Can move during that cutscene, so facing away from lever, jump down, hold right and you can see yourself run out

‘Destroyed’😂 this isnt stopping anyone from playing it, if anything people might see this video and want to replay it for a speedrun. And for ‘fame’ this video only has 21,000 views 💀

The game hasn't been patched in years. Some throws need very careful placement and aim, this one is one of them.

@@Anemion Then I need to find a closer point or a different route, because it's not working for me. It's a good thing I cloud-saved that failed attempt, so they didn't actually go to waste. Regardless, I have NO IDEA how to make that shot, so I'll come back to this when I get to the closet save point.

If you'd still like to try, I made a guide detailling every spear setup from the speedrun. It's over here. This one is the fourth on the list : www.speedrun.com/fr-FR/ashen/guides/0edsa

@@Anemion OF COURSE I WILL! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :3

@@Anemion My... That guide you made... It's... Fantastic. I made it. I finally understood the position and the height. Thanks, man, really.

@@Majortrader8 Obviously no cheating here but I can see why you think it's abnormal. The Stray speedrun community allows the use of macro: one of its use case is to shake off zurks almost instantly meaning I'm not getting slowed down by them (but they do hit me). Although the macro main purpose is to speed up dialogues and doing cutscenes skips, it trivializes zurks. But to be clear, even if I didn't have a macro here, the zurks wouldn't be an issue at all, you would barely see a difference. The presence of macros in speedrun is often a very divise decision. The intent is always to try to bring more fairness between runners, but in the case of macro it aims to simplify certain aspects of the game. Sometimes its harmless but sometimes it can be seen as lowering the skill ceilling (which then strikes endless debates about whether or not runs/runners using macros are skilled, legitimate, etc.)

😂

This was done on pc/patch2. Some glitches have been fixed since but the devs are nice and gave us an option to download patch2 as a beta branch on Steam. For consoles however there's no way to run on that version anymore

The time displayed by the savefile is a bit messed up in the context of a speedrun because it rollbacks whenever you die/reload a checkpoint. This was probably intented by the devs to help people complete the 2hours achievement but it can also make a slower run look better than a faster run. The timer also stops during certain cutscenes (hence why it's only 43:xx and not 47:xx) and never counts the final walk when we leave control room after the roof opening CS. That's why we use a separate timer that only stops during actual loadings

I hope you're referring to CoS difficulty which is a rather imbalanced gamemode that would be the equivalent of trying to beat the games you mentioned at low level. To me, Ashen's main issue as a souls game is that it fails at teaching the souls basics. So I simply cannot understand how someone claiming to be a souls veteran can struggle or complain about the base difficulty of this game. Every mob can be defeated with AI and spamming R1, bosses don't have that many patterns and are easy to abuse. Is the last boss overtuned compared to the rest of the game ? Yes... but compared to main souls bosses it's not harder than Abyss watcher in DS3 for say. And yet I've seen so many souls vet' go in disrespecting this game by turning off AI, skipping every forms of upgrade, not using the lock-in system, and then pikachu face at the first difficulty spike.

Instead of letting ourselves getting pushed through the wall after triggering SP, there are a few frames to jump on ground. It doesn't change the way we activate the glitch

@@Anemion ah.. I see, will practice that. Thank you!

It's one of the best dps weapon in the game and available right a the start

@@Anemion thanks for the response big dog

That's correct. Console versions do not have access to old patches

You can if you have the disc version, just dont download the patch

It comes from the relic Ukkoto's Guile. Each orb adds on-hit damage

Troll.

Shame on you

The time displayed on your savefile is the one that matters for that achievement. It is different than real time because it pauses when you pause the game and rewinds if you die/reload checkpoint

@@Anemion I tried a reload, did it a lot faster and it was listed as 2hrs 8mins...so cumulative. It explains the retries for B12 being done as fast as possible...time adds up and does not rewind. 😐 Bummer, but now I know that if I need to consult the vid for a particular problem section, quit the current save to stop the clock running. Well done on the vid!! In the sewer level, jumping up on the power handle and zapping the Zurks...I LOLed and thought "Dang, that was pretty slick and impressive thinking".

Some of them are patched on the latest versions but the devs gave us a way to download the old patch. This category features glitches but as usual we also have glitchless runs

I think preemptive meowing helps to get them off your back.

He binds meow to scroll wheel so they can’t touch him

Its in the settings just make in from smash to single click And then smash in game they will cry
