The Imperfection Run - Stardew Valley's First Low%
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- I think we all strain ourselves too much trying to aim for perfection, so I'm going to strain myself even more to do the opposite! To my knowledge, there's no recorded attempt at getting to the walnut room on Ginger Island at minimum perfection percentage, and that'll be our goal today!
Low% Examples used in the intro:

There are two kinds of low% runs
"basically any% with a few small routing changes" and
"35 extra hours so we can avoid the percent for breathing"
And the latter is always more fun to watch!
Twilight Princess Low% is literal hours of AFK to clip through walls via a broken animation loop slowly sliding you backwards, and Hollow Knight Low% is 40+ hours of grinding rare enemy drops in the same room.
So yeah, avoiding the % for breathing would be right at home in here.
@@Ender_Onryo Yeah, the rupee clip and Hollow Knight's Low% Dream No more were the two I was most thinking of when I posted that.
@@Ender_Onryo IIRC, it's specifically just True Ending Low% NSOoB (no storage out-of-bounds), which bans the glitch that makes it easy but still permits the glitch that makes it possible.
@@toricon8070 What glitch makes it easy? Your still have a ton of essence to grind.

The walnut room actually requires 101 golden walnuts to unlock. I can confirm that! Grinding that last couple walnuts and recounting all of them multiple times just to stand in front of the door and read 99/100 is so frustrating!
Its not so much that you need 101 its that the first golden walnut ubfind is given to thr bird to befrienf it and doesn't count for the hunt.

Low% runs are always such a funny concept, I love watching all the creative ways it takes to achieve goals in game that I'm positive the creators never intended. Thank you for showcasing your run, and congrats on getting into the walnut room at 3% 🎉
It’s literally putting in the most effort to put in the least effort
"Creative ways it takes to achieve goals in game"
You mean creative ways it takes to NOT achieve goals in games
Low % true ending in hollow knight is funny, it's painful.
The low-percentage run of one of the wii zelda games has Link staring at a rupee for 17 hours
My favorite Breath Of The Wild Runs are the ones where I don't activate any towers except the Great Plateau. Leaving the map empty and not using it was such a good idea.
"My mango is to blow up"
I LOST IT
the worst meme of 2017 is coming back for vengeance
What did he mean by this?
@@jacksonpercy8044 (You can find the video by searching "my main goal is to blow up") I don't know if it's a missed meme or a language barrier, so I'm going to break it down hard. It's an old meme where a dude with shark-looking tooth coverings says, "My main goal, is to blow up and then act like I know nobody" then makes a few chomp/biting sounds, basically drawing attention to his teeth.
The way he starts it off honestly does sound like "mango"
@@sadfaceemojioxlong8593 To this day sometimes I interrupt a friend when they say "my main goal". It's an impulse, everyday happenings can trigger these kinds of things up.
@LunatheMoonDragon and he acted like he know nobody
i'm pretty sure the game doesn't count the first walnut you use in leo's hut towards unlocking the walnut room. Just a guess though. Since you wouldn't have been able to get to the island west until you unlock the parrots, i'm pretty sure it just requires you to get 100 more after the first one. I would count this as a perfect low% run.
Yeah, when he mentioned there being one extra I thought Leo's hut too. It's the only golden walnut I can think of that makes sense for the game to not count, the one that starts the golden walnut hunt.
if thats the case, could you skip that wallnut by using the hoe glitch to get out of bounds and go behind the turtle? if so we got ourselfs a new low% run to do
I can vaguely remember BlaDe mentioning that that one doesn't count.
@@lily_littleangel Ah swiggity, ty ty! :)
@@tigerkaitokid I was mistaken. I actually read it on Mousypound's stardew checkup.
For the tulips, all you needed was 5 flowers, save scum 1 flower, when you get the walnut, save then do the next one until you've done all 5 instead of hoping you get 5 all in one go
Maybe since the percentage of a drop was so low, he didn’t want to spend that much time doing it
@@Veronicz spending hours waiting for all 5 to go at once seems a lot slower than spending 10 minutes per. It would also spend less xp by just doing 5 instead of all of them
also, given that hes allowed enough xp for 14 tulips total he could even pick 3 each time for a ~27% chance each attempt, meaning it'd really only take like 20 attempts or so
This isn't useful to you anymore, but if someone else wanted to try this run: you don't actually need more than one flute block to do the mermaid puzzle! You can just put down the flute block, tune it to the first note, walk past to play it, then pick it back up and put it down for the second note and so on.
Anyway great video this was a really entertaining idea!
Neat, never knew that!
That’s amazing minmax and I love it
You can also get Level 1 Foraging to shake trees for Golden Coconuts because of the one level allowance
I really could’ve used this information…
thank you
Townspeople: "You are by far the worst farmer I have ever heard of."
Salmence: "But you HAVE heard of me."
Have they though? It seems like you don’t need to meet many of them to do this run
this actually is more impressive to me than completionist runs
you accidentally made the very best golden coconut guide on the internet
I noticed the weird 101 walnuts too. I think it has to do with the one you feed the hint bird. Don't know for certain though.
Yeah, the extra one is the walnut you feed to the parrot in Leo's hut

"I used one mod" *alolan vulpix* seriously tho, great video, excellent challenge. Would be cool to see this turned into a real competitive speedrun category.
Came to see if anyone had mentioned this
@@transbiologistthetransesto7956 ah, it is the transest of biologists! please shower me with wisdom! :D
Lmao I knew I wouldn't be alone in noticing that
sprite changes aren't mods though! its just swapping an image file!
@@kali9341 if you're modifying the game, it's a mod. People are saying it mostly tongue-in-cheek rather than as a true "gotcha" but it definitely is a mod.
The boulder blocking the dig spot on Ginger Island is always there! So you weren't just unlucky in that regard. This was so much fun to watch live and I'm enjoying watching it in video form again. Still jealous that you got that living hat so quickly.
Ah good to know! Funny how I never noticed it until I had to work around it
?????GUYS I am a new player and I am at my 3rd year already (first run) and my run is still not finished I only got ginger island in my third year (yeah embarrassing but I had no idea how to) just started watching youtube videos but my third year and I STILL DID NOT ENCOUNTER ANY meteor?????? Do meteors disappear? Like if you don't harvest it do it disappear? Because I HAD not even seen one yet? Is it possible third year still no meteor? Edit: just double checked I am on my FOURTH year day 12 of winter and I only recently found I need to get this glass thing to look at secret notes and found out what it is for because I got random notes in the ginger island and I don't know how to look at it so I searched it up and I have to do this task and only RECENTLY I found out how to read secret notes
@@salmence100 man i need to thank you this video showed me how to progress in the game
@@Dashomin meteors don't dissappear they're just super rare and will only spawn if they have all the 6 tiles they spawn on open. They won't destroy grass/twigs/rocks to spawn themselves
@@Dashomin Meteors are a rare nightly event that can occur. You know it's happened because you'll get a notification saying something like "an explosion was heard in the night". Totally normal to not have seen one.
the fact that you have to cross the entire town to get to the other side of your farm so you don’t gain experience made me laugh out loud so hard. this is so entertaining and i love your content.
Something funny about the living hat, and probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in a game (but I didn't even know it at the time), is that on my first playthrough of the game I got the living hat in the first season and was just like "Oh, that's a cute hat." Then sometime like 5 in-game years later, I realized I had never seen another one and was wondering how rare it was, which is when I learned how insanely lucky I had been.
I had this with the trash can hat! It's not as rare as the living hat but I got it in like summer of my first ever year playing stardew and I only found out it was rare when my friend got it on a co-op game with me and she got really excited because she's never gotten in with like hundreds of hours into the game lmao.
@@cubisttubistmy fiancé has gotten like ten of those trash can hats so I can never tell if everyone’s exaggerating how rare they are or if my fiancé is just ridiculously lucky. To be fair, they do check every trash can every day so that means a lot more chances to get it.
I love the way you applied Low% to Stardew Valley! Just one small correction: It is actually entirely possible to reach the bottom of the mines without any skill xp and without ladders! In the mines, only ore and grey rocks actually give mining xp. Normal rocks only do if they drop copper or coal. So with a bit of resetting the day if you got the random coal or ore drop, you can safely make it down five levels at a time. I know all this because I actually played a 0 skill xp challenge a while ago where I employed that strategy aswell.
I did that but got bored of playing before I could get even 40 floors down because it requires absurdly good RNG.
@@jacksonpercy8044 well, use blades prediction sheet next time to save yourself from that frustration. It tells you exactly which rock has a ladder and which drops coal or ore. No RNG required
@@silvershine2261lol that is still rng, just that you can see the rng. it doesn't change what you get that day. predictor does not negate rng 😂
This was a ton of fun to watch through. I actually laughed out loud in victory when I saw you had gotten the 3 percent. All that lead up was super satisfying! And honestly having your face cam up was nice- I liked seeing you celebrate lol
maybe I’ll keep the webcam in the future, and just cut out chat and stream notifications!
@@salmence100 Maybe! I'm not sure about anyone else but I actually enjoy reading the chat when stuff happens. Like when you had to restart your run it was nice to see others were going "nooo" too
@@balentay it’s always really enjoyable for me too, kind of like why I like to use the ‘timed mode’ on UA-cam. It’s cool to have a reaction to something and see other people simultaneously sharing the same reaction
I liked seeing the face cam as well, especially when you accidentally picked the garlic 😂
I've always enjoyed watching other people play games (it comes from being the younger sibling during a time when it was basically impossible to put two players on one computer - you aren't going to put the little on the controls, they're going to be the peanut/cheering gallery) and it's a nice touch to be able to see you the player as well as the game. I feel more at home!
I 100%ed this game. Fully done, no need to pick it up ever again. Today is when I learned that you can zoom out. WTF.
Concept: A Professor Oak's Challenge in Stardew
In Pokémon, a Professor Oak's Challenge is where you have to catch every single Pokémon available during a certain point of the game before progressing and unlocking new areas. I think it would be interesting try something like that, but in Stardew. Maybe you have to complete as much of perfection as possible in spring, and sleep through the other seasons until you've got every spring item/progression before doing anything in Summer. I'm not sure how well it would work, but it would kind of be the High% inverse of this run, in a way.
Or 100%?
Wand of Sparking has actually done two runs similar to what you're thinking of.
For one of the runs, he attempted to complete the entire collection tab in 1 ingame year.
The other one was trying to complete perfection as fast as possible or within 2 years.
They're great videos and I'd recommend checking them out :)
@@darknessitself8259neither of those are too similar. He’s saying you don’t do anything on a non-spring day until you have 100% the spring season
A thousand hours of stardew valley later, my heart still hurts whenever someone purchases a joja membership
And thank you for doing the run and cutting all of that footage together. Made cleaning and reorganizing my kitchen cupboards bearable 😆
I personally LOATH livestreams, and REALLY appreciate you going through all the work that goes into turning a stream into a feature video.
Yes exactly! Same here!
I'm curious, what do you dislike about them?
I find them pretty charming.
@@davidclayton1670 if they’re anything like me, it can be really hard to focus on them because they’re just so long and sometimes, they’re really repetitive (like this video. that’s not his fault though, this speedrun literally required repetition). to have the same content from the streams shortened down into one video that can be paused and picked up at another time & is very easily digestible is really nice :) i still like streams, but i mostly fall asleep to them or have them playing while i’m cleaning or something.
Great run! Love the creativity that goes into these low % runs.
Small nit-pick for the farming walnuts: you could have save scummed them one at a time. Pick a tulip and reset if it doesn't give a walnut. Whenever you do get a nut, sleep to lock it in and that gives you the walnuts with only 5 tulips picked.
22:30. Bro. I've been looking for this video for so long. Just the way you say I forgor so casually is just so funny. I'm so glad I found it
The 101'st walnut is the one you fed to the parrot at the very beginning, so im pretty sure that one just doesnt count towards the door
You gloriously insane person, you. As someone who rarely steps too far out of a game's basic design to create self-imposed challenges (about as exotic I get is a no-traders/crafting only run in games that let you craft all or most of what vendors sell), it's a ton of fun to watch UA-camrs with more patience, creativity, and imagination than I've got come up with truly wild challenges...and then execute them.
Nearly a year later I have watched this video so many times, I love low percent runs and would love to see sal do more challenge runs in general
This helped me a lot cuz I thought the branches on the ground and getting berries from the bushes counted towards levels, I never knew they didn’t 😢
"kent sends you bombs in the mail...which is normal" 😂😂😂
I think it’s genuinely really cool when creators go back on their older videos and reply to the comments!!!❤❤
on rewatch, i'm suddenly VERY concerned about why Gus had a poisonous mushroom in his trash.
oh no. better not get on gus' bad side, huh..
Ordered a crate of mushrooms, noticed one was bad and pitched it like an absolute hero
I mean, that cutscene where he comes to your door lowkey feels like he's threatening you until the point he says he's happy you moved there.
'Nice spicy eel you got there. Would be a real shame if someone poisoned it'
I literally opened my mouth in bare shock when you've gotten the Hot Java ring out of rare chest on floor 9 in the Volcano because in my current playthrough I really want to get one but after like a month of everyday grinding for it I've still got none! Just wanted to share my emotions lol. Really liked the video, it was very-very interesting to see something new (atleast for me) like that!
Hearing you say that you've never gotten a living hat is yet another affirmation to me that my beginners luck is the bane of peoples existence. I had played maybe 4-5 hours of stardew in multiplayer, opened up a single player file to mess around with it myself
And got a living hat on day 3 while cleaning things up. This is after I got ancient seed in like the first three days of mining in Multiplayer stardew.
I've never been that lucky in a game before and I think this is the funniest thing
The island farmhouse comes with a free fridge... A free chest to put stuff in
this is such a sick idea
I know this is late, but "Kent sends you bombs in the mail, which is normal" had me dying
I’ve watched A LOT of stardew videos but this has left me legitimately amazed and very impressed! This.was.incredible. And I didn’t think it was even possible but you did it, wow, congratulations!
The first wall nut you collect doesn’t count until you reach the wall nut room
Your suspicion is right. The room counter is one low, so you need 101 walnuts to get into the Qi room.
I just wanted you to know that the rocks on the farm always give you one experience so the rocks that you exploded may not have had any coal at all.
this man is both the most inexperienced and somehow experienced farmer i've ever see
" the ONLY MOD IM USING IS EXPERIENCE BARS! "

This was super cool! I'm surpised there hasn't been a Low% run before, and the discoveries you made about the game and the wiki are really interesting and exciting! Cheers!
Incredible video!! I loved this run, can’t wait to see if others try to optimize it further or speedrun it. The routing you did is super impressive!!
Oh, this was a wonderful watch. I really enjoyed the variety of strategies used here and the how much planning ahead was needed throughout. Really great video!
I think I've watched a bit of one of these streams. This is perseverance and patience defined. Big respect! ❤
ummm have you ever seen argon’s no level up challenge… if you were to do this again you could possibly employ some of the strategies he used in that run.
I’ve watched it as background noise, but I don’t remember all of the in depth strategies. Also I don’t think I’ll ever do this again lol
Cool! I only really watched it once and then started watching his perfection runs, so was just thinking his strategies might help in anyone’s future attempts of this.
I mean cheating with multiplayer to bypass and get over 100 xp gained is a little cheaty
But if you wanted it could make this run extremely easy, get friends, give them copper axe, have them chop down 7 hardwood stumps, destroy house and rebuild, new player and the xp ""never"" passes level 2 which is the requirement of this run
@@ravenman4228
That wouldn't be needed, because you can gain one level with this ruleset which can be used for farming, and that lets you get all the quality crops while still leaving a bunch of XP to use for Tulips for the 5 walnuts on Ginger island.
@@KCzz15 You'd still need to farm for the hardwood though, and using the cheaty multiplayer methods he could have shaved off all the hours getting hardwood
Argon waited over a hundred years to get the eggs and you got them first year! impressive! (he needed them for a minimum cash run)
this is such a great video. i clicked immediately bc i love your videos. i hope to watch more funky concept/ playthrough ones
this is fascinating! i really like the creative solutions you've come up with for this
I love the selection of nintendo music used in the video, it really opens my heart for nostalgia, and also a good video to watch. Good Job.
This was an awesome stream to watch. Congrats, Sal!
This is reaaallly fun to watch. I appreciate your dedication to do this. Keep going, pal.
This was amazing! Thank you for doing it and posting the results!
Yes I'd really enjoy seeing more unusual runs! So fun to challenge yourself in this game
Ok, so, since this info apperantly isn't common knowledge:
CUTTING THE SMALL LOGS DOESN'T GIVE EXP!
It never has and is confirmed if you use the UI Info Suite mod and if you watched the "beating Stardew Valley without gaining levels" video.
Edit: i see now this was adressed in the video. ^^*
Love this video, the concept, and the music that went with it. Very relaxing altogether
I loved this, great job, can't wait for the next one ❤
Wait… the travelling cart at the beginning had copper ore, couldn’t you have bought that in order to get the furnace recipe from Clint?
Edit: I forgot about the crafting % since it wasn’t in the intro and I’m an airhead 💀
i got a meteor in the first year and it landed right in the middle of the path i made to the mountains. i still haven’t been able to break it, but it’s grown on me, i don’t think my farm would feel the same without it.
This video was very nice and relaxing to watch and interesting for a seasoned stardew player, really good stuff!!
Thank you for this. I loved this vid very much and you did prove the whole internet wrong. Great content as always
The living hat is funny because i just bought stardew on switch so i can play it when im not feeling good and in bed and don't feel like being on my PC, and i got the living hat on the first day. im now on the second week in the switch version with my Living Hat on XD
Since you were allowed 1 level in any category, you could've levelled Foraging to 1 to get the first Gold Coconut faster.
thank you for this video, it brightened my day a lot
Watching this for the umpteen-millionth time and realized that when you gave Sandy the pearl before buying those 10 coconuts she responds with her "Ooo i love getting flowers from the valley" response. Does that mean she only has 1 response for loved items? Interesting.
Oh boy wait until you gift Abigail a non food item 😂
Funny enough, through watching this video of an imperfection run, you helped me towards perfection. For a little background, I've got a save I've played 6 in game years on (going into year 7, currently in winter.) I didn't try for perfection until year 5, just played how I felt like playing. And I've been stuck at 127 golden walnuts, trying to wrack my brain for which ones at this point I could be missing.
Then you brought up the pirates. And I've visited the pirates once. Never got those 3 golden walnuts.
So, thank you for through your imperfection run, getting me closer to my goal of getting my first perfection save 😂
Another video I didn't know I needed ❤ ty for this gem
this was really well made :) the music in the background was so happy
awesome run! i love seeing low % runs!
it's legitimately interesting how much actual work you have to do to do "less things"
Very well edited, great video and story telling! Love it
finally i found another youtuber who can make a good video that i can be interested in and its calming and i can fall asleep to. that takes effort, amazing
A red mushroom, something that was in that first traveling trader, is part of the exotic forgetting bundle. Meaning you could have gotten 4 items for one bundle at of one merchant and could have had that bundle done by the 15th.
I know it's just a typo, but I find it highly amusing that he 'forgot' the red mushroom is part of the exotic foraging bundle and then you called it the exotic 'forgetting' bundle 😂

Congratulations, you did it. This idea is very original. I appreciate it. ❤
great run, glad to be able to catch some of it live! 💜
48:39 I did not expect that joke and I CACKLED.
I know that somewhere someone (probably BlaDe) figured out that the first golden walnut that you give to the bird doesn't count towards the door but does count towards perfection. In my experience, I'm pretty diligent about keeping score in my own games & almost always know how many I've collected by door count. The perfection tracker always reads 1 more than whatever that number is for me. (for example, If i had 99 walnuts and finished the snake skeleton, i know the perfection tracker will read 103 when I enter the room, even through 99+3 =102).
That was a really cool run! Awesome video!! :)
The dedication is amazing 💯
Bro actually got the living hat!!
Honestly I really dig the stream footage
Damn this is insane!! Amazing job
Your content is great! I really love it.
48:39 bro listen. ive watched this video no less than two dozen times (its a fav to put on for bed) and i just. JUST. got this fucking joke. jesus
and act like i dont know no body ak ak ak ak ak
This makes me want to play SDV again 😅
Nothing this crazy, maybe just a fun run where I pick skills I never touch.
Last time I played SDV, was before the island update 😂
I found your videos recently. Your voice is very soothing and I’ve been listening to these at work (tax season lol.) I tend to play stardew with 25% profit margin because I hate myself
amazing job! what a fun concept
I got a living hat on my first playthrough in spring and didn't even know it was rare lol
22:24 he forgor 😢
First vid of yours I’ve seen.
I’m old enough to own property and drink- (I am not a child)- and the fact you’re not swearing is a golden quality I don’t see much anymore in UA-camrs. Thank you. And your joke “Mango is to blow up”- I immediately closed full screen, hit the like button, hit subscribe, 10/10 UA-camr
cool video. it reminded me a lot of argon matrix's challenge (the price of perfection , the no level challenge or he's ironman challenge he does currently) and it was really fun to watch good job
