For those curious - Yes I plan on continuing through the whole game, though i have my doubts about being about to complete gnasty gnorc... This is Vortex% which means i am simply trying to reach every exit level vortex before moving on. no gems or dragons are required. the all worlds and 99 lives cheat are allowed. This is the first VORETX artisans blindfolded, but not the first any% artisans blindfolded - ua-cam.com/video/KAjzFYjVzck/v-deo.htmlsi=XscQEXCRfdTU7cKq
Dude, this is so cool! I will admit, I didn't think Spyro would lend itself to any viable blindfolded strats, but this run really opened my eyes to the possibility (Or is that closing them in this case?) Like the fact that freeing dragons will always orient Spyro to be facing them in the same way, making them a consistent method of knowing exactly where you're facing for what comes next. Or the shimmery sound that vortexes make, making it possible to locate them even if you're not quite on point with the approach. And being able to use the sound of gems to aid in knowing where you are in a level (though if a level reset is needed, you could no longer rely on that to help, which is pretty rough) Lastly one thing I absolutely adore is just how useful the roll is! I've always had a soft spot for this cute silly roll that's completely impractical 99% of the time in casual gameplay, but here it is crazy functional in how it can strafe Spyro around without needing to change where he's facing, making lining stuff up actually viable. Which for a platformer with no auto-ledge grab or fixed camera angles, something like this is crucial for even having a realistic chance of completion. Amazing work here Dayo, best of luck with the rest of the levels. Excited to see how far you can take it! There are some that I can imagine being nigh impossible to do blindfolded, at least with any consistency, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Thank you dayo for the link in your pinned comment! Running spyro blind has interested me for a while so i ended up running an any% of artisans, i was unable to get past peacekeepers. This was before i knew about vortex. Great work and love the video!
I couldn't stay for it on stream but man, this is epic. It is pretty impressive that you could make it to the Balloonist despite having a different spawn there. It shows the amount of knowledge you've acquired researching on these methods. It's awesome. :D
There's so much room for improvement in this category. I assume you have the sound in stereo? You could use directional sound cues from gems, enemies and portals combined with your world layout knowledge to better work out where you are without having to memorise rolling x amount of times.
thats a cool one for gdq or esa i think. 30 mins tops if you have to full reset for some reason. full game would be INSANE tho, think some of the later levels like icy caverns or loftyy will probably be giga hard tho
IMO for purpose of legitimacy you should turn around and play without facing the screen because im pretty sure some light had reached your eyes even with that blindfold
I don't think it matters at all. It's not like he can faintly see spyros outline. And the lighting is pretty static per level so it's not like there's any information he could glean if he could see anything. I mean I think dayos proven himself to be credible and not a cheat. But go buy a blindfold and watch your favorite show and see if you can make out any familiar silhouettes or something. You won't be able to

I don't like being so skeptical on these, but I feel further posted runs with the new blindfold will help us doubters
@@curtiscoffin2255 Watch his VODs over the last week (he usually does blindfold practice at the end) - it's legit.
Dayo un ban me
just turn off the TV.
was it necessary not to have a shirt?🤣 i came to see a spyro challenge and instead i got a challenge to my sexuality 🥲
