoother and going back the old themes after a while is so refreshing.
56:11 this dialogue kind of shook me the first time since I'm a girl and my nickname IRL is Alex and people use it more often than my real name which I don't mind. Also don't know if other people mentioned this but the music inside the inner temple can be reversed. If you do so you can hear a voice talking about feeling trapped in their own body. IIRC it's the composer Lena Raine (yes the same that made pigstep) talking about her gender dysphoria.

"then I proceeded to hold it down for the rest of the play through" yeah, I know that one, I learned to not do that after 50 hours after I had a cramped pinky after each playing session
1:50:57 I think it was supposed to remind Madeline of her depression. When Theo asks her what it was like, she said that it felt like she was underwater, claustrophobic, and she felt like could go in any direction but not get anywhere.
I only died 9000 times when 100%ing celeste so I was really surprised when I saw 30000 deaths on the thumbnail. Then I realized that Seanie for someone reason was beating b sides right after a sides. I forgot about them and came back when I had to collect hearts for chapter 8. They were mostly a breeze to me then
Perhaps you're also just good at this game. I did chapter 9 in 11h and 4k deaths and felt like I was doing very well, most people I know had more trouble than that on their discovery run, and that's still 16k total with 2k on 7C (4h) and ~1k on most difficult chapters
Man, I died around 1k times only on 1A. 2.5k on 3A (almost quitted the game during that ride). Chapter 8 was another hell. So 45k deaths in total, completed everything except the moon berry. Great game but you need to have insane muscle memory to beat it (and endless patience)
@daviddelisse9712 From what I've heard it wasn't initially planned that way but a lot of trans people resonated with the story and the creator came out as trans sometime after the game was released so she decided that Madeline being trans was canon and put a little nod to it in the DLC ending
Please take a massive break for a while lmao. Watching this beast of a video all the way through makes me shocked that one could put themselves through this. Incredible video though! If you ever need a recommendation again when you pick this series back up maybe try dredge, maybe it’s easier!
Bro I genuinely love your videos Idk what it is but watching you 100% so many different games that many of which I play myself is such a fun time I found the cookie clicker one very entertaining Keep up this amazing work Seanie
I loved 90%ing this game (havent gotten gold berries or moon berry). I feel like the pressure of making a video probably muddied the fun for you. I recommend playing through again at your own pace. I remember i played through the base game (just A sides) over the course of about a week. I then took a few years break before going ahead and getting all the collectables, B/C sides, and then doing core. A few months later i did farewell and had a good (but difficult) time. I feel like because i spaced out the hardest parts of the game I enjoyed them more. Oh also, 100% the strawberry jam fanmade DLC at some point please. Some of the best levels are in there! And you forgot the chapter 1 winged strawberry
Something good to note is that the Goldens don’t count towards 100%. 202 berries is a separate thing, that I don’t suggest anyone go through - someone going for Farewell golden
@@taiyo-alt1360it says 2021 cuz thats when it was originally scheduled to come out and it kept getting delayed but they never updated the file names lol
Watching this whilst playing modded Celeste. Always nice to see how people struggle when playing this game to remember that yes, the base game is indeed hard.
At 2:40:20 the reason why madaline drops the jelly is because you hold down on the controller while being on the ground. Its used to allow you to let go of a jelly without giving it any horizontal movement, for instance if you need to use upwind to hit a switch you could position yourself below the switch and hold down to let it float up to it. So not a glitch just a game mechanic that isn't taught explicitly.
2:01:10 as far as I know, when Madeline is being pushed downward into spikes (like by wind) or spikes are being pushed up into her (like by dash block), Madeline can touch the platform under the spikes for a few frames. I could be wrong, but that’s my guess for what happened here
14:50 "This is a metaphor for something, I don't know what it is yet..." Hmm, mini-game with myself: guessing when SD figures it out. I mean, I never played a precision platformer in my life, but even I know the story behind this. I mean, just look at the game logo... So... 1h48m?

9:40 I’m assuming you know what a b side is in real life, but since some of the audience may be younger, a B-Side is typically the opposite side of a cd or vinyl which would contain extra songs, an example is yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam if you’re aware of that band, I believe it was the b-side for Jeremy but I can’t quite remember
Gg 👍 It is one of the hardest video game challenge. I did 100% (with 1A dashless and the Moon Berry) twice it is one of my personnel favorite game ever.
1A Golden Winged berry is amazing, basically a meta berry. Feels like a joke but you can actually do it "abusing" some weird mechanics (spike jumps) XD
@@jimmyh2137 I got the Golden Winged Berry after about 2 hours as a warmup to Farewell, and it felt really good to look back and see how far I progressed.
Limits are meant to be broken. You'll find that if you push hard enough, reality might bend just a bit, and a dream could become a little closer to a reality. Well done. You did it. Sure, you didn't get the Goldens, but those are just a bonus challenge. I've spent even longer pushing through this game's hardest challenges than you did, and we've both got so much better at the game because of it. If you can get the Goldens, it's worth the effort, but I'm still having trouble with them. I'll keep updating the Celeste discord with my progress, though. Good luck with whatever you tackle next!
Watched the whole thing. This video represents the kind of real effort, both in the gameplay and the video production, that youtube's algo should reward greatly.
i'm so glad you actually did this. this game is beautiful, but it's also pain and suffering >:3 (it's also good to know you also instinctively held grab constantly, makes me feel less crazy)
I also had the habit of holding the climb button my entire playthrough. And because of this habit you could literally see “zr” on my finger because the joy cons have an indent for the trigger labels
2:01:13 not a Celeste pro but a speedrun watcher; Celeste is extra generous with hazards that move into you so you toe touching it might be the reason . I don’t feel comfortable explaing more
whenever a spike is moving it does not kill you if IT goes into YOU (it does if YOU go into IT) so you can touch the platform for a split second (im pretty sure if you stay longer itll count as your character standing on the block which means the spike acts like normal rather than how it does while moving into you.) theres also if you move towards where the spikes are pointing you also dont get hit (like that one room in chapter 3 where its used in speedruns).
@@holdenstrack9349 I don’t like saying stuff I’m not 95% sure is accurate and I know the thing I mentioned is accurate but I wasn’t sure about it applying to this scenario and no other comments explained it so i thought; screw it, I can either mention the scenario and be right about it or mention the scenario, be wrong about it, and have someone else explain it so I can get an answer.
2:01:43 fun fact! that room has actually been *nerfed* since release. I believe it was the only one that was nerfed. pre-nerf, IMO it was worse than 7C last screen. it was absolutely brutal. I goldened pre-nerf 5C out of spite, I have a total of almost 10k deaths on that level. one thing I remember quite clearly is that the spring at 2:02:28 just... wasn't there. so if you messed up that ultra precise bubble, there was no safety net. other than that I believe the first section was changed around to be much easier.
YOOOOOOO HE DID IT ACTUALLY I commented on his Hollow Knight Video about recommending this, and I don’t regret it a single bit, hearing you both rant and love this game.
If you want more of Celeste I recommend playing the mod strawberry jam it’s extremely good and it’s about 2.5 times bigger than Celeste The start is pretty easy but the end is literally the hardest thing in gaming
27:49 so mountain celeste is meant to be quite a climb, and in the old days that hotel was the last civilized stop before the real climb began, theres a literal memorial for all who perish in the clim, mountain celeste is, or at least was a big spot for mountain climbers, and it was madelne that made the mess her problem.
this is so fun to watch after 100% this game at least 3 times now. I actually know what I'm doing and can do all of the "hard rooms" in just a couple minutes most of the time, I still haven't collected all goldens but ya. I love this game so much
I'm so glad you finally played Celeste! This is one of my favorite indie games ever and watching you suffer through it is fun. Also it's so funny when you say things like "this is the worst screen in the game" and I just think of 7c 8c or Farewell.
More than 800 deaths on 1c is crazy,i really admire your dedication to finish the game,i have never seen someone with this much Determination,damn.the video is fun to watch too,i cant believe i have watched 2 hours straight. Grandmaster maps when?
1:39:51 Yea, honestly impressive you got so far into 7B before realizing how the clouds work! Flag 13 is quite hard even when you understand the mechanic, without that it must have been torture 😅

as someone who has gotten almost all of the golden strawberries (all but the one in farewell). i respect the fact that you didn't get them. i spent to much time to get most of them. I am trying to get the one in farewell.
I would personally recommend trying some modded content before trying farewell golden. Seeing the same screens over and over will 100% make you go insane.
@@TheLostOnes12 you can search how to download them. I myself am not too deep into them so but there are a lot of useful tutorials online. I would recommend something like the strawberry jam colab if you want to see what modding can offer.
So at 2:00:59 Basically you landed on the very edge of the block and the hitbox of the crystal didn't extend to that corner, you can also do whats called a 'spike jump' where you jump so precisely that you jump on the spike and regain your dash.
You called me out with that joke about using the audio as a podcast 😭😭😭 thank you for the background noise and video content though, I thoroughly enjoyed your suffering
Congrats on the 100% Celeste! As an experienced Celeste player, I can clarify a few things that you get confused by: At 2:01:00, you refilled your dash on one of the moving dash blocks. When a hazard moves (like spikes on moving platforms or dust bunnies from chapter 3), their hitbox lags behind by a frame, which can occasionally expose the corner of the block and let you stand there for a single frame. By walking off the corner on the very next frame, the game never realizes you should have died. This is due to the order the game calculates things each frame: Madeline moves, then the game checks if you hit hazards, then the hazards move. The same can occur in wind. You said that you cannot do a wallbounce while holding dash. This is false, but maybe your controller wasn't reading the jump input when the dash and climb buttons were pressed. This is more often an issue on keyboard, but can happen on controller. Also, you can wallbounce while grabbing, the jump timing is just more precise, which is why it's recommended to not grab. At 2:39:50, you said that a "weird glitch" made you drop the jellyfish. It's not a glitch, just a normal game mechanic you hadn't noticed: when you press down on solid ground, you crouch, and you cannot hold objects while crouched. Thus, when you held down to descend in the wind, you ended up landing on the ground while holding down, and therefore crouched, and therefore dropped the jellyfish. 100% intended mechanic, just one that isn't explained outright. Also, extended hypers and wavedashes are the same thing, the game just explains wavedashes somewhat poorly. Getting a proper wavedash is based on the amount of time between your dash and jump, just like an extended hyper. However, the game tries to make it more intuitive by telling you to buffer your jump, thus making it dependent on the height where you start the dash. If you do a wavedash but jump at the same time as you would with an extended hyper, you'll get the jump you want, even if you hit the ground at a weird time.
imo using extended hypers on farewell is totally understandable and i can only assume exok wasnt aware of them during development bc theyre a much easier mid point than wave dashes. the wall bounce thing though; literal skill issue, theyre so satisfying and fun to pull off, L plus ratio plus no golden strawberries 💯🔥
IMO the aerial dash is a good visual cue to get it if you have good reflexes, but it's basically just a method to use a buffered jump to ensure the timing. Once I realized each block in that triple falling block room is effectively lined up so that the perfect height is pretty much your max height after each jump and some extra pixels of forgiveness, they got really easy to chain any time chaining's designed to be required. But it does hinge on figuring that out and having the reaction skill. I can totally see a fresh player have a much easier time just doing extended hypers or reverse hypers, as they don't have to go through labbing things out and developing an eye for it.
exok was 100% aware of extended hyper dashes during development. I think the reason why they were never explained is because wavedashes are more versatile; extended hyper dashes require quite a bit more ground space, which creates extra limitations on the game design element. The reason they don't just teach both is because explaining two similar-but-different techniques to the player could be overwhelming.
The true reason they teach you wave dashing instead of extended hypers is because, funny enough, wave dashing makes it easier for you to get your dash back (there's a 2x bigger window for you to jump and get the momentum + dash). Plus most of the levels were designed with wave dashing in mind. Now I can't back up this info, but I do remember hearing about it somewhere. Apparently, wave dashing was hard-coded into the game, while hypers and ultras were a byproduct of that code. So, in a scale, wave dashing is the most realible code-wise, then comes hypers, then ultras, which are basically pixel-perfect to execute, and even then have a chance to fail. Also yes they knew about hypers even before the speedrunning comunity started using them, they even teach you them at the end of 8C
@@Sweetaru1 They teach flat hypers in 8c. OP means getting one's dash back, a variation you're not expected to do then, as they're across single tile blocks, iirc.
2:03:05 "You may remember way back at the beginning of the video when I told you 3 lunch breaks ago." Tell me why it has been exactly 3 intervals of me watching this video. 1. Lunch break 2. Falling asleep 3. Wake up finally finishing the video
1:41:30 It's actually a very easy mechanic. All it matters for wall jumps is that you jump WHILE you're dashing (up). You have the space of the dash to jump but once the dash is finished you can't wall jump. 2:01 there is one pixel of "ground" next to the spike that you slipped on restoring your dash.
Celeste is one of my favorite games of all time. It’s the only game so far that has truly connected with me. I’m glad you got to experience this game. Talent alone cannot get you through this game. As someone who most people would consider talented at videogames, that just wast enough for me to get through this. It takes something much greater than that. It take determination and force of will. The ability to keep going and pick yourself back up. Because no matter how bad you start off being, you can become amazing at something if you just put in the time and effort to truly get better. This game is the first game I have encountered that truly challenged me, it’s also the first to hook me into its story, I’ve never been very interested in the stories of the videogames I’m playing, but think game truly clicked with me. I still am yet to beat farewell, but I’ve kept trying on and off to do it. One day I’ll finish it.
So remember all the pain you went through. The madness of chapter 3, the anger at the b sides, the daunting c sides, and the nightmare that is farewell. Yeah now imagine doing it on a CHROMEBOOK WITH LAG SPIKES
Collision of spikes in Celeste, specifically the spinners or circle spike clusters can be really weird. So you probably just graze the very edge of the moving platform and didn’t touch the spinner fully.

I hate that he blames the game for his own failures.
Madeline: "Depression makes me feel like I'm at the bottom of the ocean"
Seanie: "Farewell sure has a lot of aquatic themed obstacles in it, huh?"
Oh i didnt get that before, thats a really nice detail.
I'm surprised I never realized that's why it was aquatic themed. that makes a lot of sense.
Its also because the closest thing to space on earth is water.
2:01:20 That is precisely what happened. You going into spikes kills you. Spikes moving into you does not. Speedrunners and TAS use this fact a lot to do 'spike jumps'. So the platformed moved into you and Madeline touched the ground, giving your dash back. Also, watch a speedrun if you wanna be blown away XD
TAS speed runs are wild
Spinners arent spikes brother
@@clantis247
Isn't there just a gap between the hitbox and the edge of the platform? Spinor hitboxes are way smaller than the model, and I'm quite certain you can just stand on corners like this, moving block or not.

there is a 2 tile horizontal bar on the spinners hitbox to prevent you from standing there.
the discussions original concern is that: the crystal spikes hitbox lag behind a frame when their position is influenced by another object as the influence on the spikes position happens after the game checks for collision with hazards within a frames order of operations.
7:35 That moment gets me every time. “Those who perished on the climb.”
Climbing the mountain is a metaphor for improving your mental health. For doing the hard work of getting better. But not everyone makes it. Some perish on the climb.

did you try playing with one hand? i know someone who plays like that and theyre really good
How much is “half the game”? Which chapter?
Chapter 8 is incredibly important story wise imo.
While chapter 1-7 set up the idea of being completely yourself including the bad, chapter 8 has you returning but this time Madeline is looking at where they truly started, depressed, empty, hollow just like the core.
I know from experience once you've climbed that mountain and look back you'll see how deep your originally were.
And to me chapter 9 is about not falling back down after the death of someone who helped pull you out.
Celestes story is genuinely so good.
Also some games you won't 100% but its funny to imagine:

i love how EVEN at the first 10 minutes he goes from "persisted" to "perished"
this game always makes me sad but happy. knowing that it's an allegory for being trans, the monument at the end of forsaken city hits terribly hard. i know people who've perished before the summit, hell, I almost have. I can't tell if I'm at the summit even with being 2yrs on HRT. Even if I'm not, I'm not checking out any time soon.
I feel like I've just been spoiled cause I completely missed the metaphor, currently have 18X berries (Golden are haaaard !) and I think I would have had the reveal by seeing "HRT" had I unlocked it before seeing that comment xD
Whether you’re still climbing or you’ve reached your summit, you’re not climbing alone ❤
You are never truly done climbing. Keep going, don’t lose yourself. For you, your family and your friends
So the core is about self reflection, that's the reason there isn't much dialogue, switching between fire and ice is about keeping balance in Madeline's mind, using only fire or ice won't get you to the end, but when you use both as when Madline and Badeline cooperate in the summit you can do anything.
Also the final room matches her description of depression earlier in the game.
>I'm at the bottom of the ocean.
>I can't see anything in any direction.
>It's claustrophobic, yet I feel exposed.
>I don't know.
>I'm just floating in this abyss, swimming in a random direction.
>Hoping that I find something.
Appart from that, in gameplay the core is just a hard level and a gate to harder levels just for the more exprienced players and completionist, as originally the idea for fareweel was to only be unlocked after completing all c-sides as it was meant to only be a pack of difficult rooms before Maddy figured out a story for the chapter and added more rooms (that's why in the game files Farewell is referred as LostLevels).
Chapter 9 basically is an entire sequel to the main game, like Lost Levels is a sequel to SMB1. So, grats on 100%ing 2 games, basically. :^3

- it was really entertaining to watch you lose your mind
- 44:44 someone off-screen is just chucking giant snowballs at you idk lmao
- i loved 8A despite the lack of story but hated 8B with a passion. 1:51:00 apology accepted
- doing each B-side right after the A-side is interesting but i see the game logic you used. i went back after the a-sides to do all the b-sides and the difficulty progression felt a lot more natural
- if you feel like it, replay 1A. you can really just feel how much you've improved
- there are mods for pc that have maps that range from easier than 1A to difficult beyond comprehension. but only if you're interested
ok enough rambling
seriously, 19 hours is dedication. congrats on 100%ing the game!!
For the glitch that happened at 2:01:02 its a bit weird. The way the moving blocks works is that any spikes ontop of it are actually 1 frams behind because they are different entities. So Seanie managed to land for that small time period along with hopping off. I know people probably wont see it but just in case i hope this helps
It's crazy how you can put out so many high quality videos in such a short amount of time, I know how hard it can be and i have huge respect for you!

@@crunchylettuce5446 Then that means @qwest9227 is.
The fact that Seanie doesn’t know what regression is makes me both so happy that he’s never had to learn what it is and slightly sad that he didn’t understand why someone who can move forward and accept themselves can regress back to harmful behaviours when major stressors happen in their lives. Good speed Seanie.
Yeah...
Great to see your celeste journey - this was one of the first platformers that I played in quite a while and it's a really powerful experience! If you're interested in more celeste, I think you'd love the Strawberry Jam collab, a pack of 111 custom levels for Celeste that expands the mechanics of the base game and introduces a whole bunch of new stuff (as well as a 9-hour soundtrack of entirely new music written for the mod!)
Celeste has maintained its position as my favorite game of all time, in front of TUNIC (which is itself an INCREDIBLE experience by the way, and I would hate to spoil it for anyone).
Ever since I beat every C-Side and got to experience the pain and suffering that is Farewell, the game, and it's overall message, stayed with me.
That message after you beat the prologue stuck with me especially.
"You can do this."
And.. I did it. I feel like Celeste to me is the embodiment of that message as a whole. You CAN do this. It may take weeks, and several thousand deaths, but you CAN do this. Like a lot of things, like projects you have planned, or even mental health, it may take a lot of time, a lot of commitment, and you may feel like it won't pay off, but eventually, it will. You can't give up, you have to keep going.
Celeste is an 11/10, and, for once, that is the only thing I truly believe deserves an honest and true 11/10.
You know it’s gonna be a wild ride when the video is ~3 hours long…
Oh crap, I didnt realize that, Uh oh...
DIRK???
I just saw the timer and oh boy this is gonna be a trip
DIRK STRIDER??
how are you watching this 400 years from now dude
Oh. My. GOD. Oh my god!!! It's Celeste!!! I found out about this game through Therm about 2 years ago and have been on my own Celeste journey ever since, and holy smokes is it fun watch someone (especially Seanie) experiencing it for the first time. I had never ever played a platformer before, so my first time playing I had almost every assist on and still had over a hundred deaths. These days I have 18/26 golden strawberries and am in the advanced lobby of Strawberry Jam, Celeste's biggest mod. Seeing videos like these make me remember just how far I've come- past the horrors of 4B and comb room. This game is NOT easy, outstanding job for getting 100% Seanie!! Outstanding job to everyone who's ever even opened the game, because that means you tried, and that's what matters.
And remember, be proud of your death count! The more you die, the more you're learning. Keep going!

In seriousness, great job, this is your masterpiece.
What is HRT? The only things I haven’t done in Celeste so far are 6 of the B-sides (including 8B), all C-sides by extension, 9, and whatever HRT is.
@@Alex_192. HRT unlocks after beating chapter 9 and collecting 190 berries (which means you have to get at least 14 golden berries as well). Only the most skillful Celeste players finish HRT.
@@Alex_192. HRT is Hormone Replacement Therapy, which is used by many (but not all) transgender people to help treat gender dysphoria. Maddy Thorson (the lead of this game) is a trans woman and this game was very important to her realizing that. To quote from her blog post *Is Madeline Canonically Trans?*, "During Celeste’s development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans. During the Farewell DLC’s development, I began to form a hunch. Post-development, I now know that we both are."
Her full blog post is excellent and I recommend reading it!
Celeste as a game has struck a chord with all gamers due to being incredible, but it has struck an extra chord with transgender gamers as a major piece of representation, and you can find people all over the internet sharing their stories of how this game helped them come to terms with who they are (whether from a gender perspective or some other).
EDIT: worth noting that HRT is not solely used by transgender people, and is used by all sorts of people whose bodies no longer produce certain hormones in the necessary/desired quantity. Commonly this is people with menopause, men who take supplemental testosterone (as opposed to testosterone [boosting] supplements), etc.

Exactly
Just like saying "irregardless"
@@henrymars6626there was a “translate to English” option on this reply and it just changed irregardless to regardless
out of this whole video, what I enjoyed the most was Seanie's very liberat definition of a "pixel".
1:41:50 I think the best way of describing how difficult wall bouncing is it to describe it button by button.
1. Move your joystick from strait up into a sort of up-left diagonal direction to move closer to the wall
2. Move the joystick to strait up
3. Dash upwards
4. Press "A" to perform the bounce
5. Move the joystick from strait up to the direction you would like to go
All of this, in about 1/2 of a second.
List of everything that can go wrong:
1. When adjusting your angle for a precise dash upwards, it is very common to dash diagonally instead, especially if you are dropping underneath the block instead of just jumping up from solid ground
2. It is also very common to hit your head underneath whatever you are attempting to wall bounce off of
3. When attempting to move towards the block, you may cling to the block, even if you aren't holding the grab button
4. You are not fast or precise enough with adjusting your joystick failing to bounce and instead falling to your death
5. If you successfully pull off a wall bounce, it is very common to still not gain enough height to make whatever jump you need to do. This is because sometimes the game wants to wait about 10 frames before pressing "A" so that you're bounce starts higher up the wall
6. Even still, you may not gain enough jump height if you aren't holding the "A" button rather than just pressing it. A similar phenomenon gave me hell with the pufferfish, as I didn't realize you could hold the jump button after hitting one to gain additional jump height.
The game expects you to have all of this information down over the course of 3 rooms, where all of this information is REQUIRED to successfully wall-bounce off of two 1 tile blocks, which is a room that wants complete mastery over the mechanic, which from then on the game seems to just expect you to have fully incorporated into your movement as a default ability into the 9th chapter.
The reason you kept dropping the jellly fish is because when you crouch on land you drop the jelly fish and you held down for a bit too long
2:01:11 the crystals in this room are 1 pixel lower than they should be, making your hitbox able to interact with the edge of it to replenish your dash.
2:40:00 when you crouch on the ground while holding something you’ll drop it
so... he was unknowingly handicapping himself TWICE!?
Is that how you're supposed to do that room? I found a different way, but it felt kinda unintentional
@@kiriyalwasp you don’t actually need to refresh your dash by hitting the ground there, it’s just a platform for moonberry
I really hope no one is turned away from playing Celeste after watching this video from thinking it's too difficult or whatever. Yes, it is a challenging game that could be accurately described as a precision platformer, but it is by no means pixel or frame perfect ever. Seanie heavily exaggerates in the intro when he says that. Timings for most inputs are actually quite generous (letting you jump for a few frames after leaving the ground or change dash direction for a few frames after the initial input, for example). It really just takes practice to get comfortable with the controls and build muscle memory. Once you do, the movement really just flows. The movement and level design are both phenomenally well designed in my opinion. It may be difficult, but it is well designed difficulty.
The difficulty curve is also a lot better that in appears if you just start with the A sides and leave the B sides for later. Chapter 3 is a bit of a difficulty spike, but otherwise the difficulty curve is really quite reasonable. After 7A, only do the higher difficulty chapters if you genuinely want to. If you don't there's really no shame in stopping at the summit.
THIS. while the difficulty is something key to the game, it always gives you time to build up to it. Celeste may be difficult, but its never 0 to 100 without a break.
As someone that made it to Farewell, the difficulty curve is quite linear. The skill growth is gradual and slow, like real growth is.
That one room in farewell with the wind and the sideways springs feels pretty close to frame perfect but otherwise yea, it's a very forgiving game
I actually got interest in doing the same challenge, do you recommend playing with keyboard or controller? I don't want to commit to the wrong one
@@def2020 I only did keyboard and it went well, also because I could change the key binds! (i 100%ed in like 3 weeks with 20k deaths!)
Also leaving this here for those willing to attempt the golden strawberries.
They are a no death run of each stage, meaning if you grab it and die right before the end, whole stage all over again.
There is a second golden strawberry however on 1-A. You gotta beat the stage dashless.
Good luck!
im at 194 berries at the moment :3
@ YO YOU GOT THIS
@@Dominic_Hunter :3333
I… I knew about everything else in this game. I did not know 1-a had a dashless golden strawberry. Do you need to neutral jump off of walls or can you beat it without it? (Speedrunning technique that allows you to climb walls without needing stamina.)
Yep, the last room before you get to the memorial requires neutral jumps to get up to the top. I don’t even know how many times I practiced it to get up there the first time.
42:55 It’s a Canadian flag because Celeste mountain is a real mountain in Canada
Thank you for reminding me that I need to finish Farewell so I can 100% my save file.
But seriously, congrats on completing Celeste. Despite the pain I'm glad you had fun.
I love it so much how over the video it went from “bad-elyn” to “battle-lyn”. I might be crazy but I swear I started hearing the difference when you realized that she was just scared and not evil. Just a kid trying to “battle” through her demons. Idk I just loved the nickname you gave her.
2:10:13 “who can’t even pronounce arstotska”
*pronounces it incorrectly*
You win, Seanie. You win.
I think you would have enjoyed some of the B sides a lot more if you did them after chapter 7 or maybe even after core, the progression of difficulty is much smoother and going back the old themes after a while is so refreshing.
56:11 this dialogue kind of shook me the first time since I'm a girl and my nickname IRL is Alex and people use it more often than my real name which I don't mind.
Also don't know if other people mentioned this but the music inside the inner temple can be reversed. If you do so you can hear a voice talking about feeling trapped in their own body. IIRC it's the composer Lena Raine (yes the same that made pigstep) talking about her gender dysphoria.

You have no idea how mad that statement made me, then I stopped and realized that it was a hilarious way to discredit yourself intentionally🤣
1:50:57 I think it was supposed to remind Madeline of her depression. When Theo asks her what it was like, she said that it felt like she was underwater, claustrophobic, and she felt like could go in any direction but not get anywhere.
You should 100% taking a break. You need it.
I only died 9000 times when 100%ing celeste so I was really surprised when I saw 30000 deaths on the thumbnail. Then I realized that Seanie for someone reason was beating b sides right after a sides. I forgot about them and came back when I had to collect hearts for chapter 8. They were mostly a breeze to me then
Perhaps you're also just good at this game. I did chapter 9 in 11h and 4k deaths and felt like I was doing very well, most people I know had more trouble than that on their discovery run, and that's still 16k total with 2k on 7C (4h) and ~1k on most difficult chapters
Yeah I believe you are supposed to do the B-sides after beating the game or after you've beaten a few more levels
Man, I died around 1k times only on 1A. 2.5k on 3A (almost quitted the game during that ride). Chapter 8 was another hell. So 45k deaths in total, completed everything except the moon berry.
Great game but you need to have insane muscle memory to beat it (and endless patience)

I loved 90%ing this game (havent gotten gold berries or moon berry). I feel like the pressure of making a video probably muddied the fun for you. I recommend playing through again at your own pace. I remember i played through the base game (just A sides) over the course of about a week. I then took a few years break before going ahead and getting all the collectables, B/C sides, and then doing core. A few months later i did farewell and had a good (but difficult) time.

Something good to note is that the Goldens don’t count towards 100%. 202 berries is a separate thing, that I don’t suggest anyone go through

@@taiyo-alt1360it says 2021 cuz thats when it was originally scheduled to come out and it kept getting delayed but they never updated the file names lol
Watching this whilst playing modded Celeste. Always nice to see how people struggle when playing this game to remember that yes, the base game is indeed hard.
At 2:40:20 the reason why madaline drops the jelly is because you hold down on the controller while being on the ground. Its used to allow you to let go of a jelly without giving it any horizontal movement, for instance if you need to use upwind to hit a switch you could position yourself below the switch and hold down to let it float up to it. So not a glitch just a game mechanic that isn't taught explicitly.
44:00 that white block is a reference to one of the first mario games!
2:01:10 as far as I know, when Madeline is being pushed downward into spikes (like by wind) or spikes are being pushed up into her (like by dash block), Madeline can touch the platform under the spikes for a few frames. I could be wrong, but that’s my guess for what happened here

14:50 "This is a metaphor for something, I don't know what it is yet..." Hmm, mini-game with myself: guessing when SD figures it out. I mean, I never played a precision platformer in my life, but even I know the story behind this. I mean, just look at the game logo... So... 1h48m?
What's with the logo?
@@polecat3 Knowing the metaphor, I'm not figuring it out
Badeline actually isn't a metaphor, technically. She's the actual literal embodiment of Madeline's issues.
@@Albinojackrussel I was more talking about the general metaphor of the entire game

9:40 I’m assuming you know what a b side is in real life, but since some of the audience may be younger, a B-Side is typically the opposite side of a cd or vinyl which would contain extra songs, an example is yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam if you’re aware of that band, I believe it was the b-side for Jeremy but I can’t quite remember
congratulations on finishing celeste! it's one of my favorites and i always love watching others experience it.
I was so concerned that he might have tried the golden berries for a second.
Gg 👍 It is one of the hardest video game challenge.
I did 100% (with 1A dashless and the Moon Berry) twice it is one of my personnel favorite game ever.
1A Golden Winged berry is amazing, basically a meta berry. Feels like a joke but you can actually do it "abusing" some weird mechanics (spike jumps) XD
@@jimmyh2137 I got the Golden Winged Berry after about 2 hours as a warmup to Farewell, and it felt really good to look back and see how far I progressed.
Limits are meant to be broken. You'll find that if you push hard enough, reality might bend just a bit, and a dream could become a little closer to a reality. Well done. You did it. Sure, you didn't get the Goldens, but those are just a bonus challenge. I've spent even longer pushing through this game's hardest challenges than you did, and we've both got so much better at the game because of it. If you can get the Goldens, it's worth the effort, but I'm still having trouble with them. I'll keep updating the Celeste discord with my progress, though. Good luck with whatever you tackle next!
Watched the whole thing. This video represents the kind of real effort, both in the gameplay and the video production, that youtube's algo should reward greatly.
i'm so glad you actually did this. this game is beautiful, but it's also pain and suffering >:3 (it's also good to know you also instinctively held grab constantly, makes me feel less crazy)
24:00 "This is the worst room that's ever been created!"
Oh...
Oh buddy...

I also had the habit of holding the climb button my entire playthrough. And because of this habit you could literally see “zr” on my finger because the joy cons have an indent for the trigger labels
2:01:13 not a Celeste pro but a speedrun watcher; Celeste is extra generous with hazards that move into you so you toe touching it might be the reason . I don’t feel comfortable explaing more
whenever a spike is moving it does not kill you if IT goes into YOU (it does if YOU go into IT) so you can touch the platform for a split second (im pretty sure if you stay longer itll count as your character standing on the block which means the spike acts like normal rather than how it does while moving into you.) theres also if you move towards where the spikes are pointing you also dont get hit (like that one room in chapter 3 where its used in speedruns).
The interaction you're referring to applies to spikes, not spinners. This was actually just caused by the spinner hitbox being a bit generous
This specific room has the spinners one pixel lower than usual
what do you mean you don't feel comfortable?
...is the dash syndicate after you...?
@@holdenstrack9349 I don’t like saying stuff I’m not 95% sure is accurate and I know the thing I mentioned is accurate but I wasn’t sure about it applying to this scenario and no other comments explained it so i thought; screw it, I can either mention the scenario and be right about it or mention the scenario, be wrong about it, and have someone else explain it so I can get an answer.
Great video dude, brought back some fire memories from when I was obsessed with Celeste
Normally I don't enjoy watching UA-camrs have mental breakdowns over challenges. This was actually rewarding though. Guess I have to subscribe now.
2:01:43 fun fact! that room has actually been *nerfed* since release. I believe it was the only one that was nerfed. pre-nerf, IMO it was worse than 7C last screen. it was absolutely brutal.
I goldened pre-nerf 5C out of spite, I have a total of almost 10k deaths on that level.
one thing I remember quite clearly is that the spring at 2:02:28 just... wasn't there. so if you messed up that ultra precise bubble, there was no safety net. other than that I believe the first section was changed around to be much easier.
YOOOOOOO
HE DID IT ACTUALLY
I commented on his Hollow Knight Video about recommending this, and I don’t regret it a single bit, hearing you both rant and love this game.
If you want more of Celeste I recommend playing the mod strawberry jam it’s extremely good and it’s about 2.5 times bigger than Celeste
The start is pretty easy but the end is literally the hardest thing in gaming
I know you will probably get tens of comments recommending strawberry jam so sorry if this is the fourth one you read
@@Immrfennelyou called it
@@Immrfenneloh yeah strawberry jam is a blast lol. Once I get my pc back from being upgraded I’m gonna replay through it again.
I think Seaniedew despises celeste
27:49 so mountain celeste is meant to be quite a climb, and in the old days that hotel was the last civilized stop before the real climb began, theres a literal memorial for all who perish in the clim, mountain celeste is, or at least was a big spot for mountain climbers, and it was madelne that made the mess her problem.
this is so fun to watch after 100% this game at least 3 times now. I actually know what I'm doing and can do all of the "hard rooms" in just a couple minutes most of the time, I still haven't collected all goldens but ya. I love this game so much
I'm so glad you finally played Celeste! This is one of my favorite indie games ever and watching you suffer through it is fun. Also it's so funny when you say things like "this is the worst screen in the game" and I just think of 7c 8c or Farewell.
More than 800 deaths on 1c is crazy,i really admire your dedication to finish the game,i have never seen someone with this much Determination,damn.the video is fun to watch too,i cant believe i have watched 2 hours straight.
Grandmaster maps when?
SEANIE PLEASEEE 100% SLIME RANCHER TWOOOO

The "cannonballs" in chapter 4 are just snowballs blown by the wind.
1:39:51 Yea, honestly impressive you got so far into 7B before realizing how the clouds work! Flag 13 is quite hard even when you understand the mechanic, without that it must have been torture 😅

as someone who has gotten almost all of the golden strawberries (all but the one in farewell). i respect the fact that you didn't get them. i spent to much time to get most of them.
I am trying to get the one in farewell.
I would personally recommend trying some modded content before trying farewell golden. Seeing the same screens over and over will 100% make you go insane.
@@maxwang4803 where can i get mods?
@@TheLostOnes12 you can search how to download them. I myself am not too deep into them so but there are a lot of useful tutorials online. I would recommend something like the strawberry jam colab if you want to see what modding can offer.

Man. You're nuts. Good luck
So at 2:00:59 Basically you landed on the very edge of the block and the hitbox of the crystal didn't extend to that corner, you can also do whats called a 'spike jump' where you jump so precisely that you jump on the spike and regain your dash.
You called me out with that joke about using the audio as a podcast 😭😭😭 thank you for the background noise and video content though, I thoroughly enjoyed your suffering
44:45 theyre snow balls. I always took it that the wind was causing them.
Congrats on the 100% Celeste! As an experienced Celeste player, I can clarify a few things that you get confused by:
At 2:01:00, you refilled your dash on one of the moving dash blocks. When a hazard moves (like spikes on moving platforms or dust bunnies from chapter 3), their hitbox lags behind by a frame, which can occasionally expose the corner of the block and let you stand there for a single frame. By walking off the corner on the very next frame, the game never realizes you should have died. This is due to the order the game calculates things each frame: Madeline moves, then the game checks if you hit hazards, then the hazards move. The same can occur in wind.
You said that you cannot do a wallbounce while holding dash. This is false, but maybe your controller wasn't reading the jump input when the dash and climb buttons were pressed. This is more often an issue on keyboard, but can happen on controller. Also, you can wallbounce while grabbing, the jump timing is just more precise, which is why it's recommended to not grab.
At 2:39:50, you said that a "weird glitch" made you drop the jellyfish. It's not a glitch, just a normal game mechanic you hadn't noticed: when you press down on solid ground, you crouch, and you cannot hold objects while crouched. Thus, when you held down to descend in the wind, you ended up landing on the ground while holding down, and therefore crouched, and therefore dropped the jellyfish. 100% intended mechanic, just one that isn't explained outright.
Also, extended hypers and wavedashes are the same thing, the game just explains wavedashes somewhat poorly. Getting a proper wavedash is based on the amount of time between your dash and jump, just like an extended hyper. However, the game tries to make it more intuitive by telling you to buffer your jump, thus making it dependent on the height where you start the dash. If you do a wavedash but jump at the same time as you would with an extended hyper, you'll get the jump you want, even if you hit the ground at a weird time.
OH MY GOD IM TWEAKING OUT IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO THIS GAME IS PEAK
imo using extended hypers on farewell is totally understandable and i can only assume exok wasnt aware of them during development bc theyre a much easier mid point than wave dashes.
the wall bounce thing though; literal skill issue, theyre so satisfying and fun to pull off, L plus ratio plus no golden strawberries 💯🔥
IMO the aerial dash is a good visual cue to get it if you have good reflexes, but it's basically just a method to use a buffered jump to ensure the timing. Once I realized each block in that triple falling block room is effectively lined up so that the perfect height is pretty much your max height after each jump and some extra pixels of forgiveness, they got really easy to chain any time chaining's designed to be required.
But it does hinge on figuring that out and having the reaction skill. I can totally see a fresh player have a much easier time just doing extended hypers or reverse hypers, as they don't have to go through labbing things out and developing an eye for it.
exok was 100% aware of extended hyper dashes during development. I think the reason why they were never explained is because wavedashes are more versatile; extended hyper dashes require quite a bit more ground space, which creates extra limitations on the game design element.
The reason they don't just teach both is because explaining two similar-but-different techniques to the player could be overwhelming.
The true reason they teach you wave dashing instead of extended hypers is because, funny enough, wave dashing makes it easier for you to get your dash back (there's a 2x bigger window for you to jump and get the momentum + dash). Plus most of the levels were designed with wave dashing in mind.
Now I can't back up this info, but I do remember hearing about it somewhere. Apparently, wave dashing was hard-coded into the game, while hypers and ultras were a byproduct of that code. So, in a scale, wave dashing is the most realible code-wise, then comes hypers, then ultras, which are basically pixel-perfect to execute, and even then have a chance to fail.
Also yes they knew about hypers even before the speedrunning comunity started using them, they even teach you them at the end of 8C
All it took for the wall bounce was knowing you have to jump _while_ you're dashing. But I've overlooked more obvious things.
@@Sweetaru1 They teach flat hypers in 8c. OP means getting one's dash back, a variation you're not expected to do then, as they're across single tile blocks, iirc.
2:03:05 "You may remember way back at the beginning of the video when I told you 3 lunch breaks ago."
Tell me why it has been exactly 3 intervals of me watching this video.
1. Lunch break
2. Falling asleep
3. Wake up finally finishing the video
34:56 ARE THEY GONNA WHAT NOW?!?!
1:41:30 It's actually a very easy mechanic.
All it matters for wall jumps is that you jump WHILE you're dashing (up).
You have the space of the dash to jump but once the dash is finished you can't wall jump.
2:01 there is one pixel of "ground" next to the spike that you slipped on restoring your dash.
Yeah I think Seanie fundamentally misunderstood how Wall Bounces works.
@@MrLegendofLP i think it's mainly due to him holding the wall climb button, as he found out later in the vid
Honestly the fact that you did the b-sides after the a-sides is kinda impressive (first two at least) I left them all till the end
Celeste is one of my favorite games of all time. It’s the only game so far that has truly connected with me. I’m glad you got to experience this game.
Talent alone cannot get you through this game. As someone who most people would consider talented at videogames, that just wast enough for me to get through this. It takes something much greater than that. It take determination and force of will. The ability to keep going and pick yourself back up. Because no matter how bad you start off being, you can become amazing at something if you just put in the time and effort to truly get better.
This game is the first game I have encountered that truly challenged me, it’s also the first to hook me into its story, I’ve never been very interested in the stories of the videogames I’m playing, but think game truly clicked with me. I still am yet to beat farewell, but I’ve kept trying on and off to do it. One day I’ll finish it.
good luck with farewell! the feeling of beating it is unlike anything i've ever experienced, very worth it. take your time, you can do it :)
1:43:24 idk what's going on with your controller or what you googled but you absolutely can be holding dash while performing a wallbounce
probably an AI overview lmao
20:50 I thought he was gonna say something about the shape of the dash liquid
1:16:26 Out of every word, I never would have thought “diphthong” would ever be used as an insult.
As a choir singer, it caught me off guard too.
So remember all the pain you went through. The madness of chapter 3, the anger at the b sides, the daunting c sides, and the nightmare that is farewell.
Yeah now imagine doing it on a CHROMEBOOK
WITH LAG SPIKES
Im sorry
My condolences
As a Celeste 100% I can confirm it can be fun when you get the hang of it but when your new you wanna yeet you pc out the window and then fart on it
Collision of spikes in Celeste, specifically the spinners or circle spike clusters can be really weird. So you probably just graze the very edge of the moving platform and didn’t touch the spinner fully.
