Eli actually works for some special effects studio and is currently making bank. He stopped doing halo stuff when microsoft (not 343) force changed his name because "nak3d" is suggestive. He was slowly losing interest in halo in general but that was the final nail for him. He also apparently got some disease or illness that has made it hard for him to speak for very long terms, like 2-4 hours a day. So even if he was still into content creating it would be very spaced out due to this. He also got married around 2017/18 something like that. I had to ask Joker who was the Halo 4 speedrunner during Eli's day cause they used to make videos together. Eli was a treasure to the semi-hardcore casual group and will forever be missed
I remember binging Eli's zero shot runs back in 2014 on my older sister's 3ds lol. It sucks that he's gone. Quitting just because of the name is stupid, but the other reasons he quit are pretty valid.
I'm here before you blow up. I appreciate how detailed you are, very rare with smaller channels. I actually learned a few things I never knew from this video like the sentinels at the end of 343 Guilty Spark or that the banshee doesn't need to be flown out to finish Keyes. I've done just about everything including LASO yet never knew those two things lol. Extremely underrated and can't wait to see you succeed even more.
I really went to subscribe and audibly gasped when I saw how little subscribers you had. You deserve more for this quality content, keep up the good work.
Holy shit. I didn't even notice. How does this dude have fewer subscribers than my garbage channel?! (Not this account. It's like 6k and I stopped making videos a while ago. XD)
My legendary campaign time: The Pillar of Autumn: 00:07:18 Halo: 00:17:44 The Truth And Reconciliation: 00:15:34 The Silent Cartographer: 00:08:44 Assault On The Control Room: 00:09:39 343 Guilty Spark: 00:09:40 The Library: 00:16:37 Two betrayals: 00:18:09 Keyes: 00:03:43 The Maw: 00:12:27
My mind is blown by how quickly you did SC, I had no Idea the warthog fling through the door and the cutscene skip were even a thing! Great video, you earned my sub.
very impressive work and great vid! especially the Truth and Reconciliation level, looked like Master Chief from the books was on screen for a little while.
I would totally watch you live stream these runs. I imagine you've improved quite a bit since the making of this video. Your commentary is very entertaining and informative as well, which is very appreciated 😀
@frogarchist thanks for the heads up! I'll check some out. Do you usually post in advance when you'll be streaming here and on twitch? I'll follow you there too
@noctyd9322 UA-cam streams I'll create a few hours in advance so they're visible and I'll usually make a community post. Twitch streams are just whenever I feel like playing and don't want to stream on UA-cam.
I appreciate the optimization using the easier strats. I'm doing a co-op LASO run with my brother and the speedrun tricks help make it possible. We're currently on assault on the control room and I need to learn the banshee grab.
@@frogarchist I just pulled it off a few hours ago. It's a little harder/more RNG on LASO because of the exploding grunts. If the grunt spawns on the right his explosion usually kills me. That was a welcome treat for such a fast level in the playlist.
Honestly this was some great quality content. Definitely earned my sub😁👍, I'll certainly be researching a few of these tricks myself when i get to goat roped. Especially the banshee on TB, that par score i have yet to get.
CE was the first game I ever played at an age where I shouldn't have been playing video games it's so nostalgic for me and I still go back to it every now and again. I also have a love for Halo Custom Edition the firefight and single player maps were tons of fun to play around in
Great content, great editing, and great speedruns. Can't believe you had to remind me it's been SEVEN years since Eli called it quits, but you're doing a more than capable job of filling the gap he left behind.
I might try this myself. I need these legendary under x hours achievements. I haven't played Halo for a while, but the same can be said for when I did all the LASO achievements.
Can you continue this series of Beating (ALL) Halo games in _ Minutes? Seriously enjoy the content! The editing, gameplay and explanations of speed running tricks is great! I enjoy it because you’re learning the tricks as well, and not a 15 year veteran boringly explaining how to do so! (Not saying that’s bad; I don’t mind walk through tutorials) I just like the way you go about it. Also collecting achievements and learning how to run these games is entertaining! I can see this channel getting bigger, and also maybe branching into different games, learning the tricks and making more content to keep it going! Best of luck! 🤙🏽 liked and subbed.
I will at some point. The issue with it being a regular series is that it takes a ton of time. Each game is a completely different speed run, and I'd have to start from scratch. So, it's more likely something that I'll add to every few months rather than every few weeks.
@@frogarchist oh yes definitely!! I forgot to mention just that. I’ll be excited to see the uploads and progress you make in the future! Again best of luck with everything keep up the great work! 🤙🏽
Despite banshee grab being the easier one for some reason i just couldn't get it so i opted for the bridge fall, was much more consistent with it. Can never get bored of playing this game.
if you attempted it sometime in the fall last year, I think 343 accidentally changed the flight patterns and made it impossible to do it, they fixed it around December last year though
Checkpoint manager is so OP. You can launch game in no anticheat mode, use checkpoint manager to get to the end of laso playlist levels (it has god mode/teleporting) and force a checkpoint. Save, quit, load regular version of MCC, resume game and boom level done and counts for achievements/leaderboard
I remember when Halo 3 was coming out G4 TV had a live show of a big midnight release of it and had 2 guys playing Halo 1 on legendary before midnight and I think they beat it with only a few minutes left.
I’m typically a lurker but for some reason I’ve begun replaying all the halo games to beat par score. I liked your walk through on the cartographer video. Can you make more for every halo level? Im not sure if you speed run all the games. Great videos thank you.
My legendary HCE time is 1:52:43 My keys time is 1:41 I have all campaigns under 3 hours. Monopoly achievement was the most fun. (Halo 2 legendary under 3 hours)😊
I swear the banshee skip on AotC is the least consistent thing I've done in my life. Sometimes I get it first try perfectly and other times I spend 30 minutes failing it
Your grenades actually do more damage on lower difficulties, so on any difficulty other than legendary, having Boom on would definitely kill you. Don't know about Legendary, though. On T&R, you could do the first jump for sure because of the overshield and then just walk to the third floor on the normal path.
That gs time really hurts my soul because the very first time I played halo every time I would get to that mission I would get about halfway through get lost and being that I had the shortest attention span a 10 year old could have and that mission scaring me shitless at the time I would just restart the game and play every other mission up until I got lost in that bunker this went on for about three months before I finally figured out how to get out 😂

I mean he had a kid no?
Oh badass! I love to hear that, I missed Eli. His style still inspires me
Wherever you are Eli if your out there, we miss you

I remember when I finally got the achievement for Halo CE in under 3 hours, such a sigh of relief! I then tried Halo 2 and quit.
Halo 2 on legendary is hard as fuck
@@joequiroz862 fuck that. I’ve gotten too angry trying to get every achievement
@@joequiroz862it can’t be literally just run through shit unless you gotta kill certain shit to progress
@@TooMuchSmoke That's the thing, you can't. There are many scenarios where the enemies will instantly kill you if you even try
I got Halo CE and Halo 2 but I need to finish Halo 4 legendary and I dislike the game so I have been beating around the bush to finish it.
Damn when you said ten years ago with MCC it set in how fast time passes 😅 keep up the solid content!!
I feel old now!
I thought to myself “there’s NO way” but then remembered that the Xbox One has been out since 2013
Bruh, I felt physical and spiritual pain when he said that, like all the weight of the endless years crashed down upon me at once
You should have more subs. Some high quality content here.

This is insanely impressive! Though I'm still terrified when it comes to the tricks on Guilty spark and two betrayals lol
After watching this I just manged to get a 2:52 on keys legendary Thanks to you brother ! :)
@@Jjz0289I’m working on getting flood bump right now. Driving me nuts lol
12:00 I think CE runners might be giving the wrong impression with the constant complaining about stick stack lmao.
Great vid, very informative.
That's high praise from the best CE speedrunner alive, so thanks a lot
You deserve more subs man you're a world record runner, impressive.
Just finished playing this with my sister two nights ago and its funny to compare our runs, great vid and excited to see how your channel progresses!
Always nice seeing more people learn the newer CE tricks
Nice times. 👍
Thanks for the comment and thanks for your Maw reactor room tutorial

Very humble player. I see a lot of difficult maneuvers here. Well done.
very impressive work and great vid! especially the Truth and Reconciliation level, looked like Master Chief from the books was on screen for a little while.
Haha
Saw u in my recommended and I’m so happy 😊
I've been watching Halo CE speedruns for 22 years and you've done a great job with this guide man.
I've only watched the intro so far, and this is one of the best put together videos I've ever watched. Thank you.
Great content glad I found your channel
Naked Eli was the goat, helped me get my helioskrill armor in H5. It’s a shame that Microsoft banned his name.
I use to watch a good amount of speed running back when I was little, so I'll gladly be here when you do more speedrunning stuff.
Weirdly wanna see you do this for all the games now, but I know that would be a torturous process lmao, great vid.
I did a playthrough of Halo 2 for a video and that took me 7 hours to beat so probably gonna be a while lol
@@frogarchist Oh Christ...Will definitely look at that soon haha.
I would totally watch you live stream these runs. I imagine you've improved quite a bit since the making of this video. Your commentary is very entertaining and informative as well, which is very appreciated 😀

Always been a huge fan of the Guilty spark strats, favourite level to run
Someone get this guy more subs. Awesome content
this was insane to watch. amazing job dude
Well done on your times. Gonna try some of those tricks. A few of them i think I’d get to frustrated with.
I appreciate the optimization using the easier strats. I'm doing a co-op LASO run with my brother and the speedrun tricks help make it possible. We're currently on assault on the control room and I need to learn the banshee grab.
Banshee grab looks way harder than it really is. I'd recommend Chronos's tutorial

Great video. Thank you for giving exposure to the Halo speed running community.
That Banshee trick on Control Room is amazing! I've always loved and had trouble with the Bridge Jump
Naked Eli got banned from Xbox Live for his gamertag so he quit Halo forever
Yeah, I remember the video he used to have up about it
Hopefully he never deletes his guides
I'm preparing to play every game on Legendary in one sitting......so this is helpful.
It seems you're hitting the UA-cam algorithm full-stride, brother 0.0 Keep it up!
Had my chinese midnight McDonald's with this video, very interesting to watch, keep it up
It's interesting to stumble across this again now that you're in the top 10
My jaw dropped seeing the banshee trick on AOTC 🤯 whoa mane
The man needs more subscribers, damnit.

Gotta love the South Park montage song input.
i struggle immensely with low legendary times in halo ce and 2. good job on truth and reconciliation
hey ur vids are super cool thanks for putting out banger content
Garish is the GOAT at speed running he set and beat the world record multiple times. He's on another level
Ahh yes, Halo speed run just means Chief swaps sides and murders everybody lol
Just got into this channel, I like Halo but as someone new to speedrunning it's pretty great
19:55 "Because of my struggles with TB"
I am sorry to hear that😢
Love ya frog
makes me want to start speedrunning, good vid
2:40 Are you still planning on livestreaming full game attempts?
I have a couple of times. I will again in the future.
Got a sub from me. I also found myself watching naked Eli and ended up grinding all the speedrunning achievements. Are you going for 100%?
Nah, I don't really care about achievements anymore. Or at least not enough to get all 700 in the game.
@@frogarchist fair enough lol I’m on that journey now. Love your halo videos man.
Lmao the title was cut off for me in the home page I thought he was gonna do it in just 9 minutes
nak3d eli is my childhood, im glad people still respect him a ton
I barely got it done in under 3 hours - Speedrunners are something else
Great trick on blowing up the reactors I tried it and it was really cool 20:22
When he said almost 10 years ago with the master cheif collection my face recoiled
Great that you gave credit to Nak3d Eli. Unfortunately YT shut dow his channel due to the whole "naked" thing
Old school escape a classic :D I used that too in Silent Cartographer
I was just gonna comment on how it took me 2 hours to beat truth and reconciliation after starting CE recently but you beat me to it
I remember when Halo 3 was coming out G4 TV had a live show of a big midnight release of it and had 2 guys playing Halo 1 on legendary before midnight and I think they beat it with only a few minutes left.
Yo that's a throwback to hear Eli's name. Miss him so bad.
This makes me wanna play halo again! Who knew that would happen lol!
Nak3d Eli was one of the first halo youtubers i started following during halo reach, i miss him :(
I know this is supposed to be the most “fair” halo game but sometimes it really doesn’t feel like it
"Almost 10 years ago when MCC released " Damn I'm getting old

If you use the boom/sputnik skull to make grenade jumps easier, does it still count for the achievement?
I think you can use any skull that doesn't have a 0x multiplier
@@frogarchist Oh nice that could probably make Truth and Reconciliation triple grenade jump quite a bit easier I imagine

On T&R, you could do the first jump for sure because of the overshield and then just walk to the third floor on the normal path.
And to this day doing beating all campaigns under 3 hours is something I will never be able to do because how unlucky I am with the enemies
"it's funny, this level is a lot like pillar of autumn"
you don't say
A speed runner took him over 4 hours and he lowered difficulty twice?
It later turned out he faked some of his runs
@@frogarchist i take it back. He is a real speed runner. Only real speed runners fake their runs.
You can actually frag grenade jump through the half open doors in the library
I do. The ones I was waiting at you have to bump through
