First he shows how to beat Poseidon's statue with ALL the boys, then he shows how to solo it while dying to headache. That is our GGG! Don't burn out please
I only built the wonder in my first playthrough as a kid back in the original. It's very possible, but especially on Retold it's quite tedious on Titan. You can also kill Cerberus, Norse Titan and Kronos without the 'super unit' of those missions. Cerberus is by far the hardest to do this on, took over 120 priests and all arrow-shooting buildings possible to break his regen, while Kronos folds to 40 hero Arcus.
In the original you could also use the birds but was a bit hard to kill cronas as they died by aoe. And for poseidon; heliopoli filled with unita was great
@@AristotelisMelas It might be faster to kill the statue in Retold with the wonder but without actually casting the blessing, as that way you still get the wonder age buffs and can roll up with max-head hydras... which can then be boosted to iirc *quadruple* their already absurd damage by stacking Arkantos' buff on top of the wonder age buff.
G³ could have optimized his build further by waiting 1 minute to destroy the statue. This would have allowed him an extra UA-cam mid-roll ad while still breaking the world record.
Congrats! I also like that there's already visible room for improvement here, with the timing on switching your resource buff off of gold so you and your competition can hopefully skip the market step in future records.
I always wondered why the Norse send us Giants this mission, considering the Giants are on Gargarensis side. Why not send Hersir, Einherjar and Valkyries? Maybe some Godir now in Retold.
I am still flashbanged every time I am reminded that they didn't try to draw a new landmass for Atlantis, they just copypasted Mindanao, one of the three main islands of the Philippine archipelago.
Weird idea, but I would have loved to see this mission from Black&White 2 perspective. "Arkantos, build wonder faster, I don't have enough area of influence to help you!" Instead it looks like Zeus doesn't care about what's going on and how it'll undermine him. "Here, one lighting bolt is all I can do, take it or leave it."
That was an awesome run and I'm excited to see a full campaign run. A small change you could consider for future attempts would be to build that first village center next to the berries and gold so that you could empower the gathering of two resources at once.
the moment when you stop one grant video to watch another and now you cannot decide which one to finish first xD but sure, why not just do a world record as a side project
@@subatomicseal7789 I believe the "Hop-Li-Tay" pronunciation is closer to the original greek word or at least closer to the latin version of the greek word
@@API-Beast shit, that makes sense, but I've never thought of it that way. I just kinda took the pronunciation in AoM when I was a kid and never questioned it
2:38 don't quote me on this, but I believe in AoM there's no difference between destruction and cancellation of a building foundation - in both cases you get resources back based what percentile it was built.
Grant is feeling unwell, so he decides to show off just how sick he is by casually getting a world record and then napping 😂 Take care of yourself Grant
yeah this is the most GGG thing to do. Average person would just like, lay down, or take some tylenol or whatever, but nah, Grant decided he'd casually drop a WR
Wait a second. Since when can you build Towncenters like in AOE2 in the campaign? Is this specific to the last mission? Usually you have to build those at fixed locations.
It's a new feature in Retold, but if you don't build them on ruins they are much weaker village centers. They produce slower, don't attack without being garrisoned and don't increase pop cap
Headache
Option A: Rest
Option B: Get a world record
GGG: Why not both?
>Grant wakes up , has a headache
>Decides to get world record, does so
>Refuses to elaborate
>Go to lay down
Get well soon Grant
giant brain headache can give you immense power
Grant just casually gets a world record because he's got a headache is such a Grant thing to do. Rest well, Grant, hope your headache goes away.
First he shows how to beat Poseidon's statue with ALL the boys, then he shows how to solo it while dying to headache.
That is our GGG! Don't burn out please
Here I thought someone told me you didn't even need the wonder to kill the statue...
You can but you need a very big army

Definitely looking forward to the full speed run. That'll be crazy. Good stuff man and feel better soon :D

You know one of these days you're gonna run out of world records to cure your headaches
9:31 tree falls of the earth
Lol
I love the small tingles i felt when grant placed the plenty vault. I dont know why it sounded so... dynamic.

For some reason the Einherjar are on Gargarensis side.
He builds them a lot and you almost never get to build them yourself.
To be fair, giants in Norse myth are kinda complicated. Like they're usually enemies, but sometimes they're not.
Expectation: Raynor in Belly of the Beast
Reality: Arkantos stabbing beasts in the belly
Hope you feel better soon Grant. Impressive achievement for feeling so rough!
Things to do, when you‘re sick:
rest
take a day off
sleep
and apparently playing a world record time
Well you're not Giant Great Games so I'd assume, best case scenario, you'd be feeling Grant.
Seriously though, get well soon!
Get well soon Grant! In the meantime, I welcome all AoM content! It's fantastic :)
I am still flashbanged every time I am reminded that they didn't try to draw a new landmass for Atlantis, they just copypasted Mindanao, one of the three main islands of the Philippine archipelago.
Atlantis didn't sink, they just pushed it somewhere else.
Lol, like Kerrigan using Kinetic Blast from that Abathur's Whimsy mod XD

In fairness you get more than one now. Weirdly expensive for what is literally a single unit removal spell, but you get more than one.

Me: I have a Headache, I cannot think, my head hurts.
Grant:
Bro's showing us what he can do at 1% power
the moment when you stop one grant video to watch another and now you cannot decide which one to finish first xD
but sure, why not just do a world record as a side project
1HP AOMR next week.
Congratz Grant! Also I have to say I love Age of Mythology content and I hope to see more in the future.
The best Thing To do when you have a headache ist to get a world Rekord
It's interesting that some people pronounce "hoplite" as "hoplite" or "hoplite" instead of the correct "hoplite".
Wait, is it pronounced hop-lee-teh, instead of hop-light?
@@subatomicseal7789 Yes, because it is greek.
@@subatomicseal7789 I believe the "Hop-Li-Tay" pronunciation is closer to the original greek word or at least closer to the latin version of the greek word

Been a while since we've seen any WR attempts, love to see it. Debilitated even

Can't believe GiantGrantGames got a GiantGrantHeadache
Please get some good rest man. We care about you ❤
Great . Now we wait for deathless . We wonder if it`s going to be harder den SC 1 .
He aint doing deathless, way too many options for AI to insta gib units cause they also get top bars
!original
No point, it was already done actually. Amon's Challenges channel on YT.
This reminds me of how James May beat Gordan Ramsey at cooking while sipping wine...
I'm at this point convinced Grant is in fact powered by migraines.
Grant is feeling unwell, so he decides to show off just how sick he is by casually getting a world record and then napping 😂
Take care of yourself Grant
When you are addicted to speedrunning and get a headache if you don't get a WR every now and then
Rest well dude!
Rest well champion. ^^
yeah this is the most GGG thing to do. Average person would just like, lay down, or take some tylenol or whatever, but nah, Grant decided he'd casually drop a WR
lmao I totally forgot Village Centers exist
Imagine this record than become unbeatable for the next few years.
Such headache, much world record.
Grant with gamer bones in attack mode is such a broken combo
I think Grant should optimize this run and show us his process.
More age of myth pls....id watch it. Ofc ill watch regardless
Hey just if it might help, hot water bath for your feet helps bring down blood from the brain, it helps with my migraines.
just curious if you would like to do the LifeForce campaign that Harstem is doing? It is pretty interesting would like to see you try it.

New feature with retold. They don't count for bonus supply though
How to get world records?
Have a headache.
Noted
You might have wanted to turn down the worker confirmation sounds.
Is Grant a Psyduck?!
How the hell were the Norse not attacked in the first 10 minutes?
Wings of liberty worker only?
bolt didn't do damage to the statue?
Why does Gargarensis sound so awful? Nothing like the original and some how sounds way worse.
YOU CAN JUST BUILD TOWN CENTERS!? WHEN WAS THAT A THING, THATS CRAZY. Oops. Caps. >_>
It's a new feature in Retold, but if you don't build them on ruins they are much weaker village centers. They produce slower, don't attack without being garrisoned and don't increase pop cap
Why keep the god powers in reserve? Bronze was available and would have kept Arcantos safe on the final stretch.
Doesn't apply to heroique units
Congrats on the WR? I suppose I'll have to edit this if the title was false clickbait.
