All BURG.L Super Chips in

11 minutes faster than my previous upload of this!
The Zylo uploaded a run so thought I'd do the same, get a little back and forth going maybe. I'll definitely come back to this when someone beats it, although those gosh darned thistles cost me dang near 30 seconds, so I might have to run it again sooner!
In other news, I have started theorycrafting a Mantis run...

[@element8569]

Love that hedge lab, everything was so godamn smooth. I think this is the second most fun run behind hedge lab%

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeahh getting it clean now. Got good rng with enemy aggro so I didn't have to manually back out of any menus after picking up password pieces. Eyy you liked the hedge lab run did you?

[@GameNix]

You always make my anxiety level high , walking by the side of 2 Wolf spiders. Trust me guys, he do on purpose.

[@JEFF-xg1km]

The sound the Assistant Manager makes when he gets hurt 💀

[@zylo4029]

Very nicely done! Can’t wait to try this run again with the optimisations you’ve made to it. I just love that the best way to kill AssMan is by using fists while chucking a collection of clubs at his minions to clear them, such a funny strat lol

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks! Yeah get on it, still more time to be saved! Hahaha it's such a fun and funny strat, I appreciate you making that a thing

[@Justapug82648]

“OW"

[@isaiah-6334]

Nice! This was rlly fun to watch tbh

[@yummybacon2906]

Lots of respect, not just the video but also just looking through the comments and being positive. Great work man!

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah for me personally just feels rude to not respond when someone is trying to talk to me! So I do and don't hope to one day have too many comments to possibly respond to haha

[@slyguyxbl288]

the extra time on the thistle had my heart pumping! amazing work here, practice paying off truly!

[@HolyCodzta]

Oh mate, my least favourite part of the run by far hahaha. So tilting

[@XanCalGil]

I've been really looking forward to this video. Cheers. Great run

[@HolyCodzta]

Awesome, anything else in particular you wanna see?

[@XanCalGil]

@@HolyCodzta I think a few of us are probably looking forward to a Mantis run

[@HolyCodzta]

@@XanCalGil Sweet. I have started theorycrafting on that, might be a while till you see it on the channel though. SPOILERS: Need to get into stump lab for the recipe so need AssMan's keycard to open the room with the button in that section of pond lab. Need Broodmother chunks and splinters for the kebab so need a tier 3 axe too. Not sure what to use against the Mantis but if I wanna use Broodmother club I'll need to killer her twice... Gonna be a hell of a run I know that much!

[@sxna4420]

Dude ur insane, u should honestly start making guides for combat and other stuff about the game, good content ur knowledge is vast asf.

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks, think I will do at some point!

[@sammadinah]

Thanks

[@HolyCodzta]

Sam again! Thanks so much

[@GunZ__]

Congrats!

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks!

another banger video

[@B.veyron2005]

The other cool thing about this is that it helped me find the lab entrances so it doubles as a guide!

[@HolyCodzta]

Glad I could help!

[@derrickbarlow5616]

Have you ever tried speed running weapons like the mint mallet, spicy coaltana, salt morning star, etc? If not it could be pretty fun to do.

[@HolyCodzta]

I've done insect hammer before but not seriously. I've seen that old Mint Mallet run from early access, maybe I should pay homage to that with a 1.0 Mint Mace run

[@acid45]

I love your speed runs because I never know what your gonna do next, I see you do something and I’m thinking that your an idiot, then you reveal what you were doing and I’m thinking that your making Albert Einstein jealous with your intelligence!

[@HolyCodzta]

Hahaha there can be a lot of doing things earlier to help later on! Like even though I die with granolas and stuff in my backpack at the hedge I can get it all back with the game repair options. I think you might take that comparison back if you got to see some of my failed attempts ;)

[@Badoopboop]

FILLLTTTHHHHHYYYYYY LFG! Love it!

Cheers brother!

Speedrun Idea: Full Midthridatism (Kill 10 Wolf Spiders)

[@frankie310]

Have you considered streaming? I know it might just add a new layer of difficulty to speedruns if the runner's not used to em, but could be fun. I'd watch.

[@HolyCodzta]

Think I might stream at some point yeah! Getting the Mant run took so long that streaming attempts would have probably been worth it

[@nat4875]

Wow great job it is your record

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah I guess so, feels weird calling it a record seeing as only other person has run this though haha

[@nikoherrod5307]

Awesome run. Do you think there will be a 100% run category?

[@HolyCodzta]

100% as in 100% on the report card? Maybe but I don't want any part of that! Zylo's done any% which is the closest we've got so far kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKGce4OibseYnpY

[@rileym8271]

Hey, I had a question for these speedruns. I notice alot of the time for transportation you will be sprinting however you don't jump and release sprint to save your stamina? I'm literally like 99.9% it doesn't slow you down however I would need to run a legit test to make sure. I'm recommending that while sprinting you jump and then release sprint to conserve your stamina, then once you land you press sprint again for a short duration and jump, almost like b-hopping. I believe this works because you don't lose any momentum while jumping in the air and therefore the only time you need to sprint is when you land on the before jumping again.

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah I've seen a few people have tested it and it doesn't seem to slow you down. I think it just feels like it slows me down because of the fov change so I never got into the habit of doing it. Will test it myself because it might be better on flat ground but worse jumping uphill, downhill or over things and it can very slightly throw me off route which can add up a slight time loss; think how precise the movement and lines are in Golden Eye speedruns for example. I have started doing it recently though in low risk situations where I'm not likely to bump something and lose time

[@rileym8271]

@@HolyCodzta interesting I guess that makes more sense. I thought about the idea that your pathing would be that specific, so it makes sense, you need to gather certain materials at certain spots. I believe you're correct tho uphill it def doesn't help and unless you were in a specific part of the run where stamina drain stopped u from sprinting there would be no time gain. Although maybe if I get bored I'll look at the some of the runs and see where u got stamina drained while traveling? although u keep improving runs so I don't think that level of optimization is really required right now, at most it would save seconds right

[@zylo4029]

Hi there, fellow speedrunner here. The strat you’re talking about does save time but only a little and only during long running sections. It’s also annoying to do if you’re doing it throughout a whole run. I’ve had sessions where my thumb started aching from constantly clicking the left thumbstick (I play on console)

[@HolyCodzta]

@@rileym8271 I do occasionally run out of stamina at annoying points, like right before the hedge lab wall jump up so it could be used to help with that for sure. You're right about routes changing though, just saw a comment about going through anthill to Burg.L like in my hedge lab run which, although I need aphid slippers so will still clear the first laser anyway, would skip mystery machine and I'd just set up lean-to and workbench outside the anthill so the route and timing to hedge would be different again. So jump sprinting would probably be most useful for a run like any% that I'd imagine will be the most common, contested and refined run in future.

[@HolyCodzta]

@@zylo4029 Have you tried mouse and keyboard on console or even just making your own button layout that could help with that kind of stuff? Forgotten most of the controller controls by now but could using a bumper to sprint with toggle turned off be better? Thumb for space bar and pinky for left shift is alright on mkb.

[@w3kc898]

do you think future boss speed runs are possible in woah! difficulty?

[@HolyCodzta]

For sure, Chewy4u already did whoa Broodmother runs back in early access!

[@GameNix]

Why you always suicide in the start of the game(coming out of the suitcase). Is it important?

[@HolyCodzta]

Just saves time irl because otherwise I have to listen to dialogue and wait a while to get control of my character

[@BallCrusher2000]

[@carterchampagne8004]

ridiculously fast

[@HolyCodzta]

Always

[@bluegribes3287]

What is the best way to practice perfect blocking

[@HolyCodzta]

I would save your game, change it to custom and turn player damage off. They changed this setting so that you can still parry attacks but won't take damage if you miss any blocks, so you can just sit there and practice for as long as you like. Then just load the save you made at the start and it will change it back from a custom save and reenable achievements.

[@sonic176yt7]

Sometimes when you flick to grab stuff or kill, it looks like you use some kind of aim position

[@HolyCodzta]

What's an aim position?

[@sonic176yt7]

@@HolyCodzta what I mean is aimbot
