Celeste: Farewell (Ch. 9) Golden Strawberry

BREAKING NEWS
(sorry for the kinda embarrassing reaction btw)
This is what hell is actually like; makes 7B gold look like a joke.
2nd in the world by about 20 minutes lol, huge congrats chai and lenny (and hopefully plush soon BlessRNG)
This took me 66 hours, and I played this on for an average of around 10 hours everyday since release. So many horrible late chokes due to immense nerves. This was the most brutal grind I've ever gone through.
Now, this did take me longer than Iron God. However, I don't believe this is harder than Iron God. It took similar time, but I'm not nearly as experienced in Celeste as I am in The End is Nigh.
Also, it is possible to get both the Moon Berry and the Golden Strawberry in the same run, and I plan to do that as well. I won't go for it as hard as I did the golden initially, but I will do it.
Just give me some time. x_x

The Celeste team is sadistic for creating that last room

[@-Commit-arson-]

The icing on the strawberry pie is just that the Internet café music just starts playing out of nowhere just to shove that extra salt in the wound

[@thestoneyone06]

I beg to believe that room wasn’t made by the team, but by Fred Fucks.

[@thechairguy]

i love how the room relatively isn't even all that hard, it's so incredibly forgiving. it is literally just a nerve check to slap people wide across the face

Eenox in last screen during Chapter 9 golden: Be careful, don't mess it up Eenox in last screen during Chapter 9 golden with moon berry: Jump constantly in order to collect both berries at the same time

[@DougSalad]

"IT'S SO EASY" -een

[@_vsnwprintf_s_l]

I kinda think that Matt Thorson was trolling us by putting these strawberries in the game, and having no way to tell if someone is using assist mode just by looking at the screen footage. I think he knows full well that it's impossible, and the whole thing is little more than a social experiment to see how many people will cheat and then try to pass their work off as legitimate.

[@OrchidAlloy]

But it's not impossible, 2 people got it

Super happy for you man, I know this was a crazy grind and I couldn't be more amazed. Huge congrats!

[@fry1757]

I really wish I could’ve been there to see it. Great moves eenox, keep it up. 2nd person in the world to get it, congratulations you madman. 152% deathless when?

[@oinkymomo]

cursed_viewer never, unless another 60 “extra” berries get added

[@ElbyHere]

Just finished my second playthrough going 100% minus golden berries (except the no dash one on level one, was actually my first time getting it, that was fun), briefly considered going for the goldens, and was like "there is no way in hell I am doing chapter 9 without dying," so I settled for seeing just how insane it is through a video, and, this did not disappoint; I didn't even know about that last screen, thought you were just being facetious when you were saying "one more screen, how bad is it, show it to me" at the normal end, that was nuts, great work!

[@merogic]

Bro, how amazing is that work you've done here! I'm familiar with challenge runs, like to beat my own selection of games and was on the Farewell Chapter with Moon Berry for 10+ hours and 4.6k deaths. It blows my mind that someone can do all of it deathless together with the last room. Huuuge congrats! That grind is crazy and such an effort. I always like the feeling of doing a grind like that but to make such a time and dedication investment deserves lots of respect imo :) Kudos to you!

[@touhoe]

Nice job; you're an absolute iron/golden god as usual!! I wish I could've gotten to see it!

[@snugmarshmallow]

27:20 if you wanna have a heart attack congratulations, good luck w/ moon berry+golden!

[@butcherberries]

There have been many youtubers who were caught cheating to get these golden strawberry runs. I was merely warning you of the difficulty of achieving this feat. And I still wouldn't recommend it. The youtubers who have accomplished this feat have spent 8 months of their life playing this one game constantly. It's a good game, but... They have likely doomed themselves to severe health issues with arthritis and tendonitis in the future. Even after just playing through the B-Sides and C-Sides for the game, it took a week for my hands to recover. I literally broke several dishes, because I kept dropping things because of the tendon damage I took getting through every stage of this game. It's an unrealistic accomplishment that generally should not be attempted by the average gamer - and what I wrote is still as true today as it was the day I wrote it. If you want to attempt this feat and have anybody believe you, you better at the very least be live streaming the event, because if you just come along and tell someone you did this, they're not going to believe you without proof.

I think the absurd difficulty is what makes Farewell one of the absolute best levels of all time (imo). Even after nearly 3k deaths and 10 hours, this is still one of the most fun and rewarding gaming experiences I have ever had.
