Areas for improvement

1. Use gamepad

2. You don't need the box to go past the guard

3. Go to warrior's treasure room during later phase of the game, using the teleporter - all warriors will be gathered at the main hall for Call of the Chosen Ones and you will skip the whole "carry the box" thing

4. You seem to wait at the canteen needlessly - it is good to plan your movements so you will arrive at the canteen right as it opens

Have you read the True Ending guide? It has some strats that could be really helpful and this run could be improved by at least 5 minutes (well, you wasted over 3 minutes just to waiting at canteen)

At Moderation Rules we can read:

• Moderators should typically speedrun the game, or at a minimum be heavily involved with the community.
• Leaderboards should aim to have at least 3 active moderators if qualified people are available.
• Moderators should make themselves available for feedback from runners for rules, categories, and board organization via the game's forum page, social media, or Discord.

This is why I ask @HowToCantaloupe to grant moderator permissions to other people here. I am proposing myself (@Thedoczek) and @CertifiedPyro for new moderators. Treat the comment section under this post as a place to speak for or against our candidatures, and let Pyro use it to accept or reject my proposal of him being a moderator too.

Why us two? Because:

1. We're from different timezones
2. We're currently the most active people in the community, with no signs for our activity to decrease.

Then a question appears: Do we want add a rule of capping FPS for runs?

1. Second area is much shorter on the left side

2. You don't have to go backwards before going up the stairs

It saves 1-1,5s both ways, so around 3 seconds in total

I managed to accidentaly get boosted here. Since every door in Bards area looks like this, you could get a nice advantage if you manage to get stairboosted everywhere. Plus since the boosts I get are rather small for some reason, the advantage could be quite big here

Btw I noticed that every time I perform it, my boost ends right behind the stairs, while you are able to continue it until you hit the beds. What am I doing wrong? (and pls use gamepad viewer)

@HowToCantaloupe Can you implement this?

@CertifiedPyro Is there any advantage of the boost in the Bard elevator? + How exactly did you get it?

Btw use NohBoard or https://gamepadviewer.com/ guys, it would help understand these glitches so much

Okay, I did reproduce this.

Seems to be caused by going to the edge of a staircase which is right after the map entry point. Maybe this can be used in other places too.

Right now it is "When New Game button is no longer white"

But since it plays a cutscene right after that, I think it is better to move timer start to first non-black frame after the cutscene.

The existing runs would have 28s 680ms removed

(Btw I wrote to Rundisc in effort to try to make a tool that would listen to in-game events and time runs based on that, see AntiTimer for what I mean)

Timer starts as in Any%

Timer ends when the last glyph's animation stops playing (The glyph's background is fully white and the glyph is fully black [on glyph list, not in the book])

I made the speedrun.com logo and favicon in Chants of Sennaar style. I also adjusted theme colors to match the game. The preview can be found on https://www.speedrun.com/users/Thedoczek/

Primary color: #FEEF4A

Secondary color: #7A172C

Background color: #3D0B16

Panel opacity: 90%

Navbar color: Panel color

Background image:

Fit to screen, Center, No repeat, No scroll

As his viewer, who counted frames and measured time, I'd just like to note that the time is 21s300ms and it already is without cutscenes. But that doesn't matter because measurements are still rounded to 1s

Okay, seems like something broke in a browser and I had to copy the link and paste it into discord manually. Anyways, thanks for help!

The new link sent in previous Forum post has expired. Can I have a new one?
