[@Cryfor]

the only level where we go pitch black is ruins 1, in this run out of the 4 fights in there, 2 were good (one even perfect) and 2 were pretty average. if you were referring to the stress inside the darkest dungeons - I got pretty lucky there, good RNG overall (crit-killing enemies avoiding stress to begin with etc.) also I'm using torches in there :)

jeez, there are too many people that don't understand how speedruns work. such a shame! actually because of this speedrun i started playing this game myself. yep, I've lost part of my first impression but! actually if i haven't, i wouldn't write this right now. for me watching speedruns is a good way to see if i'd want to play the game or not. so thanks a lot!

[@1_1bman]

if you never need reynauld for the rest of the run, maybe you can let him die on the tutorial so a third hero shows up in the stagecoach? Does the tsplit glitch then give you a third hero on all subsequent stagecoach refreshes until next week?

[@Cryfor]

yeah it should in theory work, allthough I think it will not save time since getting reynauld killed will on average just take longer than tsplitting a couple extra times.

[@1_1bman]

@@Cryfor if a way was found to very quickly accumulate stress, you could give reynauld heart attacks from the ghost dude curio too; the trapped chest could even deathblow him if that's not enough.

[@Cryfor]

@@1_1bman while that is all true, I still think it's not worth it time-save-wise. A tsplit takes ~30 secs, getting reynauld killed will no matter how you do it take longer sadly (in my experience). Also it is merely for rolling one hero extra on the first week (since we'll have the stagecoach upgraded afterwards anyway).

[@thewolfofthestars1847]

I wonder if anyone will ever figure out ways to manipulate the RNG for DD... We have ways to generate new RNG rolls fairly easily for multiple scenarios, but we still don't have a way to control what those rolls are. How much time do you think could be saved if a method of RNG manip was discovered?

[@Cryfor]

well, in theory a lot could be saved if we had always perfect RNG in combat - that's a big chunk of timesave right there, would surely bring the category sub 1 hour easily.

[@gloobamane6516]

Ik this is probably an faq but what is the purpose of running open vein over Wicked Slice? Seem like lost crit chance and damage for a dot that ends up being less than the the damage from wicked slice.

[@Cryfor]

it usually does well enough, especially on the (mini)bosses with mutliple actions per turn (the only exception being the "growth" type enemies with high bleed resistance) - that's at least what it feels, but it is surely not wrong to take wicked slice. I also tend to forget to switch abilities around sometimes, so it's also a convenience-thing ;)

How do you bring in the same heroes to the darkest dungeon with no stress or virtue penalties?

[@stygiansilver9320]

Its a glitch called the scaredy-warp, you have to click the provision button in the mission selection screen and then (Before you load in to the provision screen) select a different mission. This is a minorly tight window but you can increase your chances with using a pop up warning menu. So what this actually does, this trick lets you bring any heroes to any mission type :3

Bought the game last week, already sitting on top of 120 hours of gameplay. Can't believe I missed such an amazing game. Great video mate. Btw I am at DD's door right now, read everywhere that same characters can't enter DD again after clearing a level. So I am taking a break to do research and make my mind for 4 different teams for each DD with 16 characters right now. Is there a bug you use on the video to enter with the exact same team/characters? If that's so is there a repercussion to it? Or what I read is simply about another/higher difficulty?

@@joha4574 I am a pianist (also studied management and music theory) and if you are looking for a long run, I play it for 29 years since I was 6 :) But the last series of Light novels I read that is 3,3 million words (thats around 75+ novels long) in the last 6 months.. When it comes to something that I really really enjoy I might be less patient then piano. Hell if I could play moonlight sonata 3rd movement within 2-3 hours of condensed practice, I really would.

[@tomvandalen2212]

So... sub 60 within 6 months?

[@Cryfor]

probably not, even though my sum of best now is 55:18 - but that would require basically perfect RNG whenever possible - which is just an astronomically low chance and would probably defy all laws of statistics. (if we don't find a new skip/trick that is)

There are actually two ways to do it, but in the context of this run - we use a trick called the TSplit to trick the game into thinking we did another dungeon, thus advancing the week and rerolling the stagecoach :)

Hi! Haven't watch a speedrun of this game since the scaredycat strat... That's a totally different run! What a bout the grave robber instead of the houndmaster ? She hits hard on targets with bleeds (and poisons), or maybe I'm missing something about the houndmaster that makes him better

[@Cryfor]

graverobber actually only hits harder on blighted targets, not on bleeding ones. Houndmaster seems like a better fit since he is pretty independent, provides some additional bleeds and has the dog treats for some nice burst. Also the HM can attack basically from all positions, which makes him overall a better in comparison to other damage dealer options. (PD is great, but no burst, arbalest has good damage, but lacks versatility)

[@azerty454]

"I honestly don't know how much time realistically there is to save , maybe a couple minutes." Ok. Everyone can waste his time like he wants. I personnaly stopped at 13th minute. And so, i saved more than an hour. For you, it could have been much more, but i'm not in your head right ? If spending so much time using a trick to win a so-called world record is at this price of proudly repetitive and mind-numbing action, it's a big NO THANK YOU. If the purpose is only to beat a record, no matter the method and obtain a better numeral based on tricks and, especially in this game, luck, you can surely say you're the best. The thing is, spending so much time trying to perform this kind of method, the questions turns into... What for ? Proudless of being the best ? As we can see everywhere, it seems human soul is at this cost. Being the best, without any other consideration than being the best, just means nothing if it's not escorted by something more substantial like merit, and ends in absurdity. Moreover, there is here a notion of cheating to access to the best time. "that's what speedrunners do." Sure. Yeah. Sure. So, if "speed-runners" do, does it means it's a good thing just cause the discipline says so ? Sure, learning to click exactly at the right time at the right place to gain few seconds is a kind of performance but with hindsight, and combined to other considerations in the upper paragraph, does it worth it in the gain/loss game ? You do what you want of course. And others trickers (Not speedrunners in my opinion) too. In a million years, if E.T. come to earth and discover than this kind of activity could be a so fantastic time-spender, maybe they'll laugh out loud. And I don't think this help the world to be better. And it's probably not your goal. But the problem is, you show this to new generations, they say "congrats", take it as a model and some of them will confine themselves in an ego world full of nothing. I don't think we need this. This is the difference between differents modes of speed-run. Performing by trainning on every piece of a game and establishing a record by knowing every millimiter of the game is one thing, and proves at what point the game can be pushed in authentic ways, what is the real time "physically" possible to finish it and gives a real measure of what it's made of. Using bugs in a game in which strategy is the heart of the gameplay just ruins this heart. In this kind of "time-gain", in fact, it seems to me that every game just become generic, only becomes a support of a performance by exploiting the "tragic extend of my failings", lose all of his mechanics and subtilities and can be replaced by any game of any studio just cause its only credit is to take benefit of the dents, which can be done everywhere. Everyone do what they want, but showing oneself at a larger scale is a responsability. A lot of people see themselves as models just because they think they're good at something. So, another question is: Would you do the same if there were nobody to see you in a pure hobby passion ? This is my opinion, and i'ts not my exclusivity. "World record" means nothing by itself. Like reading ?

[@Cryfor]

hey, thank you for the writeup! I appreciate your thoughts but I have to point out, that maybe you should look up other categories of darkest dungeon speedruns - as they don't use the multi-client glitch. also I'd like to point out that when I started to run Any% the runs took 8-10 hours, if you want to see pretty much glitchless runs, you can go and watch them ;) regarding your questions: why spend so much time performing the same trick over again? to obviously get a faster time, that what speedruns ultimately are about and to me it IS interesting to see how far/low the time can get, especially in such a high RNG game like Darkest Dungeon is. I totally understand that this might not be interesting to watch - but for some people it is. I always advocate people to not use any glitches in their casual runs, to preserve the experience that darkest dungeon originally provides since I love the game so much that I want other people to have the intended experience. since I do all this as a hobby and don't earn any money from it (really). I'm not about tryharding to become a big infulencer or the likes, I'm just a dude that loves speedrunning darkest dungeon, and if people like to watch - great! :) if they don't - still great! I don't see myself as a model of any kind of sorts. So yes, I would do (and always did) it the same because it IS a hobby (and has been). and yes, I like reading :)
