- Today we delve into another Skyward Sword bird statue that holds some huge potential for saving time in speedruns of the game...if only we could access it under certain conditions...

It's so brutal how SS has all these amazing possibilities for massive time saves but they are all just barely out of reach. It's almost like Nintendo knows, and does it on purpose lol!
Nintendo:"Let's endulge in a little bit of tomfoolery."
I love how it basically took programming to actually advance Skyward Sword speedrunning to a much shorter time by literally being able to skip all those problems. That’s how unintentionally thorough they were in making Skyward Sword.
@@lpfan4491 *Spongebob tomfoolery starts playing*
I hate how linear the game is. There is no room whatsoever for deviating from the norm.
@@mrlarvux its a zelda game, aside from botw theyre almost all linear with some very few deviations
Additionally, on the Wii version, this would allow us to skip the harp, the Batreaux RBM to get to the harp, and the need for the 9x04 flag to gain access to Batreaux (which means no more Eldin EB!)
So it's like 5 minutes of time save
I can't express how excited I get for new elusive glitch videos.
That's why Gymnast did not play yesterday and 2 days ago.
I get sad

Let me guess; it's another invisible wall isn't it?

Ahh, classic Nintendo, your Wind Waker is showing.
Perhaps shenanigans from the loftwing amiibo can save the day for SSHD…
Amiibo generally aren't allowed in speedruns
@@CptObvious They use it in sshd any% to save a bit of time traveling.
You unfortunately cannot use the amiibo in Hylia's Realm. This is likely because it's in the past, so you're not supposed to be able to go to the sky.
Good thing the actual solution involving loading up Ghirahim 3 time trial as the actual battle (in the HD version) involves no amiibo, so the HD version will not require purchasing side products.
0:10 Would you like the smol HD version for the Wii, or the big HD version for the Switch?
Little known fact, they didn't actually remaster the game for the Switch, they just made it bigger
Crazy. This one solved as well, and by the man himself to boot. If you’re reading this Gym, congrats!!
6:18 Something you overlooked here: That door isn't actually open until you beat the Horde fight. Well, I guess it doesn't really affect anything anyway.
Yeah, Peppernicus mentioned that detail to me but I didn't feel like it was super important to include since the theory of going in and out of the door doesn't work anyway with our current knowledge.
Technically you can unlock the door by starting the Horde fight in boss rush and then dying. So it all works fine, it's just an extra step compared to what's shown in the video.
I think another way this could all work is if we can open the OoB Behind the Temple Door in Hylia's Temple, which warps us to the Horde cutscene (with a forced layer 13 load). If you haven't watched the cutscene yet you can just skip it and get to the final boss gauntlet. But at this point it has nothing to do with the statue anymore and this is a different elusive glitch I guess.
Love these tutorial videos. Opening up SSHD running is awesome.
Glad to see another episode of this series.
Please do more elusive glitches videos! They're really fun and entertaining and you explain everything very well!
Finally it’s been forever
So glad you're still doing these elusive glitches videos!! They're my favorite series on UA-cam rn
I've never even played SS let alone speedran it, but these videos are still always interesting to watch
You should make some sort of video going through how the skyward sword any% speedrun has gotten to where it is today. These videos where you go through possible glitches and how others were discovered are so interesting to watch
The Wind Waker foresaw this. One day, our children may speak of the 40-minute SS Barrier Skip.
That day is today.
So cool to see this one fell too!
a poetic sign off! great addition to the series, gym :)
You should make a vid at some point about the major differences in runs between HD and the original. I’d be super interested to hear!
i love the elusive glitches videos, its how i found your chanel and why i still rewatch today, i get they are very popular so you probably get lots of requests to do more but at very least i can say they give a little enjoyment to my life so thank you for that
And solved, even in the HD version
Finally another episode in the Elusive Glitches saga. I've been waiting a long time for this.
I absolutely love this video series. As always, well structured and very informative!
A new elusive Glitches Video? I think I'm dreaming.
Another fantastic and frustrating elusive glitches.
Maybe one day we'll get those timesaves
Let's goo the best series is back
These kind of videos I really really like. Keep them up man!
Awwwwww, i feel bad that the solution wasnt found in the video, feels bad man.
Goodness, the 3D Legend of Zelda games are really freaking hard to break.
laughs in OOT
These are always a treat to watch... oh the possibilities
It throws me off how different script Gym sounds from non script Gym
Love the elusive glitches series
Great analysis! Thanks for uploading! Hopefully the skips & tricks will be found someday!
yay, elusive glitches are back!! Well I guess that's semi-bad news for you since they're frustrating, but glitch explanations are cool!
BOTW: walls aren’t real
Skyward sword: you cannot escape these walls muwhahahaha
I have been waiting for so long for another video in this series or like the ones you made for Lowest Percent WOOOOOOOOO
I LOVE the elusive glitch series omg
4:08 Hey, ashleydarkboss!
At last
This game is almost unbelievable
Oh yes, it's one of those videos! EXCITEMET
Fantastic video, loved every second of it
When he said, the horde when your playing through it the flag goes away when you save at the statue then reset the game thinks your in the real fight same thing with ghirahim 3 clip glitch.
your username sounds like gymnastics, if it's on purpose that's pretty pog
The new barrier skip.
Has there been research as to why you can clip through that wall in the girahim fight? Like if it’s collision overlapping, are there any other points in the fight (or the game) that could have similarly simple clips?
When they add the wall behind Link when he enters the arena they probably didn't align it perfectly and left like 1 pixel of space.
It's a special case since that wall "closes" behind link instead of being closed always
You showed the hd logo for both wii and switch
Maybe one can hop the wall as usual by climbing the wooden shield of a big dude, but instead of landing down, landing on the edge behind the wall, then walking along the wall to the bird statue? And to get out later, get behind the statue and use bombs etc. to push one through the wall etc. or die to respawn somewhere else at the start of the fight?
it only would save 1-2 minutes on wii? I thought it would be more like 10
man that's frustratingly close! it's like, i dunno, losing the Superbowl cos you were 1 yd short =[
New episode let’s go
Tell all the explorers. Tell them to find a way for speedrunners. They will become powerful.
Video isn't loading for me for some reason :(
What if you tried to clip on the opposite corner of the formed gate during Giraham 3?
Glitch hunters have tried, but nobody has successfully clipped on the opposite corner as far as we know.
I love your videos :D
I lovee this serie so much !
is this the last one?
Maybe test the collition from the above ledges and drop down to the statue?
Unlikely, the clipping corner is probably weak because the collision changes state between the first phase of the Horde fight and when you enter the central arena. The only other option would be to perfectly manipulate a Moblin to allow jumping over, like it's done with Horde skip, but it would be TAS only, and it doesn't really help since we're trying to get to it from the Ghirahim fight, and unless some way to cancel voidouts is discovered, it's only possible on Phase 2, which starts on the ground and with no way to gain height, unless new glitches are found.
One sorta promising idea I just had, which would be just another Elusive Glitch to add to the list, is to somehow trick the game into thinking we're into an Imprisoned fight while we're in the Ghirahim 3 fight, activating the center upcurrent.
Nice.
This is a nice video
It's actually amazing how the devs being lazy and not changing OoB collission somehow made it less broken. I guess sometimes true genius is accidential, even if it is to the detriment of a portion of the end users this time.
is it not possible to jump on the barrier near the top of the spiral using a jump slash
The entire inner edge of the spiral is walled off. If a jump slash doesn't work at the bottom, it will not work at the top either.
That said, I seem to recall a minor skip that involved running up a moblin's shield to clear one of the checkpoints. Perhaps a moblin can be kited above the bird statue, enabling the player to clear the wall and crash down in that area. The problem then is escaping afterward, which would require a bitwarp if the player's only means of gaining altitude were left halfway up the slope.
neat
Entrance Animation Transfer to escape the walls?
There’s no good entrance animation to use
3:52 ha
Without back in time HD is doomed to be a sad HD
Skyward sword barrier skip
I watched a video of this guy called gymnast86 that showed how to access this statue early (at least for the Wii version).
Now solved for HD as well!
Shoutouts to YourAverageLink ua-cam.com/video/HjRz7kynY-I/v-deo.html
Your* but thanks
@@YourAverageLink oops.
5:01 I can't bro, the background footage is so funny with Link being bombarded with arrows and the game takes a sec to put a smile on his face exclaiming "YOU GOT AN ARROW!"
Its crazy that it took 9 months to set it up perfectly
Actually, the original OoB clip was discovered about 15 months ago. But just think about how long RBM took to find for the Wii, haha!
Gymnast always delivers such clear/concise commentary, very interesting and enjoyable to list. Thanks Jim!
This has probably been checked, but can the bokoblins hit you through the wall? Dying might respawn you at the start of the horde fight
Ah shit here we go again
Just like barrier skip another invincible wall i hope that its not gonna take as long as barrier skip
Those invisible walls give me great anger
It wouldn't be the first time people have dedicated days to months of time finding a way to pass a seemingly impenetrable barrier for the sake of saving time on a Zelda speedrun.
Do you have to clip back in to defeat Ghirahim? Or can you attack him through the wall?
I hope and I'm sure people will find a way to make the 40 min timesave work, that would be so sick! :D
Turns out the series wasn't dead it was just hibernating. Good video!
What do you mean by rbm sequence for gate of time
Door is obvious, song of the heros
But i tought you need imprisonded 2 + Master sword to trigger gate of time
Is it rbm vaunerable or not???
This would not work on a new game because Hero Mode requires beating normal mode first.
This trick would only potentially work in Hero Mode categories.
Hey its another gymnast video on Zelda speedrunning
Yay!
YOOO IT'S ANOTHER ELUSIVE GLITCHES!
is nobody going to notice how at 0:08 he put the hd logo for the wii
Please bring back this series!
Wow, I would love to see more vídeos like this one
You are in luck! He has a small series of videos like this on his channel. The video titles all start with "Elusive glitches" so they are pretty easy to find. And they are all excellent videos, equally or more interesting then this one.
@@hyboirds1536 oh, thank you for let me know! I'll add now to my playlist and watch during the lunch
yessssssssss, i missed this series so much!
Love it. Keep it up man
🤟🏻
in most instances where a barrier clip exists, reaching the statue should in turn provide the same technique to escape it.
Theory: on a completed save (or one just before the final boss), use loftwing amibo to register a return point right next to the statue in question, load file that will execute the skip and use amibo return point that is still registered as right next to the final bird statue. Assuming it works, it skips pretty much the entirety of the game if it can bypass flags, then it is just a matter of finding a way back into the hoard or girahim fight if the barrier remains.
I don't think the loftwing amiibo would work in Hylia's Realm (aka the past).
@@FrogworfKnight hence "theory" and "assuming it works". i am generally in the same boat, but it is the most obvious solution that is left otherwise unmentioned.
Tbh accessing bosses you haven't fought yet seems a bit cheaty anyway.
Wouldn't be a problem if ng+ was an obscure category, or if you had to play through normal mode first, but bitte steht the case. It's default any% and you don't have to play through normal game before.
