Part of it is the summon for sure, part of it is the poms of power, part of it is Poseidon doing insane damage on knock-back into barriers, and the flurry jab + hermes dashes + pressure points + mark + mirror upgrades = a ton of +% on top of already crazy base damage. The dash attack s mean more chances to attack too instead of avoiding damage. Every chance, the dash attack was the main upgrade choice no question

It should be about 41%. If the sac room is determined at the start and doesn't change, each time you enter a door you have a 1/5 chance of getting the sac or a 4/5 chance of not getting the sac. (4/5)^4 = 0.4096 = 41% chance of entering 4 doors and NOT getting the sac. Of course it really isn't that simple since your odds aren't actually X/5 each time since entering a door removes it from the pool. Your odds of getting the sac are 1/5 for Room 1, 1/4 for room 2, 1/3 for room 3, 1/2 for room 4 and 100% for room 5. *That puts your odds of getting no sac in the first 4 rooms at 20%* [(4/5)*(3/4)*(2/3)*(1/2)].

@@threebees7785 See my comment on the video itself, if there are special arbitrary rules then you can't really know/calculate unless you know all of them. If Room 1 is 0/0 but everything else is "normal" then the formula is the same, you just pretend it's 4 rooms instead of 5 and ignore the first. That means you have a 25% chance of a 5-room sac. Given there are only 3 rooms where you don't actually know (1 is always 0%, 5 is always 100%) I don't think you can say anything definitive about the second room unless you collect a LOT of data from people and it significantly deviates from 25%. As a programmer I wouldn't waste my time making it too complex so it seems logical to me that it goes like this: Door 1: 0%, Door 2: 25%, Door 3: 33%, Door 4: 50%, Door 5: 100%. That's a reasonable distribution and the odds for any room are high enough that it would be near-impossible for any single player to disprove that without thousands of runs to compare.
@stevenleonmusic3 жыл бұрын
@@threebees7785 I have 185 clears and 232 attempts. I think I may have had 5-door sacks even fewer times than you but that doesn't mean it isn't 25%. Our vague memories of what happened aren't very reliable and, even if they were, you certainly could do 100 runs and have something with a 25% chance only happen 1-2 times. You're not guaranteed for something to happen exactly 25/100 times just because there is a 25% chance of it happening. We would need thousands of runs from many players to get a statistically significant sample size-or access to the source code/a message from the devs.

Not sure if you even check YT comments, but: 1) How much does room RNG matter? Like rooms with normal enemies vs skull rooms. Or different mixes of enemies. Or some of those huge rooms in Asphodel that have enemies in the corners well out of agro range. I know sack RNG is a thing, but not sure about the rooms themselves. 2) What is the best way to get more efficient during combat? I couldn't even tell when you were using the special to keep the buff up, but you were doing it. And you were pretty consistent at dashing around to avoid getting it. And at being in the right place to undo poison or miss a trap. Is this just repetition or is there a way to practice it?

The satyr sack can appear in both mini boss and normal tunnels, but it also can never be on the first tunnel you choose so that doesn't really matter (as what kaisar0) said. Mini boss rooms give you better rewards (double pom, rarer boons, more gold etc.) so that is a likely reason, also yeah I agree with Battousai X that the mini boss final rooms are generally easier (and definitely faster) than normals as long as you don't get the tiny vermin.

How many runs does it take for you on average to get a 10 min, sub 10 run?

Granted I've only been trying it for 2 days, and I only have like ~150 hours instead of ~1500 but still... kinda insane what times speedrunners can get. My PB after 2 days of speed attempts is 11:08 and thats with pretty darn good RNG. Gonna grind some more in the following days, your vids helped a lot and I want to improve.

@stevenleonmusic3 жыл бұрын
My math could be wrong since it's early but your odds of a "5-sac" run should be 20%. You have a 4/5 shot at no sac for room 1, then 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, etc. since each clear removes that room from the possibilities. You add them all up and you should have a 20% chance of getting no sac in the first 4 rooms. The only thing that would change that is if there's some weird RNG at play where the sac isn't always in the same room when you first enter Styx (e.g. it moves around every time you clear a room or is decided by some other arbitrary percentage every time you enter a room). EDIT: If room 1 is always 0% you can just take it out of the equation so the overall odds of a 5-room sac are 25%.
