Enraged by the game? That was some impulse...

Luckily his videos are still accessible, but they may not stay forever.

Gee, he could just leave these things behind even if he quits playing.

Uhh, why is the former best record/player in this category gone?

Reform can be painful at first, but it's for the better future!

And still not a second participant so far. He achieved this only by using past self as target.

Book categories are finally back! This is where the charm of RTA is!

Hope to see you be the 3rd player on the leaderboard!

Even as watcher, I want to know about this "questionable gimmick", it will be better with video.

I can tell devs want to run this game in long-term, and in a healthy way.

Oh, sorry, I only mean joining the competition of advanced levels, not also playing them in this way.

You are also a keen runner, so I am curious why you haven't speedrun any of them.

As audience, I wanna say hell yeah to this. RTA should have been a thing earlier in this game.
BTW, why you haven't started running any advanced level, if you have such dedication to this game?

Although I am just a audience, I wonder the reason of it. Is this the reason this DLC has much less runners than the main game had back then?

**Patch 1.4.6** is out, and with it some changes were made to Sundered Sons.

It is no longer possible to grab this hold from the ground :

All runs that have been verified prior to this change will thus be rejected and you will need to submit a new run with this patch. The developper is aware of the speedrunning community and will probably keep adjusting maps to better suit his vision. Everytime, runs affected by changes will become obsolete.

Happy speedclimbing!

New Patch 1.4.6 / Changes to Sundered Sons

Patch 1.5.4 is out, and with it the final changes to movement techs :

- Quickgrabs and Pickswapping are now gone

- Crampon jumps are back to 3 and their force has been increased overall

This means that leaderboards are gonna be wiped a final time. To prevent further wipes due to a new patch, any run using a new game breaking tech will not be verified until the Dev's approval. It is unfortunate but this is the only way to keep a healthy leaderboard.

**Category changes :**

- Removal of every old patch categories

- Removal of Stamp% to avoid redundancy with Pocketwatch%

- Individual Book categories are returning instead, including : Fundamentals%, Intermediate%, Advanced% and Extreme%. They will hopefully bring diversity in runs. 

**Rule tweaks :**

Some rules have been adjusted for the sake of consistency across categories.

Happy speedclimbing!


New Patch 1.5.4 and final (?) movement tech update / Category changes / Rule tweaks

**Patch 1.9.5 is out** and with it, some fixes and tweaks have been made :

- coffee has been fixed and is now giving the buff for 9s, as intended.
- one of the last holds on **Sundered Sons** has been moved to prevent the most recent skip :

- the last hold on **Cromlech** has been moved and the map has been tweaked to prevent the most recent skips :

![](/static/blob/dz4wq34e.png)

- one hold on **Stougr Boulder** has been moved to prevent the skip :

![](/static/blob/rz2vj9kn.png)

Because of those changes, the leaderboards for Sundered Sons, Cromlech and Stougr Boulder will be reset for **Pocketwatch%** and **Pocketwatch% Pipe Only**. **Any%** and **Book% Intermediate** leaderboards will also be reset.

Although some changes were made to coffee, the rest of the leaderboards won't be affected. If anything, runs will be faster now. That being said, new runs will have to be submitted under 1.9.5+ Patch from now on.

Happy speedclimbing!
