Hey there! I was thinking of running this game, and I was wondering if it would be possible to do something along the lines of Glitchless% where the goal would be to get to the boss without using the wallclip glitch. It would be a bit of a longer run, but I thought it might be interesting to optimize it. Thoughts?
Note for keybinds: make sure your spell casting bind is for quick cast and not focus! You won't be able to perform some of the first few tricks like fireball skips in greenpath if you don't use quick cast.
Thanks for all the replies, these have been really helpful! I normally am able to do QGA within the first few tries, but I definitely think I lose a lot of time in the gardens. With that in mind I think I might switch my routing to shroom since I already have more practice with the deepnest route lol.
Now, in regards to what Michaelo was saying, does that mean that running 1.5.78 is slower for the THK shroom fight (or just not possible at all)? I haven't tried downpatching before, and would like to avoid it if possible, but I might have to if there is a significant time loss in the most recent patch. I'm still pretty new to using the shroom charm on the final fight, so I might not have noticed if I was doing it wrong on previous attempts. Thanks again!
Hi everyone! I couldn't find a definitive answer, so I thought I'd ask y'all if skipping QGA and doing the spore shroom route through deepest instead could save time in the long run from the HK fight. How much faster is the HK fight with shroom instead of shaman + VS? I'm familiar with the route from Steel Soul runs so I was wondering if I should change my Any% NMG routing (I run current patch). Thanks!
Hey everyone, pretty new to the speedrunning community here. I have a question regarding livesplit. How do I go about creating a new layout for different runs without overriding my previous layout? I accidentally wiped my Any% NMG layout when I started practicing Steel Soul, and I'd like to not make the same mistake. Thanks!
