They did make changes to enemy grabs in 1.0.0.9 that make the normal setup not work anymore. It's still possible to clip through the floor slightly lower down on the same hill, albeit more difficult. If you're fine with downpatching, 1.0.0.8 is available in the betas tab on Steam and (almost) all glitches work on this patch

This category actually already exists under miscellaneous (the little arrow in the top right of the leaderboard)

Got a 1:13:04 uploading here

Hey, we already have a category that is essentially Mothwing Cloak% (Aluba%), where the goal is to kill the aluba behind the hornet arena. With the other idea, as for all category ideas, it won't be considered unless there's significant interest in it from runners of the game.

It's a loyalty reward for playing the other games. If you don't have them, you can download the profile with loyalty rewards from resources and replace your current one. This will reset your badass rank and settings, so if you care about that you should back up your old one.

Optimal route would be longnail, not dreamshield, but yeah go for it. There's no category because there's no runs, get some people interested and running it and I'd add it.

Following a community vote, all categories under this ruleset have been removed. The runs can be found in the spreadsheet here:

Hey, here's what I remember about the run: Clipping through things is as simple as it looks, the only thing is you need a lowish framerate. I remember it being doable at 60 fps but not that consistent, so you may want to cap a bit lower. I use rivatuner statistics server for this. Nothing special about the wrong warp to the escape sequence, just go into a door that's meant to be inaccessible. Muting all game audio makes the cutscene at the start of the escape sequence play faster. Repeatedly healing at the end makes the end sequence run faster due to how cutscene skips work.

Nah the hornet 2 fight removes all your blue health so the route would be pretty boring. No reason to collect any until you've already got access to the door

Put one in the comment

Old versions of the game are fine

Splits aren't for remembering the route my dude

No idea what you're on about with the thief, but the category is added. Only boss that isn't possible on co-op (without glitches) is the unspeakable deep, and that has nothing to do with any npc.

Macros are not allowed

Someone in the discord (PantaLoon) is running this, but it's currently not nearly popular enough to warrant a new category. Also as yote is pointing out, a godhome ending category would be incredibly similar to the existing 112% category.

You need to be able to drop weapons without going into your inventory (PC only) for crit stacking, but weapon merging should be possible on consoles. You have to swap away from a weapon, open inventory before the swap is done, and move the weapon to a new hotbar slot.

Use of any game modifications other than the explicitly allowed increased load time mod has always been banned, this is not a new rule. Looking at the audit log, it seems your run was originally verified by Paerux, who has been inactive for some time now, so it may be difficult to reach him for an explanation. My assumption is he simply did not notice that you were using a modified game. You are free to do more runs to get a time back on the leaderboard, so long as you do not make use of any mods. Apologies for not noticing this much earlier.

Those are the two I have in mind as well, I just haven't gotten around to setting up the board yet. I will later today
