Yeah, another thing is that stupid mistakes are very common even when you are not "hyper ultra deluxe stressed out" so it would probably be easy to die. Also there's almost no easy way to practice the room without assist or debug mode so you can't really get a good feel for the room.
For those who don't know the reference in the secret golden strawberry room, the green flag its a reference to the original celeste game. The green flag its the last flag in the minigame.
fun fact, if you bring the golden strawberry to the moon berry room, it actually detaches from you so you can die, respawn, then regrab the golden and go get the moonberry! perfect for true 100% speedruns.
That golden strawberry is just evil. Holy crap. "Oh you finished the level perfectly with no deaths? Surprise! There's more level that you can't retry or even look at without bringing the strawberry there!"
At the screen that leads to moonberry (the checkpoint of “Farewell”) if you die enough times this dialogue option triggers: Badeline: “Are you alright Madeline?” Madeline: “We’re so close, but it feels impossible” Bad: “Come on, just a few more tries” Bad: “We can do this” God this makes me smile. I’m sure everyone knows this already but when I first played this chapter it was 2 AM and I was tired so I may or may not have used assist mode to skip this screen oops
@@goosemchonk he mean't that he did not know it would appear in that specific part of farewell, I mean, in core level it's in the start of it, but in farewell it's in the middle of the level, so it was really unpredictable that a "heart's gate" would appear.

A Celeste speedrunner by the name of lennygold became the first person to complete the Chapter 9 golden strawberry with proof. Pretty incredible someone's already done it.
@@iamdadbod Also, i really did think Moon Berry was the only secret in Chapter 9 outside of Golden Berry (wich doesn't really count? I mean, it's in every chapter including all B and C Sides, wich is goddamn evil and i love it), so it was really nice getting to know all these secrets they tucked away!
@@iamdadbod Yeah, and i'm sure there's so many more little things they hid that are gonna be even harder to decipher, like the Kevin Audio wich somewhat hints at yet another secret Crystal Heart, and the Crystal Hear Poem too. I have yet to get all Goldens (in fact i've only completed Chapter 1 Golden as of yet), and also a few missing Strawberries here and there, so it's really not as over as we might've thought. I really look forward to what the team behind this game comes up with next, it's gonna be ridiculous!
You died with a golden berry twice in this video, but failed to mention its new death noise. Not sure if it is a secret or not, but at least mentioning is worthwhile. I ain't complaining, but bringing it to your attention.
Wait hold up matt and lena are trans too!? I've always related to the themes in this game but I didnt really understand why until now. Theres subtle hints to it all over!
Celeste: Chapter 9 - Farewell "Huh. A new level was added to Celeste. Let's see if I can beat it in study hall." 45 minutes later...

Sorry for the confusion!
iamdadbod i seriously doubt it, the devs have been working w/ some people on accessability in order to make the wording and features of assist mode more clear and accessability after all that work, adding a super tough room that only appears with assist mode on would just be a slap in the face
@@paulhenderson800 The final room doesn't look super tough; it's just the fact that it's long and you have to do it in a single try or replay the whole level.
I did Chapter 4, too. That one was a bit easy. In fact, I even managed to carry one of the very first strawberries right to the last section of the game while doing so and I have proof :3 twitter.com/ddnava/status/1141926287478366208
I can’t wait to see what mods people can make with all the chapter 9 parts. It is going to be awesome for sure (just like you and this chapter). One more thing. Here’s a strawberry 🍓 just for you (and whoever else wants it).

If you grab the golden strawberry and take it to the moon berry room where it forces you to die. The golden strawberry makes a sound effect and it lets you die without losing it
You can also get the moon berry WITH the golden strawberry. When you get to that spike part, the golden berry moves to that entrance (the place where you respawn after you die from the spike) and it makes a bell noise. There has only been i think one person who has gotten both the golden berry and moon berry at the same time. And i mean AT THE SAME TIME. The moon berry didn’t collect until he got to the top. Then, he collected both the moon berry and golden berry at the same time.
This isn't a chapter. It's an entire game. I loved dying through it 2876 times. 9+ hours well spent. ...and now you are telling me there is some sort of berry challenge? Oooph! Also: Your intro and outro really hurt my feelings xD But it would be worse to feature this level in the outro in a similar way.
I've heard there is another easter egg when using "Fwahaha" as the file name, like changing the Kevin blocks. Haven't had a chance to confirm it yet though.
All this stuff at 4:34 seems like the most interesting and I wish more people were talking about it. Could there really be a secret heart hidden somewhere? Doesn't seem likely as people can dissect the game with external software.
I'd love it if someone experienced in that matter could take a shot of Madeline from one of the cutscenes/level complete scenes and remove the colors to compare Madeline's shade of hair with Celia's. Just a thought, was thinking it'd be cool to see if Celia had red hair when she was younger.
2:00 - For the key room skip, the jump you have to get "just right", the blocks meander up and down, and you have to jump when it's on the upper part of the cycle.
In the level at 2:00 you can disable electricity with only a jelly fish (not need to unlock the double dash door) the jelly fish must be taken from the previous level then you climb on the last lock jump to the right then throw the jelly on the left so it bounce on the wall and dash up (Sorry for bad english)
During my blind playthrough I didn't know that you could reach the double Crystal so I did a short hyperjump to get onto the path the jellyfish is on, and then I could use the jellyfish from behind the door.
Once I finally got the golden strawberry to the end of Farewell, just to find out I wasn’t done, I was so pissed. But I can’t stay mad at this game because the room wasn’t as bad as getting every heart, every strawberry/golden strawberry/flying golden strawberry, moon berry, completing every b-side, every c-side, spending 59:28:30, and dying 17,325 times. This game is great and very fun to 100% percent
there is no chance you got farewell golden with a total gametime under 60 hours. would make you the single greatest player of this game ever, beating everyone else to ever do it by hundreds of hours
Such a great video about an incredible game. I hope the devs will make yet another great stories in the future (not necessarily about Madeline, although I wouldn't complain). It always amazes me how people discover these extremely well-hidden locations.
I don't know how to put this exactly, but...I made a short Touhou fangame about six months back, and the experience of putting little touches and easter eggs into it because I was passionate about it and it just "felt right" to add small extra things when I thought of them makes me appreciate how passionate the developers of Celeste were about their game. Particularly since Celeste is many, many orders of magnitude larger than anything I've ever made...
I knew there is no way I'll be able to get through chapter 9 when the PowerPoint presentation about wavedashing started,So I had to assist it through...
I straight up cried when I saw the golden room, I took a break of like 2 weeks THEN died, about 3 full runs after, I did it, but after that I went into a hiatus of like 3 months before I got to touch the game again xDDDD
I intentionally didn’t watch this video until I saw a full playthrough to not be spoiled, but I think it’s time. I believe a guy called Eenox was the first to legitimately golden strawberry this game. I even saw his “meme” run where he went through all the hard secrets, even the moon berry and the golden strawberry can be done at the same time. (In the room you have to die in the golden strawberry moves to the end of it). I fanboyed so hard when I saw the final golden room with the flag. I played the Pico-8 version in school before I even knew about Celeste being a full game. I speedran it, and one day I searched up the name and would ya know, it’s on Steam as something even greater! I’m glad this game doesn’t forget its origins. Thank you developers.
I'm not sure about this but in the room where learn for the first time how to carry the jellyfish, you can see platforms and a dash refresher above the path you're supposed to take. So that could be something but you'd need 2 dashes because that's too much height...
Sorry I haven't said anything, I was avoiding spoilers until I could get the moon berry! I completed chapter 9 in a day, but the moon berry is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be going off the hint "Go back at the end of the final screen"
When I first found the Kevin room I was terrified. I spent a straight hour researching it and couldn't find anything. The worst part was I was so scared that I literally couldn't leave.. I just wanted to find the meaning.
This level was such a wild ride for me. Shattering all my previous negative records of other levels. Most time spent in one level, went from 8 hours on Summit B (haven't touched C's yet apart from Chapter 1) to... 22 hours. Most deaths suffered in one level, went from 2.2k in Summit B to 5.1k Most frustration from missing jumps just by tiny margins or failing what feels like too much swapped from Core A&B to Farewell. I started this Chapter, thinking that it'll be a nice trip to celebrate what I had done prior. Then the lightning stikes and granny is a grave. Ouch. That hit me more than the death of my actual grandma. Because that was a shocker to me instead of me knowing that it'll be easier because she was sick and in pain. I got to the white crystal heart and assumed "Oh baby. I done it. Final Level complete" but OH NO. It continued. I struggled and got frustrated about the wavedash because I wanted to do it too fast. But calming down helped. I reached the final checkpoint and the short reassurance from Madelines other self was nice to hear. I needed that. I held through, learnt the patterns and did it. And then I went back in to get the moon berry, spending another additional 2 hours 43 in the level, giving 400 more lives. I feel accomplished now and with confidence about the C-Sides I skipped on. But I don't think I'll manage Farewell Golden any time soon..
What's funny about the demo dash room is that I knew about it, and the first time I tried going for it I kept messing up the secret entry, but when I eventually got it I managed to pull off the 2 consecutive demos first try I promptly started screaming after that
Oh man, I think I was a bit under halfway done before I decided I needed to stop. I don't know how much I'll have to redo since I don't know how much it save checkpoints you, but oh well. I'll beat it tomorrow. The moonberry shall be mine then as well!
I was hoping for some info about the jellyfish alternate route :\ when you get to the first jellyfish you can hover and then dash upwards to get to a platform higher up, that you have to do that dash long jump off of to get to a really annoying jellyfish challenge.
I think it's just an alternate route for speedrunners, as it requires you to perform wavedashes even before the game teaches you that move. Whether or not it's a faster route remains to be seen.
I'm really glad this video exists, because during the red bubble sequence after collecting all the keys I saw the openin in the crystals from where the alt route sends you out, but at the time I thought that crystal opening was a secret room that I would have to dash into from the red bubble, really glad I could just see it here so I didn't have to bother only to find nothing
I was curious about something to do with the golden and moon berry, and I wasn't willing to get the golden berry because I am no where near good enough, so I was going through then... 11:11
i actually done chapter 9 golden online and when i got to the golden room everyone was there watching me attempt it and i died the very next run i made it to the golden room and got the golden and my final berry in the game
There's more two easter eggs that was missing in the video, but it's fun to mention. One of them is in when the background turns purple, you can see that there's a broken tower there, together with a broken heart and a broken car. The tower can be a reference for Towerfall, which is a game from Matt (when he had Matt Makes Games) and Madeline makes a cameo on it. The second one stays on those blue/yellow/red/green blocks part. The second room of that part shows 4 blocks together, each one with a different color. It's an easter egg about their new studio, Extremely OK.
At least that extra room you get for the golden strawberry is dumb easy compared to everything else you would’ve done at that point. I shall now solemnly swear that I shall reach that final room legitimately one day! Whether it a take months, years, or even a decade. I shall do it!
Celeste was a masterpiece from level 1-8 . I played 19 hours the last 3 days and died 6000 without getting angry. 30 min in this level I called It quits , it would have ruined the game experience😅
I found another "secret" in chapter 9. It's not so hidden so you probably know already about it, but since it's not in the video, here i go ! Right after the very first time you see a jelly fish, there is a skip. Instead of going down, you have to go up right. I won't tell you how (unless you ask of course), but there is another room after that. It looked super hard. I didn't know about the wave dash at that time, so that seems super hard. I'm no speedrunner or anything, and i spent a few hundreds of lives trying to get to that room and finish it, but the reward was disappointing. Is there anything i missed in this room ?
About Madeline possibly being Trans: the color scheme of that flag isn't just used in that final cutscene. Those colors are _everywhere_ in the game, most notably in the scenes where you're flying through the air in chapter 7.
I'm managed to skip the gate on my own, I'm current playing it before beating most b-sides. It's hell, I'll drop and go through the game normally, but I want to get to a checkpoint first.
i dont care that this video is a year old, im going to be one of the very few who will do golden berry legit. i dont care how long it takes, how much i suffer, i will do it.
14:04 thanks for this information, now I know, what wait me if I collect gold strawberry PS: I complete ch 9 with gold strawberry PPS: I play with variation mod
WAIT WGEN I HEARD WHAT THE THING WITH THE PURPLE HEART HAD I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS FROM THE GAME TALKING LIKE THEO OR MADELINE OR GRANNY IT COULD BE ANYONE
Golden Berry Run: ua-cam.com/video/BZsNg-8_xpw/v-deo.html idk who this is but good job to them. They also did the last room first try without ever seeing it before, just heard it from other people
The golden room isn't even hard, it's just the fact that by that point your blood is probably boiling and your fingers going parkinson mode
That's great 🤣
And your heartrate is probably double or more what it usually is when resting.
Easily
Yeah, another thing is that stupid mistakes are very common even when you are not "hyper ultra deluxe stressed out" so it would probably be easy to die. Also there's almost no easy way to practice the room without assist or debug mode so you can't really get a good feel for the room.
A gem could crack under such pressure...
"I see you have discovered debug mode" *immediately dies*
For those who don't know the reference in the secret golden strawberry room, the green flag its a reference to the original celeste game. The green flag its the last flag in the minigame.
MncMarcos I loved that when a first saw it, such a perfect way to end.
The sound effect is the same too.
It also used to be the checkpoint sign (in normal Celeste), but it got replaced by a mountain symbol later on
fun fact, if you bring the golden strawberry to the moon berry room, it actually detaches from you so you can die, respawn, then regrab the golden and go get the moonberry! perfect for true 100% speedruns.
That's actually really cool
That actually would make a lot of sense, because in one of the moon berry rooms you have to take an intentional death in order to progress
do you have a video of that?

In the level at 2:00 you can disable electricity with only a jelly fish (not need to unlock the double dash door) the jelly fish must be taken from the previous level then you climb on the last lock jump to the right then throw the jelly on the left so it bounce on the wall and dash up
(Sorry for bad english)
Yeah, that happened me by accident and i was so confused if i was supposed to have the jellyfish still
During my blind playthrough I didn't know that you could reach the double Crystal so I did a short hyperjump to get onto the path the jellyfish is on, and then I could use the jellyfish from behind the door.
Wow, so many secrets I hadn't seen yet. Thanks for making this video!
Also, what if Granny/Celia is Madeline's actual grandma? The old her looks a lot like Madeline does now.
Could be
I thought Celia was Theo’s grandma. (Late reply ik)
If you reach the golden room with the golden strawberry, your heart rate is either double or nothing
Once I finally got the golden strawberry to the end of Farewell, just to find out I wasn’t done, I was so pissed. But I can’t stay mad at this game because the room wasn’t as bad as getting every heart, every strawberry/golden strawberry/flying golden strawberry, moon berry, completing every b-side, every c-side, spending 59:28:30, and dying 17,325 times. This game is great and very fun to 100% percent
There's flying Goldens????
@@coldfire2742 should be at the very end of one of the chapters. Maybe I just wasn’t remembered right, but I’m pretty sure it exists
@@p00p_eater Chapter 1 has it
there is no chance you got farewell golden with a total gametime under 60 hours. would make you the single greatest player of this game ever, beating everyone else to ever do it by hundreds of hours
@@oniondesu9633 Maybe you’re just shit at the game lol
Such a great video about an incredible game. I hope the devs will make yet another great stories in the future (not necessarily about Madeline, although I wouldn't complain).
It always amazes me how people discover these extremely well-hidden locations.
Modding scene is where it's at
I don't know how to put this exactly, but...I made a short Touhou fangame about six months back, and the experience of putting little touches and easter eggs into it because I was passionate about it and it just "felt right" to add small extra things when I thought of them makes me appreciate how passionate the developers of Celeste were about their game.
Particularly since Celeste is many, many orders of magnitude larger than anything I've ever made...
I knew there is no way I'll be able to get through chapter 9 when the PowerPoint presentation about wavedashing started,So I had to assist it through...
It's all good, you go at your own rate
3:52 Finally someone else found it
Yoo, I've been looking for a video like this like a hour ago, Thanks!
XD I've been working on it all day... just upload it. Much more to come
Oh hye!
@@iamdadbod I'm looking forward to it.
On debug mode, from the map select, it's far to the right of the edge of the stage if anybody has trouble finding it.
i really thought you had to go back in the final rooms and that the moon berry was a thing you always get... huh
What if the golden room is the end of Celia's climb?
I straight up cried when I saw the golden room, I took a break of like 2 weeks THEN died, about 3 full runs after, I did it, but after that I went into a hiatus of like 3 months before I got to touch the game again xDDDD
Looks like madeline has a gaming keyboard
wow this video has a lot of views!
It's because intro car is in the thumbnail. Change my mind
No need, it's true
INTRO CAR
Did you find the skip with the first medusa ? At 11:47 you can go left from there, It makes you go in the room at 11:54 !
I did, took a minute, but I got it
I intentionally didn’t watch this video until I saw a full playthrough to not be spoiled, but I think it’s time.
I believe a guy called Eenox was the first to legitimately golden strawberry this game. I even saw his “meme” run where he went through all the hard secrets, even the moon berry and the golden strawberry can be done at the same time. (In the room you have to die in the golden strawberry moves to the end of it). I fanboyed so hard when I saw the final golden room with the flag. I played the Pico-8 version in school before I even knew about Celeste being a full game. I speedran it, and one day I searched up the name and would ya know, it’s on Steam as something even greater! I’m glad this game doesn’t forget its origins. Thank you developers.
Lennygold was first, eenox did a full golden and moonberry run
iamdadbod Nice
My heart just dropped the moment you died in the golden strawberry room, I can already feel the amount of hours lost attempting that.
I'm not sure about this but in the room where learn for the first time how to carry the jellyfish, you can see platforms and a dash refresher above the path you're supposed to take. So that could be something but you'd need 2 dashes because that's too much height...
8:33 That's called an anti-softlock lol
Hope you didn't get the golden strawberry to that point
@@gferrol118 it detaches if you do get to that point
Sorry I haven't said anything, I was avoiding spoilers until I could get the moon berry! I completed chapter 9 in a day, but the moon berry is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be going off the hint "Go back at the end of the final screen"
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@iamdadbod It was amazing, but I'm sad it's over
I'm going to purchase the PC version, rather then just getting it free from epic to show my support
@@icelingbolt good guy JF
When I first found the Kevin room I was terrified. I spent a straight hour researching it and couldn't find anything. The worst part was I was so scared that I literally couldn't leave.. I just wanted to find the meaning.
This level was such a wild ride for me. Shattering all my previous negative records of other levels.
Most time spent in one level, went from 8 hours on Summit B (haven't touched C's yet apart from Chapter 1) to... 22 hours.
Most deaths suffered in one level, went from 2.2k in Summit B to 5.1k
Most frustration from missing jumps just by tiny margins or failing what feels like too much swapped from Core A&B to Farewell.
I started this Chapter, thinking that it'll be a nice trip to celebrate what I had done prior. Then the lightning stikes and granny is a grave. Ouch. That hit me more than the death of my actual grandma. Because that was a shocker to me instead of me knowing that it'll be easier because she was sick and in pain.
I got to the white crystal heart and assumed "Oh baby. I done it. Final Level complete" but OH NO. It continued. I struggled and got frustrated about the wavedash because I wanted to do it too fast. But calming down helped. I reached the final checkpoint and the short reassurance from Madelines other self was nice to hear. I needed that. I held through, learnt the patterns and did it. And then I went back in to get the moon berry, spending another additional 2 hours 43 in the level, giving 400 more lives. I feel accomplished now and with confidence about the C-Sides I skipped on.
But I don't think I'll manage Farewell Golden any time soon..
Awesome journey, gg
What's funny about the demo dash room is that I knew about it, and the first time I tried going for it I kept messing up the secret entry, but when I eventually got it I managed to pull off the 2 consecutive demos first try
I promptly started screaming after that
I've actually found all of this but I never tried talking to Granny for some reason
Oh man, I think I was a bit under halfway done before I decided I needed to stop. I don't know how much I'll have to redo since I don't know how much it save checkpoints you, but oh well. I'll beat it tomorrow. The moonberry shall be mine then as well!
If you save and quit, it saves you at exactly the same room you left off in.
@@Oneiroclast Okay, thanks, that's good to know.
Dang a chapter ten woukd have been so cool to make it an even number and a full ten set of chapters but i mean this is awesome too
1:35 yeah that hit me so hard i actually screamed
Someone has already done it, it took like half an hour tho, super fast!
3:55 well judging the colors and all the screen for me displays either ch4 or ch7
You miss the shortcut on your first jellyfish meeting in this chapter.
I was hoping for some info about the jellyfish alternate route :\ when you get to the first jellyfish you can hover and then dash upwards to get to a platform higher up, that you have to do that dash long jump off of to get to a really annoying jellyfish challenge.
I think it's just an alternate route for speedrunners, as it requires you to perform wavedashes even before the game teaches you that move. Whether or not it's a faster route remains to be seen.
It's in my run that's coming up.
I'm really glad this video exists, because during the red bubble sequence after collecting all the keys I saw the openin in the crystals from where the alt route sends you out, but at the time I thought that crystal opening was a secret room that I would have to dash into from the red bubble, really glad I could just see it here so I didn't have to bother only to find nothing
Fun fact: someone has actually done the golden strawberry for farewell
Even more fun fact

THE KEVIN KLUB
XD
I was curious about something to do with the golden and moon berry, and I wasn't willing to get the golden berry because I am no where near good enough, so I was going through then... 11:11
bonk
i just imagine at the end of the golden strawberry room Madeline dies on the spikes badeline threw her into instead of the ending playing.
heart skip is pretty poggers ngl
Finished this chapter today... whew that was intense
GG
@@iamdadbod almost failed at the last purple bubble, wasn't looking at the screen celebrating and barely managed to squeeze in the last dash o_o
1:32 the devs just decided *"she's seen too much"*
i actually done chapter 9 golden online and when i got to the golden room everyone was there watching me attempt it and i died the very next run i made it to the golden room and got the golden and my final berry in the game
There's more two easter eggs that was missing in the video, but it's fun to mention.
One of them is in when the background turns purple, you can see that there's a broken tower there, together with a broken heart and a broken car. The tower can be a reference for Towerfall, which is a game from Matt (when he had Matt Makes Games) and Madeline makes a cameo on it.
The second one stays on those blue/yellow/red/green blocks part. The second room of that part shows 4 blocks together, each one with a different color. It's an easter egg about their new studio, Extremely OK.
At least that extra room you get for the golden strawberry is dumb easy compared to everything else you would’ve done at that point.
I shall now solemnly swear that I shall reach that final room legitimately one day! Whether it a take months, years, or even a decade. I shall do it!
Yea... just getting there is crazy enough
In the first jellyfish screen you can go up to the right
the lightning almost made me cry when i started the chapter, i was not ready for this
The feels...
Celeste was a masterpiece from level 1-8 . I played 19 hours the last 3 days and died 6000 without getting angry. 30 min in this level I called It quits , it would have ruined the game experience😅
Funny how the next video on my autoplay is actually a person finishing chapter 9 with the golden strawberry
That's a gg tight there
Nice
0:00 relatable. 9:20 oh lmao i did that before i watched any vid on it. Good for me?
that is not the same strat I used for the moon berry and I'm honestly kinda stunned how different your strat is from mine.
It's amazing how many ways you can do something in this game. It's inviting to many ways get past its obstacles while still being difficult as hell.
I found another "secret" in chapter 9. It's not so hidden so you probably know already about it, but since it's not in the video, here i go !
Right after the very first time you see a jelly fish, there is a skip. Instead of going down, you have to go up right. I won't tell you how (unless you ask of course), but there is another room after that. It looked super hard. I didn't know about the wave dash at that time, so that seems super hard.
I'm no speedrunner or anything, and i spent a few hundreds of lives trying to get to that room and finish it, but the reward was disappointing. Is there anything i missed in this room ?
Thank you, but you didn't miss anything. It's just an alt path for speed runs
i was playing celeste while watching this and i was in the room with the intro car while you had assist mode on
Nice
"and then when you get over here it's just sadness"
😔
About Madeline possibly being Trans: the color scheme of that flag isn't just used in that final cutscene. Those colors are _everywhere_ in the game, most notably in the scenes where you're flying through the air in chapter 7.
I think it has been properly confirmed by the creator now
Yeah, I was always thinking about that
Like, the glow from ch.2 was super clear
I'm managed to skip the gate on my own, I'm current playing it before beating most b-sides. It's hell, I'll drop and go through the game normally, but I want to get to a checkpoint first.
Dang... That doesn't seem easy at all lol
Nice job
Thx OT!
Wait, didn't Kevin (as in the sound designer) work on/make Phonopath? That would explain all the audio puzzles
Yes
Awesome
One day after you published this video, someone obtained a golden strawberry
Ooooh yeaaa ua-cam.com/video/Ky4yY9K-Pyg/v-deo.html
Discovered anything new? I haven’t found anything else, but I’m still very suspicious over the spectrogram though.
I'm still digging
i dont care that this video is a year old, im going to be one of the very few who will do golden berry legit. i dont care how long it takes, how much i suffer, i will do it.
Do itt, let me know when you do!
@Killer King good luck!
How is it?
Did you do it , after 4 months?
i just watched this vid, and after this, i got recomended another of someone literally getting the golden strawberry on ch. 9
It's good stuff
14:04 thanks for this information, now I know, what wait me if I collect gold strawberry
PS: I complete ch 9 with gold strawberry
PPS: I play with variation mod
WAIT WGEN I HEARD WHAT THE THING WITH THE PURPLE HEART HAD I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS FROM THE GAME TALKING LIKE THEO OR MADELINE OR GRANNY IT COULD BE ANYONE
Golden Berry Run: ua-cam.com/video/BZsNg-8_xpw/v-deo.html
idk who this is but good job to them. They also did the last room first try without ever seeing it before, just heard it from other people
And Granny's bird pin in the photograph!
