This definitely took practice and routing but the strats he used were extremely risky and probably not marathon safe. That is a shame but at least he isnt using that stupid club glitch so I give him credit where it is due. Edit at 37:00, never mind.

      TUME 1 Witcher 3 100% (no paid dlc) record is ~20h. Witcher and Witcher 2 would be weird to do 100% because of the branching paths, but I guess it could be max% instead. Neither of those runs would be as long as TW3 100%, TW2 has actual useful glitches and TW1 doesn’t have the same amount of content and massive glitch potential

    Suffice to say, I was very confused how I was meant to play that perfectly and survive when you couldn't kill the underground skeletons, but I wasn thoroughyl enjoying every second of it. But once I found the 'correct' way I was severely dissapointed with how easy the game was supposed to be out the get go. 3 days playing it so far.

      @184fish 4 роки тому +5

      Bit late to reply, but her questline ends with her leaving, so the agreed rules are just that she has to be gone from Blightown at the end of the run. If you ignore her completely and kill BoC, that's the result, but if you upgraded the pyro flame to spawn her, you would need to buy everything and upgrade the flame to make her leave which takes longer.

    • @rafaelt1772
      @rafaelt1772 2 роки тому +3

      DS1 levelling system works in a way where when you reach a certain number, the stat increase starts to plateau. For example (and the numbers are just for illustration's sake, they are not accurate), if you level up Vitality from 11 to 12, you're gonna get +50 total HP. The same goes if you level it further from 12 to 13, 13 to 14 and so on. But at one point, usually when you reach level 40, your gains start to diminish. So from 40 to 41, instead of the usual +50HP, you're gonna get +10HP. So in the speedrunner's case, leveling up everything to max level isn't worth it at all. The Vitality gains would just get in the way of the ring setup that makes you deal almost double damage when below 20% health. The Stamina gains are only really worth it until you have enough equip load to be able to fast roll, and Strenght and Dexterity, the last two important stats, plateau so hard at level 40 that continuing to level them up would waste more time than it would save from dealing that small extra damage. That's about all there is to it, hope I cleared it up.

    wouldnt call it a true 100% didnt get every item
    killed me when he didnt picked up the item from the chest he killed

      Didn't you listen? What they mean by 100% is: all permanent changes to the game world and non respawnable items/monsters. They never said anything about getting every item.

      @DawnWatch your thinking of a 110% run that's to get literally everything in the game

      Adding from what other already said: he is picking up almost every chest item, it's just that most of them overflow from his inventory and thus are automatically dropped on the floor.

    I can’t imagine that quitting out so many times is faster than just killing a few guys.

    • @SarkenHS
      @SarkenHS 4 роки тому +4

      We might also add that even if the risk is very low, taking any uesless risk fighting annoying ennemies could result in death and thus net time loss. As you could see through the run, he did die a few times because of normal mob doing wtf stuff.
      Also, in case you're wondering, they're excluding loading time to make it fair for people having lower end computer who have slower time loads.

  • @TheRustedShackleford
    @TheRustedShackleford 4 роки тому

    Cool run, but the quitting out every 30 seconds is super lame. Especially when it's just to de-agro enemies.

    • @SarkenHS
      @SarkenHS 4 роки тому +8

      That's the life of a speedrunner xD. If you need to be lame to waste less time, you do it.
      In some rpg like final fantasy, they loose on purpose on some fights because it's faster to just have the "lost result" than the win one xD.
      But to explain in more detail, it's actually more than de agro ennemies. Here's the full consequences:
      - those simple ennemies, while easy to defeat, still have a low chance of killing you and making you loose lot of time (you could see it in that very run when he died from simple error against simple trash mob). Sure the chances are very low, but multiply that by the numerous ennemies he's skipping with the quit-out...
      - like they said often too, there's lot of ranged ennemies, and it's sometimes hard to see arrow coming from nowhere while you're on a ladder, etc. It's even more dangerous when they can't use armor 'cause they need to go fast
      - finally, it's the most "important" reason a in way, they use the game time to judge a length run, meaning they exclude loading time. The reason they do that is because loading times in dark souls (like a lot of pc games) are heavily dependant on a computer system and thus would be unfair for people having slower computer. So since they don't account for loading time, it's "faster" versus fighting ennemes wich would be accounted for.

    i dont get it, he wastes time
    and then talks about saving time...
    if he has to pick up any item anyway why not just go through the levels.....
    besides that cool routing to 100% that game in 4 hours
    took me 40 hours first playthrough
    and then 20 hours to 100% with a guide
    well i didnt use any glitches but i did find some of those skips

    • @jordibear
      @jordibear 4 роки тому +9

      The answer is fairly obvious... because it's faster. Just "going through the levels" as a casual player would is very slow, and so doing this routing is just faster.

    • @Bubbl3Bubbl3gum
      @Bubbl3Bubbl3gum 4 роки тому +8

      @@jordibear Indeed. Whenever the question arises "why not do x...?" the answer in speedruns always is "because its faster that way"

    • @SarkenHS
      @SarkenHS 4 роки тому +6

      To add to what other said, did you even listen to what they said?
      Most of the times, when they got back to an already visited area, they DID explained why they would only complete them "now instead of sooner".
      To sum it up for you, the most recurring reason is because of the routing: some late game stuff are near some beginning stuff.
      So instead of going all of the beginning stuff THEN having to go back a second time for the end game stuff, they do it in one go.
      Another reason that should be fairly obvious when you play RPG: because you're way stronger. It's far easier exploring and killing ennemies when you have OP weapon and spells (especially the Soul Spear / Dark Bead to OS ennemies, the Invisibiliy stuff to attract ennemies less often and the fall control for smoother exploration) ^^, and more resistances.
